THEIR RUBBER srRlNo oAME-

eOys Who Deceived the Ticket Choppsss
of tho bridge In Rush Helrs.
From the New York Sun: An old
time trick has enabled several boys 70
ride over the Brooklyn bridge for sew
eral months free OF charge. Perhaps
this would still be going on were II not
for boyish desire TO brag Several
boys were seated near the door In the
rear OF bridge car recently talking in
an undertone. One was telling his
eRen- -mouthed listeners what great
things he was doing In the rubber
strine game" A brakeman who stood
by the half open door became interest
- and listened TO ind out just what
the rubber string game" was. The
conversation didn't last long enough
for the brakeman to become acquaint-
ed fully with the W kings OF the game,
but he heard a word here and there
that convinced him that II wasn't an
honest game and that ia some way the
boys were cheating the bridge RuthoTl-
ties by IT, He told several of the
ticket choppers about II and they
agreed to keep a lookout for the boys
The lads came over only In rush hours
and that made the task Of watching
them more difficult After several
days the only thing the choppers dis
covered was that the boys came along
with the crowd. held a ticket close over
the top OF the box. opened their fingers
and the ticket disappeared. but wheth-
er II went into the box OF not they
couldn't say, because 80 many tickets
were dropped In the box at once.
Finally one OF the choppers decided
to risk holding up one OF the suspected
boys. Accordingly the next night Just
rs the boy raised his hand over the box
the chopper grabbed him. With look
OF surprise the boy asked what the mat
ter was. The chopper said something
about a ticket when the boy raised his
ether hand ana deposited a Ticket In
the box. and. grinning. walked on. SIN
the choppers decided to watch, and one
night last week their patience was re-
warded. This night about o'clock,
during the heaviest rush, = chopper
saw a boy stop a few PAGES from the
box. tumble with his coat sleeve a mo-
meat and then walk up ana apparently
drop a ticket in the box. The man
grabbed him by the wrist aud held up
the arm. In the sleeve was a bridge
ticket attached 10 an elastic band. The
ticket had a hole punched IN Il and
the elastic was tied 10 H. The other
end OF the elastic was fastened 10 the
boys wrist, 80 that when he opened the
fingers which held the ticket II snap
ped up his sleeve out Of sight
Tho boy struggled hard 20 get away
when he saw tislt the game was dis
covered, but the chopper held on and
handed him over 10 a policeman. Thea
with tears ne youngster told how he
and other boys had been cheating the
bridge people for months. The boy
was LET go. but not before the police
man had given him a shaking His
companions have reformed.

ROBUINg mn gOTFRVMrNr

Honest payment For honest service,
in time Of war or in time OF peace, is
all that should be asked Of the govern
ment by individuals or corpora ions
But such a rule seems never TO be
thought Of by those who do business
with the government, and the desire
TO plunder runs riot, especially in time
OF war.
Contractors rob the government,
Suffers rob the soldiers. Men who
have ships TO sell as transports or as
auxiliary cruisers demand two prices
and generally succeed in getting what
they demand.
This has been the history OF affairs
on the Pacific coast Transports have
been refused 70 the government ex
cept on terms that were simply out
rageous.
Such robbery as this should be stop
ped. The United States should i'm
press all the transports it needs re
gardless Of protests, and the paymen
for the use of such boats should b,
made at the figures set by honest ant
judicious appraisers.
There is too much concession on tn
part Of the authorities TO the grasping
unpatrotic, dishonest met men wh'
want to make robber gains out Of ma
tional necessities.
These thieves should be brought nj
with a round turn. They should b
taught a lesson. What the natioi
needs it should take, and pay homes
prices for honest service.

Chinese colors. In place of the Yule
log, there is steaming pot of tea; for
the boar's head there is young pig
roasted; for the punch bowl and drink
ing horn there is wicker covered bottle
or graceful wine pitcher filled with
some strange but aromatic stimulant.
The mistletoe and holly are replaced by
bouquets and garlands of artificial flow
ers, and here and there are pots Of
blooming narcissi or even a rosebush.
On the family altar, and nearly every
Chinaman, no matter how poor, has his
own altar, before which he prays and
makes silent repentance, are burning
incense sticks, a bronze casket with
smoldering sandalwood within, a light
ed candle and often flaming votive
candle, gay in scarlet and gold. At the
temple a throng visits the angels par
ticular shrine. Some explode firecrack-
ers in her honor. Others ignite packs of
joss sticks in gratitude for her favors
the past year and in hope of their con-
tinuance during the harvest to come.
Then come those who ask the angel to
be present at the funeral of a parent or
child, the marriage of a son, the setting
out on journey, the bedside of a sick
room. After prayer the poor priests
and servitors Of the temple are remem-
bered in a few small coins. A bundle
of prayer papers is burned in the great
iron or bronze urn of the temple stairs,
and the religious ceremony is over for
the day. The good man or woman goes
home content that the spirit of the
north is disarmed and the angel of light
placated. WILLIAM E. S. FALKs.

winter solstice, when the days begin to
lengthen and to hint at coming spring.
The Yule log, the drinking bowl or
horn, the boar's head, the holly, mistle-
toe and evergreen were then symbols of
material rather than spiritual truths.
The American, Scandinavian, Ger
man and Englishman keep up the an
cient custom, while the Latin races seem
to know nothing about it. They cele-
brate New Years day, and do it in the
same fashion as we at Christmas.
The Chinese and japanese came GEN.
turies ago from Mongolia and Siberia,
their early if not original home. Living
in land whose winter brought snow
and ice, they also noticed and rejoiced
over the solstice and the return of the
sun. Their merriment took the form of
eating, drinking and generous hospital
ity and developed into great festival
like our own. By degrees it was trans
ferred to their New Years, where it
still remains.
Yet even today the astrologers notice
the solstice in their almanacs, horo-
scopes and tables, and in the last week
of the month are two festivals, whose
nature is charmingly poetic. About
Dec. % is that of the genius of the
north (who is the evil spirit of ice and
winters privation) and about Dec. 30 il
that Of the angel of sunlight. In the
same week is the day of Chang Sin, the
tutelary deity of parenthood, to whom
young married couples pray for healthy
male issue. The first and second are the
equivalents of Yule, the pref Christian
Yule. The first contains an element of
humor. The Mongolian is gladly bid
ding goodby to the cruel ice spirit. He
does not wish the latter to see his hilar-
ity lest spiritual vengeance be aroused
and cold spell in March or April ruin
the crops. So he puts little cups of
fragrant tea, plates Of sliced boiled
chicken and pieces Of roasted spiced
pork on a we'll carved table where the
winter ghost can regale himself with
comfort. But at the same time, to pre-.
vent his invisible visitor playing any
pranks, John Chinaman pastes written
talismans on the wall, burns joss sticks
in groups of three at every point vulner-
able to malicious goblins and even fas-
tens porcelain charm to his rooftree.
When 1t comes to the festival of the
angel Of light, the observant traveller
can see the spirit Of Yule shine out in
