 nor the missionary, nor yet the official, unless all three work in perfect harmony.
 '"The settler has to deal with the material side of things and the mis- sionary's is primarily a moral task. But the settlers must not lose sight of the moral in the material; nor rmust the missionary ever forget the material side in his striving for morality.
 Naturally, I have peculiar feel ing for you settlers, who are work ing in this new country; forsyou re- mind me all the time of my own people in the western states of America--a people with whom I have worked and enjoyed life. And just as we in our own country, knew no difference between east erner, westerner, northerner and southcrner, and pay no heed to a mans creed or his birthplace, so l hope you here, who are performing the great task of conquerpg for civilization this new, country, will frown on every effort to keep alive or arouse any spirit of unworthy jealousy, whether based on creed or national origin, or anything else.
 T believe, with all my heart, that large parts of East Africa form a white mans country, and every effort should be made to build up a prosperous and numerous popula, ton. But, because of this belief, ask all settlers to cooperate with the missionaries, to help in treating the black man justly and in work. ing to put him on a higher level.
 T do not believe that, in the long run or from the standpoint of per, manency, any real good can come tc an individual race striving to tram pie down someone else. The indi vidual who rises highest is he wht helps others to rise-and the same I believe of the race.
 T particularly appreciate wha you people of this interdenomina tional industrial mission are doing because you strive to teach tn, African to help himself by givint him the simple industrial training which is the prerequisite to an. movement for his permanent eleva ton.
 Tt seems to me you are doinj your work in spirit of wholly dis interested devotion to an ideal. an, yet with a. most practical endeavo to adopt the means that will reall do good since your ideal is base, very wisely upon the observation o facts"
 I discussed this speech with man of the missionaries and settlers wh were present, and found that the were all quite unanimous in thei delight at his encouragement o !, their work: and all of them ap peared to be considerably impresse by the grasp Colonel Roosevelt ha :, acquired on the conditions and need

 Then we tried going out for our dinners but after reaching home we found usually we were too tired to do this. In a little while I was eat ing my paper bag dinner in solitary state and usually adding 10 it the salt of my tears, while Sam, on 8 plea of business, stayed down town until eight o'clock or after, and he usually came home with a liquor laden breath.
 Of course this will never happen to you, Bee, ensconccd in your beau- tiful hilltop home with nothing to do except engage in the delightful time of spending five thousand dollars for beautiful things to make your home more beautiful.
 Yes, I know, dear Bee, what ] have just written sounds enyious kl catty, but you know l always was catty and frequently envious.
 l want you to know, however. that 1 I would not take from you one of your blessings. You deserve. every | thing good that can be given to you. 1 and I would have you keep them all your life. I'm just trying to tell you that in whatever environment one Is ! placed, after a time 1t looks to me as though the secret orchard of some body else which lies just beyond al- ways intrigues ones fancy. That secret orchard usually bears gnarled and bitter fruit, but while we are outside Of it, the peaches and apples and pears seem luscious.

 You ask me to tell you about Les lie, ] know really nothing, eXcep that she is staying at her father home where he is, as you know, quit ill, He is getting better, however,
 l am sure that MT. Prescott anl Leslie have had some sort of a guar rel, for no letters have come to th office for MT. Prescott with he handwriting upon them since sh has been away. During the last week however, he received a telegram from Mrs. Hamilton telling him hi father-in-law wanted to see him, an to come and bring the baby.

GERMANY. TO DELAY
Declaration Repudiating the Guilty For World War Not to Be Made At the Present Time.


 By The Associated Press.
 Berlin, Sept. IT. = Declarations from a source considered close to Chancellor Marx indicated that the contemplated formal repudiation of Germany's war guilt Is to be de- ferred indefinitely.
 The clerical paper Germania said today:
 Tt is becoming increasingly ap- parent that formal notification of the declaration repudiating Ger many's war guilt would have ag- gravated unnecessarily the political situation without carrying the ques- ton any further. Therefore the formal notification will not occur for the present. ''The agreement of views men. tioned in the official communique on the subject refers to such 6 contingency. It may be taken fol granted that the cabinet will decide on these lines at its meeting Thurs 1 day, when the question of war gull will be shelved for the present, un til propitious moment arrives fol it to be taken up again"
 The Germania usually reflects tn, views of Chancellor Marx.

 Yes, l did know l remembered that beneath my brother-cousin's s sterling virtues and kindIiness lay a will of iron l also remembered, glad that Katherine could not see the flush of embarrassment on my face, that often in the hectic days since my marriage. had contrasted that tirmness with DiCky's volatile instability and had allowed my imagination to finger over what might have happened had Jack come back from South America be- fore I met Dicky, instead of re- turning after my marriage.
 I never had dreamed that he thought of me in other than big brotherlY way, and when, upon his return, before l had had time to ! tell him of my marriage, he told me of his love for me, had grieved for him sincerely. I had rejoiced as truly later, when tr war-torn France, where he had gone immediately, Jack had met winsome Katherine Sonnot and realized that his affection for me was nothing beside the overwhelm ! ing love which swept her into hi! life for always. But my rejoicing had not always kept me from tha romantic coniecturing over wha might have been."

They were par tlcularly anxious to obtain some groups of the long haired, black and-whita Colobus monkey, numer- ous about this part Of Africa.
 Shortly after their departure, the Tcv. Charles F. Hurlburt rode into the camp to escort Colonel Roose- welt out to the African inland mis- sion, of which he was director, | had been invited to accompany them, and so we all three presently rode there through a fine forest road.

