8 Spread of Bubonic Plague ? -Now Infests the Whole World. Washington, Sept. 6.?Surgeoii General Wym*n of the public heal '> and marine hos pital service has issued in pamphlet form ot a paper prepared by Assistant Surgeon J. M. Eaget giving a history of the spread ol bubonic plague during the last i - VT _ i.. .1 .. lour yeais. r*o ?iuuy prenviiiM more important and difficult sanitary problems, Dr. Eaget says, than the lines of march taken by bubonic plague during the period mentioned in its advance Irom the remote endemic tocus of the dise ?se in 'tie prov nee o! Yunnan, China, to the numerous countries in all quarters of the jJobe, where, in many instances, it has established itself in defiance of the most carefully planned preventive measures. The revival ot the plague Dr. Daget says, dates from 1894, when, escaping from the western Chinese province of Yunnam, it readied Canton. In 1900 the plague was present ill every quarter of the world. The Philippine islands were in eluded 111 the march ot tho dis ease, 150 deaths occurring at Manila. The most notable fact in tho history ot the pleague in the western world was the appearance of 22 latal c;nes in San Francisco. In 1901, in India a great augmentation took place, until in 1004 plague caused the death ot over J ,000,000 persons in India alone and opi 'einic prevailed to a greater or less degree io nearly all parts of the world During ti.e year 19U7 156 cases of plague v\itli 70 deaths npimirroil in Sum K r.i iu'Wi'm T.'iim.i were also a few cases at Oak land and other close neighborhoods of San Francisco. At Seattle, Washington, three caes occurred last year. "Be Ye Holy in All Manner of Living." The following thoughtful ami well expressed paper was lead by Miss Ruby Elliott at a recent meeting of the Baptist Young People's Union and is cheerfully published at the request of the officers of I ho 1 nion: Tn )io ltrtltr tiio-i n j f r\ hn oah X '/ UO M i J JUVtuin t U wv * u??* secrated or set apart for some sacred use or service. A holy person is one who is free from sinful thoughts. words, dispositions and tempers?positively lie is pure in heart, right eon*. godly and religious. To he holy in all manner of living involves all the faculties of body and soul, and include* our thoughts, our words and our deeds. It is important that our thoughts be holy because tho Apostle says: <kA* a man think... l,. i m i; eul III HIS Iltjilrl h'l IS ill*.

If, therefore, we guard ayain-( -infol th ?uzht- w shut the door against wit' ed lives. Next our words should ho holy. Peter says: "He ye holy in ail manner of conversation." Negatively, our conversation should 1 ? i 1 ? ... _ A .. '1 ue iree irom ine jow aim ^nnnuin?r things ot life, and p 'sitively it should he upon those topics that are elevating, uplifting and improving. Finally, our deeds should he holy. Our mission in lite is not to he ministered unto, but to minister. Our lives theretore should he lives ot service to our /ellow creatures. We should feed the hungry, clothe the naked, care for the dying and visit them that are sick and in prison. Thus only do we fulfil the divine injunction: He ye holy in all manner of living. THE LA Taft Imitates Bryan?Nebraskan Sets the Pace for Others to Follow. Fairview, Lincoln, Neb. Sept. 6.?William J. Bryan left he re at 4 o'clock today over the Rock Island railroad tor Chicago and thus bt gan a three weeks' cam ! p&tgn tour winch will carry him into the Middle West, the Eas'| ern States and back through the! West in:o South Dakota before i re'urning home Perhaps no recent news afforded the Democratic candidate for president so much interest as the announcement that Mr. Taft proposed making a campaign tour. Mr. Hryan regarded his : opponent^ Uecision as a distinct vindication ot his course in the present as well as his two previous campaigns when lie tracked over the country and delivered political speeches. When asked it he ha 1 any comment to make on the subjoci Mr. Bryan sai?l: "Well, 1 <>m {letting a great deal ol consolation out of the way the president and Mr. Talt have been doing. I need to be called hard names because 1 advocated an income tax and now the income tax has been endorsed by the president and Mr. Taft, 1 used to be bitterly denounced because 1 favored railroad regulation.
