american ambassadors abroad have wor
high praise for their conduct during and after
the troublous days<of the war outbreak
In Paris Myron I. Herrick bore himself so
courageously, efficiently and impartially that
all OF the combatants as well as his own coun-
trymen united in landing him. In fact his
work was so conspicuously good that no sooner
had he returned to the United States than
friends and admirers began to boom him for
the Republican nomination for president in
1916.
In London Walter Hines Page acted with in
telilgence and discretion. James Gerard IS
ability shone with rare brightness through the
uncertain days in Berlin and his was the
steadying hand for countless panic stricken
tourists. DIR. Henry Van Dyke minister to The
Netherlands, and others, gave distinguished
service. All of these in warning countries
handled embassies of belligerent countries as
well as their own duties.
Less has been heard about Henry Morpen-
THAI, appointed to Constantinople by President
Wilson. Now comes the following tribute in
the quarterly news bulletin of the American
Board. Scores of missionaries and teachers
IN the Ottoman Empire have reason to be
thankful that these words can be said of
Morgenthau:
Mr. Morgenthau is the right man in the
right place, and we. gladly acknowledge our
great Indebtedness to him during the critical
months. He is thorough American and has
taken pains by extensive travels through
Turkey with Our treasurer, Mr. Peet, and Presi4I
dent Bliss of Beirut, to famliarize himself with
conditions in. different parts of the country.
When war broke out he threw himself into the !
breach with tremendous vigor Out of his own
bank account he deposited $4,000 gold with
Mr.. Peet, to tide over the mission work until |
foreign exchange could be reestablished, and
"a scores of ways has shown himself friendly
and efficient. He is bearing heavy response
billties now with the care not only of American
Affairs but of British and French as well. He |
has taken aggressive measures to see that the |
Boafd's interests are looked after and espe-
elally that the Canadian missionaries working
under the Board shall not lack protection. Hell
has shown great ingenuity in providing means
OF getting funds. into the country for the sup
port OF American institutions. At recent re-
ception Mr. Morgenthau said: Il am thankful I
that represent a country whose chief interest
IN Turkey is educational and benevolent rather
than political or commercial !"
Cool in a crisis, amply able to handle deli
cate situations not covered by routine or prece-
dent always courageous, with vast common
sense and driving energy-these Americans
have given their country cause for deep pride

of the revolt of few days ago. 1t appears
that partly by luck and partly by vigilance a
very serious uprising was averted. When the
Filipinos see that the present administration
has no definite plans for giving the islands IN

THE robbers waited until nightfall
and then they stole up to the gate "
the town and when they got there
they found the entire opening was
covered with spider webs Everybody
must have moved out of this town,
said the chief of the robbers, for here
is the gate all covered with spider
webs that it must have taken months
to make. 1t is no use for us to waste
our time in breaking down the gate
when there is nothing inside for US
to steal, and so the chief and his band
moved on to the next town. The spi-
ders who were hidden, heard all that
the chief said. and they were delight
ed to think that they had saved the
town for the people who had been so
kind to them"
Well said Jack Rabbit, that

THE spiders, when they heard this
order given by the governor, Knew
that it must be obeyed, and they Eere
very much pleased, for often theIpeo-
pie had driven them out of the houses
or killed them when they found Them

together to decide on what they dould
do to pay the governor for his find
ness. After long consideration they
decided that the locks on the city Gate
must be worn and weak from ling
use, and that every night, when &e
gate was shut, it should be the duty
of the spiders to weave a web across
it, so that it would be more secure,
for, of course, the spiders thought
their webs very strong So every
night after that as soon as the gate
was locked at sunset the spiders wove
their webs across the whole space in
the wall which the gate closed.

STORY OF THE SPIDERS.

