Chinese wall was protection to Chris
tian missionaries, who hid in its re
cesses as the early Christians of Rome
hid in the catacombs from the pagan
leaders. With these missionaries
many native Christians took refuge.
The story of their ,hardships shows
that heroism is as strong in the hui
man heart today as it was in the days
of the Roman prosecutions. Many
were found by the Boxers. To the
white missionaries death was the only
end. To the Chinese there was a
chance for life if they would renounce
Christianity and accept any of the
Chinese beliefs.
Reports say many of the Chinese
converts renounced the God. of the
foreign devils and accepted the gods
Of the Chinese, but there were many
who refused to renounce their God
and their heads were stricken off.
First the white Christians were
killed. Then the yellow Christians
were compelled under torture to drink
the blood of their white leaders be-
fore they died.
The Chinese wall is a fitting en-
blem of the endurance of the Chi
nese nation. Built of the finest build
ing stone in the world 1t has endured
through IL centuries as a mockery
to the seven wonders of the world
enumerated by the Greeks. The Chi
nese wall was unknown to the Greeks
or 1t certainly would have been In
Guided in the list of wonders. 1t was
more wonderful than them all. Fur
thermore, it was built for the service
of man, whereas the pyramids, the
hanging gardens of Babylon and other
wonders were built for the vanity of
man.
The Chinese wall has done much to
keep back the advance of civilization
in China Since its construction the
nation has advanced little in the arts
and sciences. Only in the last ten
years have the young Chinese admit
ted western civilization. The Chinese
are a scholarly people, but their edu-
cation is limited to the study of the
GtdSSlES. 1uEy arc DNN
their philosophy runs in grooves.
They invented gunpowder, but did not
develop it.
The Chinese would point to the wall
of China and say that they should not
20 beyond its bounds. They were
bounded on the north by the Great
Wall, on the east by the sea of the
rising sun, on the south by the land
of tropical diseases and on the west
by the great interior plateau. The
first Chinese to leave their native
land were not allowed TO return. I'm
til the last decade a Chinaman who
cut off his braid OF hair was ostra-
ciZed.
The Chinese are adopts at cruelty.
They have severe punishments. but
they cannot be said to be bloody.
Few Chinese go armed and murders
are rare. They have had fewer
wars than any other country on earth;
until the Chinese-Japanese war they
had been at peace since the inva-
sion of the Manchus.

BILIOUS, HEADACHE,
SICK 'CASCARETS'
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 1o-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi.
ness, coated tongue. foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food In the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the In
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con.
gestion and that dull. throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons In the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.

NOT TO BE CAUGHT MAPPING
Uncle lobe Lived Up to His RepAta-
tlon and the Doctor Lost
His Bet.

There lives in certain Vermont
town a quaint old character known
as Uncle Tobe," who is so con-
sentative of action and speech that it
is most difficult at times to get any
thing definite from him Uncle lobe,
like the Father of His Country, has the
reputation of never having told lie,
and in addition he is so cautious of
statement that he has never been
known to tell an innocent untruth
On one occasion his doctor, in con-
versation with friends touching Uncle
Tobe's characteristics, ventured to lay
bet of five dollars that he could cause
Uncle lobe to tell what wasn't So A
neighbor promptly took the bet.
The doctor walked into Uncle Tobe's
house next morning, and while he was
talking with the old man, the neighbor
who had taken the bet drove up to the
gate. Uncle lobe went to see what he
wanted, and then the doctor, as he had
agreed to do, went out the back door
and hid in the barn
Good morning, Tobe," said the Wis
itor, lis the doctor in your house,"
He was there when l came out"
said Uncle lobe.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray Try It'll No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as It does It so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP
plication or two. your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy
