LAID BIBLE SCENES IN CHINA
Native Artist Had No Conception of
Any Other Land Outside of
His Own.
In north Fuklen province there dwelt
an artist who painted pictures on silk
for tho gentry of his little village. Tho
people In this secluded hamlet nestled
amid the hills, hud never seen autoino
biles or airplanes, nor did they toko
tho long journey to Shanghai to watch
tho great steamers come In laden with
merchandise und messages from tho
ports of the world. Hut they know the
words of Confucius and Lao-tse nnd
they lived and died with simple dig
nity as tholr fathers had done before
them. One evening the nrtlst, who
had been working all day on n me
morial portrait, strolled out Into the
dark, cool street to refresh his tired
soul, writes Elsie F. Well In Asia Mag
azine. The tiny white, church of the
foreign tfod beyond the tea shop was
brilliantly lighted. The artist stood
moment In the open door. The young
missionary was talking most eloquent
ly; hu was not preaching, but he
Keemed to be telling stories that were
as fascinating as those recited In the
baznurs. Almost In spite of himself
the nrtlst sank unobtrusively into an
empty sent. For the ilrst time he
i heard sonic of tho beautiful old stbrlcs
I of tho Dlble, which have held tho peo
ple of tin; West enthralled for 2,000
years. And the artist returned to his
home and made pictures of the story
, of Noah and tho Hood, and of tho par
ables of tho lost sheep and of the prod
igal son and of ninny others that woro
In the book of the western missionary.
But ho it ,d never heard of the Pales
tine. To him Nonh was Chinese, and
tha lost sheep belonged to a farmer of
his province and the prodigal son
might well havo been a dissolute youth
of Ids own village

Of THIS (TIT.
It isn't often that a bunch of bust
limited tranaoaoln shrdluotaoln aoiln
lioai menniid womon got off a lim
ited train ut a division point to toll
tho world how good a man is, but that
Is just oxactly what happonod at Chey
onno Monday. And It didn't end there.
Thoso men had mado up a handsome
purse for the trainman In question
und commendatory resolutions ac
companied tho purse.
Add to tho -forogoing tho fact that
some of tho enthusiasts are members
of tho Chambor of Commorco of tho
United Slates, tho object of enthusi
asm a passenger conductor whoso duty
had compelled him to "poster" them
for tickets, and you havo something
roally to wondor ut. That Is, tho sub
ject Is ouo for wonderment If you
aren't acquainted with this particular
conductor. And ovoii though you hap
pen to bo, it Is rather gratifying to
learn that courtesy and - competence
aro appreciated.
J. G. Anderson of North Platto is
tho conductor who won tho hearts of
his passongers, and incidentally tho
purso and tho commendatory resolu
tions; won them on his last run on n
Union Pacific train. For yesterday Mr.
Anderson retired after forty-two years
of continuous service. That ho should
havo won tho good will of tho party -tho
active good will that constrained
its members to bring tho fact in con
crete form to his attention and to tho
attention of his superiors seems less
strango when it is known that this
same conductor in those forty-two
years of service has never received a
reprimand or a demerit.
Word of the purso first reached bore
In a telegram to J. R. Avingor, chief
dispatcher. Mr. Avingor was merely
requested to meet a delegation of
United Statos chamber of commerce
members and othors bound for Chey
onno and beyond on tho Overland lim
ited. Instantly Mr. Avingor had pre
monitions of trouble. Scldom-ls a rail
road official requested to meet n dele
gation bearing tho ollvo bruncli. That
tho matter was urgent was Indicated
by tho fact that tho audience was dg
tnanddo enrouto. Nor did tho know
ledge that somo of theso men belonged
to tho Chamber ot Commerce of the
United States sorvo to ease his mliyl.
Bather, tlje reverse.
Tho very first question served to
confirm his fears, oven as It magnified
his astonishment. Not onco had it oc
curred to him that tho votpfan con
ductor, Ous Anderson, could havo
been tho eauso of the cojnplalnt . Tho
first romark by William 1). Southwlek,
prcsldont of tho national chambor of
commorco, iudlcntul that very thing,
howover.
"Why, bo's hb lino an old man us,
you'd want to meet. He's been In tlio
servico of this road since " Mr.
.Avingor began.
"Woknow It," Mr. Southwlek broke
In with a grin. "Know all about It.
Yty'vo mado up a little purso and somo
resolutions. Wo want you to buy a
draft an Now York with tho money,
have tho resolutions printed, and give
'urn to Mr. Anderson with our compli
ments," And ho shoved a big munilla
onvolopo Into the dispatcher's hand
as tho Overland showed signs of rest
lessness. Mr. Avingor hadn't comitod
the money las night but tho onvolopo
bulged with bills. Tho resolutions
rend:
"Whereas, tho conductor ot this
train Nt). 1, Overland limited, Mr. J.
CJ. Anderson of North Platto, Nebraska
completes forty-two years ot continu
ous sorvico with tho close of this run
and retires on a pension beginning to-,
day, February 1, 1021, with a clean
record and no marks agaMist his name
In tho performance of tho following
duties:
"Freight brtiKoinan, 1878 to 1S80;
"Extra frolght conductor, 18S0 to
18S3;
"llegular freight conductor, 1SS3 to
1890;
"Passenger conductor. 1890 to 1921;
"Therefore, wo, tho undersigned
passengers upon his train this closing
trip of his most romarkablo record of
sorvlce, wishing to show our appreci
ation ot tho same, nro gratified to havo
opportunity of showing our apprecia
tion In handing to Mr. Anderson tho
accoinpnnylng purse, wishing him and
Invalid wlfo long llfo and happy days
with tho assuranco that wo shall al
ways think of him nnd them with
thankfulness for our own safo Journoy
lu his hands."
Tho resolutions aro signed by Mr.
Southwlek and forty-ono othors, in
cluding business mon from all parts
ot tho world, womon passongors, and
ono rour-yoar-old boy. a. S. Mnrtin ot
tho United States medical corps was a
signer,, and other signatures ropre
sontod habitations strung from New
York City to Shanghai China.
It Is safo to say that officials of tho
road aro protty nearly as proud ot tho
purso and coinmndntion as Mr. An
derson, hlmsolf. Tho orlglnl of tho
resolutions goos to tho conductor and
two, photographic reproductions aro

How to 'Know'fcoetry.
We literates hnvo been taught to
read poetry, and taught also that It
Is highly commendable to enjoy It. In
order to know what kind of poetry
ought to be especially enjoyed, we read
other books, written by critics. In or
der to understand what 'the poetry
that ought to be admired means, wo
read other books by professional
grammarians. By the time we have
finished this preparatory reading, we
are somowhnt confused. Wo aro In
doubt as to what'poetry actually is,
und how It differs from prose. In this
predicament we fall back on the print
er. If every line begins with a cap
ital letter, we assume that It Is po
