TEACHING ENGLISH.
A Young Girls Experience Trying to
Explain to a Cbinaman.

A clever girl, who would make sensa-
ton in society if fate had been a little
more kind to her in a material way, lives
on a side street and Is a constant source
OF amusement and joy TO her little circle
of friends. She is poor; she IS compelled
TO turn and return her gowns; trim and
retrim her bonnets and make all sorts of
little sacrifices, and all because fate de-
creed that her father should be a quiet,
unambitiOus, conscientious, dreaming sort
of a fellow, instead of a bustling, money
making, successful merchant This girl
has brains and good looks. and, what Is
better originality, but she Is compelled
very often to walk because she has no car
fare. She amuses herself with all sorts of
things that other girls seldom think Of.
Her latest exploit is a class of Cinnamon,
into whose wooden heads she is endeavor-
ing to inject faint idea of the limitations
Of the English language and incidentally
the Christian religion.
In her class, on a recent Sunday, she
was giving Ching Poi an object lesson on
the wonderful creations of God.
See Ching" she said, "see this beauti-
full rose. God made this rose. He made
II TO look pretty and smell sweet. God
made all things Ching. He made you and
He made me. Now tell me, Ching, who
made the rose?'
Ching grinned and said: God. He
makee lose"
THAT'S right, Ching. Now. why did He
make the roSe?"
'He malxee lose to look pretty and smell
lee sweet"
That's right. Who made you, Ching?'
God makee me- replied Ching. HE
makee me TO look pretty and snelle
sweet
She is endeavoring TO teach the China
men a few other things, but will let per-
sonal SMILES with the rose rest for a
while.-Kansas City Star.

4 Peculiar Coincidence.

PORTLAND. Nov. .-Special.-This
city and county is plunged in grief over
the sudden death of Sheriff-elect John
English, which occurred this afternoon,
caused by peritonitis.
He was IN the best of health when he
went home last night. and was taken
with cramps and the hemorrhage of the
bowels. Jacob o. Linkhauer. Mr.. En-
glish's democratic opponent and who is
the present incumbent, is, and for Two
weeks has been, seriously sick with a
fever. Mr.. Linkhauer was appointed
sheriff by the board of commissioners
about two years ago to fill out the I'M
expired term Of 5. A. u. Gillum. who
died about six weeks after taking his
Office. The death of Sheriff Gillum, so
soon after his election and the death OF
Mr.. English a few hours after his cleo
ton 10 the same Office is a singular coin
cidence.
Mr.. English was very popular with his
party and well liked by everybody.
