born in Palatine Bridge, Montgomery
county, New York. and after gradual

later going to work for the New York
Central railroad in Albany. He came
to Topeka in 1865. putting up at the
old Capitol hotel, III West Sixth
street. For eight years thereafter he
was bookkeeper and cashier for the
Daily Commonwealth. which. under F.
p. Baker, was the father of all Topeka
newspapers.
In 1876 he founded the Nell.s insur-
ance agency. In 1882 John d. McCune

such until 1896, when he went to Chit

No Resistance There.
1t is needless to stress the impor-
lance of immediate relief in great
quantities The famine follows from
two to four years of gradually failing
crops-a condition that has reduced
the resistance of the population to the
minimum. Gable and mail communi-
cations which reach US almost daily
tell of a situation that for sheer agony
of suffering is beyond belief. We are
told that pound of flour, which can
be put down in China for 6 cents, will
keep alive an average family for a
day; that So will save a life for a
month. But along with food, medicines
and medical attention also are needed
for famine fever and typhus have
made their appearance in hundreds of
communities.

beginning These 100000 people
must be kept alive at least until the
late SPRING We need all the help we
can possibly get if we are to do the
part of American Christianity.

AS you undoubtedly are aware, some
40,000,000 people in the five North
China provinces of Chilli, Shantung,
Shansi, Shensi and Honan are suffer
ing from what is probably the worst
famine in the history of the world. The
nearest approach to the present situa-
ton was the famine in China which
reached its crisis in 1878 and which
resulted in several million deaths.
All the agencies of international re-
lief in Picking are active. The United
States has agreed, contingent on agree
ment by other nations, to a temporary
increase of 10 per cent on customs
duties TO be applied thru the Chinese
government to relief measures. The
American Red Cross has given $780,
0OO-all it has to give. These various
efforts however, are but a drop in the
bucket of need and the government of
China, remembering the aid given by
American Christians to the Chinese
people in other times of trouble thru
the medium of the Christian Herald.
has urged us to collect what will be
our fourth China famine fund.
After consultation with the state de-
partment, the national headquarters of
the American Red Cross and the Chi
nese legation in Washington, We have

of doing entirely away with assemblies
due to the attitude of mind that some
of the pupils seem to take while en-

Some of the senior girls were at
first little peeved when they were

the gymnasium. but when it was ex-
planned to them that by doing so Jack

was to escort them to the dance

The city auditorium was we'll filled
by crowd of enthusiastic people who
rose rapidly to the spirit of the occa-
sion. The program was, strictly
speaking, too long. but we all remained
till the last blow was delivered by
ZanelH, a baritone in looks as well as
voice. He" as I heard some ladies
remark. 'is a really grown person."
He is and has a grown mans voice.
His voice carries very well but he uses
it too enthusiastically all thru. His
shading was rather inferior and he
seems to have no idea that fortissirnu
singing can be made to be grating
when a singer delivers it to the extent
of giving his hearers indigestion.
