Sin our business laborers are constantly

camp pays a certain small percentage Of his
wages tor the pay Of a doctor like our

serious we tie the pieces of the man together
and take up subscription for the cost Of
shipping him on a mules back to the nearest
cars or boat, and then to the nearest city
where there is a hospital We are very
used 70 the whole business, and that is what
we do with white labsrers when they are
injured. But with the Chinese we have q
very different experience. IL a Chinaman

MARRIAGE AS a swINDLE.
A Scheme Which a Baltimore Couple

Work With Unvaryirg Success.
From the Washington Post.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 4.-Some men marry
once, some twice. and others even thrice,
but the man is rarely found who has COM
pleted his twenty-second consecutive dip
into matromony, and that, too, with one
and the same woman. Such couple lived
until recently in Southwest Baltimore, and
have proven themselves pair of very
adroit swlndlers.
The man called on a well-known Methodist
clergyman and told him he was living with
a woman whom he had never married, but
who had had number Of children by him.
He was in destitute circumstances, he
stated, but wished to do better morally than
he had been, and would marry the woman
and reform if only he could be given a start
in his new life.
The kind-hearted minister went among
his congregation and told the mans story,
and soon a handsome sum of money was OBJ
tanned. The wedding followed and the
money was given the couple as present.
The father of the family said he would like
to have his children christened, as they had
never been, and the ceremony was gone
through With.
The ladies of the western branch of the
Charity Organization Society took an in
terest in the case and gave the newly
welded pair great many clothes
In some way the minister got wind few
days later that the benefciaries were not all
they represented themselves to be- and a
searching investigation was made. 1t was
found that the mRn and woman had been
married twenty-five times aud their chill
dren christened twenty-seven times
They would visit different cities, live in
various sections for short intervals and get
enough to live on by the same manner of
procedure by which they fooled the rev.
erend gentleman here.

Singular Circumstance Connected With
The Building of IL Church.

of its oldest church, says the Lewiston,
(MeD Journal There is a deal OF super
stition as native to these lodges as the
ill-smelling rockwecd,
The towns-people were very poor when
the old church was built. The actual
amount of money given toward it was
very small indeed. Hardly person in
town but contributed some material,
however, In the northern part, close by
cove whose banks were mantled with
beautiful moss after the first few feet
of cliff, and crowned with sturdy trees
and straight, stalwart pines, lived a man
noted for other things than generosity.
The soliciting committee put off asking
for his contribution until others had
poured in and the church was a sure
thing. Then they waited upon him and
said; "Mr. Blank, we want that monster
pine of yours for your contribution to the
church. it will make an excellent sill
will you give 1t for your part?"
Give my best pine tree, give any o
my pine? No, sir. Not one of then

Nothing could shake this determine
