The Secret of the Rich Valley
By Rev. Loy Warwick ... ..
The valley of Chambra In India is won
• Jarful in its fertility and beauty. The se
cret of this glad, good valley is a glo
rious spring of water which flows from
a mil nearby and furnishes water for the
refreshing of the valley and for the use
of the people who live there.
A legend says the valley was onee
without water; It was parched and dry.
the trees were withering and the people
• an<* animals were dying of thirst. The
valley's ruler was a princess, a good and
beautiful woman. She was greatly dis
tressed by the sorrows cf her subjects,
for she loved them very dearly. She con
sulted. says the teller of this story, the
oracle of the place to know the cause of
the drouth, and how the utter ruin of
her people might be prevented. The or
acle replied that if the princess of the
land would die for the people she loved
abundance of water would be given. The
great hearted woman did not hesitate, or
bemoan her fate. She did not complain
that the gods were too hard on her and
beg for an easier thing to do. She has
tened to pay the price of het own life
for the people’s salvation. Her tomb was
built and the princess was buried alive.
Then forth from her tomb there came a
fountain, the stream whereof flowed
down through the valley restoring all
languishing life and carrying water to
the doors of all the perishing people. And
since the day the princess willingly offer
ed herself the waters have continued to
flow and the valley has been like an
earthly paradise.
In this old heahten legend there are
some good and beautiful lessons for us.
The world was perishing for the water
of life; Jesus died ana forth from his
grave there came streams of living wa
ter to quench the thirst and quicken the
life of perishing men. It was a great
sacrifice, but He gladly made it. It was
required of someone to make satisfaction
for the sins of the whole world, and glad
ly He took the burden upon Himself.
And He alone was able to do it. He had
both the willingness and the sLbllitjr. It
was a bitter way He went for us, and
He went alone.
To shame our sins He blushed in blood;
He closed His eyes to show us God. But
the sacrifice was not unwillingly made.
The Lord loverh a cheerful giver, and
He is the pattern of glad and cheerful
giving.
It H a great mystery—too profound to
discuss tn this short article—but it is true
that we live today because Christ died,
z "Without the shedding of blood"—that is
without the giving of life—"there Is no”—
no life physical or spiritual, no happiness,
no psacs no anything. Whatsoever things
are good, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things make life worth living—are ours
because Jesus died for us and rose again.

The cross has a two-fold power. It Is
the ground on which God forgives sins;
and by the revelation it makes of the love
of God, and by the influence it exerts it
is the inspiration and the energy of a new
spiritual life to those whose sins are for
given.
Because Christ died we live, and be
cause we believe He loved us and gave
Himself for us tve live the life He wants
us to live. Carey went to India, Abbury
came to America Allen went to China,
and Livingstone to darkest Africa because
Christ died for them and for *ll men. The
love of Christ constrains such sacrifices
as these noble ones made. The life by
which they lived came from the tomb of
the crucified Christ, as the water in the
legend came from the grave where the
good princess entombed herself.
In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea;
As He died to make men holy.
Let us live to make them free.
The word “bless” comes from the An
glo-Saxon word' for blood.
“And the idea dimly hinted at is this:
Before you can really bless a fellow
creature you must part with your life,
or a part of your life for him; you must
shed blood.”
If we influence people for good, virtue
must go out of us.
Too many of ua want easy places, easy
ways in which to serve God and bless
the world. But let us remember that to
bless is to bleed. You can do many things
that help and do not cost much. But if
you would bless men in the superlative
sense you must suffer, you must bleed for
them. O, whf should we turn back, or
"pass by on the other side” when we see
the cross? Our cross, I mean, the one
we are to take up and bear bravely and
joyfully If we are to be sharers In the
life and glory of Him who bore the cross
for us, and who said: “I go to prepare
a place for you.” The preparation for
the place with Him there is the bearing
of the cross here. And cross-bearing
does not mean something that takes the
shine and song and shout of life away
from us. It Is not something that makes
up speak and act crossly. To bear the
cross is to abide with Christ. It is to
realise that the kingdom of God is peace
and joy.
Your life will become a rich valley, full
of sweet flowers and singing birds, and
full of that with which you may bless
others, when you take up your cross. It
is at the cross that sin ceases, self dies
and the richer, fuller, happier life begins
—the life that is hid with Christ in God.
