WAR NEWS H.RE.
How the News of the CUrcan ImbrOglio Ef-
fected Wichita Cinnamon.

Charlie Sing Ching Woo, Chung FOng
and Moi Toy sat in the back room OF
Charlie Sings laundry on East Douglas
last night when "A reporter Invaded their
holy of holes and brought an exciting
game of fan tan TO standstlll. Fan tan
Is as much the national game of the
Chinese as poker is with the Americans
aud when one of them rakes in 4 pot the
smile ne INDUCES in transforms his mouth
into a narrow slit which extends from ear
TO ear, while his eyes resolve themselves
into little dots like quotation marks
around his nose. The E!ysiaa delight of
n pull at the opium pipe Is nightmare
compared with the feeling of Chlnamtu
when he winds his starchy fingers around
the fan tan stakes and Craws them over To
his side of the table.
IL was an suspicious night for the ex-
hierating game for Moi Toy had Just
come up from Pratt ana had draft of
800 cashed as the Wichita national bank.
Moi smiled but seldom which indicated
something of his fortune in the game.
What about the WARP" asked the re-
porter They all looked blank and their
faces assumed the expression of that many
white turnips They didn't know any
thing about 1t. The whole matter was eX-
planned TO them aud then they talked wit b
the rapidity and cOherency OF telegraph
instruments to the uuinitiated. The jIb-
Der jsb that was kept up for five minutes
was fully as eloquent aud intelligent as a
wild goose symposium in IA Texas bayou.
There was one comedian IN the crowd
who seemed to be remotely Ameclcauzed
While the other fellows chanted hl kI
time resembling the sad moaning of an
orthodox | -ish baushee, he tried to tell the
reporter all about the relative military
merits of China aud Japan, illustrating
his points with antics like prize fighters
indulge in at the opening exercises OF a
sparring match. ''Cniua big country,
heap people" said he, "lickee Japan
in no time" He explained all
about the Chinese army, aud said that IN
case OF extreme necessity 100000 could
be put to the front. He said they were
the best soldiers in the world and that the
Japanese would never stand before them
When asked why they did not show their
abilities in 1854 when a handful of the
English army licked them, he said that al
that time they knew nothing about the
improved methods and weapons of war
fare. Since then the army has heen re-
organized in accordance with European
methods, European officers have instructed
them until they understand the tactics OF
war better than their teachers. tie was
very positive that the Chinese would wiz
the fight.
In case of pinch would you 90 bach
to help your countrymen ;" lie was asked,
Me no flgutee; me washee. Me mind

mara he rubbed his hands and laughed
greatly TO the modification OF his fellows
| who wore very serious faces.

Strange Oriental Scenes That Greet the

Between richlyCarved houses and

join the throngs which stream through
sunlight and shadow in moving rib

filled with the elaborate paraphernalia
of Hindu worship.
Brown faces peer across golden piles
OF plantains and scarlet mounds of

of purple hue and unknown species.

overhanging gables. with baskets Of
deep green leaves, smearing them with
lime as they wrap them around the

vivid vermillion- The shops OF gold

crucibles and deafening hammers, flank
stalls of dusty and worn-eaten scrolls
in Persian and Sanskrit, presided over

their hubble-bubbles undistUrbed by

The great secret of boredom is to be
found in two leading qualifications. A
bore must be unable to find amusement
in himself. and he must also be unable
to find amusement in any one else. He
must depend for his amusement neither
ON his own mind nor on the minds of
his friends, but simply on the gratifica-
ton which it is to him to give a special
direction, or at least to suppose that he
gives special direction-for he is a
creature of the most unlimited credul-
ity, in the art of magnifying his own in
1uence-to the minds of his friends.
He is in despair unless he can imagine
himself person of influence, and un-
luckily he can never imagine himself a
person of infuence-for he is man of
very limited imaginative power-unless
he is taking overt steps to convince
somebody Of something, whether it be
of some technical doctrine like Dugald
Dalgetty's strategic principle, or simply
of his own Importance, or even of the
Importance of his patrons, like Mr.. Col
lins in Pride and Prejudice.' To be a
first rate bore you must have no re-
sources in yourself and no resources in
your friends, but must depend for your
satisfactions Oh the real or tancied power
of making your friends either think Or
do what they would otherwise not think
or do.-London Spectator.

The early traditions concerning the
city of Damascus are curious and inter-
esting, even though untrustwCrthy and
contradictory. By some of the ancient
writers it was maintained that the city
stands on or near the site of the garden
of Eden, and just outside there is a
beautiful meadow of red earth from
which, it is said, God took the material
from which he created Adam. This
field is called Ager Damascenus, and
near its center there formerly stood a
pillar which was said to mark the pre-
else spot where our first parent was Gre
ated. A few miles out there is an emf
nence called the Mountain of A bel, sup
posed by some to be the place where the
first two brothers offered their sacri-
fees, also the spot where the first muir
der was committed. The most interest
ing spot pointed out,r however, is about
three leagues from the city, where an
old ruin is shown which all the orient
believe to be the tomb of Cain. The
traditions respecting this famous spot
are known to antedate the Christian era
by several hundred years, Up to the
time CT Vespasian the interior of the
tomb is said to have been lighted and
warmed by one of the lever burning"
lamps so commonly used by the an
cients.-St. Louis Republic.

THE YOUNG QUEEN VICTORIA.
Her Majesty's Actions on Being Notified @
the I(inr,s Dernisc.

Her Majesty's Actions on Being Notified of
the Kings Demise.
William " was dead. The arch
bishop of Canterbury and Lord Conyng-
ham were dispatched to inform the
Princess Victoria of the fact. It was a
warm night in June. The princess was
sleeping in her mothers 8 room, her GUS
tom from childhood, and had to be sum-
moned out of her sleep. The messen-
gers awaited her in the long, unlofty
room, separated only by folding doors
from that which was inhabited by the
Duchess Of Kent and her daughter. The
young girl entered alone, in her night
dress. with some loose wrap thrown
hastily about her. The moment she was
addressed as Your majesty she put
out her hand, intimating that the lords
who addressed her were to kiss it and
thereby do homage. Her schooling and
her instincts were admirable from the
first. Self possession combined with
perfect mOdesty came naturally to her.
A few hours later, at II O'Clock in
the morning, the child queen met her
council. In the corridor at Windsor
there is picture which commemor ates
the event. Never, it has been said by
an eyewitness, was anything like the
first impression she produced or the
chorus of praise and admiration which
was raised about her manner and be-
haviOr, certainly not without justice.
Her extreme youth and ineXperience
and the ignorance of the world concern
ing her-fo1 she had lived in complete
seclusiOn--e1cited interest and curios-
ity.
Asked whether sho would enter the
room accompanied by the great officers
of state, she said she would come in
alone. Accordingly when all the lords
of the privy council were assembled the
folding doors were thrown open, and
the queen entered, quite plainly dressed
and in mourning, and took her seat for
the first time, a young girl among
crowd of men, including al the most
famous and powerful of her subjects.
She bowed and read her speech, handed
to her by the prime minister, Lord Mel
bourne, in a clear and firm. voice and
then took the oath fo- the security of
the Church of Scotland. - -
Immediately the. privy councillors
were sworn, the royal Dukes of Cum
berland and Sussex first by themselves.
1t was observed that as these two old
men, her uncles, Enelt before her, swear
ing allegiance, she blushed up to the
eyes, as if she felt the contrast between
their civil and natural relations. Her
manner was very graceful and engag-
ing, and she kissed them both. and ris-
ing from Ter chair moved toward the
Duke of Sussex, who was too infrm to
reach er.-Fortnightly Review.
