Chinese Barbara Don't Use Lather.
"One of the chief trials of I lie aver
age uinn Is the way bis razor pulls
when be proceeds to emse the beard
from bis face," remarked a traveler.
"Some years ago I was in China, und
I noticed that Ibe cunning burlier of
that country. Instead of putting lather
on the faces of their customers, used n
number of very hot towels. 1 went
through the experience and became a
convert to the Chinese system. To this
day when 1 go to shnve. In lieu ot
sonp, I steam my face with hot water
and find that this method lakes all the
wlrlness out of the whiskers far bet
ter than lather, so that If the blade Is
reasonably sharp you can share with
out any torture Incurred In the 'pull
ing process." Baltimore American.
Athletio Women of Other Days.
A searcher after curious facts has
learned that athletic women are by
no means a modern product, as is gen
erally believed. They flourished In the
days of sal volatile, hoops, patches and
snuff-In the days when George II.
was king. Ladles of the court took
part in races arranged for them at the
regular meetlugs, so that there were
lady jockeys as well as gentlemen
jockeys, and once a series of foot races
for ladles in Hyde park was organ
ized. The first one was ruu amid great
enthusiasm of the populace, and the
betting was high. Then stepped In
some cross gralued old fellow, who
persuaded the government that such
races were unseemly, and they came
to a sudden end.
The Habeas Corout.
The substance of habeas corpus was
given in the famous Magna Charla ot
1215. but as loduy understood the
habeas corpus refers to the act of HiT'J.
This act provides that any man taken
to prison can insist on being brought
by his accuser before a judge, who
shall immediately decide whether or
not ball is to be given; that the ac
cused shall have I he question of bis
guilt decided by a jury of twelve men
and not by a government ageut; t bat
no one can be tried twice on the suuie
charge; that every one may insist ou
being examined wlthiu twenty days
of bis arrest and tried by jury the
next session; that no defendant may
be seut out of the county for impris
onment. New Vork American.
His Sound Sleep.
Lord North slept in the house of
commons, says Mr. Spencer Leigh
Hughes, more than any other man who
ever led it. but even he was awake at
times. There was an occasion on
which some gentleman was denounc
ing the noble lord in really very fine
style, aud the uoble lord gave every
indication of being not only asleep, but
fast asleep und snoring.
The indignant member exclaimed,
"Sir, even in this crisis in the history
of our nation the noble lord is asleep."
Lord North opened one eye for one
moment and made the memorable re
mark, "1 wish to heaven I was," auu

the meetings that are going on in
Enterprise. There have been a great
many souls converted and I know
there is not one soul that is not
converted that does not feel God's
! i.t .Mvinir with him to become
a Christian. So while the Spirit 1;
I working let all of us work together ,
!for the salvation of every unsaved I
soul in Enterprise. We need your'
! co-operation and God will bless you
in your effo:t. Your brother 1
Christ. Frank Hamblen.
You Hear tlie Truth.
It is wonderful to see the success
Dr. Pratt the union evangelist speak
er, is having. He is a boon to the
country nad is the kind of an orator
that impresses you that he knows
what he Is abojt;. He puts the
truth to you In such a way that you
hPin but se where you stand.
He Is bringing the lost ones to the
fold. There have been more than
isn additions to date. When you
hear him you hear the truth. Earl
Pack.
Over 175 Converts.
There is no nueitia.i but that the
meetings huve been a success in ev
ery respect. I will venture that no
one at the outset expected as large
and as far-reaching results as hive
already been realized. The work has
been quiet, deep and thorough. Had
It been a campaign of emotionalism.
the fact Uiat about 173 or more June
confessed Christ would have been
occasion for spreading the news in
every paper in tins noruieusiem j
part of Oregon. As it is, the soul-saving
work has gone on so quietly and
with so little of the spectacular that j
people little realize what is being,
accomplished.
It has been my privilege to take a j
more or les active part in several
evangelistic campaigns. In none have j
I seen a more so.ind or simple pre-,
sentation of Uie Scriptures; in none,
a stronger and more manly appeal to
reason and good judgment; in none
a more careful instruction of the con
verts; in none a more urgent insis
tance unon obedience to the Word,
Intensity of prayer and open confes
sion. In consequence the conversions
have been bright and Intelligent.
It ' is hoped that every one will
avail themselves of the privilege of
the meetings duiing the few remain
ing days Uiey are to continue.
S. Harris.
Unity of Spirit.
The Evangelistic campaign being
held under the direction of Dr. Pratt
Is accomplishing a great deal of good.
His presentation of the plan of Salva
tion and his appeal to the reason and
conscience Is leading those who ac
cept Christ to do so with earnestness
and determination. Another good re
sult is the unity of spirit with which
all Christian people, both' old and
new converts, are working together.
J. S. Kay.
Opportunity of Lifetime.
The revival meetings now in pro
gress deserve the support of every
person who is Interested in the wel
fare of the community. Dr. Pratt ha
shown himself to be an able exposlt
or of the Scriptures, and on earnest
preacher of righteousness. He has
jhown an earnest purpose of leading
us to "Get Right with God," and is
loing his best to establish the con
verts In the Christian life. These
meetings afford an opportunity to
learn the way of truth that will not
occur again in the lifetime of many
of us. You cannot afford to miss
this opportunity. C. E. Trueblood.
Unabatsd Interest.
The union revival meetings at the
rink continue this week with unabat
ed Interest. The cold weather proves
but little hindrance. The house is
made quite comfortable and with
wraps on no inconvenience is euffer
sd. The work is de?p and perversive.
The outward manifestations are en
couraging; about 140 have professed
aith in ChrUt. .Monday night's theme
dealt with social evils. Dr. Pratt
spoke In no uncertain sound on the
ivlls of the modern "round dance"
where hugging i set to music and
inflamed passions hold sway. The
round dance permits and displays e
iberty between the sexes that no
barbarous or heathen people of earth
tolerate. It ministers to the lowei
life and furnishes an ever liicreas
Ing army, who enter the fallen life,
and sell themselves at the altar o!
lust to demonized man. If the town
people esteem virtue and have any
regard for personal purity the)
should abominate and flee from this
leath-breedlng plague of your social
system. W. H. Gibson.

meetings now in progress in our city,

Strengthens Christians.
The evangelistic meetings being
conducted by Dr. Pratt at this place
2 an not be too highly spoken of. His
liscourses are powerful In strength
ening Christian people and warning
sinners. There should be a larger
attendance and moat especially of
lou'Uers of the divine origin of the