Mister Fox recovered very speedily
from the irritation in his throat caused
by the chicken bone which Jack Rab-
bit extracted with the tongs. and when
Jack Rabbit came next to see him he
was as well as ever.
1t was rainy day, ami everything
was dripping with the dampness when
Jack Rabbit arrived at the opening
into Mister Fox's cave Jack Rabbit
himself was pretty well soaked, al
though he had hurried as fast as he
could all the way.
Come in" said Mister Fox as soon
as he saw him, and sit down by the
fire and dry yourself" and when he
got inside Jack Rabbit found a nice
fire in the fireplace and two fine seats
made from the stumps of two trees
had been placed just in front of it, and
as one was much smaller than the 9TH
er he knew that Mister Fox had it
made expressly for him.

here?"
"Very little" said Jack Rabbit, land

is you would have hard time apply

Jack Rabbit settled back comforta-
bly, in his seat, as Mr.. Fox made ready
to begin his story.
"a long time ago." began Mr. Fox,
"when rabbits may have had long
tails like the one you tried to grow,
the people used to live in towns sur

was a gate through which everybody
had to go if they wanted to leave the

These walls were built to protect the
people from bands of thieves or en-

a governor or man who made all the

EXCELLENT FARMING
CONDITIONS IN CANADA
Letters from Settlers Indicating
Growing Prosperity.

The present year viii add another
proof that farming in Western Canada,
when carried on with the same energy
and system devoted to other lines of
business, will bring about results fully
as satisfactory.
Mixed farming as a tocsin has been
sounded for a number of years, and
today 1t is being adopted pretty gem
orally throughout the Provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
There are those who have made no
greater success of it than they did
when they pursued grain growing
alone, but where one has failed to ac-
complish what he had hoped to do,
dozens have scored success.
From Sedgewick, Alberta, we hear of
p. l.. Deputy, for past twelve years
manager for Frye & Sons, packers,
Seattle, who during 1914 were the
largest buyers of hogs on Alberta
markets. He is taking up active work
on his 1,200-acre farm near Sedge-
wick. Although he was one of the
highest paid salaried officials on the
Pacific Coast, his frequent visits and
personal knowledge OF farming condi-
tons In Western Canada convinced
him there are greater opportunities In
farming Alberta land than in CONNER
cial life. with greater assurance of
ultimate independence and prospects
of home-making under the most de-
sirabie conditions.
Thomas Mckay, farmer near Har-
disty, Alberta, has this to say about
the country:
Il came to Hardisty from Usage
City. Kansas, nine years ago and took
up a homestead here. This is a good
district for the farmer who wishes to
raise grain exclusively, and as mixed
farming country it cannot be beaten
anywhere in the world to my knowl-
edge.

which / shipped to Calgary. The mil
Ter who bought it said that it was the
best wheat that had ever gone into
Calgary. Wheat in this district yields
as high as forty bushels to the acre,
oats average sixty bushels. Alfalfa
does well here.
All in all think the farmers are

so that when hit is made 1t means
something. An electric motor on the
target carriage connects with bat
terry that keeps the carriage moving
backward and forward on the track.
In the case of the target shown in the
illustration the figures are constantly
in action, and it is an entirely different
proposition to hit one, especially in
vulnerable spot, than if they were
stationary. Such target is particu-
larly good for use in the militia or the
regular army, as in the case of war it
is not likely that the enemy would
stand still until somebody succeeded
in shooting them.

BOY SCOUT is ovERWoRKED
Turning Lads Into Amateur Scaven-
gers or Baggage Handlers Is Trav-
cling in Wrong Direction.

The American tendency to overwork
a good thing is showing in the case of
the Boy Scouts. Not content with
using the youngsters as special po-
hcemen, they have been set to work
cleaning up malodorous alleys in some
cities and towns, and scheme was
even preached to use them as baggage
hustlers for large convention.
This is not merely going too far. it
is travelling in the wrong direction.
To let Boy Scouts keep order at patri-
otto celebrations is appropriate and
wise. To have them bear their part
at any general cleanup is well enough,
though these spectacular scrubbing
bees seldom accomplish much for sani-
tation But to turn the lads into anna
