TsE CHINESE QUESTION.
Some Novel Suggestions in Connection
With It's Solution.

With It's Solution.
EDS. RECORD Z MON: As a traveller in
northern California and an observer of cur
rent events, | have become very much
interested in the Chinese question. 1t is
truly a problem to get people out of a
country they have legal right to stay in
as long as they are peaceable citizens. l be-
lieye boycotting is good plan, but, in my
opinion, it will fall short of the desired re-
suit People will always be found who
will take sides with the under dog III a
fight. And, then, there is phase of this
question that has not been spoken of yet
by any of your correspondents. If the
Chinese are Objectionable as peaceable,
Woodworking inhabitants, what will you
do if you make tramps and vagabonds of
them? They. have no fear of the law, and
in their own country they stand them up
in row and cut off their cues, with their
head fastened to it, for trifling offenses.
VIII it be good plan to take away all
means of earning a living from the Chi
neSe and turn them loose to get their sub
Sistence in some other way? In driving
from Oakland to Siskiyou, and over the
Sierra Neyadas into Plumas and Lassen
counties during the past year, believe |
have passed at least 500 men on the
road-tramps, most of them. Many of the
ranchers tell me that they always keep
bread and meat ready to feed any who ask
for it, that they consider it much cheaper
to feed them than it is 10 put up new
buildings. This is bad state of affairs,
and ought not to be- but it can be made
worse if you run out the Chinese who are
now employed in the towns and force
them to become tramps. You will lower
the value of every acre of ground in Cali
fornia and the rancher's life viii become
2 burden TO him, and the final result
will be that, after having made US suffer IN
various ways, John will still be here, and
much greater nuisance than he is now
Boycotting is a good plan if it can be
adopted all over the State at the same time.
Spasmodically in spots, it is q damage, and
will retard rather than accelerate the de-
parture of the Chinese from this coast.
Did any one ever think that, as most of
the Chinese here are slaves, a good way to
reach them would be through their mas
tiers. l don't mean by violence, but in
other ways. In my opinion the Chinese
question to US is wholly one of dollars and
cents, and it won't bankrupt us either.
have been thinking of several ways that
would not cost us more than dollar
apiece to get every Chinaman out OF the
United States. Secretary Seward bought
Alaska for Uncle Sam for eight millions
We can easily get along without it. Sup
pose California appoints Commissioners to
buy it from Uncle Sam, and then empowers
these Commissioners to make terms with
the Emperor of China. Sell him Alaska
(for more than we give for it, of course),
and have it in the bargain that he is to call
every Chinaman in the United States back
to China. The Chinese will colonize Alas
ka, and develop it cheaper THAI We can,
and it would add to the wealth of the world
without being any damage to us.

The fatal rapidity with which slight
Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the gravest maladies of the throat

llmpei every prudent person to keep at

AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.
Nothing else gives such immediate relief
and works so sure a cure in all affections
OF this class. That eminent physician,
Prof. f. Sweetzer, of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, Me-, says =
"Medieal science has produced no other ano-
dyne expectorant so good as AYERS CHERRY
PEcToRAL. Ii is invaluable for diseases of the
throat and lungs"
The same opinion is expressed by the
Well-l>nown DIR. l.. j. Addison, of Chicago,
H., who says
81 have never found, in thirty-fve years of
continuous study and practice of medicine, any
preparation of so great value as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL, for treatment of diseases of the
throat and lungs. 1t not only breaks up colds
and cures severe coughs, but is more effective
than anything else in relieving even the most
serious bronchial and pulmonary affections"

Principal decided to introduce some old

the happy results. One bright lad, the
smartest in school, discovered the secret

AYERS
Cherry PeCtoral

Is not new claimant for popular conf
dence, but a medicine which is to-day
saving the lives of the third generation
who have come into being since it was
first offered to the public.
There is not household in which this
invaluable remedy has once been in
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not person
who has ever given it a proper trial
for any throat or lung disease suscep-
tibe of cure, who has not been made
well by it.
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Laryngitis.
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t is
medicine that only requires TO be taken in
small doses, is pleasant to the taste, and is
needed in every house where there are
children, as there is nothing so good as
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL for treat
ment of Group and Whooping Cough.

FOR BREAD.

