neighboring mission station, where
one single lady missionary is in charge
came to that place, as these soldiers
were ordered to proceed to another
province, they wasted to provide them
selves with mules or horses to ride
on, and wherever they could find 4
good horse or mule they helped them
selves, As no one dared to refuse to
let them take what they wanted. As
RUE they do not attempt to take
anything belonging to foreigners, but
this time one of them had found his
way over the wall into the backyard
Of the mission station. There our
lady missionary noticed him and went
there to see what he was doing or
what he wanted. He said he wanted
the mule that was tied there and
praised the animal As . good one,
but Miss Anderson, the missionary,
said it belonged to her and he could
not have it. Sure he was to have
it he said if he only could get the
back door open to get it out. Il will
open the door for you," said Miss
Anderson, but you can not have the
mule" She opened the door and the
man went outside to look around first
without taking the mule, and Miss
Anderson stepped into the space of
the opened door. When he turned
around and saw her there he demand
ed of her to deliver to him the mule.
Indeed not, was her answer, SO he
pointed his rifle at her and made aim
to fire. She was near enough to
grasp the barrel Of his gun and had
almost wrested it out Of his hands
when he began to ask her kindly to
let go, promising not to shoot at
her. Well she said Il will let 20,
but be sure l am going to report you
to your superior, for you have no
right to attack a foreigner" and be-
fore he had time to answer, she let
90 the gun and closed the door, leaving
him outside. When he saw that the
door was shut, he made severe at

sion is obtained.
The restriction on wage increases
was lookGl upon with special, interest
by members of congress, railroad Off.
Gals and union leaders in view of the
recent demands of the more than TIVE
million railroad workers for an ad.
vance in pay.
President Wilson in supporting the
contention that no increases could be
granted on the eve of return of the
railroads told the union leaders that
their demands would be considered
by commission to be created by law
If such a provision was included in the
railroad Dill or toNbe appointed on his
own initiative If no legal provision
were made.
In the belief that wage commits
sion would be empowered to take UP
their demands the II railroad union
heads have called a conference to be
held beginning Monday to discuss the
policy to be adopted in dealing with
such a commission. To ascertain il
the railroad executives would agree
to turning over the wage controversy
to such commission Director Cen

Use OF External Treatment for Colds

North Carolina druggist who found
how to combine in Salve form, the

liberated in the form of yapors.
Vicks is particularly recommendedl
