Even China isn't to old to learn, and
it appears. that she is really getting a
lesson out of the Japanese war. The en-
peror recently issued a proclamation on
Prince Kung's advice. saying that here
after Chinese generals who lose battles
will not be beheaded summarly. but will
be given an opportunity to redeem them
selves. AT the same time Prince Kung
issued a memorial attribuung Chinese
defeat and humiliation to her fetichism
and lack of progress in civilization. If
the emperor were to get it into his
head that civilization" is the best thing
for China, it might be that he would
soon have his subjects all in cptaway
coats and studying the liberal arts and
sciences.

The rlontana Liar.

The Man from Montana has los,
none of his popularity with the east
ern interviewers and he continues to
furnish them with columns of mag.
nificent lies for their journals. Now
he appears in Chicago; now, in wash
ington and now, in New York. lie is
fellow of infinite resource and can
tell the eastern pencil manipulators
anything from bear story TO an ac.
count of a lost bonanza or a mining
camp revival. His name changes as
he goes from town to town, but he al
ways reveals his identity by the glar-
ing character of the lies that he tells.
Ever since he made his appearance
in the field of eastern newspaper work,
he has found ready listeners to his tales
of woe or his yarns of JOY. His stories
have been eagerly sought after and are
always at a premium. One peculiar
feature of this Man from Montana is
that, although he is either a
prominent cattle man" or a
wealthy mineowner," nobody in
these parts ever seems to have
heard of him. OF course. that

his startling narratives in the East.
They read just as smoothly as if his
name was in the city directory of
Butte or the tax list of Billings. He
may never have seen Montana. That
makes no d ference TO the public
which is hungry for the Montana lie.
Just now. the Man from Montana
is in New York and is RECALLING the
readers of the morning papers there
with graphic descriptions of the re-
mains of prehistoric animals that
abound in this state Such animals
rs he describes have frequently been
seen in Montana but the men who saw
them have either taken the jag cure or
else fill drunkards' graves. The fact
that these stories are published in
New York is good ground for the be-
lief that the liars right name is

One More Gone Wrong.

1t transpires that the late Rufus
Ramsey was the banner bearer among
defaulting state treasurers. He died
three months ago. Two years ago he
became treasurer of Illinois; his ac-
counts are alleged to be half million
short.
1t appears that Ramsey helped him
self right along TO all the money he
wanted or, at least, to all he dared to
take. Sometimes he would draw from
five to ten thousand a month and keep
up that clip for months running.
How III 1se defalcations can run on so
long and rem lin undiscovered is a
mystery TO every man who is not an
expert accountant.

The Essence of Meanness.


Ever since the days when Jacot
buncoed Esau out of his patrimony
there have been some mighty mean
men in the world Some of them have
been mean on broad scale and some
OF them have bored with very small
auger. But they're all mean. Some
few of them have had redeeming fea.
tures-Napoleon didn't do the square
thing by Josephine, but he is not h I'D
In dlsrepute for that. o hers have

left no record that makes us forget his
productivity in the matter of wives and
divorces
Some have plotted for kingdoms:
some have schemed for other mems
wives; some have tried to get rid of
their own spouses; some have embeZ-
zied large sums and still others have
robbed hen roOsts. There are degrees
of meanness eXempllfied all through
history. But there is man in Cleve-
land, ONO, who takes the entire bak-
cry product for pure cussedness. He
is as mean as they make them.
HIS claim for greatness in the list of
mean men is based upon a little incl
dent that occurred in his home last
week. He had been spending the
evening with some friends and re-
turned TO his wife rather the worse for
the convivlality in which he had par
tlcipated. o. course that was mean.
for his wife hadn't had any fun at all.
but many men do that and this fea-
ture of his performance does not enti-
tie him TO any especial distinction.
But when he entered the room
where his wife was sleeping he discov-
cred pair of trousers on the floor be-
side the bed. They were his own gar.
ments, but he didn't realize that and at
once jumped TO the conclusion that
something was wrong Without CO.
ing through the formality of waking
his wife, he proceeded to pound her
He rained blow after blow upon her
Protests were unavailing and he
would listen to no word of explana-
ton. Not until her brother appeared
with an axe did he desist, and when
the ownership of the compromising
raiment was fixed upon himself. he
said his wife deserved the humping
because she hadn't hung up the trous-
ers.
There are several morals which
adorn this tale. FIRST, it may be al
legged that some men are too mean TO
live. Second, II may be asserted that
1t Is wlfes duty TO hang up her hus-
bands clothes. Third, it NAV be
claimed that no man should own more
than one pair of trousers and he should
always be sure that he has them on
before he precipitates a domestic
quarrel 1t does not necessarily teach
anything regarding the excessive use
of booze, although by straning point
a fourth moral might be induced as to
the undesirabllity OF returning home
in such condition as not to be able
TO recognize ones own pants. But no
one will deny that the Cleveland man
is mean.
