China’s Resurrection Every writer od foreign affaire is im presaei with China's awakening and de terminatior. to assert herself as a coming world power- . . The eedueion of centuries worked greatly to China s disadvantage. That great Chinese wall was built in the plen itude of China s power many centuries ago and bad a selfish purpose, namely, to abut out all other nations of the earth, to keep the world from knowing what China was doing and to hold within her self all her elements of greatness, and thus prevent other people from imitating them to either science or religion They were so goody-goody m their es timation that they were like the Pharisee who thanked God they were not as other men. Wrapped In the drapery of their dreams they forgot to peep over the great wall to see what their neighbors were diong. They despised the Japs as the Pharisee deep'.ee-l the degraded man who stood in a byway and cried. "Lord. be merciful to me a sinner.’’ Japan had no wall about her dominion save the great open sea. And while China was pursuing a strict policv of seclusion and hiding herself be hind a retaining wall. Japan was welcom ing to her shores the American ships of dlfccorery In a short time Japan assimi lated wrerythlng we carried to their shores, they traveled back to America and other countries, adopted dress manners and habits as well as mechanical imple ments and work-saving devices from the strangers. All this has happened in my time, was a young woman when Japan opened her ports to Commodore Pern* and I read all the particulars in books and pa- early as IS7« I noticed the difference between the Japanese and Chinese who visited America at the centennial expo sition. The Jape dressed as we did, while the Chinamen wore the same loose-flap ping blouses that they used in China. Jap men and women were seen every where like white people, while the poor Chinese women were shut In out of sight and the Chinese men were objects of curi osity alone. Something was obliged to come out of such differing classes, so near to each other at home, and while Russia was able to bring China to her knees very soon. In a few mot.ths Russia was actually whipped out of ber boots by the little orown men of Japan. All this is history, often repeated in my column of The Semi-Weekly Journal. Now. China has got her eyes open. The sleep of centuries has been broken. She has the population to gather and mobilise a great army. China’s 400.C80.000 of people means great armies if they stand for nothing else. China has great minds in her midst. Confucious was one of the flve greatest men known to earth's his tory.

Butts Co. A. M. W." Give the Boys Better Chances I will copy here a letter from a young man who looks at the boy's side of the question: "Dear Mrs. Felton: I have never writ ten to you before, but I thought I would do so very often, because I am a boy 15 years old. and I think I can write some thing on the boy’s side of the subject. "The average farmer acts contemptibly mean with his boy. He sets himself up as a standard and tells his son that he didn't want so and so. and there is no reason the boy should want anything different. If he had to turn out of bed at 4 o'clock In the morning and go It until dark, when he was a boy. why should his son do any thing else? "If he went without a decent suit in his boyhood, had no nice shoes, and no spend ing money, why should hts offspring ex pect anything better? He calls such things extravagances. “Anv farmer who reasons that way has a selfish motive under it all. He ought to know that the boys of today cannot be treated like they were 50 years ago. He will tell his son »that his father wore a hickory shirt, without a collar, when he 1 went to meeting, and the boy wants a white shirt, well starched, with decent collar and necktie, and to hear him talk he thinks hts son has no right to improve on former methods. “I fa boy has an earnest desire to be a printer or harness maker, or a wood en graver, no father with common sense would compel that boy to work at the trade of a stone mason. Then why should a father compel a boy to stay on the farm when he shows a decided taste for mechanics or some oth er lucrative occupation? Should a boy who loves the carpenters' trade be forced to live and work in a harness shop, who Is to blame for the making of a botch workman tn leather? A man who might be a good architect can be turned into a very poor farmer. He certainly will be a poor one-figure it out as you may. Let a farmer seek to discover what hts son leans to and des'res to do, and it may be that he will lean to agricul ture. If so then give him a living chance with hla chosen profession. Don't expect him to plod in the same old way. but afford him some education in the profession he has chosen. When we see the efforts and results of average farming in this country any body will agree that their work might be improved upon. If a farmer expects his boy to be con tented on a farm, he should give him a small partnership share in the business and be honest in allowing him to get ft as a right, and not as a favor. No boy is going to do his best unless there Is some incentive. The law says a farmer can work hU boy until ha is of age, but If that father fails io interest hts son by showing a libera] spirit toward him. he is surely going to be disappointed In the end. Should the boy's tastes lean to a pro fession or a trade, the father must argue the question as a reasonable man should do. He should be ashamed to encumber the earth with only another botch farmer. He has no right to condemn his son to en forced poverty in any such away. If he is a wise father he will encour age hts sen to seek the strong trend of hlx inclinations as to a calling.

