shape. The recent encroachments OF

THE GOOD SAMARITAN IN CHINA

He Would Have Becn Likely to Get Him
self Into Trouble.
One dark evening l was returning
home from a call on one of our Eng
lish neighbors in Taiyuenfu, writes
Prof. c. n. Cady in Century. When not
far from our compound the road
crossed an open space of several ncres
in extent. AS 1 was finding my way
along by the dim light of Chinese
lantern, 1 nearly stumbled over the
body of man who had fallen by the
way. My first impulse was to take
hold of the person and ascertain if
help was needed; but for some reason
] did not, but hurried home to get aid.
Mr.. X was still with us, and on hearing
my statement said:
"Yes, know; the man is dead, and
1t is fortunate that you did not attempt
60 ta,ao,a tho body. Should we now
try to remove it. or even go to it, we
should no doubt be seen, and at once
suspicion would attach itself to us, and
none could tell the consequences. We
might cause riot before morning"
1t should be said that this suspicion
would not have been because we were
foreigners, for native under sim
liar circumstances would likewise have
run the risk of being charged with
the murder. The Good Samaritan
would have Jared hardly in China
or most likely would have been sus-
pected of doing the kind deed for some
ultimate gain-while the priest and the
Levite would have been accounted not
hard-hearted, but prudent.

need of clothing to protect them from
the cold. The next day, with n large
bundle of clothing, she visited the COM
FORTRESS rooms Of this unfort unatc fam

children were there, and this old lacy,
whose charity work is of the practical
sort, proceeded to dress the little ones
herself, beginning with the youngest,
mere baby. She was just fastening
the last button OF the dress of the
eldest girl when the door opened ard
the mother walked in. She was chilled

her failure to get work. It took but
an instant for her to grasp the situa-

kindly face of the bencfaotress her eyes
were filed with tears.

Witness Stand.
In Q stealing case which was tried
In the county court at Sylvania, Ga.,
. very extraordinary witness was in
troduced-the first of his kind that
has ever appeared in our courthouse,
says the Savannah News. This was a
dominick rooster. Two negro boys
were prosecuted for stealing chickens
from another negro. The prosecutor
proved that his chickens were missing,
and he claimed to have identified them
in the yard of the accused. 1t then
developed on the latter to prove their
ownership. One of our brightest young
lawyers was conducting the defense,
and he very ingeniously introduced in
evidence the above mentioned domi-
nick rooster, which belonged to the
defendants. in order to show the SIM
ilarity in appearance between his roost-
ership and the suspected chickens.
This rooster was lord of the barnynrd
on the place where the two boys lived,
and the disputed chickens were SO very
much like him in color and other ways
that no one doubted they were his lineal
descendants. The rooster, when put
on the stand, began at once to crow
Justify, as If desiring to proclaim the
innocence of the accused, and furnished
much amusement to the court. After
hearing all the evidence in the case
and inspecting the rooster the judge
discharged the prisoners and told the
prosecutor that, while it was perhaps
true he had lost his chickens, yet he
was convinced they had become the

somewhat visionary, but I hope sometime
in Kansas to see the term for governor
extended to four years and no man eligi-
Bile for more than one term. If under
our present law the governor adopted the
rule of appointing every officer and the
members of every state board on the list
OF his appointments upon the civil service