COTTON MILL MEN
PLAN CURTAILMENT
CHARLOTTE. N. C„ Oct. »-The board
of governors of the American Cotton
Manufacturers* association will meet in
this city tomorrow to decide upon the
next meeting place of the annual con
vention of the association.
New Orleans. Atlanta and Charlotte are
in the race for the convention. President
Parker and other officials will attend.
Another matter to be considered, which
Is of the greatest Importance, is the ad
visability of adopting some plan for the
concerted curtailment of production.
It’s likely action will be similar to that
taken by the Arkwright club of Boston
two days a week. A shut-down plan may
be adopted, as mills are reported to be
in serious condition. Mill owners claim
they cannot advance the price on manu
factured goods.
T. W. Crews, of the Southern Hard
Yarn Spinners' association. says more
mills are closed In the south today than
ever before, and unless there is speedy
improvement In markets others will have
to curtain heavily or shut down.

THE EMPIRE
Qf 'jA pAI j
I.—Japan’s By
Greatest Frederic
Problem. J. Haskin.
TOKYO.—Japan’s greatest problem is
fiscal. The question is;- How shall a small
> poverty-stricken nation raise funds suf
i fieient to finance the most ambitious im
j perial program mapped out since the day
, of Napoleon? Cold-blooded and heartless
( statecraft upon the part of the rulers,
whole-souled and unquestioning patriot
-1 ism upon the part of the ruled; make the
solution of the problems less difficult in
I Japan than it would be to any other na
, tlon on earth. Never before has a clvll
naed nation imposed such a burden of
I taxation upon its people as the Japanese
statesmen have ordained for purposes of
' imperial extension. The burden is borne
almost without coifiplaint. In Nippon it is
1 the duty of the people to obey the rulers
1 of the state as the child obeys its honor
! able father and Its honorable mother. No
I questions are asked But for all that,
i revolutions have occurred even In Japan.
I and there is a point beyond which even
Japanese patriotism will fall and the
boasted spirit of “bushido” prove futile.
The Japanese statesmen must be wise
enough not to push their schemes beyond
I that point, or the new Japanese empire
i will be attacked from within.
> Great Britain reached its eminence as
the greatest of the world powers through
a series of fortuitous circumstances. The
British empire today represents the great
est achievement of statecraft in history,
but it was built up little by little and
without definite plan. Not any one states
man nor any one group of statesmen in
England laid down the program of em
pire. Like Topsy. it "just growed.”.The
German empire is the outgrowth of Prus
sian ambition and the genius of Bis
marck. but rapid as its growth hag been
lit has dealt with one problem at a time,
> each in its own good season. If the next
j venture is to attack the sea ower of
Britain it will come as the logical result
of imperial growth; not because such a
venture Is the next number on the set
program The great American republic
Is one of the chief nations of the world,
but no one has ever accused it of having
a definite policy, much le«« of adhering
to a fixed plan of procedure.
e e •
Japan is different. Resolving to enter
the concourse of modern nations because
therein was the only hope of safety, the
Japanese early decided upon a course of
International policy to which they have
been singularly faithful. That course Is
Imperial in the fullest sense of the word,
and its ultimate object is the establish
ment of the Japanese empire as the
chief power In Asia, if not in the world,
with respect both to military and commer
cial dominion. Every act of Japan in the
last quarter of a century has been In con
sistent and persistent accordance with the
alms and purposes of this policy.
• • •
The adoption of western methods of
civil and military administration, result
ing In the constitution and the victorious
army and navy, are the things too well
known of Japan to require relation. Then
' there was the long and patient struggle
for a revision of the treaties with the
powers, resulting finally in the abolition
of the right of extra-territoriality and
the Inclusion of foreigners under the Jap-
Japan full rights as an equal nation,
rights which will be confirmed next year,
when the treaties will be renewed without
time The war with China
In 1894 was the first Indication of the
j Japanese purpose to obtain a foothold
upon the Asiatic mainland at the cost of
war. The territory then captured was
returned to China under pressure from
i Europe, but as Japan collected an Indem
i nlty of 300,000,000 yen for a war which cost
| only 159,000,000 yen the result did not stop
1 the onward march of Japanese Imperlal
! Ism.
