found about five miles south if here
uader a mesqnite bash and from ap
peararces has been head tor about ten
days or two weeks, Could find no
papers of any kind to as to establish
Ms Identity. He must have been an
Amerioan from the looks of remnanrs
of olothes, etc. The body had been all
eaten np by birds. There was nothing
left exoept the skeleton. He most
have been quite a large man, probably
five feet teu or eleven inches. The on-
ly money found was a five dollar gold
piece and a Mexican one cent piece at d
that was found lyin* on the ground.
Did not find anything in his pockets.
He was probably shot as there was a
hole in the third rib on left eide from
top. He had good sonnd teeth and
from the oolor of his hair was not an
old man. Yonr paper will probably
be able to find out who he was. Any
other information you may wish, I will
be glad to give if I oan. Yours truly,
Albert Kuhn.
Anyone desiring to see the artioles
sent oan see them at the Times office.
It is hoped in this way to establish the

Seeing himself on the brink of an
n ihilation, he thought to regain favor
and make an enviable reputetion by
tnrning the missionaries out. It was
afterwards learned, moreover, that he
had secret Instructions to that effect.
All kind of outrageous stories about
missionaries were olroalated among the
people for the pnrpose of securing
their oo opera lon. The missionaries
had built a hospital in Chang To, a ow
destroyed, at considerable cost. A
placard was posted up, declaring the
foreigners fried ohlldren for the oil in
them. A request was made that these
placards be torn down and a few were
torn down.
For three hoars daring the raid the
missionaries bad waited in terror,

Nearly everybody is familiar in one
language or another with the famous
old German couplet attributed to Mar-
tin Luther, and which literally and
properly translated into English is as
follows:
Who loms not wine, wife anrl song
Remains a fool Ins whole life long.
This supposed sentiment of the great
reformer has boon quoted thousands of
times as his, and its authenticity was
not questioned. But now comes a very
competeut authority—The Lutheran Ob-
server—and stoutly insists that Luther
never wrote the lines, and that, in fact,
they made their first appearance more
than 200 years after las d -a'h.
According to The Observer, in the
year 1777 a well known German poet,
John Henry Vo.-s, published at Ham-
burg a small volume entitled “Musen-
almanach (“The Almanac of the
Muses’’). At the end of one of the
poems in this book lie placed the coup-
let in German:
Wcr nicht liebt wein, writ- nnd gesang
Dtr bleibt ein narr sein lebenlang.
To this effusion Voss affixed the name
of Luther. This caused a good deal of
comment and excitement. Voss was a
candidate for the position of teacher in
the Hamburg gymnasium. The Luther-
an pastors of the city protested against
his appointment because Luther was not
the author of “the couplet’’ which had
been attributed to him, and because
Voss had thus made Luther encourage
intemperance. But in spite of all that
could be done in the way of denial and
explanation the lines literally clung to
the great name and refused to bo sepa-
rated, and we venture to say that com-
paratively few down to the present day
ever doubted that Luther was their real
author.
As the couplet expresses the convivial
sentiments of many Germans it is prob-
able that it was a common piece of un-
writton German folklore oven before
Luther s time. Borne English writers
have made the linos into a bacchana
rhyme, with a sinister moaning, but the
true version, coupling “wino, wife anil
song,” expresses the prevailing senti-
ment and custom among Germans in
taking their wives and children with
them to the gardens and other social re-
sorts for recreation and amusement.