If the youth Is a "hard car 5,” he Is gen erally following an example in his own home. The man has likely been too ar oltrary. He has gone on the idea that children are to be drudges. He Is likely expected to make money out of his chil dren as long as he could do so. The boy's tired back and muscles called for no sympathy, and he expects to "harden” him for good and sure. Many farmers do not progress In this way. but there are many who do. This is one reason why farming has so many drawbacks. Such disastrous causes will provoke disastrous results. Farmers had better wake up to their own necessities. Give the boys a chance and spare your selves some heartaches and much humilia tion, farmers!

DOG TEAMS TO RACE FOR $15,000 PURSE SEATTLE, Oct. 13—Although a number of obstacles have been encountered to Interfere with advance plans for the an nual sweepstakes dog-team race at Nome for the coming winter, it is the opinion of Jake Berger that the difficulties will be overcome and the next event made an even more notable sporting event than that of last year. Mr. Berger, with a team of dogs valued at 310,000, won the first pr’ze purse and trophy last year, and with a second team carried away honors of the second race. He arrived in Seattle recently from Nome. He will spend the winter in Seattle, going north by the winter overland trail from Valdez for the dog races. Mr. Berger proposes to enter both teams with which he took big winnings last year. He says that some changes In the outfits have been made, but the teams will be substantially the same. He has had the dogs kept carefully throughout the year and believes that nothing to be assembled from all Alab.-a can keep him from being a winner. The services of "Scotty” whose work as a driver was an important factor with last season's races, have been re tained by Mr. Berger to handle his entries for the next events. Prior to the sailing of the steamship Senator, on which Mr. Berger came to Seattle from Nome, a fund of nearly 35,000 had been assembled for the dog races, extending the fund to permit offering purses and trophies to the amount oft 315.0C0. The gold and silver trophy that was a part of the Berger winnings of last year was brought cut from Nome and will be placed on exhibition in Seattle. ARMED POSSE SEEKS YOUTHFUL BANK ROBBER LAWRENCE.

FOUR YEARS’ WORK ENOUGH FOR WIFE SPOKANE. Wash., Oct. 13—Mrs. Maries Mann, wife of John Lester Mann, a bonanza wheat rancher in Spokane county, shows in her petition for divorce, filed in the superior court here, that the routine of her four years of married life left no time for visiting relatives or neighbors, to say nothing of bridge whist and music. Stripped of their legal verbi age. the allegations set forth in the com plaint present the appended schedule of duties: Rise at 4 o'clock a. m. Exercise with a crosscut saw’ on a pile of logs.

