to Thrash Their Boss.
Police Sergeant Shay and posse came
upon batch of fighting Chinese in Ross
alley little before noon yesterday and
marched them off to the California-street
station.
They were Jue Pong, clerk; Tom Me
Foy and Cheong Hung. laborers, and
Charley All Lung, druggist.
According to their story Jue Pong, sort
of boss, had employed the other three Chi
nese as Gamers for the Alaska Canning
Company in Alaska. When they were dis
charged they were sent to San Francisco
to draw their money. Failing to get their
money they reasoned that Jue Pong had
deceived them or had cheated them out of
it. They had proceeded, therefore, to take
satisfaction out of his body when Sergeant
Shea suddenly interrupted them and took
them all in.

Starchy foods, such as milk and
many other substances recognized as

Chemical analysis shows that the hair

cent. of silicon, and ten per cent. OF
iron and manganese. The foods
which seem, therefore, best adapted
for nourishing the hair are meat, oat-

LoNo AGO.

When OPAL tints and gray invade
The crimson OF tho west
When daylights lingering traces fade,
And song birds seek the nest
When shadows fall o'er hill and plain,
And stars in heaven glow,
We live In memory once again
The days Of long ago.
And friends OF days forever o'er
Around us closely stand,
We feel the kindly grasp once nero
OF many vanished hand;"
And though fond, loyal, brave and true
May be the friends we know,
No friends can match tho friends we knew
And loved long, long ago.
Though smiling fortune on us shower
Her gifts with right good will
Though every passing day and hour
BE filed with sunshine still
Though joys and pleasures deep abound
Upon the way we go,
We sigh and dream DER Joys we found
In days Of long ago.
And though we form new friends, new ties
New joys. new pleasures try.
And though new hopes like phantoms rise
AS in tho days gone by,
When comes the holy calm OF eve
Our tears unbidden flow;
We love, we hope, we plan and grievo
Again in Long Ago.

Says the New York Times 1t would
probably puzzle most people to tell,
of hand, in what shape the Arctic
regions have supplied even a quarter
of "the products worth $1,000, 000,-
900" which General Greedy told the
geographers assembled in London had
come out of the frozen North during
the past two centuries, and upon which
he based his appeal for a vigorous
continuance of Arctic exploration.
Voyages in that direction are usually
regarded as leading to frightful
tragedies, rather than to any practical
benefit for mankind. These tragedies,
indeed, have developed and served to
display heroism never surpassed and
perhaps never equaled in other parts
Of the world, but that cannot be
measured in money, valuable pos
session as it is, and, of course, does
not count in the twelve hundred
millions. First among the things that
do, no doubt, are the whales, vast
numbers of which have been captured
in the icy seas since the hardy ex-
plorers proved that those waters were
not impossible; other Arctic products
are fossil ivory, the mineral cryolite,
rich in aluminium the furs of seals,
bears, foxes and few other animals !;
small quantities of gold-and about
there the list begins to become diff
cult to lengthen, though specialists
could probably continue it through a
line or two more. Some day the North
Pole-an object no less, or more,
worthy of respect than the equator
will be added, but even then the enor-
nous sum mentioned by General
Greedy will seem quite beyond the
average statistician's power to account
for.
