The subject OF young lady's essay,
who was graduated from high school
in an Ohio town, was Hawthorne
and in her essay she said, "At the age
of thirty-nine Hawthorne married and
took his wife to the old manse." The
day after the commencement one of the
village maidens called on Miss E., and
in talking the affair over, remarked:
Wasn't it awful that Maude should
say such q thing In her essay?" Miss
q. inquired to what she alluded. "Why,
she said at the age of thirty-nine Haw-
thorne married and took his wife to the
old MANS Why didn't she say to his
father-In-law's?"

YANKEES WHIPPED PlorAL PIRATES,
Tho Debut of the United States Navy in
Chinese Waters.


The first passage at arms between
American citizens and Chinese was in
1909, when Mr.. J. p. Sturgis, of Bos-
ton, arrived in the ship Atahualpa,
Captain Bacon, at Macao. The ter
rible Chinese pirate Apootsae was then
ravaging the coast, capturing imperial
forts, laying whole towns under con-
tribution, massacreing those who OPP
posed HIM, and terrorizing the man
darins. In vain were rewards offered
for his head. Having watched and
seen the chief officer and an armed
boats crew leaving the Atahualpa for
the city to obtain river pilot, he
thought the capture of the foreign
DEVILS ship would be easy. Ranging
his junks under color of moving up the
river, and feigning to run past the
American ship, the pirates suddenly
rounded, expecting to leap on board
and kill the eighteen or twenty men
left there. Instead of quick success,
the Chinaman caught q tartar. AS
founded as the Yankees were, their
cannon were fortunately loaded, and
they made lively use of them, and with
Brown Bess muskets, horse-pistols,
and bankruptcies, defended them
selves with spirit. The Chinese threw
on deck plenty of those home made
hand-grenades which, owing to the
quantity of sulphur in the powder,
were unpoetically termed "stink-
potts." but they killed none of their
foes. Amid the shrieks aud groaDs Of
their wounded, hellish din with
gongs and drums was kept up. The
Yankees fired with such effect that the
Chinese were beaten off. Apootsae
called away his men, and his ships
were soon lost to sight, This episode
put such courage into the cowardly
mandarins that by means of bribery
and treachery, they secured the cut
throat Apootsae, and had him put to
death by the slow and prolonged pro-
cess of hacking, called "the thousand
cuts" From this time forth there
was intense respect for Americans at
Canton and Macao, and business in
creased with little interruption.-From

from the horse. The buggy, with the