"Thou art not for the fashion of these times,
when none will sweat but for promotion.'1 As
You Like 1t.
These be but hooking parrots that impugn
As low the motives of the toiling slave
Who sings monotonous, one changelesS tune,
Just daily bread from cradle until grave,
Clutching with eager hand the price of toll,
With bleeding fingers conquering the soil.
High soaring art perforce must soon alight
And lift the trencher in the palette's place,
And poesy, with wings and bays bedight
With simple broth is glad to smear its face
While mounting couplets swallowing the peas,
It's wreath of bays laid o'erit ragged knees.
The paste art that molds the matchless form
Turns stone to bread. the Tempter's old-time
wish,
With words of fire the ranter's heart grows
That tongues of eloquence may lick dish;
When hearts are full the stomach need not lack
And clothing thoughts in words may clothe
your back.
Commercial enterprise" they call the thrift
That launches merchantmen on every sea-
The flags of conquest that the yictors lit
Lie CANDY trademarks always look to me.
Our land discovered in search for gold
Makes fancy falter and romance grow cold.
Seraphic voices coin their note in gold;
They have, 20 wonder. metallic ring;
Angelic features line by liue are sold:
God-given talents go for what they bring.
50 spare your bushes, they're not in demand
The Mongol dreams his stomach is his heart,
And gastric juices cause emotions sweet:
Dyspepsia hath a power We know to thwart
Mans higher promptings, and his plans de-
feat:
Napolean fulfilled IS brave at jena,
While torpid vtals kill at St. Helena
The actors mouthings on and at the board,
The Generals sortie on the food and field
The legislators bills of fare and dishes scored
viii grandest victories and glories yield.
The worlds great crisis comes in some sad hour,
Because some King eats biscuits that are sour.
Internal discord, fratricidal war
Spring from higher price of wheat or corn
tax on tea IS deemed worth fighting for,
And great republics are in teapots born.
MansanielloS voice had still been mute
Had hot some tyrants stopped the sale of fruit
Then deck the oven with a wheaton wreath,
All hail the rotund loaf and hard brown crust
A good digestion and sound set of teeth,
The nations safeguard and the people, trust
Give us the dinner gong for wars alarms,
And clash of knife and fork for clash of arms.

where it was. :" In my stocking" she re-
piled at the same time reaching down and

THE OLDEST MAN IN KENTUCKY.-Asa
Emerson is 102 years old. He lives at No
$40 Ninth street with a few members of his
family, and is in very low state of health
Mr.. Emerson was born where Lexington
now is. His parents came from old Eir-
ginia, and died at a very old age Fifty
four years ago he removed to this city, and
has since made it his home. He is man
of very large frame, and when in ordinary
health weighed 30 pounds. For the last
twenty years he has been declining, though
his general health has been remarkable for
one SO old. In 1916 he was shot in the left
shoulder in personal difficulty at Union
town, Ky, and the wound has troubled
him somewhat ever since, producing par
tial paralysis of that side. For ten DAYS
Mr.. Emerson has been confined 10 his bed,
and is not expected to recover. His death
at any hour would not be surprise. The
aged man has been an inveterate user of
tobacco, both as a chewer and smoker,
since his boyhood. Though he was never
drunk in his life, Mr.. Emerson took an oc-
casional dram. His memory up to short
time ago was remarkably clear and accu-
rate. He was always very reticent and
quiet, and never had an extended list of ac-
quaintances. He is receiving every atten-
ton in his declining hours.-[ Louisville

Since the marriage of the once Sarah

lawyers as well as respectable peo-
pie are in quandary as to how TO desig-
nate the lady plaintiff in discussing the
many and complicated phases of the cause

Terry, or Mrs. Judge Terry-if you like
but in discussing the case people find it
difficult as to whether they shall speak of
her as Miss Hill, Mrs. Sharon or Mrs. Hill

goes into Court, opposing counsel will
certainly not permit him to say Sarah

The Art of Cracking Hickory Nuts.

81 understand that there is quite q
science in cracking nutsP'
"There certainly is. and there is
some difference of opinion as to the
best method of doing il. l got my ex-
pericncc ia this business when l was a
boy in Westminster Co., N. Y. Iguess
that there are more crack hickory nut
crackers in that section than anywhere
else. Thirty or forty years ago the.
folks had nut-cracking matches up
here. While sitting around big fire
in q farmhouse kitchen they cracked
the nuts. eating the meats with apples
and cider. They threw the shells in
the fire. The shells burn very briskly,
and when they are charred glow like
rubies. Lots of queer stories are told
about the old hickory nut time. When
l was boy my mother, who was born
in Westchester County, told me about
an cd man who lived in little house
in the woods, and who during the
whole winter sat by the fire and crack
ed aud ate nuts. He cracked SO many
nuts, they say, that he required no 9TH
er fuel tnan the shells to keep the fire
going l can't swear that he did not
use any other fuel but the nut-shells,
but there is no doubt about his having
existed. for my mother often saw his
house"
What do you think the best waya"
'Ihe one that was always the easiest
for me was to take hammer and a
nice round cobblc stone. These secur-
ed, you take hold of the nut between
the thumb AMI foreiinger of the left
hand and rest the side of the nut on the
surface OF the stone. Hold the nut
firmly, and then give it a sharp blow
with the hammer. If you hold the nut
right and strike it right the kernel will
come out in two pieces. Some persons
prefer block of hard wood to stone,
and some use a Hat iron. y Cincinnati
