mainder of the morning at the
temples of New Year, Patton,
Fashion and taking a bycicle
ride of eighteen miles to the
great wall.
In the afternoon we Joined our
sightseeing party and went out
to the Forbidden City. They
were 95 in the party, but we
were so out numbered by the
guards, that we did not have any
chance to get souvenirs from the
Forbidden City. In this place
are keep all of the things that at
one time belonged to the rulers
of China. There were vaces
valued at one million dollars,
saddles set with diamonds and
pearls, valued at five thousand
dollars, idols made of pure gold,
and many rare gold coins.
We went from the Forbidden
City to the Summer Palace.
There were many interesting
things there, one of them being
a marble boat. This boat is
is made like the old style side
wheel boat, with upper and low
er deck and cabin. We were told
that the boat would float some
day.
Fr-sh the Summer Palace we
went to the Coal Hill, which is
the oldest place there. One of the
interesting sights there was a
large wooden idol seven hundred
years old. Form here we went
to the home of the former EN-
pire, and then to a large temple
that can only be reached by a
tunnel that runs through a hill.
The guide with us did not want
us to make the trip through the
tunel, but we went just the same.
We found the temple full of all
kinds of idols and other things
too numerous to mention. We
saw three gold idols, one four
feet high and two three feet
high.
We left Pekin the following,
day going to Singwantau. This is
a pretty place and is settled with
Japs and Germans. We remain
ed here only a short time and
continued our. journey to Japan.
The Japs are farther advanced
than the Chinese, and remind Us

THE RED LIGHT FOR OUR
YOUNG MEN---SECOW
SAMUEL 1882.
Is the young man Absolon


won them from his father and
led them in battle against his
father. A little honor turned
his head. He became drunk on
power. He turned traitor and
outlaw. His fate is common to
all who disregard the laws of
God. This is a thrilling story,
full of warning to all young men.
1t is a red light on the rocky
cliffs at sea that shines afar to
voyagers.
|. The young man is not safe
who undervalues the body God
has given him. 1t is a sacred
trust. 1t is the most wonderful
mechanism in the world. I'VE
are fearfully and wonderfully
made "
No sane person would deliber-
ately amputate sound, healthy
arm, yet through exposure, care
lessness, indulgence in question:
able amusements, and wreckless-
mes. young men are undermining
their health and going to un-
timely graves. Can a man
take fire in his bosom and not be
burned2" Our President was
wise in delaying the conflict
with Huerta as long as possible
for the sake of the number of
fine young men we would lose.
David did not ask first, how
goes the battle? but is the Boy
safe?
II. Absolom did not properly
appreciate the high privilege
and opportunity of living and
serving where he could do &C.
ceptable work. He got greedy
and wanted the whole kingdom.
1t is better to be subjected in
the life of righteousness than
have the whole of Satan's king
dom, and the personal liberty"
it brings, and be in the wrong.
This liberty turnes to slavery.
Every young man should want
to make success of his life.
No young man is sefe who
does not appreciate the chance
life presents. A life what a
marvel! A life-what possibii-
ties! A life-what a chance!
A life what a trust! A life
what a responsibility!
Donald A. Smith was born of
lowly, poor parentage. He
started out as Office boy but ap-
piled himself diligently He
determined that no one else in
all the world should eyer do the
same work better than he. He
was consequently promoted
rapidly. Before he died ten
universities gave him degrees,
he had built the trans-continen-
tai railroad of Canada. and was
worth $1,000, 1000. He made a
success of life in a business
sense.
No young man is safe under
estimates the great powers and
passions of life. Self.infiicted
injury cuts deeper and is harder
to get over than injury inflicted
by others.
Conscience must be kept SEN
sitiye and pure. 1t is the moni-
tor and watchman on the wall
to warn and guard the welfare
of the life.
The will is the general of all
the powers and must have the
support and reinforcement of
the others. 1t NAV be strong or
weak.
No young man can be strong
in the years to come who allows
evil habits to take hold and
ravish his finer forces.
Temper is a splendid power

JACKSON COUNTY BOY HAS
EXCITING TRIP THROU
CHINA And JAPAN

at Ft. Hughs, Caballe, P. l.,
writes his father. A. ]. Pharris,
Gainesboro R-2. the following
interesting letter about his trip
to China and Japan.
We left the North Channel at
sunset on the U S. A. 7. Mer-
rett and was six days reaching
China. Chefu was our first stop.
We went on shore about eight
o'clock and were met by two
hundred Chinaman with their
Jinrikisha (the jinrikisha is a
two wheeled vehicle with springs
and hood. drawn by native, and
used by travelers) and we had a
had time getting loose from one
to get in with the other one, but
we all final got started. After
riding sometime we made our
first stop at the big temple, which
is located on a high elevation,
overlooking the city. Our guide
showed us over the temple. 1t
was a very strang looking place
and | didn't feel very good when
we first went in, there being so
many cells and trap doors. We
soon left the temple and continu-
ed our trip. We went out to the
great Chinese wall, but at this
place the wall is about loren
done.
After a visit to the great wall
we returned to our old sea wag-
on and continued on our journey.
Three days later we docked at
Tintcin. We remained their a
short time and then took the
train for Pekin. We were one
day making the trip and had a
lot of fun. We had special cars
at the head of the train, and our
commander being on the rear
coach give us a chance and be-
leive me we sure used it, We
did not have any small change in
money with us and their being
no money exchanged along the
road we we're up against a hard
proposition. but we got by all
right and got what we wanted.
We arrived in Pekin about eight
O'Clock that night and went to
the Marine Barrack, where we
eat supper. just what we were
all wanting. After supper we
called on the Major. After he
had given us some excellent ad-
vice, just as our fathers would
have done, we started out to see
what Pekin looked like at night.
My pail and | went to vaude-
vile show and it was very in.
teresting. but | could not stand
the racket. After the show we
went to a restaurant where we
ordered some chaw, which we
tried to eat with chop sticks, and
| think we carried the chop sticks
off with us. This was a fourth
class restaurant and having a de-
sire to see a first restaurant we
asked a Chinaman about one.
He told us it wasn't far and gett-
ing into his cart We rode until
four O'Clock in the morning but
did not find it. We then start
ed for the Marine barracks, ar.
irving there in time for break
fast. After breakfast we start
ed to see Pekin by daylight.
We first went to the Temple OF
Heaven. This temple is five
hundred years old and it looks
il too. This temple in where
the criminals are tried and ex'
ecuted. 1t happened that we
were Il ere to see this done, moi
that we wanted to see a man die,

mining camp, after meteoric career
and growth into a city, gradually is
resuming the status of Il town.
Situated on the bleak north coast of
the icy storm-swept Bcrlng sea, close
to the Arctic circle, Nome is frozen in
and showed in for about seven months
of the year. Its chief industry, placer
gold mining, depends upon the use of
running water, therefore the activi-
ties must stop when the water con-
geals. Rather than spend the long
winter in the extreme cold. waiting
for the return of mild weather,
large part of the population of Nome
has always returned to the States in
the fall. making the journey back to
the north in June, when navigation
opens.
