In tbe winter, when the rough, ungraded roads are frozen hard and smooth, the natives haul wheat for 200 miles, in some cases by means of a heavy, two wheeled cart drawn by four to eight mules. Long trains of these carta, traveling together for protection and companionship at night, can be seen on the main highways all winter and are the most picturesque feature of JIanchurian life.

Four branches of the church are holding their conferences in Atlanta, Ga, Dr. John Timothy Stone, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian church of Chicago, was elected moderator of the Northern Presbyterian assembly to succeed Dr. .Mark A. .Matthews of Seattle, Wash. Dr. J. Sprole Lyons of Louisville was elected moderator of the Southern Presbyterian assembly to succeed Dr. T. S. Clyce of Sherman, Tex. Dr. Lyons' election came on the fourth ballot, with 109 votes. Rev. Dr. R. M. Kussell, president of Westminster college, was the ouly nominee for the office of moderator of the United Presbyterian assembly. Without a dissenting vsice he was elected and conducted to the chair. "The churches are derelict In their duties in respect to the divorce evil. The ministers are not keeping them selves Informed of the alarming situ ation except In a general and casual way." These were important con clusions in the reiwrt of the special committee on Christian life and work which was submitted to the Northern Presbyterian assembly and It was adopted. Speaking of the rise and spread of various cults and creeds, another rep resentative said that if the church had been awake to its mission in the world Christian Science never would have obtained the foothold which It now enjoys. More attention, it declares, should have been paid to the efficacy of prayer and tbe healing of the spirit and the body by spiritual means. Worry at a National Error.

HE WENT OVER THE WABASH Story of 8tuyvant Flih'a Putll Ef fort to Taoh a 8wltehmn to Bo Pollto. Elmer T. Stevens or Cbarlei H. Stevena & Bros, told the followlag story at the Association of Commerce luncheon at the La Salle hotel In Chicago: "When Stuyvesant Fish was presi dent of the Illinois Central railroad, he was sitting In his office one morn ing with the door closed, looking over some reports. The door waa sudden ly opened and In came an Irishman with his hat on his head and his pipe In his mouth, and, walking up to Mr. Fish, he aald: "I want a pass to St Louis." "President Fish, somewhat sur prised, looked up and said, 'Who are your "The man replied, 'I am Pat Casey, one of your switchmen.' "President Fish, thinking It was a good chance to teach the man a lit tle lesson In etiquette, said: 'Now, Pat, I am not going to aay that I will refuse your request, but there are cer tain forms that a man should observe In asking a favor. You should knock at the door before you come In, and when I say "Come In," you should en ter, and, taking off your bat, and re moving your pipe from your mouth, you should say, "Are you President Fish?" I would say, "I am, Who are you 7" Then you should say, "1 am Pat Casey, one of your switchmen." Then I would say, "What can I do for you?" Then you would tell me, and the matter would be settled. Now, you go out and come In again In a little while and see if you can do better.' "So the switchman went out, closing the door. About two hours later there was a knock on tbe door and Presi dent Fish said, 'Come In.'- In came Pat Casey, with hi hat off and bis pipe out of his mouth. Pat said, 'Good mornln. are you President Fish of the Illinois Central?' President Fish said, 'I am. Who are you?' 'I am Pat Casey, one of your switchmen.' 'Well, Mr. Casey, what can I do for your 'You can go to h . I got a pass over tbe Wabash.' " DEEP MYSTERIES OF LIFE If Wo Could Fathom Them Little Would Be Left for Us to Do Here. If we could fathom life's mysteries there would be little left for us to do on earth. If we could understand why the sun shines for some and tbe shadows deepen for others there would be no use to try to work out the problem of existence. It would be solved for us beforehand and the great questions which now quicken our souls Into being would never rise to tbe surface. It Is the mystery of It all, the uncertainty of everything save the existence of God, which makes life such a wonder puzzle, a puzzle to be picked out piece by piece and fitted together In his own good time. It is true that sometimes we grow weary of our work. We find the processes too slow to suit our Im patient desires and tbe results not al together equal to our expectations, but for all that we never lose our ambition to correctly solve tbe problem as It Is presented to us for solution. We are in this world to work out our destiny and the means to this end are placed within our reach from the very out set, but it so happens that our very humanity binds us at times to our best interests, and we carelessly and even wilfully pass by the very things which would prove of most service to us. Because our Inclinations lie In other directions than those for which by nature we seem best fitted we oft en make the" mfstake of beginning wrong, a condition which naturally forestalls any hope of success. Charleston News and Courier. Esteem That Is Lasting. "There is no occasion to regard with continual dislike one who had former ly a mean opinion of your merits; for you are never so sure of permanent esteem as from the man who once es. teemed you lightly, and has corrected his mistake if it be a mistake." Sir Arthur Helps. Costly Knowledge. Every tailor knows a lot of promis ing young men. New York Tribune. Value of a Man. The value of a man to the world Is not measured by the wealth he pos sesses, or the business Interests be directs. The world is poorer for the loss of tbe men who went down with the Titanic, rot because a few of them were millionaires, or captains of Industry, but because all of them were men, men with the heroism, the self devotion, to help others not their loved ones alone, but strangers to safety, and then step calmly back to wait for death. Poorer! Yes, but richer, too! It la not grief alone that brings tears to our eyes and lumps to our throats as we read the story, but pride nnd thankfulness, as well. There come times to most of us when, discour aged by someone's folly or weakness perhaps our own the world Beems to us a sordid place, hardly worth sav ing.

Baring Gould In bis book, "The Land of Teck," is absolutely swathed in red tape. In Illustration, he tells an ex perience of his own while Journeying by rail from Ober-Lennlngen to Owen. I asked at Ober-Lennlngen for a third-class ticket to Owen, and sup- posing that I had got what I aBked for, stepped Into a third-class carriage. On these branch lines nearly everyone travels fourth. Before reaching the next station only a mile from Ober- Lennlngen, In fact the Inspector ap- j pcared. "Hah!" he said. "You have a fourth-class ticket, and are In a third-class compartment. The fine Is six marks." I explained, and offered at once to pass into a fourth-claps carriage or pay the difference In the price of tickets. "That will not do. You have In fringed the law, and must pay six marks," tbe man Insisted. "I get out at Owen, and will explain matters to tbe station master," I said. I did so. "The fine Is six marks," said tbe official, peremptorily. "But, Bald I, "I demanded a third class ticket, and was given one for which I had not asked. This was an oversight on the part of the clerk." "You should have examined your ticket," the station master insisted. The train was delayed five minutes while we threshed out the question on the platform in great detail, and the other passengers craned their necks out of the windows of the carflages and listened with lively Interest. At last, reluctantly, the station master yielded; but I muBt pay tbe difference. "What Is it?" I asked. "One penny." ! i SUITS of Linen and Ratine. DRESSES of Linen and Ratine.
