MAKING THE BEST OF IT..
A Chinese Papers Method of Reporting

A Chinese Papers Method of Reporting
a Victory by the Japs.
After the Chinese defeat at Kaiping
December 20 the S~hen-pao, an infuen-
tial Picking journal, published the fol-
lowing:
"a Cheefoo scholar writes us that an
important battle has just occurred at
Kaiping. An overwhelming army of
Japanese made a cowardly attack upon
the fearless Gen. Sung-Ching, thinking
to take him ~unaNares. But that great
soldier is always vigilant and routed
his foes with great slaughter, killing
over three thousand and driving the
rest back t~hirty-five miles without
losing over ten men himself. Evening
coming on, and everyone being tired
from the hard labor of the day, Gen.
Sung thoughtfully ordered all his men
to lie down and rest, while he slept
likewise. He had not been in bed more
than an hour Or two when he was dis
turbed by the Japanese, who, contrary
to all usages of war, again ~assailed his
camp. He was naturally indignant
and ordered a lieutenant to drive the
wretches away SO that he could finish
his slumbers. The officer did the best
he could, but, being wounded and his
troops being panic-stricken by the cold,
he and his men turned and retreated,
being pursued by the Japanese. This
turned the camp into great disorder
and resulted in deepunliappiness. Gen.
Sung perceived this and ordered a re-
treat at full speed. His forces quickly
outmarched the enemy, SO that at morn
ing the whereabouts of the Japanese
was unknown, from which it is inferred
that they had fled. While the tents,
guns and ~an.munitions were left be-
hind, the banners, flags and umbrellas
were all safely brought away. Gen.
Sung, in viikkkF of the urgency of the sit
u%ation hga} Espplied to Picking for fifty

EASTERN Half CUTTING.
The Experience Constitutes an Event In
the Lives of Many People.

The Experience Constitutes an Event in
the Lives of Many People.
In some eastern countries children's
hair is not cut until they are ten or
twelve years of age, the girls then be-
ing considered manageable. Up to
that time it is coiled on top of the head
and adorned with fresh flowers. When
the great day for cutting comes there
is a grand ceremony and much feasting.
One who was present at a royal hair
cutting, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
tells us that the darling of the harem
vas robed in long, flowing garments Of
silk and lace, confined at the waist by
a golden girdle. Her long hair, coiled
for the last time, was fastened with
diamond pins, which cleaned and gilt
tered among fresh white flowers and
green leaves like pearly drops of morn
ing dew. There, in the presence of the
ladies, her father and an officiating
priest, surrounded by her hand maid
ems, some two hundred in number, she
knelt while prayers were chanted.
Then, the beautiful tresses being I'M
bound, her royal father, dipping his
fingers in rosewater and drawing them
carelessly over her head, clipped about
an eighth of an inch of hair and threw
it into a golden basin, depositing at the
same time on a great salver placed
ready to receive them presents of jewels
and gold.
The priest cut the next piece, her
mother the next, and so on, each guest
serving in turn until the little lady wa
shorn. All gave costly gifts intended
for her marriage dover, princes, minis
tiers of state and di~gnitaries of all sorts,
who waited in the outer courts, send
ing in their contributions by the attend
ants. The day ended in feasting and a
display of fireworks.

1Is Handling OF Dirty Money Not at All
Dangerous.

dangerous. .
There is no place in the world where
more dirty money is handled from day
to day than in the national bank re-
demption division of the treasury de-
partlnent. There are in existence some
thirty-hve hundred national banks, each
of which has outstanding bank notes
ranging in amount from two Or twelve
thousand dollars up to nearly half a
million. Every dollar Of these notes
passes through the hands of the men
and women employed in the national
bank redemption division. This office
has been in existence now for about
thirty wears. There are employed in
the division somewhere about twenty
five girls and women. They handle
':untold millions of bills in the course
of a year; and if there was any danger
from contagious and infectious diseases
in old banknotes it would seem as
though this would be the place to find
symptoms.
Yet Mr.. Rogers, who has been chief
of the division for ten years, and who
has been connected with it since it was
organized, assured a Washington Post
Express correspondent the other day
that there has never been 4 case OF in
fictitious or contagious disease con-
tracted by one of the employees Of his
Office. Every n of them handles the
bills sent in for redemption. They are
counted and sorted time after time.

