said.
Really? Why?"
"May l show you why? Please com.
with me. At the other end of the hall
is a fortune teller, and want you to see
what she will tell you"
"May we join your" asked the baron.
Certainly. Come, we will all go to-
gether."
The mysterious room that held the
fortune teller was reached. The for
tune teller proved to be little figure in
the middle of disc.
Round the disc were figures and num-

paid a mark, set the figure revolving
and took the slip of paper opposite
which it stopped.

Lead where the Day

THE DUTY OF KICKING.

Mark Twain takes the ground that
HerDert Spencer has so forcibly defended
II is the uuIy of every man to his neigh-
Dor TO kick-kick at every petty impo-
sltlon; kick at every act of insubordina-
ton, impudence, surliness on the part of
permits beast TO spit and smoke in the
public vehicle. Report the conductor VINO
refuses to eject the ruffian. Kick to the
manager when the usher is rude; to the
superintendent when the clerk is mat
tentive; TO the highest available authority
when an injury Is done. 1t is not good
nature that prevents kicking among US;
it is an attempted fraud to try to make
1t appear so. Mark Twain calls it timid-
ity: Perhaps il is, but that is not its
full name. 1t is coWardice, downright.
abject cowardice, mingled with indiffer-
ence to duty, ones neighborIy rights, and
sheer Incidence.
OF ali the Englishman's qualities, the
most genuine and benif1Cent is his blank
refusal to submit to imposition. He never
lets it go, what's the user He makes
a point of finding Il use. He is not ami
able, but he is just. ard his services to
his fellow men are much more subStan-
tial than would be a few pleasant re-
marks. 1t is for the want Of a. spirit
universally lax, that, indeed, we have so
much in our own daily life and expert
ence to kick about 1t is the friction that
attends a practice that leads to improve
ment. Let the loafer, the negligent Of

corporation. learn in every instance that

A LINE SHOULD BE DRAWN.

live newspaper is expected to fur
nish its readers with the news Of the
day, which includes reports of current
events of all kinds. Sometimes, to
meet public requirements, details are
published which are distasteful both
to the editors and a portion of their
readers. The supply, however, is to
meet a demand, and papers that will
not do that are dropped for others that
are not so particular.
But there is line over which decent
and respectable journalism will not
pass, even to please a certain class Of
readers. There are details that ought
not to be put in print and introduced
into the family circle. The general
news of such cases may be properly
given, without going into particulars
that have an immoral tendency and
effect. They may not be altogether ig-
nored, but at the same time it is not
absolutely essential to up-to-date jour-
nalism that the public mind should be
shocked, and private decorum be vio-
lated by sensational and exaggerated
variations Of nauseating facts.
The Herald is a family paper. 1t
aims to publish the news with such
particularly as well as meet the de-
mands, without overstepping the
bounds OF propriety, and certainly
without descending to indecency, or to
such suggestive variations as would
do damage to public or private morals.
In the recent exposure of certain
matters that need not have been held
up in all their naked deformity 20 the
public gaze, The Herald, while praserv-
ing its reputation as a live daily news
paper, has refrained from the course
Of contemporary which has excited
very general public Reproduction. There
are limits over which truly consistent
and reputable journals are careful not
to stray for the mercenary purpose of
making a few extra dollars. The read
ing public will understand these allu-
sions and appreciate the situation.

TRAINED BABIES.

I have recently had in my house a won-
derful example of the trained baby
1t could go to sleep all loney hisself.'
But, by the way, his mother never talked
baby talk to him, but plain English in
few words. and he seemed to understand
every word. Then, to see a busy, active
baby ten months or Il year old, sit at the
table and never ''muss the table-cloth,"
or NEEDLE with The dishes, or tip over
the glass of water or sauce, all within
reach, although so active he had all the
time to jump or perform harmless ath-
letics, probably in training for football
or baseball And as ne had his proper
lunch before the first course. he rarely
asked for anything at che table and il
he did, he knew that "No, Lee" meant
No.
Then, did YOU ever think a ten months
old baby could be trained to help mother,
rather than DE always a bother" and
hindrance? Lee was encouraged to help
mother, and though Mrs. Jones was per
fectly able to keep n nurse gil to wait
on baby, she had trained him before he
was a year old so that when she had
swept he wanted on his busting cap and,
with his title busting cloth, would creep
round and dust the chairs, etc, as high
as he could reach. Now, this is no
fancy sketch, but is Just what almost
any mother can bring about. Colds

ANOTHER CHINESE WAP

The quickest, easiest and most practi-
cal way to settle the rate controversy
between the white and Chinese laundry
men Of this city is to stop patronizing
the latter. Every dollar paid to an al
mond-eyed sojourner is almost immedi-
ately lost in Chinese gambling den or
is boarded to be carried back to GINA.
So far as the public is concerned, 1t is
like Withdrawing that amount from cir
culation. and there is no law of citizen
ship that entities them to encouragement
or consideration.
In most instances the Chinese refuse to
become naturalzed. They never spend
the money received from white patrons
for anything that benefits communities.
and even their food is mostly imported
from their native land. Generally speak
ing they are bestial in their habits and
are inveterate lawbreakers, and are only
entitled to public sympathy because they
are human.
Working people who COMPLAIN of
Chinese competition are to some extent
responsible. Take. for instance, the
present discussion. Instead of giving their
trade and influence to white laundrymen
they continue to patronize the Chinese
and in this way encourage their efforts
For once let this practice be discontinued.
Be patriotic and support people who ap-
preciate the value of American citizen
ship and don't spend another cent with a
Washington Times.
