The Landmark has been receiv ipff voluntary contributions lor the China fainim sufferers. A writ er in it issue of Tlie Ct.iineiit, h had exeiiet:ce some years ago with a famine in China, given some idea of the unspeuKnble condition?. "There i nothing in an Anieri can's ex rien.H," he says "that enables him tn understand a fain ine. Hungry individual he knows, and ewu huegry faaniles, but tens of thout-.-vids or tv n millions of persons actually suf fering for want of food this passes his hiutginatlcn. -'Instead i f heco inng emaciated, he victims f famine were often swollen, as with dop sy. The Chinese persistence and lng-nuiry nil ! tin universal love caused the peuph to gru' for mots ol rasses and bark of trees Kvervth.ng edible, and much tliat as not, was eaten, "When the ImrribU? monster famine, 'icyaii to stalk through the IhihJ the mpna'ed families connnenced to ti e toward the cities to the snuth, veritable eities of refuge. The boats on th cati.d and river were loaded to the gunwales with refuges. A long the banks nipn trundled whwlbariows eontaininia the few family (ftVts and j)erhaps a child or two on top ot them. Sometimes the mother would be missing from these pathetic groups; sometimes the father. "Ov. r and over ngain children were offered for sale and the mother would leverish'y 'kotow' which meanH to be it her head on the gronn as she implored the foreigner to accept her child. With the mntemal instinct that is stronger than life, she sought the child's salvation even et the co-t of sepnrat;nn froni herself. "Outside the city walls the ie firps orcnn'ppd. The morp for- tunntp among them sheltered tli"mselvpq bn'oath 'in nrc'' of matting, for tho famine flight is in winter in North China. All sat or lay on the bare .ground Some poor creatures had t ot" ev en a bit of matting to shelter the elements. Cold, hunger. hope lessness, hompniekness all as sailed the the unfortunates at one an 1 the same time. As he drew near the famine camp outside the wall of Nank ing, tip Wayfarer heard and shuddered to hear, the wailing of little children. They wanted food they wanted fond they knew naught about floods and famine and migration; they only knew that they werehungry, and since food came not to their lips, they cried as long as strength held out. Small wonder that some mo' hers gave their chil dren a weed which made them so ill that, they lont the craving for food. God pity the little children tonight the children whom the mothers carry beneath their clothes, close to their bare flesh for the sake of warmth. How many other children are there like the family beneath the mat at Chinkiang, crying because the mother did not answer their pleas and the baby seeking food from a breast that never more would give milk!" Urging vromPt and generous respne to the appeals for the starving Chinese. The Cou'inent says editorially: "Me ray never required swifter Feet than this terrible human crisis; and the man who delays to give what he can afford to is hardly better than a murderer.' Children dry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA TU.' ristol 'Totcr. " The "'jM.-tol totuig" hutrt, one of the gritt evils with which our courts h ive to contend, is thu aired by Dr J . O. Atkinson, of th Christian Sun, nutl he hits the nail on the head every lick. Hear him: V just wnnt t v.iitp these few lines to let Col Wnde llarns, of The Charlotte Kvetiii.jj Chron icle, know thnt we are iih him tall the way t?p nd down, in and out, through and through, on the subject of ''pistol toting " If this evil habit is not the ' abom ination of desolation." we don't know. It is born of vanity to start ith reared in the spirit of braggadocio and nurtured in cow ardicp. If vou see a pNtol toter, par him down as a lwilly, a brag gart or a coward, usually all three. A brave man or boy, with thre' grains of common epnsp, knj s full well that a person in his land, where people are civil ized and protection is amp!e. has about- ns much u-p for a pistol as a hog has for dynnra'te. To our mind it is the puniest, sil!i st most cowardly habit in all tne broad land. Colonel Harris calls attention tojthe shooting in Concord the other day in which a clerk in one store drew his pistol and shor down the owner ot an adjacent store with littl provocation, and suggests that the clerk had the nefarious habit of 'pistol to ting. We see in the papers where a mavor of a town last wpeV had (to go into the high school and threaten to enforce alaw against pistol "toters," there being some four or five boys in the school be eween 15 and lTyearsofagew' o were habitiual pistol "toters." now isn'tthat a picture for you? No wonder our courts are busy trying men for their livps, men who, on some small provocation drew their pistol and shot down their antagonist. We are going to keep on rearing nf those mur !ers and shameful tragedies as long as pistols are carried in the p 'cket as if they were pen-knives Pistol carrying makes life cheap an i death too quick and easy. We wish the public sentiment were so strong against it, and it deserves to be 'hat the man or boy who carries a pistol should not be allowed in the company of good and decent people. It is a cowardly and dangerous habit that should be condemned every where. It is small, mean useless and dangerous. Lets away ith it. Glorious News. Comes from Dr. J. T. Curtiss. Dvvijjht, Kans. He writes; "1 not only have cured bad cases of ecze ma in my patients with Electric Hitters, hut also cured mysolf by them ot flic same disease. I feel sure that they will care an. case of eczema."

V.'e were babies, bat we seemed to know, somehow, for mofher'ssake We mu.-t help to heat' a harden which wo eon!.! not comprehend, And our puny enus about her soem ! ed to strenirihen heraa 1 lend Her a strength no little bit o' mother could h ive sr.t elsewhere, As she toiled about the wash plaee with her heart bowed down with care. Some davs tasks seemcid overdreiry, tTtdthe hours seemed overlonr But slie'd cateh our eyes fixed on her and would tremble into song. But the world of heartbreak throb bias? thro' tha counterfeited jov Somehow would piny on the heart- strings of the little frirl and boy And the little baby sister, aad we'd ennirirle face to face. Heart to heart, her arms about us kneeling p.t the old wash place. Then one mornim; c imo a vnessaure enmein with the morninj's fleam How it came is lot or hidden in the shadows of the dream. But. with it hope went out from her, and she septned to hark 110 mora For a voice aeros :1m distance, for a, footstep nt the door; And she kneeled there in the wash place, kneeled with sistergirl and me. And 1 know now that, moment was her souls Gethseinane! Then the washings came more often, there were other heaps of clothes; Day by day the clouds of sudsy steam from the old kettle rose, Day by day her love grew stronger in the worry and the smart Of her heartache she would rush to and wouid clasp us to her heart, And she'd strive to coax lier lips to curve into a snatch of sont; But the wash place called and called her, and its tasks were hard and lonjr. Not ioua since I heard a women say, in sneering tones and low: "Huh! his mother did our washing, my own mother told me so!" Whiter than the dogwood blossom sweeter than it e'er could be Shone the truth of that vile whisper, fondie did it-all forme, And for sister airl and baby! Uh, the whisper it was base! But a soul was born to heaven lroiu that lowly old wash place. Why, it doesn't :ieem that mother was quite crown upwl'eu site died! Such a little bit o' mother Oh, the years re lent? and wide Siuee she went away and left us, with the old smile on her face, Leaving us but just a memory of the homely old wash place; I know father beckoned to her by the look that overcast Her Bweet face but we still miss her, shall as lony; as life shall last.
