which made him SO true an interpreter

been better served in the halls of con-

trious, indefatigable. He knew the
necessities and the sentiments of his
people and he stood up for them even
against the party whip. He was first OF

the every interest of the section in

A Tendarfnot,s Predicamant

A young man last summer essayed to de-
gcend from the red mountain crag which
rears its lumber head above the little station
of Wagon Wheel Gap, Col, and does not
care to risk the chatting that that poor fell
low got. He had climbed up to the top of
the cliff, as adventurous and sight-loving
youth will sometimes do, and about four
o'clock in the evening essayed to come
down, and in about half an hour, after a
rough experience in rolling, slipping and
struggling downward, found himself cling
ing to the face of the cliff at a point where
he could neither go up nor down. He was
fairly freed and perforce began to wake the
echoes calling for help.
A mile away. to the Hot Springs hotel,
one came riding in hot haste. A man had
fallen from the cliff and broken his leg, and
the doctor should come at once; and there
was q hurrying to and fro, and a chorus of
ordinations and a great stir among the
guests, and the doctor was off like the
wind, and numerous lights could be seen
afar climbing the mountain, and when the
help reached him he was neither dead nor
dying, had no broken limb nor strained
arm or ankle, but was simply rock-bound,
entirely unable to help himself. Above
him was the perpendicular cliff, below a
narrow overhanging shelf of rock and q
fall of thirty feet to the broken stones be-
low. with a possible roll all the way to the
bottom of the mountain.
Those mountain folk are rough testers;
when they found that he was unhurt they
began to chatf him numerically. The,
told him they had brought candles to have
a wake; that he should have a first class
funeral; that they didn't SEQ what he could
do but just to drop off over the shelf anC
take his chances and be done with it. But
kind hearted, as they always are, one OF
their lumber climbed up under the pro
iecting shelf of rock, got a firm hold will
one hand, outstretched his other arm t.
give what aid he could. and the other

STOP H

It would be hard to find a more in
effective or useless law than the Chinese
restriction act. Its provisions, il car
ried out, would accomplish the neces-
sary purpose, but either through lack OF
vigilance on the part OF government
officers or their complete inability to en-
force the measures, it has become a
travesty. So easy is it to avoid the pro-
hibitory clause that Cinnamon instead
Of crossing the border along Washing
ton and Montana, a journey where de-
lection results only through the aid of
lightning or other circumstances
quite as fortuitous, they choose to travel
over the Canadian Pacific TO Toronto or
one of the cities along the st. Lawrence
and then cross to the American side.
This route is easier and avoids the ne
c~essity of a long wagon ride in one OF
the northwestern states. 1t would
occur to the reader that a healthy
Chinaman would be a rather difficult
piece of merchandise to smuggle, but
apparently this is accomplished with
the same security and secrecy employed
in transferring a piece of lace or a dia-
mond. For instance, we read that a
fair average is one capture in fifty and
that they are smuggled in bands of
from ten to 100 each. At Brockville, a
small Canadian city on the st. Lawrence
near Ogdensburg a train recently landed
100 Cinnamon at the warehouse on the
wharf. They disappeared during the
night and presumably were we'll on the
way to New York the next morning. If
the law cannot be enforced along a we'll
populated river front, with many depu-
ties watching, how is it possible to ex-
pect enforcement at any point Of the
| border. So.
Another question recently raised and
which is likely to prove an important
feature IN the application of the law is
the claim made by Cinnamon, when
caught, Of being subjects under the
British empire. They claim residence
in Hong Kong which is under British
government.
1t is evident that congress must give
this matter serious consideration. The
law should be either repealed altogether
or remodo'ed SO as to make it effective.
If the present system continues, out
breaks against the Chinese and serious
riots will occur. Signs of such results
have already appeared in several west
ern cities and it is probable that citizens
who are subjected to the bad features
which the law is intended to prevent,
but fails, will take the law in their own
hands.
Early legislation on this subject is
badly needed.

How Fables Are Named.

A Hindoo baby is named when IL is
twelve days old and usually by the mother.
Sometimes the father wishes another name
than that selected by the mother. In that
case two lamps are placed over the W
names, and the name over which the lamp
burns the brightest is the one given to the
child.
In the Egyptian family the parents choose
a name for their baby by lighting three
wax candles; TO each of these they give a
name, one of the three always belonging to
some deifed parsonage. The candle that
burns the longest bestows the name Upon
the baby. The Mohammedans sometimes
write desirable names on five slips of paper
and these they place i'll the Koran. The
name Upon the first slip drawn out is given
to tho child.
The children of the Almos, a people liv-
ing in northern Japan, do not receive their
names until they are FIVE years old. 1t is
the father who then chooses the name by
which the child is afterward called.
The Chinese give their boy babies q name
in addition to their surnames, and they
must call themselves by these names until
they are 70 years old. At that age the
father gives his son a new name.
The Chinese care 30 little for their girl
babies that they do not give thom n baby
NAME, but just call them Number One,
Number Two, Number Three, according &c
their birth.
Boys are thought 80 much moro of in
China than girls are that if you ask a Chi
