 The new rate of 6 1-2 per cent. will apply also to American bound vessels from the foreign ports mentioned.

Though a lawyer by profession,
John 0. Yciser is as cientist, theorist
and author by hobby. Mr.. Yeiser
knows Darwin and Huxley by heart
While here and there Bible students
have endeavored to dispute Darwin
and Huxley because they could not
make their theories conform to Bibli-
cal accounts of the origin OF things,
Mr.. Yeiser has attempted to harmon
ize the two. After making. an ex-
haustive study OF biological science,
he has written book entitled "Evo-
luton Proving Immortality" and he
supports his contention with some
plausible arguments. In this book OF
POS pages he got a chance TO unbur-
den from his chest some OF his scien-
tihc theories which have weighed
upon him for many years, and also he
got chance to show what he be-
l;e,es to be a relationship between
the process OF evolution as we see it
in the physical world, and the posi-
bility OF evolving from the physical
world into the spiritual as the next
great step or stage in soul existence.
This has furnished Mr.. Yeiser un-
limited satisfaction and pleasure in
his leisure hours. and he has won
favorable comment on the work from
.he press round and round the entire
world. Even the Chinese and Japa.
nesc newspapers, and papers printed
In almost every language, have re.

By A. EDWIN LONG.

In that historic little town, where
Sebastian Bach wrote rhapsodie.
with goose quill; in the little towr
ripped to pieces by Napoeon's can
non when the Cossacks were slashine
his TANKS; in the little town where
Martin Luther Germanized Holy
Writ and was jailed for his pains
and where he once hurled an ink
stand into the jaws OF the devil; in
that little town of Eisenach there
occurred yet another event not re-
corded in the most authentic school
histories.
For there, just few city blocks
from where Luther's Satanic ink spot
still glowers from the wall was born
in 1866 a baby boy, William
Schneider.
Billy" was regular kid.
He would stroll out to Sebastian
Bach's birthplace, look long and hard
at the tumble-down house and vow he
must become a great musician.
Then he would scamper barefooted
to the parks, where the great steel
shells and broken cannon in rusty
piles told of the stirring days when
Napoleon battered the town about the
ears of "Billy's" forefathers.
All, soldier must Billy" be, then,
for nothing would do but he must
clank a sword at his side some day
and shout orders to the gunners.
Again he would contemplate the
ink spot, wrathfully splattered on the
wall, and he would wonder how
Luther could get so much excited
about mere devil. Devils had few
terrors for BILLY" Schneider.
No, he passed Luther up in his
succession of hero worshipings.
Also for time he dropped Sc
bastian Bach from his list of great
ones. But he chung to Napoleon. A
soldier, ah, military man he would
be. So he made wooden swords,
drilled his mothers geese around the
back yard and bombarded the barn
with foul and highly-explosive eggs.
Whitsuntide was always great
holiday in Eisenach. The young boys
Hdu DdHu lHdt SeTendQeQ people
on that day, and BILLY" Schneider,
little but mighty, blew one of the
biggest horns. 1t was great day
for sports also, and BILLY" leaped
headlong into every form of excite
ment. That is why he got his Shout
der broken one Whitsuntide in a
wrestling match. That is why he got
his arm broken just a year later in
celebrating the same holiday. That
is why he broke his finger in an.
other wrestling match again a yea,
later on Whitsuntide. And that j.
why the fourth year his father tiet
him up at home and wouldn't let him
get out to celebrate with the boys.
Even when young Schneider wa:
studying philosophy in seminary hi
was dreaming of the days when hi
would be leading a bayonet charge.
About that time friend returned
from England, where he had beer
studying in the universities. Thu
friend had evidently been reading