When they had finished eating their pan cakes and maple syrup, Raggedy Ann brought pan of water and a towel and washed ,the maple syrup from around Rag gedy Andy's and Walters mouths, on the outside than they do upon the inside, And anyway" Raggedy Ann said, If l do not wash your faces, I am sure that you will just wipe your faces on the towel, and forget to wash at all"
 Raggedy Andy and Walter both laughed at this. for they knew that little boys usually do that way, and it doesn't make any difference how nice and clean the towel may be either.
 Now, Walter" Raggedy Ann said when the little boys face was nice and clean, tell us where your mama and daddy are! And tell Us why MT, and Mrs. Sanky come here and try to drag you away"
 "Ha I'll tell you myself" Mir. Sanky cried as he poked his head in- ] side one of the broken windows.
 "I did not ask you, Mir. Sanky!" Raggedy Ann replied. "I am sure you would not get it very straight, ! tor anyone who mistreats a nice lit- tie boy as you mistreated Walter, would never tell the truth"
 So, when MT. Sanky sneaked away, Walter said. T do, not know where my mama and daddy are, but I be- lieve MT. and Mrs. Sanky had some thing to do with the going away My mama and daddy were very good to me and am sure, they would mol have left me here alone if the, could have helped it"
 We are certain of that" Rag gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy agreed
 "You seel" Walter continued One night after I had gone to bed I heard voices outside the front dool and then when daddy went outside , l heard lot of scuffling and then heard my mama go outside ant there was more scuffling and pres } ently I heard a wagon going away ] and when I jumped from bed an' ran to the door, mama and dadd. were gone and have never returnsd!' , How sad!"

What Katherine Tried to Make
 Madge Promise

katherine's arm frightened about me as l made my bitter little re- tort concerning Dicky's share with others the royal tenderness upon which she had commented so en- Niously when revealing to me for my healing the jcalousIy-guarded secret of her own marital unhappl- ness.
 q am not so sure about that" yhe said calmly.
 I could not sec her face, for in my hcadlont rush into the room ptter my stormy interview with picky over Mollio Fawcctt. l had not stopped 10 switch on the light, and Katherine had held me close In her arms ever since, but her voice was so filled with conviction that l felt the rigid bands around my heart give ever so slightly.
 There is some explanation, I am sure for Dickys latest interest" she went on, although admit appear ences are all against him, and no matter what the final elucidation may be, he has no right to shut you away from his confidence. But even if the explanation be a tenn porary infatuation for Mollie Faw- cett's beauty, you know Diclly well enough to realize that there never is any real dsloyalty to you in his Peter Pan strayings. And most of the time he does love you so gorge ously. You don't know what it is to be starved-for love And then Oh! Madge!" tho words were freighted with unutterable bitter ness-"you have your child"
 q Thought It Might Help.'
 Swiftly my memory went back tc the night when Katherine had shared my watch above Junior, il with croup. Believing me asleep had seen her bend over my baby boys crib yearningly, and heard her voice so heavy with anguish that I could not forget if, in the woefuI wall, "oh! God! my empt! arms"
 But surely, Katherine" I stam mered. Jack cares for you. Why he was wild about you!"
 "oh, yes, he cares, I suppose, she said listlessly but, in thi queer state of mind of his, he ha taken almost a morbid aversion t children. He says that he neve wants one of his own, and even i he did, I would not bring a chiI' into the world to be cowed by hi black gloomy moods, But, oh Madge, never should have toll you this. I feel as if l were guilt of treason against my poor boy who I am sure is only suffering fo what the war did to him. But thought 1t might help you some how"
 Tt has, I said promptly, feelin that there was at least soupco of truth in the glib retort, althoue my rancor toward DiCky was nc materially lessened because tn things he had said in his ange were too fresh in my memor, But, Katherine, dearest" thcr

FABLES ON HEALTH
CARE OF THE FEET

As most people know, but give little attention, the type of shoes worn and the fit of them are all im- portant factors in the comfort and health of the feet.
 Children between the ages of g and 14 should be watched closely and care taken in fitting, them to shoes. This is the period of great est growth and the question of foot expansion should not be forgotten.
 Around the age of 13 children-- girls in particuar-are likely to be- gin to get fussy about styles in shoes, and from IA to 21 is a period when this style idea gets most firm ly implanted.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

Colonel Roosevelt, Kermit, Loring and Heller had ridden on the cow catcher seat over tho engine Roosevelt's favorite seat when travelling on the Uganda railway in the hours of daylight-as far as Kikuyu, the next halt after Nairobi.
 You and Dawson come and ride with me between ,Kikuyu and Limo- ru," Colonel Roosevelt had said to me at this first halt. while the en- zine took in water.
 And We joyfully replaced Heller and Loring beside him on the cow catcher. We were in enthusiastic company. for Colonel Roosevelt was simply bubblng over with excite mont-first at the magnificent views, and then at the wild birds, mon keys and forests through which we passed. He was a wonderful fund of knowledge; and absolutely noth- ing escaped his attention.
 We had travelled from Kikuyu, when a startled exclamation from him drew my eyes to the track ahead of us, A hyena slunk across the track just in front of our train and we all held our breath for il seemed impossible that it should escape instant destruction.
 By gosh!" laughed Roosevelt eleefully. That was marrow shave. That hyena only just saved his skin. Another second later and it would have gotten under the wheels of the engine"
 At o'clock in the afternoon we reached our destination, Kijabe Within a quarter of a mile of the railroad depot had been erected the huge tent town that was to form the Roosevelt Nmp for the next two days. It faced toward the glorious and rugged scenery of the famous Rift Valley, and the site was per feet. Over Colonel Roosevelt | tent, in the foreground of the camp

!. In old age good shoe fit is even more important. The foot having attained it's complete maturity is very sensitive to changes in organic life and the freest foot action should be allowed.
 Shoe filters and shoe salesmen should be acquainted with the struc- tue of the human foot and its va rious pcCuiarties.

But it was very fine magic one and they knew they could drink leventeen sodas before they stopped.
