sary to put the hands on that job for the last
three nights will have to charge you little
more than is the custom. You know speed
comes high"
swell, what's the bill?"
"Suppose we make it about $50 for twenty
copies?"
"Won't pay it," thundered Mr.. Lloyd. "Why,
man you must be crazy. Thirty dollars for
that job? Neva-a-ar, sir"
s'Well see about that, Mr.. Lloyd. You ought
to know better than to expect it any cheaper.
All you have got to do is to say you don't want
the work, and I'll have you in the courts in
about tWenty-four hours. Come, now, does it
go?"
"Say, young man, in regard to the courts
Pm little bit on the law myself Whenever
you want to bump up against legal tilt, Pm
your man. Been in that sort of business few
years, and when it comes down to 8 good lively
court scrap I'm triae partial to them. Now,
get out your complaint and we will proceed to
the bar"
The printer was a little ratified at this sally,
and after chewing his tongue few moments
he inc uired what was the fault with the BILL
and what Lloyd wanted in the matter of rates.
'pI tell you, my boy" said the attorney,
leaning over in confidential sort OF way,
"the - bill is too low. Make it $50. Any
man who does work like that and stays up all
night to do it ought to be properly paid. Here's
your money. Receipt that bill and let's go and
have dinner"
"But say, my dear sir, it isn't worth that. 1t
would be robbery. Here, great gunsl l don't
want the earth. Such charge is prepos-
terous.''
Mr.. Lloyd now turned upon the thoroughly
fiustered man, and with a withering look re-
piled: ''Now is q good time to learn q valuable
tip from one who knows A mans work is
worth all he can get for it,
Among the passengers on the Mariposa yes
terday were Edward Bourdois and his bride
from Apia, Samoa. Mr.. Bourdois is New York
broker, who, three years ago, met while travel
ing on the continent D. s. Parker, one of the
wealthiest residents of Apia and his pretty
daughter Aliette. 1t was not long before he
won promise from her to become his bride. 1t
was to claim her that he went down to Apia.
The wedding festivities were celebrated at the
residence OF Mr.. Parker in Apia on July 16, the
day before the Mariposa arrived there on her
way back to San Francisco and were attended
by all the leading white officials of the islands
and about 200 natives.
There was double ceremony, the first being
according to the native rites band of natives
presented themselves at the Parker residence
bedecked in flowers and trinkets, and made
offerings of bananas, FISH and pigs, and con-
cluded with songs of their native tongue. Then
followed the more formal ceremony, at which
Mr.. Mulligan, the American Consul, officiated.
On the following day the happy couple boarded
the steamer Mariposa, which was accompanied
out to sea by several hundred natives in their
small boats, singing and waving adieu to the
departing groom and bride.
Miss Frances E. Phelps, missionary whose
station has been at the inland town of Sendi,
Japan, came in on the China yesterday. Asked
at the Occidental about the effect of the war
on missionary work in Japan, she said: eve
feel that there are going to be very good results
to our work, especially through the army. The
Christian soldiers have shown that their adop-
ton of a foreign religion does not interfere
with their patriotism. Before the war good
many Japanese officers could not see how
soldier embracing foreign religion could be
loyal to his country. Now the officers have al
lowed Bibles to be freely distributed among
the men, something they were averse to before
the war. OF course the officers and the higher
classes have not been touched yet by the work
of the missionaries but there is at least more
friendly feeling toward US. The Japanese have
very acute minds and delight in mental exer-
else. Unless preacher is well up in philoso-
ply and science his spiritual work is not apt to
be effective
