COLONY OF LEPERS EXTER- :.
MINATED BY CHINESE SOLDIERS
fBy AssocIated Press. }

Canton, China, July 22.-Julius
A. Kempf, a member Of the American
Reformed Presbyterian Church Mis-
sion at TAX Hing. on the West river
in Shantung Province, has advised
the American consulate here of the
complete determination of a leper
colony near that mission by recent
revolutionary soldiers, and sought
the assistance of the consul in pre-
venting recurrence Of such bar
barity.
The leper colony consisted of thir-
teen unfortunates who made their
home on houseboat on the West
river near temple in which the
soldiers were quartered. without
warning the soldiers fired upon the
houseboat, killing ten of the lepers.
Two members of the colony jumped
into the river and started for the
opposite shore, but it is not known
whether they escaped death. One le-
per escaped into the hills. The SOL
diers then burned the houseboat.
Mr.. Kempf and his associates had
been assisting the leper colony for
some time, supplying the sufferers
with food and endeavoring to better
their condition.
It is not uncommon for leper col
onies to be exterminated in China
either by the military or civilians
who resent having the unfortunatef
near them. In many cases the lepert
lprovoke the attacks by begging In
sistently and threatening to touch
persons who refuse to give then
aims.

False Eyes For Animate.

Among the most difficult things
taxidermists have to do is making
glass eyes for the animals they
mount. These eyes are made Of
glass, hollow within and open at the
back 80 that the inner surface may
be painted any color. No two ami
mails eyes are alike, and it requires
. great deal Of skill and practice
before a man is competent to paint
the eyes quickly. A lions eye, for
example, is large and brownish
black, while the iris is chrome yell
low, but streaked in such q peculiar
fashion that it is an extremely diff
cult thing to initiate it we'll. The
eye Of a giraffe is still more difficult,
as that animal has q brownish black
eye with a peculiar purplish sheen,
very hard to initiate.

Ragtime music's pretty
When a fellow plays it right,

To a ragtime tune, all night.

That comes with a rag" is great.

A person tries them maybe once,
And then he gets the bug.
The world has grown right dippy
With the lively raggy tone,

from Mrs. Jordan, who was not pres ent. and sent a message of the same spirit in return. A vote of thanks was rendered Mrs. ]. I. Norris for the verses written ny her in honor of Prof. Jordan and his boys, and a vote of thanks and appreciation was rendered Waiter \. Trulock.
 Judge w. D. Jones was elected president and Dan Taylor secretary of the organization for the ensuing year, and it was decided that at the future Danquets of the organization printed programs be prepared and that each cf the speakers have his remarks in writing, that they may be printed.
 Decorations Simple.
 When the "boys' arrived at the hotel, Prof. Jordan held an informal levee, and at S:45 the entire party ascended to the bali con- which had been transformed into a dining hall for the occasion. The decorative scheme was simple, the silver, white napery and masses of potted ferns and palms providing picture of simple elegance.
 The atable was arranged in the shape of the letter "E' Dr. Jordan occupy ing the chair at the center of the backbone of the letter, where the cen tral fork projects. Thus all the boys" either faced him, or sat along the same side of the table occupied by him.
 The Meru. The following is a copy of the menu which was deliciously prepared and served in the Hotel Pines excellent fashion:

The second annual banquet of the
 Jordan academy boys" was held last night at the Hotel Pines, and Prof.
 Junius Jordan, Pine Bluffs supern- tendent of schools, beloved by his fel- low citizens and by the thousands of children who have been educated
 under him, was the guest of honor of more than half hundred of the city's leading men who, as boys, were his pupils.
 A touch of sadness was added to a happy occasion, because of the absence of three of the boys who were pres ent at last years tributeto Prof Jor- dan, but who have gone into the Great Beyond since that time-FeiX Smart, Clifton Howell and Virginius D. Will kins. Resolutions expressing the sOr- row of the boys in thedeaths, were ordered drafted by the officers Of the organization.
 Circuit Judge Walter B. Sorrells was toastmaster, and he presided over the which he presides over the business of his courtroom. Talks were made by Drew White, Dan Taylor, Judge W. D. Jones, Judge E. !. Kerwin, Leo NJ. Andrews, J. B. Talbot. Mayor Simon
 Bloom, Thurman Louthan. F. o. Nc Gehee. Frank Stewart, Walter N. Tru- lock, Edgar Brewster, will Nichol, John w. Reap, Harvey Hudson and Sennett SeabroOk
 Prof. Jordan himself was considered the principal speaker by his boys. He was unable almost to find the words with which to express his thoughts and feelings, and so, saying at the same time that he usually is able to express himself well. Prof. Jordan said he appreciated to it's full extent the great tribute of love and sympathy paid him by his boys, and that he is 1 the youngest teacher in the entire United States who has been sigslally hOnored. 1 He remarked that some time ago | he was in Little Rock, and three men. l two of them wealthy, were discussing prominent men of the state. One of 1 the men remarked that he would | rather be in Prof. JOrdan's position, surrounded by the thousands of stu l dents who love him, than be governor
 of the state. He thanked his boys for i bestowing flowers upon him while he ! is yet alive, and. told them that such 7, tribute as they paid him was making : him young again.
 The boys received a loving message

JORDAN AND HIS BOYS"
A Trib ute by Mrs. Ernestine B. Norris.

The grandcs heroes who have walked the Earth
 Were seldom men of great ancestral name; But love-filled souls whose intrinsic worth
 Has for them their heritage of Fame. The qualities which sway the public c-nnd
 Are neither brain braWn, poisC But just that something-subte, undefned--
 Which holds together Jordan and his Boys" We owe him much: to that we're all agreed,
 Of knowledge conned from books: but vastly more; To scorn all selfish aims, each out-groWn creed,
 To honor men, perhaps nNsprzed before. What paths to choose, what With danger fraugh What things, real, and what but 2ilded toys; Pray, who can tell what legaces of thought Have from 'Dr. Jordan his Boys?" His force is felt in every city school
 Whose tuTrets, and more point the skies; And one but rash-self-centered foo
 His power, or his potency, denies He's growing old, and we, too it appears
 But tho this thought peace of mind destroys, Let's all grasp hands across these fruitful years
 And offer thanks for Jordan and his Boys. And when sometime, our lessons here done
 And we have laid aside books and slacs When school lets out and go home-each one. Dear Heavenly Father open wide the gates Of that celestial city, bright and fair Unworthy tho of all it's joys)
 For dear old "Dr Jordan and his Boys.
