be wished. Mary was dark and dirt!
but she was A hustler, and It w2s du
Gay when she couldn't steal enough Goa
to make a dollar, and of course was a
temIting bait to TO tune-hunting braves
with d title. Chiefs Sherum and Walla-
PAL Charlie were both anxious to add TO
their harem and spe nding money and
haetenad to lay down their titles at her
feet. But Mary was not dazZled by
these hattering offers, but gave her
young heart and daily earnings into the
keeping Of Piseula, poor but proud
young man, who owned nothing but an
enormous capacity for the targlefGot of
the pale face and few leisurely habits.
Mary has since regretted tier rash step,
and with the assistance OF her old ad-

the ties which caafe. Sherum will no
doubt be rewarded for his consistency
with the fair hand of the grass widow

Tho Rannhar,s Happy Day.

The rain has come and the rancher is
glad, and of course everybody having
more less remote business connection
with him rejoices also.
Wednesday morning the clouds looked
threatening and were watched hope
fully but rather doubtfully. Several
times before they have looked as though
they we're willing and really to drop their
bounty to dry and needy earth, and
away they went. But this time
they were in earnest, About O'Clock
it began to fall, in fine spray and as
though meaning business. More or less
systematically it rained that day. The
streets grew muddy but. nobody MINDED
that. Roofs leaked but who cared! The
rain, the first of any account for four
months was come and little lnconven-
fences did not signify.
At 3 o'clock twenty -six-hundredJhs

night it descended, and yesterday uorn-
eighty five-hundredths had arrived. 10

CHINESE NEW YEAR.
The Ceiestials enjoy Themselves Al
SO Their Leap Year-A Long June.

Rat-tat- tat bang !Rat-tat-tat-bang!
The peaceful slum bers of the vicinity
north of Congress street and west Uf
Stone avenue were harrOwingiy dis
turbed last night. The Chinese had be-
gun celebration of their New Year and it
was worse than forty Fourth of Julys
or an army of small boys.
Chinatown this morning was keeping
up the din in another form. A visit TO
their Joss house on Pearl street located
the racket. Up stairs they We're, two
Cinnamon, one. pounding sort OF OBJ
long kettle, the other clashing two IND
mense cymbals together. Before the NJ
was table covered with various devices,
with tapers burning in the rear. The
Cinnamon sighted the intruders and
smiled in a rather shame-faced fashion
and stopped a minute. Then they
looked determined and began again.
I he racket was horrible. 1t was deaf
ening, and could be heard all over the
city.
Chan Tin Wo. the grocer, puts
a little light on the celebration. He
says that Chinese years are figdred from
away back five or six thousand years ago.
To figure cut the present one would he
tedious task.
He says the fire crackers and gongs
compare with the celebration of the
American Fourth of July. No, he said,
it was not ceremony, only lust for
fun" The Chinese keep it as holiday.
They have fine dinners, where all JOIN
in festivities, wish each other good luck
for the coming year and celebrate gen
orally.
Speaking of their division of time, Mr..
Wosays that spring begins in China in
five days from now. They have leap
year and on a grand scale. Instead of
an extra day every four years they have
a whole month extra, every three years.
Their months are of twenty nine or
thirty days each, none of greater length,
until the leap year period. Think o: a
month of tifty-ni ne days! That is just
what next June will have, according to
the Chinese calender.
