SAVED BY QUICK WIT i Dr. W. H. Park Escapes Death at Hand of Fanatics Spmetimes the lives of misionaries are not as quiet and colorless as the ordinary layman would im agine. Here is a little story that has just leaked back about Dr. W. H. Park, a medical missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, stationed at Soochow Hospital in China. Dr. Park was recently in an uprising which occurred in Soochow. The populace became very much aggrieved at missionaries in general and a little project was imminent to behead all "foreigners" found in the city. Things were really serious and the streets became full of Bolsheviki looking Chinamen. It was essential for this particular missionary to answer an emergency call which took him through 'one of the narrow streets filled with the threatening crowd, but, as he had given relief to many in that district whenever help was necessary, he thought he might dare to go on his errand without the chance of being beheaded. But the order had gone out that all "foreigners" should be summarily dealt withahd he took a long chance in the going. He made his trip in one of the qugunt ilittle covered jinrikishes so intimately associated with China, and for several blocks he managed to get through undisturbed. However, a mass of yelling "heathen" at the intersection of one of the streets finally called his "chauffeur" to stop the "cab" and five or six dived frantically forward to remove the incumbent therein. "Take the foreigner out Take the foreigner out!" came in Chinese lingo from dozens of voices. But the man who had pulled back the curtains of the Chinese "taxicab" dropped them as quickly as they were lifted, shrugged his shoulders in good Chinese style, and called back in the language which Dr. Park understood very well, after many years sojourn in China: "It's no foreigner in there. He's TV- Dr. -T, > juai i/x a ai iv. As this particular missionary happens to be an unusually blonde son of America, he said he felt verymuch flattered that the yellow folks of Soochow reallv accepted him as a "brother." o f THE NEW REVENUE D. C. Heywarvi, Collector of Internal Revenue has given to the taxpayers and public the following information with reference to the sections of the new revenue bill wfiicft oecame enecuve. aiay isw, 1919.

On what is commonly known as soft drinks compounded and mixed at or in close proximity to Soda Fountains of other similiar places of business including ice cream, etc. The tax is one cent on each sale of ten cents or less and if above ten cents one cent on each ten cents or fraction part thereof.
