(Continued rrom rage One.)
way from cowboy, post rider, and
newspaper man in Texas to his life
■work in the Episcopal Church in the
frozen North. As Archdeacon of the
! Yukon. Stuck in 1917 established St.
■ Stephen's hospital at Fort Yukon,
ap'd through that unpretentious inst
itution was instrumental in saving
the Jives of hundreds of Indians and
j Eskimos and of a few white men of
a dozen nationalities to whom ihe
J little log hospital was the one haven
i of safety and succor within a radius
- of 1.000 miles of Arctic wilderness.
During his career in Alaska,
StiKdt covered thousands of miles In
his ^Journeys iby dogsled and motor
launch and often afoot, ministering
to his charges and noting by the
way those details which, in “Ten
Thousand Miles With a Dogsled,”
“Voyages on the Yukon and Its Tri
jibutarios” and “A Winter Circuit of
i Our Arctic Coast,” have been read by I
I thousands of lovers of the open road
and the upward trail. Dong before
■' his fame a^an exiplorer and an author
had spread over the civilized world
he had become known throughout the
territory for his humanitarian work,
> and it is chiefly as the missionary
and friend of the native that he Is
known in that region today.
When he died two years ago and
was buried, according to his wish, in
the native graveyard not far from
the hospital and church which he
bad established, the natives Erected
a cross over the hillock, which Is
today their shrine. Stuck to them
was a “dry wood" man. Among the
Siwash, the aviso man irl making
camp selects instead of green or
soggy timber that which Is dry and
seasoned and will therefore burn
long and furnish both light attd heat.
So in the Takuah language of the
Yukon the natives praying at the
grave of Stuck say of Kim tlint “His
light 'burns 'brightly and won’t go
out”
■Not content with the rross which
marks his grave, the natives at a
recent meeting determined' to enlarge
and improve the hospital which he
founded and make It a permanent
memorial to him. There were Eski
mos, Indians, trappers, traders and
miners prosont at the meeting, as
well as representatives from the ad
jacent posts of the Presbyterian, Ho
man Catholic, Methodist and Baptist
churches, in all about 30 or 40 men
and within 40 minutes $1,760 was
subscribed toward the fund of 125,000
necessary for the purpose. Since
then contributions received In sums
■from 25 cents to $10, and coming
mostly from the natives, have swelled
the amount to $D>000.

Shanghai harbor
Improved steamship facilities
bring the Orient as near as many
parti of Europe. In fact, it is no
more of a jaunt to Shanghai than
it is to Mediterranean pcrts, and
the -tcamers that ply the Pacific
are as good as the best afloat. The
“Empress of Russia” of the Can
dian Pacific Oriental fleet, has the
record for crossing the mightiest
of oceans from Vancouver, B. C.,
to Yokohama in considerably less
time than nine Jays—to be exact,
8 days, 18 hours and 31 minut
from Yokohama to William Head.
Victoria. This record is rivaled
only by the other steamers of the
Canadian Pacific, which are con
ceded to be the biggest and fastest
on the Pacific.
Shanghai, the chief port of all
China and the one through which
moat of the tremendous tide of
traffic with the Celestial Republic
flows, is a big humming city, the
smallest part of which is foreign.
This part, although small in num
bers, is very influential in the trade
of China and the Orient Every
nation cn the globe is represented
in this city, although the British
and Americans have a bit of the
best of the situation. Hugo
Stinnes, the great German mag
nate, is a very important business
faetor there. He has in his China
Company a east enterprise which
m steadily groiflng in importance.

of ft* Vaceller for months if he

exchange speculators dash from
bank to bank in one-horse Victorias
and have the right of way of the
traffic. On time hang their profits.
Exchange is such a changeable
quantity in the Fa> East that
profits, made on fractions of cenV.,
rise and fall with lightning ra
pidity, depending, of course, on
trade’s supply and derriand.
Rickshas, to be had for small
silver pieces, dash in and out among
the heavily burdened Chinese cool
ies and the closed chairs, of shel
tered and rich Manrhu ladies of
high estate. Automobiles vie with
the human horses for business.
Mandarins in their Oriental garb
and Europeans and Americans in
Occidental attire throng the Streets.
Sikh policemen in turbans and
military uniforms, as w$ll as Chi
nese police in mushroom-shaped
hats of straw and blue uniforms,
keep the peace.
The streets are dense with a
most cosmopolitan crowd which
keeps flowing from early morning
to late at night. The shops are
wonderful and are filled with goods
that are*the envy of all women.
The Bund looks out ^n a harbor
fiMcd with sea craft of all shapes
and sizes. Sampans, Chinese junks,
ocean tramps and trim liners fill
I the space'. Chinese families in
i thousands spend their lives on the
sea, coming to land only to sell
their products—mostly sea food—
and get supplies.
China's railways center :n
Shanghai and from here wonderful
train and boat trips are possible.
Pekin, the gorges ofthe Yang-tse
! kiang, even Mongone and Man
churia, with far away Korea and
Siberia, are within rail and steamer
connection with Shanghai.
Sturdy Mongolian and Tartar
ponies are imported from the north
for racing. These are hard looking
animals when they arrive in
Shanghai, but with care and atten
tion they beeome very creditable
in appearance.- Horse racing is $erf
pnpttla, in China and 'Shanghai has
what has been termed the richest
course in the world. Polo, golf,
te.inis and all of the games known
to Europeans and Americans, be
sides a few unknown to either, are
to be found here.
