Sun Yat Sen, one Of the leaders in
the rebellion in China, is quite well
known, not only in this country, but
also in many of the countries of Eu-
rope. He has always been k.own in
China as a dangerous rebel leader, and
a price has been set on his head for
some time. In fact, his visit to this
country was due to the fact that he
was being hunted by the authorities
in his native land.
He was in San Francisco for some
time before any one found it out, and
before he left he managed to organize
several societies which, while seem
ingly peaceful in object, were in reality
hotbeds of rebellion. Sun Yat Sen
was described as a cultured, pleasant
man of unusual ability and education,
and his pleasing manners and polite
conversation won for him many friends
not only among the Chinese residents
of that city but also among the Ameri-
cans. He manifested great interest
in the mission work among the Chi
nese, and it was in that way that he
succeeded in winning SO many of them
over to his side in his schemes for the
overthrow Of the present dynasty
His adventures in England and his
arrest there are matters Of history.
1t is the general opinion among those
familiar with conditions in China that
Sun Vat Sen will prove strong
leader, and that a rebellion under him
is likely to amount to more than if it
were under an ordinary man.-Phila-
delphia Press.

ONE or HE UNKNOWN pgAp.



Pathetic Incident which Attended tho
Death OF soldier at Montauk.
He is one of the unknown dead. A
plain woodea cross marks the grave
where he lies by his comrades on the
hillside overlooking the lake at Camp
WikoH, Montauk. There was none
beside him at the last TO whom he was
anything more than a dying soldier,
yet he died with the smile Of a hope
realized when hope was all but gone.
From the time he was brought in
there was no hope for him. The
deadly poison that oozes from the
Cuban soil had permeated his system.
They call it Ternicious malarial fever.
1t doesn't matter much what they call
a hopeless disease. The soldier alter
mated between nuneonsciousuess and de-
lirium, and all efforts to n out who he
was were unavailing. his one glim-
meriug Of reason was when he called
in plaintive iteration for his mother.
Mother mother I Isn't she com
ing at all ?"
Across from him was another sol
der suffering from malarial fever in a
lighter form. His mother had come
on from the West, aud had found him
already on the road to recovery. She
sat on the edge of his cot holding his
hand and talking in low, happy tones.
When the surgeon came along ON his
rounds she rose and half turned. The
unknown soldier turned on his side
and saw her standing there. For
moment there could be seen in his
eyes the struggle Of returning con-
sciousne7s; then great peace shone
on the wasted face.
Mother, he said weakly. you've
come at last. 2"
The woman turned and saw a
stranger feebly holding out his arms
to her. She stood amazed, but ii was
only moment before the mother heart
comprehended.

''Tve come.
Lift me up" he said, 81 want to
go home. You've come to take me
home, haven't you, mother 2"
She stopped over and kissed him,
then sat on the edge of the cot and
took the emaciated form in her arms.
He leaned back, his eyes closed, and
he smiled. But soon he opened his
eyes again.
81 don't believe 1 can CO." he
whispered. Don't you mind, mother,
but L don't - believe 4 - can

His breathing grew slower and
softer. His head dropped back, aud
he half turned in the woman's arms.
I've longed for you SO mother, +" he
said. and diel.
The woman laid the body down and
went back to her own on.-New York

Tulare lake, in Tulare county, once
the largest body Of fresh water in
California, is now dried up. About
1872 the lake was about so miles long
and s5 miles wide at the greatest
width, but its depth was never great.
Irrigation was introduced into this
region in 1S72-75, and as the water
was drawn of from its tributaries the
lake began to shrink in size. In 1895
the lake was only four to five miles
wide; and though it remained station

There is one fisherman here who has
profound belief in what might be
called the homing instinct in Holsters.
He will never sell spawn Holsters, al
though he could get SO apiece from
the fish commission for their purposes,
but puts every one back as neal iy as
possible in the place where he found
it. He believes that Holsters Matched
from spawn that is left undisturbed
will always return to their native spot.
The lobster is not so migratory as
people think, he says. In digging
deeply in clam beds he has found lob
sters that have burrowed for the
winter. and it is his opinion tEiat in
stead of going off into the sea upon
the approach of cold weather Holsters
prefer to go into deep holes in the
bay, and there await the return of the
warm season. Portland Me. Argus.

Kirniess.

