speak French quite fluently. It was a
beautiful day. The lake was dotted
with the romantic little sailing barks
and row boats of Lake Geneva and
around the banks were droves of love
ly white swans swimming peacefully
in the water. Flocks of large white
birds resembling sea-gulls fly about
the rocks and hover around the crumb
ling walls of old Chillon as if eager
to keep alive the historic memories
of the past centering this old prison
while glistening in the morning sun
the proud and ’’Dents du Midi” be
yond lift their hoary heads in scorn
at the littleness of man whose life
“is but as a vapor which passeth away
and is gone.” In the meantinme, how
ever, these lovely little girls have as
sembled in the concert house for the
afternoon concert which is free to vis
itors here and of course I have to
finish rowing, etc., in time for that.
They have a very good orchestra here
which plays every afternoon and there
are many very beautiful girls visiting
Montreux now, none of whom I have
had the pleasure of meeting. And they
wear every kind of costume imagina
ble for it is the new spring fashion.
If Adam could come to Montreux and
see these girls here he would be very
much surprised and would probably
ask Eve what sort of animals they
were and how he missed giving them
a name. There are three ele
gant ladies here, two elderly Swiss,
German baronesses and a young mar
ried woman from Nantes (France). We
three have played chess together sev
eral times. —Marvin F. Beeson, Stu

CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA.
Young China is throbbing with am
bition. However indifferent the vast
hordes remain, the leaders of democ
racy are seizing every opportunity to
gain the world’s esteem. Yuan-Shuh-
Kai, lately commander of the Imperial
armies, and now president, in a recent
address delivered to the native pas
tors of the Protestant churches in
Pekin, assured his Christian subjects
that under his regime every effort will
be made to equalize all faiths and
guarantee to each man the secure pur
suit of his religious beliefs.
This is the most important news
that has come from the Flowery King
dom since the overthrow of the Man
chus. The first essential to progress
is equality before the law, and the
removal of caste and creed barriers.
Where bigotry flourishes, advancement
is blocked. The world moves apace
when words such as these ring from
Tartary: “The distinction between
Christians and non-Christians will dis
appear forever. Members of one great
family, we shall all exert ourselves to
promote the strength and prosperity
and happiness of the Republic of
China.” —Herbert Kaufman, in Man’s
World.
DRINKING CUPS FOR ALL.
Washington, D. C., April 26. —Ar-
rangements have been made by the
Southern Railway to furnish sanitary
individual drinking cups to passengers

senger desiring a cup will receive one
free of charge on application to the
conductor. Notices to this effect will

Furnishing drinking cups to passen
gers on the large number of trains

involve a substantial expenditure
which is being undertaken to provide
for .the convenience of patrons of the
railway. All common drinking cups
have been removed from trains in
compliance with nUited States gov
ernment regulations and the statutes
and ordinances of many states and
municipalities.
Hereafter passengers on Southern

days. Why was he so moved now?
“Tell me about home,” the young
man said abruptly. “I’ve thought of
it and of Lucy a nd you more tonight
than in months.”
Mr. Waitland did not answer read
ily. When he spoke, at length, his
voice was low and his words pain

a man whom she did not love, and I

her death. My house and my heart are
empty now. Oh, boy, if you would

before I die that my own will had
not ruined the lives of both of my chil

A tall Irishman was stopping at a
western hotel. After having been in
hte room he came down and asked the
clerk for a needle, scissors and thread.
In an hour he returned and said:
“Begora it wouldn’t do.”
“And what is it?” asked the clerk.
“The sheet was not long enough
t) cover my feet and I cut off the
top and sewed it on the bottom and
its no better.”
agony lay beneath those words. So
he was not the only one who h a d suf
fered!
He looked at the long quiet train,
the lights of the station and platform.
He felt he coull not escape from un
desired praise very much longer,
where he was. Had he walked that
track tonight for this one thing?
Should he believe that Providence
h a d brought him here and do as he
seemed being led to?
A sudden exultation swept over him.
He had been feeding on husks; the
stcry of the prodigal son was true.
He knew he had been a prodigal
son in spite of his high ideals; he
wanted to turn towards his Father’s
house and he was glad that the way
there l a y in the path of his earthly
father.
“Yes, dad,” he said, “I believe I
want to go home more than anything
else in the world . Shall we start
on together as soon as the track is
repaired?”

ROSY AS A GIRL.
Summit, N- C.—ln a letter receiv
ed from this place, Mr. J. W. Church,
the notary public, says: “My wife
had been ailing for nearly 12 years,
from female ailments, and at times
was unable to leave the house. She
suffered agony with her side and back.
We tried physicians for years, without
relief. After these treatments all fail
ed, she took Cardui, and gained in
weight at once. Now she is red and
rosy as a school girl.” Cardui, as
a tonic for women, has brought re
markable results. It relieves pain and
misery and is the ideal tonic for
young and old. Try it. At druggists.
