TOLD HIM TO HOLlER.
Representative Bailey Found VERY
Obedient Claque.

Obedient Claque.
Representative Bailey is one of the
most picturesque figures in congress.
He affects constitutional law, wears a
broad eXpanse of shirt front, losses a
mass of wavy black hair and glories in
sweeping Texas sombrero. Mr.. Bal
ley's boast is that Texas congressional
districts are as big as New England
states. He is the subject of a story and
it would be wrong to tell who is the
author of it, as Mr.. Bailey is a hot
blooded man. The story is that when
Mr.. Bailey first entered public life in
Texas he was comparatively unknown.
He was anxious to forge to the front,
however, and to make himself heard on
every occasion. A large meeting was
to be held in a neighboring town. Bal
ley went to it on horseback. He fell in
with traveller, and in the course of con-
versation about speakers, Remarked:
Did you ever hear of Bailey?" The
yoliel replied that he had not. WELL"
said Bailey, "he is good speaker, and is
going to be there to-day. If you get a
chance, yell for him and you will get a
speech worth listening to-" The travel
er promised. The meeting came off. and
several speakers were heard. Finally
there was a lull, and then some one in
the audience began to yell: "B-a-i-l-e-y!
B-a-i-l-e-y!" The master of ceremonies
turned 20 Bailey and led him to the
rostrum. Bailey started to speak. But
the shouter continued to yell ''B-a-i-
l-e-y!" Bailey stopped, The master of
ceremonies said, genially: IF our
friend will keep still Mr.. Bailey will
continue his address. The gentleman
speaking is Mr.. Bailey" The only re-
ply to this was a howl of disgust from
the man who had been making all the
noise, and he blurted out: "Why, that's
the long-haired galoot that told me to
holler for Bailey!"-N. Y. Tribune.

GLIMPSE AT THE CHINESE,



A very handsome and distinguished
looking gentleman is Mr.. Francis W.
Harrell, IA former citizen of Virgins.
but now a resident of Shanghai, China,
who. with his wife, is visiting Wash
ington. Mr.. Harrell lived for six years
in Japan, occupying the chair of Eng
lish in the leading university of that
country, and there he met his future
wife who was the first child of white
parents born in the mikado's domin-
ions. Mrs. Harrell not only speaks
Japanese like a native, but she is pro-
foundly versed in the literature of the
country. Mr. Harrell is now connected
with the great shipping firm of N. j.
Robinson & Co., and he comes to the
United States to contract for some
high,power guns, to be used by the
Chinese in defending several of their
important rivers.
'1he Chinese government" said he,
''is in bad way, and any organized
effort to overthrow it, if backed by a
few capable and determined leaders,
would doubtless be successful. The
present dynasty is very unpopular, and
a great many people were glad because
of it's humiliation by the japanese. The
despotic rule of the mandarins has
deadened all patriotic feeling. They
are non-progressive as well as tyran-
nical Grd block the ways to the open
ing III She empire to railroads, tele-
graph lines and all other accompani-
ments of civilization. AS long as the
masses can be kept in ignorance their
power and prestige will be secure. The
mandarins melted the lower classes to
the recent massacre of the mission
aries, but the instigators were shrewd
enough to escape punishment them
selves"
But it will not do to underrate the
Chinese because of their defeat by a
smaller nation. With proper military
organization they would prove a for
midable foe to any power on earth.
The men are brave, and they only need
training to become first-class soldiers.
"As a business people they are far
superior to the japanese. When Chi
nese merchant gives his word it is
sacred; there is no use in putting a
contract in writing when dealing with
them, and if in rare cases one defaults,
his relatives or friends cheerfully COM
ply with the obligation. On the con-
trary, the Japs will break their word
whenever self-interest dictates, and the
only way to deal with them is by writ
ten instruments. They are bright and
clever, but lacking in the solid and en-
during qualities of the Chinese.
Shanghai is one of the most beau
tiful and well-llept cities of the east,
and well deserves the title of Little
Paris In some ways it is the most
peculiar city or earth. The natives
have a government of their own, and
the foreigners are allowed to govern
themselves. There are large colonies
of English, Americans, French and
Germans.
THE prestige of Ii Hung Chang has
greatly gone down of late, and the
coming man of the empire is Chang
Chi Chung, viceroy of Nankin. He is
enthusiastic on the subject of organ
izing a great army after the German
system, and when he accomplishes his
purpose he could put himself at the
head of the empire without any
trouble. '-Washington Post.

ORIGIN OF THE ROSE.
Queen of Flowers Is of Ancient Lineage
and Distinguished History.


Some indication of the origin of the
rose, both in time and in country, is
probably given in its name. This un-
doubtedly comes to us through the
Latin from the Greek "rodon," word
which is now agreed to be, in the wider
sense, oriental, not Greek. But to which
of the two great families of language it
belongs is less certain. Heyn main
tains it to be Iranian-that is, of the
Aryan family-of the older tongue of
Persia and Bactria; and Persia might
unquestionably put strong claims to be
the true native country of the rose.
But Prof. Skeat, who has the majority
of modern authorities on his side, de-
clares it to be pure Semitic word-the
Arabic ward" Towering shrub, thus
denoting the flower of flowers par ex-
cellence. 1t is worth noticing that the
Persian word ''gul" similarly meant at
first only perfumed flower, but has
come to be used of the rose alone. ut
rosa fios forum sic est domnits ista
domorum" is the emphatic way in
which the inscription over the lovely
chapter-house at York claims it as being
the very flower of architecture.
But theories, however, of the name
agree with all other indications that we
can trace in placing the original home
of the rose, much as that of our earliest
forefathers, in the central or western
central district of Asia; but, instead of
spreading only in westerly direction,
the rose took, apparently, more
catholic view of the earth, and eX-
banded impartially east and west, with
out showing any reluctance about longi-
tude, while disliking the more violent
changes of temperature implied by an
extension of latitude. 1t has been
found by travellers as far south as
Abyssinia in one hemisphere and Mex
leo in The other; but it never seems,
voluntarily, to come very near to the
equator. Northward, however, moth
ing seems to stop it, since it has con-
quered Iceland, Greenland and KANT