In scme portions Of Germany the
kirmess, or church mass, formerly
danced in honor of the dedication Of
a church, is now observed with the
special character of harvest home.
1t marks the close of the years ia
Dor and is celebrated by three days
of music, feasting and dancing with
partners chosen or allotted, according
to degree of comliness, at the preced-
ing May festival.
In south Germany the end of the
harvest is marked by the sickle feast.
The last sheaf is carried in triumph
to the barn and placed on the floor,
while the younger couples dance
around it. One half of it is then
deeked with ribbons and hung aloft
while the other half is burned. Its
ashes are treasured as remedy for
rheumatism and are sometimes used
in making amulets or charms. The
peasants leave for Wodan, or ''the old
one, few ears of corn aud small
number of apples, It being considered
unlucky to strip either field or tree
entirely bare. -Lippireott's.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.


 Without her foibles woman would be only a female
 Only very weak woman can make a very strong man weak. A woman is furthest from being beat en when she will admit that she is.
 If the average boy was always as polite as his mother tries to make him act before company he would grow up to be a useless man.
 The Indignation which every woman shows when she sees a widow and a widower making up to each other is generally intended as warning to her husband
 There may be no marriage in heaven, but there certainly is no heaven in marriage.
 Women may learn lot about the neighbors from their hired girls, but the men go to the barber shop.
 It takes all woman's strength of mind not to hate another one at first sight whose chatelaine is prettier than hers.
 Intuition in a woman is, probably, what she discovers other peoples love affairs with before they do themselves. Whether a man likes a woman or not depends on his mood; whether wom- an likes man or not depends half on his mood and half on hers.

back home in the shape of stripes, domestics and fannels. On better land and better facilities for stock raising we live, yet most of the ba- con that goes down our threats is bought from Kansas City. In the midst of fine wheat growing sec tion, we prefer to raise 4cent cot ton and buy flour from Wisconsin. On fine natural range, yet we prefer to use Michigan condensed milk or do without. In a fine fruit growing county, yet we buy strawberries from Texas, and potatoes from Col orado. Our dried fruit is cured in Tennessee or Ohio, our pickles and celery from Michigan; our wagons are made in Milwaukee, tEe mules to draw it are raised in Missouri, and the only home grown thing i'll every wagon leaving town is the man holding the rams, and oIten he is an imported article. Then can we wonder that times are hard; that there is no money in the country, when bale of cotton is brought to town and sold, before you get back home the money you received for that cotton is on its way back North to pay for the goods on your wagon, not a thing being home grown2 It is high time we were waking up to a realization of these problems, the solution of which rests solely with the people them selves.

day. The Sheriff pocKets the differ ence between 15 cents and 75 cents, or 60 cents day on every prisoner confined in the county jail. It is notorious that the wheels of justice grind slowly, especially in this coun- ty. Often men are confined in the jail from six to eighteen months awaiting trial. All the while the Sheriff draws 75 cents a day on each prisoner for feeding hlm, The ex- pense for feeding prisoners and the county jail in this marner amounts to some $6, GOO year.
 This is only one example. Others might be given showing how money is extorted from the county as a re- suit of the fee system, but this will suffice for the present.
 The remedy: Abolish the fee sys- tenn. Do as Sebastian and Wash ington counties have done-put all the county officers on 3. a.salaried list. Then and not till then will our taxes be reduced Why should men who can't earn over $1, 800 a year in pri- yats life receive from s, 1000 to $10,000 a year in public offiee2 Place the county officers on sala- ried list and turn all the fees into the county treasury and it will nos be long until our taxation will be reduced.
 Reduced taxation will not only re- suit in private savings to the citi- zens. but will increase immigration and offer inducement and encour- agemeat to new manufacturing en. terprises.
 Reduced taxation should come, and until it does come there can be no general prosperity or progressive development in this city or county.

Why Are Not Our Taxes Re-
 duced.

duced.
 There is one other matter that oe- CUTS to ne at present that there is a woeful amount of ignorance about and that is our county and city gov ernment. How much money is paid into the treasury of each? Why are not our taxes reduced2 These are live issues and intelligent inYes tigation and discussion with rec commendations might be more fruit ful than we imagine.
 The above paragraph is from MT. Fred Fox's article in the Chrlstmas edition of the Graphic.
 "How much money is paid into the treasury of city and county? Why are not taxes reduced?9 These are very pertinent and proper ques- tions, and, as MT. Fox says, there is a awoeful amount of ignorance about them
 Why are not our taxes reduced22
 It ought not to be difficult for an observing citizen to answer this question. The reascn is because our taxes are gobbled up by tte grasping greed of the fee-system and fee grabbing ofice-holders, and because the public revenues are re- garded as a private snap, and every sort of scheme imaginable is resort ed to for the purpose of extorting eeas from the county treasury.
 To illustrate: The Sheriff receives 75 cents a day for feeding prisoners in the county jail. A former iailor of this county is authority for the statement that these prisoners are fed at an expense of 15 cents per