1 The formation of the alliance with Eng
: land, the war with Russia and the selsure
lof Korea were the next steps. Now, in
flat violation of treaty obligations and
diplomatic promises, the Japanese hold
upon Manchuria is tightened. The Japa
nese are in Manchuria to stay. The Jap
anese today exercise a control in Korea
I and southern Manchuria as complete as
that exercised by England in Egypt; and
does not the whole world regard Egypt as
essentially a part of the British empire,
despite the twin fictions of Turkish sover
eignty and Khedeval government. To put
the thing bluntly, Japan has more than
doubled its imperial area in the last five
years.
The Japanese imperial program does not
stop with territorial or governmental ex
' pansicn. The commercial ambition is, in
; fact, the greater. Never did n'tlon at
i tempt such a stupendous commercial com
palgn as that now being carried on by the
Japanese. Other nations have encourag
ed their business men to capture foreign
trade and create new business. Japan as
a nation and In its capacity is actually
| engaged in all sorts of commercial and
industrial enterprises, either as full owner
i or silent partner.
The fiscal prqblsm In Japan is to pro
vide sufficient money to maintain the
army and navy and to constantly Increase
I the latter; to pay for the administration
!of affairs In Korea and Manchuria; to
[ meet the deficits of countless business
t concerns with treasury subventions; to
, pay the subsidies which keep the enor
mous Japanese merchant marine on the
high seas; to maintain the most expensive
and extensive diplomatic and consular
service In the world; to finance number
less schemes for Industrial development
and business exploitation of the newly ac
quired Japanese “possessions” on the
mainland; and to meet the enormous ob
ligation of a huge imperial debt.
The people from whom all this money
must come are the poorest, albeit the
| thriftiest, on earth. The arable area of
Japan, which supports a population of
50,000,000 people, la less than the area of
West Virginia. If every human being
in the United States, Canada and Mexico
were to be forcibly removed to the state
of Kansas, then Kansas would not be
as crowded as Japan Is today. The best
rice in the world is grown in Japan, and
rice growing is the chief industry of the
nation. Yet the farmers are so poor that
they cannot eat the rice they grow. They
must sell It and then buy the cheaper
grades of rice from French Indo-China,
that. They must subsist on a diet of
and many of them are too poor even for
boiled millet seeds, with a feast of fish
once a month. The' average amount of
land tilled by each family is a trifle less
than two acres. The agriculture skill,
the unflagging Industry, the thrift, the
patience of the Japanese farmer is not to
be equalled under the sun. Yet of the
product of that tiny farm, hardly big
enough for an American kitchen garden,
the farmer must support his family,
which is never small, and he must. give

of his produce 27 per cent in taxes to the
imperial government and from 2 to 8 per
cent in taxes to the local government.
There are some prosperous business
men in Japan, some few rich men. If a
man's Income reaches the amount of |50,-
000 a year he must pay 68 per cent of
the whole to the government as an in
come tax, or an annual tax of $34,0(0 out
of $50,000. And that tax Is not based upon
a return made by the taxpayer, but upon
an estimate made by the secret agents
of the government, in a land where the
secret agents know every secret. There
are only 28 men in Japan who pay taxes
on an Income this large. But the income
tax pursues, tn descending scale, the man
In every walk of life, down to an annual
income of SSO. And the very poorest
must pay an average income tax of 32
per cent. The land tax In cities is 20
per cent per annum on the assessed val
uation. The assessment is made at about
50 per cent of the actual value, so that
in ten years the owner of city real estate
has paid in taxes the full value of his
property.
These enormous taxes are paid almost
without complaint. Just before the war
with Russia the taxes were quadrupled
for war purposes. Patriotic Japan did
not protest. Just after the war the war
taxes were almost doubled again for—
what purposes? Patriotic Japan en
dured and paid. Patriotic Japan is still
enduring and paying, and there is no
prospect that the taxation burden will be
lifted. There is some protest, of course.
There was a boycott of salt as a result
of the government monopoly Increase in
prices. The newspapers have inveighed
against higher taxes, but their protest
has been no more vigorous and no more
successful than the campaign for taxa
tion reform in the American press. The
i ministry was forced, by public opinion, to
place a limit upon the expenditures of
the navy and army, but the limit is
quite liberally high.
• • •
The national debt of Japan approxi
mates $1,140.000,000—a per capita indebted
ness of $21.98, more than twlve the per
capita Indebtedness of the United States.
The Japanese debt represents money ac
tually borrowed abroad for the purpose
of pushing forward the imperial pro
gram. The American deb< is largely an
artificial concern kept as large as possible !
to enable an absurdly Inadequate bank- I
Ing system to keep up an inadequate cur- I
rency Issue. The difference is that the
Japanese debt will have to be paid in
good cold cash, and the tax collectors are
now busy taking money from the people
to lay up against the day of reckoning.
