GEN. FENG Of CHINA
SECOND CROMWELL
Devoted to Christian Ideals
and Shares Hard Life
With His Men.
DEMOCRATIC IN HABITS
Rides to Reception on Bicycle,
Aids Unemployed, Warns
Drones of Deportation.

NEW YORK. July 2S.-A personal
picture of Gen. Feng Yuh-siang.
known as the Christian general in
the forces of Wu Pei-Fu. is contained
in letter from Bishop F. R. Graves
of Shanghai, which has been received
here by Protestant Episcopal leaders.
Bishop Graves is said to have known
Gen. Feng for a number of years.
"Feng has been elevated to the gov
ernorShip of Honan province" writes
Bishop Graves, "and it is character
iStic of him that when he attended
big reception recently in his honor
he rode to the Y. NJ. C. A. hall on a
bicycle with a few unarmed attend
ants, instead of being surrounded by
the customary mounted cavalcade.
His first Sunday as governor found
Gen. Feng attending joint service
of all the Christian denominations in
kaifeng, at the Shend Kung Hui. or
Episcopal church. Here the Christian
general preached a sermon from the
text: To him that knoweth to do
good and doeth it not, to him 1t is
sin.
He appropriated out of his private
funds a sum sufficient to care for the
beggarS who infested the city until
employment could be obtained for
them, at the same time announcing
that those who wouldn't work for a
living must leave Honan."
Feng, according to Episcopal mis-
sionarieS, became a convert TO Chris
tianity eleven years ago, when, at
tackled by a disease which native ply
sicians declared incurable. he was re-
stored to health by the ministrations
of a Christian medical missionary.
Thousands of his soldiers have en-
braced the religious faith of their
leader. and victory on the field is
frequently followed by a service of
Thanksgiving of a Christian character,
which is led ~ Gen. Feng himself,
it is reported.
Gen. Feng is somewhat of a Crom-
well in his religious IDEAS Bishop
Graves said, but there is no question
at all of his sincerity. He shares
hard conditions with his men,"

We should be reluctant to admit
that Argentina grows corn superior to
ours, but the French and Belgians like
it better, importing it from that source
by preference, Notwithstanding the
fact that they have to pay a consider
ably higher price for it. In France
and Belgium corn finds little favor as
human food, but is used for stock to
a large extent, says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. Argentine corn is pre-
ferred because the grain is smaller
and, therefore, better adapted for poul-
try feed than American corn, which
must be cracked. It is claimed that
the Argentine corn is sweeter, and on
that account preferable for horses;
and furthermore, that it keeps longer
because 1t contains three to four per
cent less moisture.

get it, he turns to the phone, which is
primarily time saver He is a lux

BELLE

p ELLIE is one Of the many feminine
49, names which began existence as
a contraction and gained sturdy indie
pendence until it became a recognized
appellative and is bestowed without
reference to it's prefix.
Since Belle signifies "oath of Baal,"
1t is easily discernible that it is an
offspring Of Isabelle. In the days
when Elizabeth Of Hainault married
Philippe Auguste and suffered her
name to be changed to Isabelle by the
French, it is hardly likely that Belle
was used, either as an endearment or
a diminutive. But Isabelle became
very popular in royal circles and the
betrothed of Hughes de Lusignan, who
later married King John, brought Isa-
belle to England.
It was there that Belle came into
existence and into consequent vogue
Of all the contractions Of Isabelle
Of which Nib, Ibbot and Ib are few
examples-Belle proved the most pop
ular and lasting.
Belle is a popular form in this coun-
try and is bestowed without reference
to Isabelle. France recognizes no
such contraction, but Spain has an
equivalent Bella.
The opal is the gem assigned to
Belle. It will prove a talisman
against evil, danger, and disease when
worn by her. The evil designs of the
pixie, which superstition claims is i'm
prisoned in the stone, will be power.
less against her. To dream of an Opal
means success. Friday is Bellies

The chrysanthemum is her lucky

VI UST BE A MAN
IF A MAN would be happy he mus

IF A MAN would be happy he must
n be a Man.
Try as one may, real enjoyment
cannot be gotten out Of life if one
follows q wrong pathway.
If man would be satisfied With
himself, he must have the proper
viewpoint of what he should be. Adj
hitting this, let us consider the opin-
ion Of D. J. Burrell as to what makes
a man a Man.
'Not what a man has or what hap
pens to him; not wealth, nor noble
blood, nor crowns" says Burrell, but
the things that are in him and Shin
ing through hin-his thoughts, mo-
tives, springs Of action; those consti-
tute the man."
Too few have this honest estimate
in mind when they measure their own
right TO {, place under the sun and
their own right to comfort and hap
piness. Unfortunately humans are
inclined to spend much more time
thinking of what they would like to
have than in thinking what they are
or what they would like to be.
MISREPRESENTATION is the first law
of Nature,' it is true. But too often
we find evidence that men and women
place seltishness ahead of everything
else. They do not understand that
there is a wide difference between
self-preservation and selfshness. If
they do understand they ignore the
fact, for constantly, though earnestly
seeking happy lives, we find them
seeking worldly possessions, worldly
pleasures-most of which are of the
shallowest sort.
When one faces a hard-boiled bur
glar in the darkness of the night, he
rightly protects himself by whatever
means he finds at his disposal, That's
case Of self-preservation, for the
second-story men are usually ready to
kill rather than be caught. But in the
regular pathways of life no one can
justify any action which is unfair to
his fellowmen in order to gain some
thing for himself. When man stoops
to underhand, dishonest methods
whether they be in buying or selling
either labor or goods, he is certain
sooner or later. to los. respect for
himself
No man can be happy in his OWL
position, however exalted, if he knows
that his thoughts, his actions and his
heart are conferred On what he hopes
to get, rather than On what he hopes
to do. r
