Gosh what a memory you have for

the Old Timer. "Old jokes and every

old friends, old wine, and so on"
"Old ones best?" inquired the Kid,
looking meaningly at the score sheet
well, every rule has it's exception and
that certainly doesn't apply to old
bowlers-not this evening"
Like Mince Pie--or Cucumber!
Don't let that lead of yours upset

plenty good enough to lick you. With

District League man, and | bowied
four games over 100, with high count

Afternoon? That explains it," said
the Kid. Business was DUH and the
pin boy amused himself by punching

merely a chance for you to commit

The result of the Mithras. Golden

RICHEST MAN ON EARTH

Two nationally famous dancers
who recently visited India have as
sured their American friends that
neither Henry Ford, Andrew Mellon
nor John D. Rockefeller is the rich
est man in the world, but that the
golden title belongs to the Nizam of
Hyderabad in Iar-off realms of the
Orient They say his pearls are
unnumbered, like the sands of the
nara, and his realms extend over
an area greater than Texas.
Dancers are probably influenced
more by the shimmering pearls of
small rulers of the Orient than by
dramatic industrial power of Ameri-
can princes of progress for an ex-
animation of the facts indicate that
the Nizam was not long since broke
and is no great hoarder of gold dust
yet.
The Nizam is administrator of
the largest state in India, which has
only a fraction of the total area of
Texas, comprised of good, bad and
useless lands at that. In 1902 his
finances were IN such state that a
British financial agent was sent to
his rescue. His gross revenue now
is not large. wnen compared to the
wealth of capitalists and industrial
kings of America.

CHRISTIANITY in CHINA

Within the last few months the
cause of Christianity IN China has
suffered severe setback in it's COM
paratively brief history. Eighty per
cent or more of the foreign mis-
sionaries nave left the country and
practically all have been forced to
desert their posts and flee. Missions
and schools had been burned and
plundered. 1t appears to many, in
Guiding the missionaries themselves,
that their lifetime work and that of
their predecessors has been in vain.
Some of the members of churches,
who have been contributing their
bit towards the advancement of
Christianity in China, feel the same
This is not necessarily so. There is
another angle from which the situa-
ton may be considered. China is
the most difficult field in the world
for missionary work. To prevail
upon a Chinaman to change his faith
and discard his ancient beliefs is
difficult and as often as not incites
his animosity toward his would-be
converter. Why not save human
life, and much money which could
be put to much better use by keep
ing missionaries out of that country
or any other hostile country. What
would happen to the Chinaman if
he was to come to this country and
try to convert US to his beliefs?