The financial condition of Japan is
such that a war with the United States
or any great power is practically impos
sible. The Only war Japan is in condi
tion to fight would be one with China,
which might result as the other one did—
in a net profit for Japan’s treasury.
Yet the difficulties of this fiscal prob
lem will not prevent the statesmen of
Japan from pushing forward their plans
for the great Japanese empire. If the
people will continue to stand the heavy
taxation, that taxation will be imposed.
If they will bear the burden long
enough, the statesmen may be successful
tn establishing a mainland empire and an
industrial system which will repay the
nation for its toil and privation. Yet
there is a limit even to Japanese patience.
If the statesmen are not wise, if they
push beyond that limit, then the end of
Japanese ambitions will be found in a
Japanese revolt. There Is nothing so un
likely. Despite the deplorable condition
of Japanese finances, there are tew clouds
in the political heavens illuminated by
the still rising sun of Nippon.

“How now, Snodgrass?” asked
the commandant.
In the lecture hall of a certain military acad
emy in New York were several visitors. They
were an elderly man and an elderly woman
and a girl who bad nothing elderly about her
I at all.
The rows of uniformed students eyed the
girl time and again, and then young Snodgrass,
called “Classy" Snodgrass and “Handsome’’
Snodgrass by a discerning bunch of fellows,
nodded and smiled to her. the rest of the cadets
groaned and said to themselves. "Gee, Snod
grass' copped that one, too. We’ll have to sup
press that guy.”
The prof, lectured on, and everybody didn’t
listen. “Hungry” Murphy smiled openly on the
goddess and got In return one of those through
snd-through looks that makes a window glass
out of a fellow. “Hungry" listened to the lec
i ture after that. Made believe he did, any-
I The lecture ended at last, and as was cus
tomary. the grounds covered by the lecturer
were well talked over—were sifted out. as It
were, like furnace sahes. Suddenly he shot
out a lengthy problem in geometry Ctwas s
yard long) and said: “Mr. Snodgrass, you will
please give the class the solution of that.”
Snodgrass stood up and cast a haughty glance
at “the class,” which really considered it
self all the class at that moment, for It was
hugging itself at the prospect of old “Snoddy”
getting the crusher before his lady love.
“Handsome” Snodgrass bent his brows snd
thought (apparently) very deeply. Several
seconds slowly ticked by in dead silence. Thea
he glanced up and around and his eyes rested
on the fair one. Slowly the rosebud lips form
ed into a pretty coral circle as. at the same
time, Its owner’s eyes looked dreamily out of
the window. Snodgrass said slowly. “The an-,
ewer is sero, sir.”

“Handsome" was troubled. In truth hfs con
science pricked him sorely. While be could
use bls “pony” with the next fellow, to be
helped out by an outsider, to be given the an
swer, direct, seemed to bls peculiar code es
ethics to be very wrong. And so, as an officer
and a gentleman, he had decided to tell it all
to the commandant. He met him on the pa
rade ground and respectfully saluted.
“How now, Snodgrass?" asked the command
ant. And Snod. told him hfs cause for worry.
His superior beard him through with a pe
culiar twinkle in his eye, and when the story
was flnisjied he said facetiously enough for
an old duck. “Go. marry the girl; but don’t
let it happen again."
At which they both laughed long.
THE LIMITED
By Stuart B. Stone.
After No. 148, the Yosemite Limited, pulled
out, the girl nt the Rurallta »t«|ion w«nt back
to her lonely midnight vigil. There had been
heavy receipts during the latter part of the
day, and stuff of much worth had come Ui
ou IM. She slipped the money into the flimsy
offtoe safe, and at the same time she took
from the drawer something bright, sinister and
gleaming. Bhe laid this upon the telegraph
table and covered It with her handkerchief.
Then she waited, yearning for the rose-tlnta of
the dawn. ”
When Putney stepped into the outer office,
stamping and pounding the packed snow from
bls feet, the girl almost screamed. Bhe seldom
bad visitors after 148 went by—and thia was
no night for starting the precedent. She slip
ped her hand beneath the hemstitched limn
handkerchief and grasped the tiny weapon.
When Putney looked through the grating at her
she was too nervous to speak.
