IS YE WOULD.

If | should see
A brother lauguishing In sore distress,
And l should turn and leave him comfortless
When / might be
a messenger of hope and happiness,
How could I ask to have what l denied
In my own hour of bitterness supplied?
If l might sing
A little song to cheer fanting heart.
And 1 should seal my lips and sit apart
When 1 might bring
A bit of sunshine for lifes ache and smart,
How could / hope TO have my grief relieved
If 1 kept silent when my brother grieved?
And so l know
That day is lost wherein I fail to lend
A helping hand to some wayfaring friend,
But If It show
A burden lightened by the cheer 1 send,
Then do | hold the golden hours well spent
And lay me down to sleep in sweet content.

THE WORLDS SUPPLY Ho1,

The report that Russia has ordered
American armor plate for two of her new
vessels at the rate of $500 ton should do
something toward settling the contro-
versy over the cost of that article. AS
the American company had to compete
with the European makers at some disad-
vantage as to distance, it seems fair to
conclude that the Russian Government is

not overcharged and that $500 ton repre-
sents only moderate profit over tne Goss
of production. The fact that HarVeyIzeu

THE BOYCOTT IN CHINATOWN.

n WNERS of property in Chinatown have been
| ] forced to organize an association for the pur
~ pose of combating a peculiarly vexatous
form OF boycottng practced by the bold highbnders
OF that locality, and the publication OF their grlev
ances against the offenders adds new and interesting
chapter to the record OF ways that dark and tricks
that are vain, for which the heather Chinee is
peculiar.
1t appears that whenever Chnaman is evcted
from building in Chinatown for non-payment of
rent or other cause and not infrequently when
one leaves building voluntarily, flaming red poster
is stuck on the premises giving notice all Cinnamon
that from $50 to SIoo must be forthcoming for the
highlander societies before tenant will be al
lowed to occupy them. The cinch seems to be COM
plete. White people do not care to become tenants
in Chinatown The property-owner, therefore, must
look to the Chinese for occupants Of his buildings
and, they more less willing subjects OF the
highbnders, the boycott stands until the fine is paid
and flaming red poster removed.
1t is going to be easy to devise remedy for
this state OF affairs SO long the majority of the
Chinese in this country make no effort to relieve
themselves from highlander domination, it will be
difficult for white men free them by any laws
he may pass. In this as in all things else, who
would be free himself must strike the blow; and
The Chinaman shows no desire to strike in this in
AS a matter of fact, the new tenant who de-
to enter upon the vacant premises until the
blackmail has been paid may be himself sharer in
the spoils
One of the property-owners whose buildings had
been placed under ban proceeded to thrash two
>enants who had moved out and whom he suspected
CT having had the boycott established. The results,
according to his statement good, for the
boycott Immediately removed Whether this
remedy would work in all cases may be doubtful and
under no circumstances could it be generally adopted
Our laws could never sanction the right of landlord
to thrash a tenant simply because he moved away
from the landlords premises and advised other people
not TO rent them.
It would be complete solution 70, this and host
of similar evils if the Chinese could be induced to
boycott the United States altogether San Francisco
would not be injured if the whole race refused to
occupy premises in any part of the city SO long as
they here will have endure their highbnders
and to extent submit to their exactions The
property owners OF Chinatown will have public sup
port in any law they devise for preventing the
blackmail that has been levied upon them but few
people will have much faith in the success of their
efforts. No statute transform the Monaghan into
a white man. it rid of Monaghan vices a
country where Mongolians permitted to live

Mrs. X. is allowed a goodly sum of pin
money by her indulgent spouse, but 1T is
not always made to stretch sufficiently
far, and Mr. x. has been called upon to
meet the deficiency so often that he has
finally grown tired of it, consequently
when his wife made mention of a new
bonnet the other night, which she could
not possibly get along without and which
she did not have the money to pay for,
he listened to her tale of woe to the Bit
ter end. Then, taking up piece of pa
per LAYING on the table wrote the follow
ing upon it:
When lovely woman, moved to folly,
Wants a bonnet chic and gay,
The way to get her wish, dear MOllie.
Is for her TO save up and ray.

surprise Let me know what you think
of it:
When lovely woman wants bonnet
And wants it badly. dearest Will,
She'll have it. just depend upon it,
Though friend not husband, foots the bill.
The milliner is making for Mrs. X. the
best thing in bonnetS that she can turn
out on an order from Mr.. x, in which he
tells her that speed, not expense, is the
important factor.
