THE GOOD SAMARlTAN1N CHINA
He Would Have Been Likely to Get Him
! self Into Troub,e.

I self Into Trouble. -,
One dark evening l was returning
home from a call on one OF our Eng
fish neighbors in Taiyuenfu, writes
Prof. C. NJ. Cady in Century. When not
far from our compound the road
crossed an open space of several acres
in extent. AS l was finding my way
along by the dim light of a Chinese
lantern, / nearly stumbled over the
body of a 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
I did not, but hurried home to get aid.
Mr.. Y was still with us, and on hearing
my statement said:
Eyes, | know; the man is dead, and
it is fortunate that you did not attempt
to touch the body. Should : now
try to remove it, or even go 10 Il, we
should no doubt be seen, and at once
suspicion would attach itself to US, and
none could tell the consequences. We
might cause a riot before morning.
1t should be said that this suspicion
would not have been because we were
foreigners, for a 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.

Some Late Cou-s occasions Alb the De-
i, .,fense OF Property.
. , The right of a. householder to shoot
at fleeing burglar has been discussed
recently in several newspapers and
legal periodicals.
A correspondent of the London
Times says he saw burglars escaping
from his house after stealing some
plate, and he fired two shots after
them Later in the night he met one
of the burglars and secured some of
the stolen silver He would then have
shot at the burglar running away with
the remaining booty if he had not left
his revolver at home.
The correspondent afterward doubt
ed whether he had the legal right to
use his weapon when the burglar was
running away, and he consulted two
or three judges who were his friends.
He was advised that he might shoot
burglar fleeing in the dark to prevent
his escape from arrest.
In an English court recently a house
holder was tried for assault on the
complaint of self-confessed burglar.
whom he discovered in his kitchen and
whom he shot in the body. The bur-
glar in his testimony appeared to
think that the householder took an
unfair advantage in firing from dark
room into the kitchen, where the thief
was pursuing his occupation by candle
light. The judge, however, directed
an acquittal.
The Pennsylvania supreme court has
reversed the conviction of manslaugh-
ter in the case of a Waynesburg citi-
zen who shot and killed a thief as he
was leaving his stable The burglar
had stolen part of a set of harness
from the stable on previous night,
and had promised to deliver the rest of
it to an intending purchaser, and SO
returned to the stable to complete the
theft.
The citizen called on the thief to
stop, and fred shot in the air. The
thief turned and seized the household
er, who then again discharged the re-
volver, inflicting fatal wound.
A Pennsylvania jury on come pecul-
lar theory convicted the defendant,
but the supreme court minated that
he had right to pursue a. ny. Inc

A Couple of Drummers Who Had Struck
Extremes.
A Chicago drummer and New York
drummer met in hotel one night and
talked ten minutes of trade, ten

Signs OF Longevity.
The primary conditions Of longevity
are that the heart, lungs and digestive

The brain will be deeply seated, as
shown by the orifice of the ear being

The town of Mentone, in the south of
France, has long been resort for con-
sumptives. Latterly, it is reported,
they have failed to derive much benefit
from q stay in it's borders, and the num-
Der of such visits is greatly reduced
SIT is claimed that the soil of the neigh
borhood has become impregnated with
germs, and that instead of giving re-
lief to sufferers it is now the last place
on earth to which they should resort.
1t is even stated that the natives of the
locality, who once presented such a
vigorous and hardy appearance, have
acquired the look of invalids them
selves, and that disease is now reg
nant where the best of health once pre-
vailed. The decline of Mentone as a
health resort is cited as a conclusive
proof of the germ theory of disease"
