If John Chinaman is to be kept
out of this country, United States
Judges will have to stop rendering
decisions like that given by Judge
Hanford the other day. Heretofore
the practice has been that every Ce-
lestial who came straying in here
across the Canadian frontier in open
violation of the exclusion act should
be seized and sent back to China, his
original point Oh departure. Now
Judge Hanford claims that the in
truder can be returned TO Canada only
as the "place whence he came" John
will like nothing better than this.
He will cross the frontier twenty times
monthly, and enjoy it, if an obliging
Uncle Sam will but return him to
the Northwestern backwoods instead
of to the far land of chopsticks and
pigtails.

THE Irrigation Age seems disposed
to carry the war into Africa" as one
means of bearing down opposition to
the proposal to cultivate the waste
places in the interior of this CONT
nent. An article in its latest num-
Der asks "Will the time ever come
when the States Of the Atlantic will
irrigate?" and leads up to the infer
ence that it will. 1t makes the point
that skillful irrigation means gener-
ally control of the water, and excels
all tillage without 1t almost as much
as good tillage excels no cultivation.
People forget that the cradle Of civ
ilization, the nursery Of art, litera-
ture, architecture and eloQuence, and
the first great seats of empire and
wealth were in the irrigated lands.
The earlier migrants to this com
try came from the cold and IA ny
parts Of Europe, and settled on he
cold and rainy portions of the Att; n
tic coast. Had they come from the
south Of France, and settled instead
on the Pacific coast, developing all
water resources as the tide III popula-
tion moved eastward, conditions
would have been very different from
what they are now. Many years ago
there were men who concluded it was
cheaper to lead out water upon land
that lay all ready for the pillow, use it
when needed, and keep it off when
not wanted, than IL was TO hew down
a forest, dig out the stumps, and see
crops lost one year with too much
rain and the next year with not
enough moisture. They have had
many imitators, and in future ages
must have so many more as to yindi-
cate beyond the shadow of doubt
the wisdom of the course. Irrigated
lands have supported the worlds
greatest populations, and the exper-
fence of ages has proved that an acre
Of land properly treated with water
from ditch will produce far more
than an acre that is dependent upon
capricious rainfall. Those who irri-
gate in parts Of France and Italy
where the rainfall is greatest know
right well what they are doing, and
there are thousands of places in the
United States where the people will
do the same thing before the lapse of
another century. 1t is in this way
that the food problem Of the future
must be solved.

A Broken Heart.

There are cases on record where the
death of a horse has been traced di-
rectly to grief. One instance is re-
lated which occurred some time since.
A circus had been performing in
little country town, when one OF the
trained horses sprained one Of his
legs, so that he could not travel. He
was taken to hotel and put in box
stall. The leg was bandaged, and he
was made as comfortable as possible.
He ate his food, and was apparently
contented until about midnight, when
the circus began moving out of town.
Then he became restless, and tramped
and whinnied. As the caravan moved
past the hotel he seemed to realize
that he was being deserted, and his
anxiety and distress became pitiful.
He stood with his ears pricked up, in
an attitude of intense listening, and
then, as his ears caught the sound of
the retiring wagons, he rushed, as
best he could with his injured leg,
from one side of the stall to the 9TH
er, pushing at the door with his nose,
and making every effort to escape.
The stableman, who was stranger
to him, tried to soothe him. But he
would not be comforted. Long after
all the sounds OF the circus had ceased
his agitation continued. The sweat
poured from him in streams, and he
quivered in every part Of his body.
house, woke up the proprietor, and
told him that he believed the horse
would die if some of the circus horses
were not brought back to keep him
company.
At about daylight the proprietor
mounted horse and rode after the
circus. He overlook it ten or twelve
miles away, and the groom who had
had charge of the injured horse re-
turned with him. When they reached
the stable the horse was dead. The
stableman said that he remained for
nearly an hour perfectly still, and
with every sense apparently strained
to the utmost tension, and then,
without making sign, fell and died
with scarcely struggle.

He Would Do.

Merchants, of all men, appreciate
qualities which bring success-tact,
energy, courage, industry, quickness
and a readiness in suiting means to
ends. An exchange prints story,
which may be new or old, truth or
fiction, but which is not incredible in
itself, while 1t illustrates in striking
way the spirit and method Of a born
man of business. A country boy went
to New York, with no friends and
little money, determined to make his
way in the world. In the course of
his looking about he wandered into
slower Wall street." and walked into
the store of va Co. Mr.. W
was busy and the boy waited. At
last the frank, bright face of the
stranger attracted the merchants at
tention.
"Well, my boy" said he. what
can do for you?"
Il want place, sir"
What can you do?"
The boy answered eagerly:
Most anything, SIR"
Partly in joke, perhaps, and partly
TO rid himself OF an almost too con-
fldent applicant, Mr.. W said:
"Ah, ah! Well, just go out and
borrow me couple of thousand dol
lars"
The lad put on his hat, walked out
of the store, and passed slowly down
Front street till he came to another
large store in the same line of bust
ness. The firm was probably well ac-
quainted with W & Co., the boy
said to himself, and with bold but
honest look he walked in and accosted
the man who seemed to be the head
of the concern.
~Mr. W, of W & Co., sent
me down TO borrow two thousand
ale did, my son? How is business
up at your placer"
The boy, who had seen an appear
ance of large shipments, answered
promptly:
"Very good, SIR
1.-TWO thousand, did you say? Will
that be enough?"
"Well. two thousand is all he told
me, but il you have plenty think he
would like it if you sent him three
Thousand.
"Give this boy check for three
thousand dollars in favor of W
& Co." said the man to his cashier.
A few minutes later the boy walked
into Mr., VS. office and handed
him the check.
"Here it is, sir" said he, with an
air of having done an errand in the
ordinary course of business.
Mr.. W looked at the check and
then at the boy.
young man." said he, "come in
here; you are just the man l have
been looking for" and he gave him a
desk and set him to work.

and Arson tells him TO sacrifice"
that man does his best to carry OFT
orders. When told to wait for four
balls the aspiring colt who may be
longing to fatten his batting average
sacrifices his ambition to his cap
tain's command. Then there can be
no Sinking or playing off" under
Anson's eagle eye. He can tell at a
glance if one of his men is
not playing his best. Then that
man gets such "call down" and
such a corpulent fine that he is
seldom in a hurry to repeat the Of
Tense. This is just where Arson has
such big advantage over most cap
tains. The majority Of the League
teams are made up Of "stars" who
have won fame and are popular favor
ties. They think they "know it all"
and will follow no dictates but their
own sweet will. The result is that
each plays as he likes, and as there is
a wide divergence of opinion among
them as to how the game should be
played, chaos usually follows and the
"stars" are beaten by the fledgelings,
and everybody wonders why this is
thus"
Capt. Arson was in the Chicago
Club when the League was organized
in 1876. He is without question the
best average batter in the League,
having stood first in the list of bat
tiers three times and second five
times. He has never stood lower
than sixth place during his connection
with the League. He is a big, pow
erful fellow physically, standing six
feet two inches tall and weighing 21S
pounds.