They are the dirtiest specimens Of
money to be found in the country.
London,s wild Dock Dogs.

"A tribe of wild dogs exist at the Lon
don docks which have q real claim to
the title, since they belong to no one
and have passed through several gen.
erations literally upon their
hook" The dogs are not destroyed. as
they are useful in killing rats, and they
feed upon what they al find from the
refuse of the ships. One popularity Of
this breed is that they can climb with
almost catlike dexterity. The wild
dogs of the docks are by no means a v
age; indeed, they are timid, and seldom
show themselves.

PROPOSED BY A COW BOY.
CONTINUED FROM LAST wEEK.)

The unit of labor is generally a days work.
The power to fix standards of value is a govern
mental function vested in congress; it designates
how much gold or silver shall constitute a dollar,
and congress has an equal right to state how much
wheat, corn, coal, timber, rice, cotton, cloth, or
any other cornodity shall be worth a dollar. We
press upon the attention of the reader the fact that
the POWERS that fix the price of any commodity de-
c1des what remuneration the toiler shall receive,
who created that article; the population of the
world is increasing at a much greater rate than
the increase in the production of gold, and it is
imperative that some other standard for money be
adopted and a financial system capable of expan-
sion at the time of the great bulk of food products
from the farms are dumped upon the market and
to gradually contract as they are consumed and
the plan OF foregoing system of making the i'm
per1shables products in said stores and warehouses
the basis of currency would give a currency Of
great stability, expanding and contracting at the
right time and in the proper degree, and one which
a combination of wealthy persons would be unable
to control for selfish purposes; and would furnish
a certain cure for exhorbitant rates of interest,
limited time and unnecessary securities. Short
loans and refusing to take real estate securities are
weak points in the national bank laws when con-
sldered that they are chartered to accommodate the
people. Statute laws prohibiting usury have been
a failure, as bankers have been arrogant and vim
d1ct1ve and no person having sufficient incentive to
prosecute offenders, and bribery and the improper
use OF money would clear bankers if prosecuted,
our present currency is inhexible, scarce when
needed and plenty when not wanted. National
banks, also state and private banks are not safe
repositories for the peoples money, as a long list
of failures testify.
The state treasurer should deposit currency with
the United States treasurer to draw drafts upon,
also county treasurer with state treasurer for the
same purpose, likewise tho township, city and vii
to draw drafts upon.
The proposed system would be self supporting
and probably leave a balance for other expendi-
lures. Its adoption by the whole nation would
give one dollar per capita or S62, 600, 600 to the
fifty cents per capita and each county half a dollar
for each resident and double that rate on all money
loaned to Individuals, each township, city or vii
lage would receive one per cent. for all money
the county. A reasonable estimate of the total
revenue of this financial system alone would be
S125, 900, 900.

A NORTH DAKOTA HOLOCAUST.
Farmer, His Family and a Hired Man
Burned to Death.

BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 31.-The family
of Peter Olsen, consisting of himself, his
wife and three children, the Oldest boy
aged 49, together with one Bathga, hired
man employed by Olsen, was completely
wiped out by the destruction of their home
by fire yesterday. Olsen was a prosperous
farmer and wheat buyer about mile
south of the little village of Sterling,
thirty miles east of here.
Shortly after the fire was seen neighbors
started for Olsen's place to investigate.
Upon arriving the farm house was found
burned to the ground and the five bodies
of the Olsen family were found among the
debris. In one bedroom the bodies of Mrs.
Olsen and two small children were discov-
cred huddled closely together, and so
charred as to be almost unrecognizable
In the ruins of the woodshed Olsen's body
was found. In the cellar the body of the
l2-year-old son was found, also badly
charred

originated from an overheated stove, and
