fusion. This IS continued for five days
and nights with only short intervals of
rest. Five, seven, ten days and the plays
are repeated to the amusement of the
city's e1uca cd and bigoted classes who
disdain all that is called western civiliza-
ton. Hundreds of visitors from nearby
towns are in the city. The whole coun-
tryside is in town. Surely their idols will
have respect to this great demonstration
of their loyalty.

The only sensible way out of the

THE HEATHEN'S PRAYER
by F. G. Carter, Wanchih, via Wuhu,
Cbina)

Az
AS sit writing, my ears are filled with
the noises Of the tOm-tom, exploding fire
crackers, cries, shouts and weird sounds.
What does all this mean? From whence
cOmeth this din?
For more tha0 six months very little
if any rain has fallen. China is on the
verge of a most serious famine. The
farmers anxiety incI cases daily. He has
burned incense and made his prayers to
the God of Agriculture. but in vain.
Clouds have come and gone. The ca
mails and ponds are dry; the fields are
parchr led; rice planting season is now past
by ten or more days. The country dis
tricts are full of alarm.
The merchant is less quick to take in
the true situation. Not until the farmer
ceases to visit the city for his reguL ar
purchases does he awake from his SUM
Der and Indifference to the latter'S tale of
woe. The city board of trade calls a
meeting. Serious drought is reported.
Price on rice is advanced. The peace
loving citizen is alarmed as he finds it
most difficult to feed his family of five,
seven or ten mouths, as the case may be.
Anxiety develops into real excitement.
The local official is informed that the
board of trade has advanced the selling
price of rice. Investigation is made. He
discovers that his district is seriously en-
dangered by continued drought. Some
thing must be done. What?
Throughout the city large yellow pos
tiers decorate walls and billboardS. Groups
OF men are here and there. Some are
talking at random; others less excitable
are so0erly facing the situation. What is

SAMMIE AND 'TEDDIES."

The American soldiers in France
are being royalty welcomed and en-
tertained by the patriotic French
people. They have been dubbed
Sammies" and "Teddies. !" While
the latter is more easily pronounced
by the French, still "Sammie" is
more significant from a national
standpoint and it is quite likely
"Sammie' will be the name given
the Americans throughout the war.

Those l. w. VS., the Suffragists
and such other human cattle that

The devil in general. The sooner the