Putney had been cn a tour of Inspect in
in the Taussalog hills. He had looked upon
several Minnewahka squaws, some squatters
wives and the helpmate of Ho Sin, laundrv
gentleman at Mooneyvllle. The girl of the
Rurallta station was wonderfully winsome
brown hair and brown, startled eyes. The
cortrast was great. Putney, coming out of
the gloom, snow and the world of ugly women,
stared at the girl without a word.
"Well?” she demanded in such a nervous pitch
that Putney himself started.
“No. 148?" he asked.
"Gone,” she answered. Then, as he did not
go. “There Is nothing more westwardbound to
night.”
Still Putney waited. There was no especial
reason why he should not wait —and then the,
girl. She was good to look upon. But the
girl agent did not care for this admiration. She
was becoming more nervous. “The Yosemite
Limited is gone," she repeated. “What do you ,
want?” .
Somehow Putney could not resist the words, -j
“The Limited Is gone—det her go, then. She
left something wonderfully precious behind." !
He was astonished at the sudden pallor that
came over the girl. She half rose from her
cb« l t-
“What do you mean by that?”
“Oh, nothing," said Putney, coming to him
self. “That la, I beg your pardon."
H, sauntered over to the stove and sat down.
He had missed his train and should bsve been
terribly vexed, but somehow he did not csre.
The room was comfortably warm. The girl— i
and Putney went into a deep revery.
The girl was almost hysterical. Then, as I
rhe brooded, an idea came, and she began to
click the Instrument very rapidly, for she was |
an adapt: _
"Agent, Durham Junction: Suspicious charac
ter in office. Am alone with m safe.
Send help."
Putney, in the depeest kind of a revery,
wherein a brown eyed girl played a deliciously
pleasing part, heard a sharp click. Ha raised
his head to look Into the barrel of a peari
handled toy of a revolver. The girl, tense and
white, gleamed from behind ths weapon.
“Handc up!" she demanded.
,<Why—what’s the matter?” laughed Putney,
without moving.
“Hands up,” she repeated, “or I'll shoot!"
Putney elevatM his arms, his ey*s twinkling.
“You wouldn’t shoot In a century," be declared.
“Now get out!" she demanded.
“But It's cold,” pleaded Putney. “Xou’re
not afraid of me, are you?”
"Get out,’ 'ahe i eiterated. "I'll defend the
company's property with my life.”
“Oh!” laughed Putney, and pulled his hands
down—and the girl did not shoot. "That’s It.”
he continued and, reaching into his pocket, pro
duced a great roll of bills. He handed the bills,
a magnificent diamond studded watch and a
splendid, solitaire ring to the girl. “Here, take
these and hide them—if that’s what you’re
afraid of.”
Ths girl gasped. “I don’t understand. V. hat
made you talk the way you did—about the ■
precious things left here by the limited?” She
lowered the revolver.
“Oh.” said Putney, reddening. "I meant--!
meant jou.”
The girl colored deliciously, and Putney went
on ‘Yea —you: for you are precious, pretty, i
plucky and businesslike and entirely too splendid
a specimen of a girl for this poor, lonely job.
I’ll see that you’re transferred tomorrow.”
"But how—l don’t understand—who are you?"
she stammered.
Ther» was a brisk shoving open of the door
and half a dozen bulky trainmen pushed In.
When they saw Putney, their eyes twinkled. .
“Great Seott! It’s the old man—the superin
tendent!” they exclaimed.
The next day the girl at Rurallta weqt to
the best post on the division.

SUCKED THROUGH CORN CHUTE,
NEGRO IS SMOTHERED TO DEATH
Caught In the powerful auction of a<
corn shute that held him like quicksand
and pulled him down with a force as
irresistible as gravity, Lowrey Aurubrugh,
a negro, aged 20 years, was dragged slow
ly into the smothering stream until It
closed above his head and he came out
a dead map on the floor below.
The accident occurred Tuesday after
noon about 4 o’clock at the Atlanta Mill
ing company. Aurubrugh had worked
there only a few days, not long enough
to learn the deadly perjl of the corn
shutes.
He and a fellow negro workman named
Ezra Simpson were employed on the same
floor. ' As usual, they were working an
kle deep In corn. Presently Aurubrugh
felt his leg being dragged from under
him- For a few moments he made no
effort to pull it back, and then to his
terror he felt it caught in the grip of the
corn shute.
He cried out to his fellow-workman to
save him, and Simpson caught him by
