News from China indicates a
serious situation in Kwaug-Si

STATUE FOR GERMANY.
Out ’ nf Monroe Propotrd In Bn
cUanicr For KtUrr'a Gift.
An American Roland for the German 1
Oliver Is a proposition which is finding 1
a measure of approval in Washington
In return for the gift of a statue «f
kaiser Frederick and the to Ik* Great, placed presented in the by the j
new war
college grtifcjds. says the New York
Tribune. The United States must of
course, it is said, reciprocate with a
statue of some distinguislted Amcri
can. and the name which finds the
most Dlosr iavor favor is 1S that tlirt of or James James Monroe. Monroe,
who F« y e his name to the greatest of j
police*. the Monro,
dcctnne. The fact that Monroe typi
fits the foundutlon B, ° 1,e ® f AtterkaB
policy has been declared to be the
strongest reason why it would be fit
ting to present hhs statue in exchange
f basis or , tha of , t the ® f th modern *'vouacch greatness who of laid ITus- the
sia. There Is ample precedent for the
exchange of statues.
France presented to the United States
the Lafayette statue now in the square
opposite the White House, and this
country reciprocated with a statue of
Washington. It is urged that interna¬
tional etiquette require*, that there
should be a similar return for the gift
of the German emperor. A statue of
Monroe of heroic proportions, suited
for location in the famous I nter den
Linden or even at Kiel, tin* chief naval
etutiqa of Germany, is regarded us
most appropriate. It has been pointed
out that as Washington was the best
known American statesman to the
French, so Monroe has been equally fa¬
mous to the Germans and that the
frank recognition of the Monroe doe
trine frequently made by Germany fur¬
nishes an adequate reason for such a
presentation. No definite steps have
yet been taken to carry out tile pro¬
posed scheme owti*; to the flelny in
sending the statu* of Frederick, but it
seems not unlikely that later there
may be official developments.

TO PRAY ON THEIR BEATS.
Visutunl UeantrementH Are Asked of
Zion Ll(}'» Policemen.
In addition to their duties as guard¬
ians of the peace and inspectors, on
the alert far violations of the antito
baceo smoking ordinance, policemen at
Zion City are required to offer up pray¬
er while 011 duty, says the Chicago |
Record-Herald. Instead of the eus- .
tomary roll call the ni^ht force assem¬ I
bles for prayers nt 5 o’clock every aft¬
ernoon. Elder Dinnis led a recent
meeting, and one of the officers said
afterward:
“The lesson of watching and praying
was most impressively given. The
vast interests to be guarded and the
great personal responsibility of each
man for the work of the night was pre¬
sented with directness. Several short
petitions, full of thanksgiving and im¬
ploring God’s help for faithful service,
followed by a glad, earnest hymn, j
closed the devotions.” i
It is said that no policeman has yet i
been found asleep while on duty.
SilsH Goelei nrnl the O'lnl Fad.
One of the first of the fashionable set
to display the Iridescent trimming that
lias come so greatly into vogue was
Miss May Goelet, who twice wore a
frock at the opera that glistened with
this rainbow effect, says the New York
Press. The bodice iri particular was
sprinkled heavily with drops of opal
lozenges. Several New York dressmak¬
ers took notes. This sort of style ema¬
nates from Paris, but it is not long be
fore imitators show themselves. This
opa i trimming came at an opportune
time. Pearls were on the wane for add¬
ing tone to a gown or hat, and jet lias
been overworked. Silver, too, had its
fiing, and gold was somewhat too star¬
tling for the average woman. So, with
Miss Goelet’s indorsement, opals are in
the highest possible favor for early
spring.
Sir Bluebird.
Breasting a tide of billowing blossoming.
A bit of noon from April skies remote,
Sir Bluebird sings and from his throb¬
bing throat
Outflings such lures of lyric rioting
As stir the orchard bows to murmuring
With rhythmic rapture at each tinkling
note
A.nd sward and coppice aisle to overfloat
With ail the silver symphonies of spring.
Spirit of song! Incarnate melody!
Sped winging earthward, sing, from the
spheres
Thine were such sheer excess of ecstasy. ,
Too keen for rapture and so tense with
tears
That eyes grow blurred with misty mem
en
Of bloomy Aprils In the yester years!

Weak
People
It’s not what we eat, but what
we digest that makes strength.
The trouble -with most weak
people is, they can neither eat nor
digest good food.
Such people can’t work success
fully. It takes fuel to make steam,
and it takes food to make strength.
A young fellow came in the
St white ?L C and thm. ?H er “I afraid u ____ I II

The clerk said: “Fred, I know
something that will help you. It's
Vinol. The boss has got hold of
a way to prepare cod liver oil so it
tastes all right. He calls it Y r inol.
There is iron in it, and it’s just the
stuff for fellows like you. It'll
give you an appetite. It won’t
hurt you anyway. Lots of folks
round here are taking it, and they
tell their friends, and they come
and get it. If it don't help you,
come back and get your money.”
We endorse what the clerk said.
We wouldn’t have put time, money
and reputation into Vinol, if we
hadn’t known it was different from
the general run of medicines.
About ninety-eight out of one
hundred run down people, weak
mothers, pale children, and old
people find it helps them.