CABLE TNBTCATFS TWAIN’S BAD HEALTH NBW YORK. Oct. 13—A calle from Mark Twain to a Tendon iwwaw declining to tas» an active part in the agitation for reform !n the adminiftratlon of the Congo, gives Inform-i --ton concerning be health, ’the mersnge. wnten was sent from bis home in Connecticut, reads "l would bo glad if I were able to take an active part in yonr crusnde. but I am obliged to refrain from entering Into the matter at tuts tln»e. The condition of rov health baa made it necessary for my physician to advise me not to take ary pa't tn any public movement, par ticularly like the one affecting the Congo, the effect of which could not be otherwise than dlstnrbtug to my general mental and physical Condition.” “STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES” Six Wonderful Bible Keys, by Pastor Russell, of Brooklyn By now our readers doubtless feel well acquainted with Pastor Russel) through his sermons, which we publish weekly in common with more than three hundred of the leading American and Canadian journals. We are advised that many of our read ers already have the Pastor’s celebrated books in their homes and are using them effectively, to their delight and intellectual and spiritual profit. It must be so, since there are in circulation about three mil lions of copies of the first volume, "The Divine Plan.” The Bible and Tract So ciety of Brooklyn, N. Y.. publishes the volumes at cost price so as to secure for them a wide circulation. This brings them within the reach of all. Set 1., three vole., handsomely bound, over 1,100 pages, are supplied post or ex press charges prepaid, for 31. Set 11., three vols. to match, nearly 1,900 pages, go for 31-20. Such works, at such abnormally low rates, naturally attract some money lovers who seek to sell for 310 (THE TWO SETS) what costs them but 32.20. The Bible and Tract Society desires to warn all that It is unnecessary to pay such a price;—that if Pastor Russell’s “Studies in the Scriptures” can not be obtained otherwise more conveniently they will be pleased to supply all orders direct from Brooklyn Tabernacle at the prices given above. SOME STILL REMEMBER "BILL ARP." Such will be Interested in the "South ern Philosopher’s” review of the first volume of Series I. He wrote some time before he died:— "It is impossible to read this book without loving the writer and pondering his wonderful solution of the great mys teries that have troubled us all our lives. There is hardly a family to be found that has not lost some loved one who died outside the church—outside the plan of salvation, and, if Calvinism be true outside of all hope and inside of eternal torment and despair. We smother our feelings and turn away from the horsL ble picture. We dare not deny the faith of our fathers, and yet can it be possible that the good mother and the wandering child are forever separated?—forever and forever ? "I believe it is the rigidity of these teachings that makes atheists and infi dels and skeptics—makes Christians un happy and brings their gray hairs down in sorrow to the grave—a lost child, a lost soul! • » • “This wonderful book makes no as sertions that are not well sustained by the Scriptures. It is built up stone by stone, and upon every stone is the text, and it becomes a pyramid of God's love, and mercy, and wisdom. “There is nothing in the Bible that the author denies or doubts, but there are many texts that he throws a flood of light upon that seem to remove from them the dark and gloomy meaning. 1 see that editors of leading journals and many orthodox ministers of different de nominations have indorsed it and have confessed to this new and comforting Hght that has dawned upon the interpre tatlon of God's book. Then let every man read and ponder and take comfort, for we are al) prisoners of hope. This is an age of advanced thought, and more, thinking is done than ever before—men dare to think now. Light—more light ’s the watchword. ••• ALABAMA KEWS GIRARD. Ala., Oct. 12.—Hon. Kyle B.

FERRER SHOT DEM FOR PARTHE TOOK BARCELONA, Oct. 13.—Francisco Fer rer, who was convicted of promoting the recent Barcelona rebellion, was shot this morning in Montjuich prison, in execution of the death sentence imposed upon him. I Professor Ferrer, Spanish educator and I convicted revolutionist, faced the firing squad without flinching, and fell dead at the first volley. Except for a momentary expression of emotion immediately preceding his death, he retained his composure to the last. Hla attorney, M. Galceran, who defended him so loyally as to bring about his own ar rest for improperly addressing the court, secured permission for a biief talk with him just before the execution. TALKS OF HIS WORK. To his attorney, Ferrer spoke feelingly of the work for which he had sacrificed his life and of the future of his daughter, whose brave attempt to save his life touched the father more deeply, apparent ly. than any other incident of his trial and conviction. On Ferrer’s arrest his family was left dependent upon this daughter, who at once secured employment in a biscuit fac tory. When it was known that her father had been sentenced to death the daughter made a personal appeal to King Alfonso, calling upon him in the name of his known generosity and chivalry to spare her father's life. When these facts were related by Galceran, Ferrer broke down for a moment. REFUSES SACRAMENT. ' Ferrer declined to receive the last sac raments, and turned away from the two priests of the Order of Peace and Charity who had been sent by the prison author ities to offer him the final consolation of the church. When the hour of execution arrived he walked bravely through the prison yard to the ditch in the shadow of the encir cling wall. Without a quiver he faced the 12 infantrymen, who at the word of com mand, fired simultaneously. When the re port of the volley had died away, Ferrer lay upon the ground. Previous to the execution precautions had been taken to forestall a possible at tempt at rescue by doubling the sentinels upon the walls of the fortress. The firing squad was drawn by lot. and the command to fire was given hy Gen era] Eserin. Just before his eyes were bandaged Ferrer examined his will, which 'had been drafted for him by Senor Per mayor, dean of the notaries, while the preparations for the execution were going on. The contents of the will have not been made public. Blame Clergy for Execution of Ferrer and Spain’s Plight PARIS, Oct. 13.—The Paris papers to day devote pages to the Ferrer case.
