Removing a CITY.

The Japanese Government has or
dered the destruction of the city of
Teckcham, Formosa, and removal of
all its inhabitants to a new location.
The city is situated on the northwest
coast of the island, and has been fire.
quently subject to pestilence. In 1896
and 1897 plaques visited Teckcham
with enormous fatality. This fact be-
ing called to the attention of the Gov
eminent, an Investigation was ordered
by sanitary experts, who reported that
the city was built upon swamp,
whereupon an order was issued to the
Governor to select q new location as
convenient to the old one as possible,
where the natural conditions were
healthful. A new city was laid out,
and each property-holder in the old
one was assigned site that CORE
sponded in area with that he occupied
at Teckcham, and was given twelve
months to remove his buildings and
belongings. Sewers, railroads and
sidewalks, public building, water
works, and all other public improve
ments were laid out by the Govern
ment in the new city without expense
to the people, but they were required
to pay the cost of the removal of their
own property. Most of the houses
and other buildings in Teckcham are
built of very light wooden material.

The Value of Nerve.

Tim going to keep that man be.
cause admire nerve" said a wealthy
business man at his downtown Office
the other day. ct don't know vet
what he can do, but I'm going to find
out and then put him at it, no matter
if it's cleaning stables and stocking
furnaces. He came to me recently
when I advertised for an experienced
goodman. Oh, yes, he knew all about
horses, how to drive them and lust
how to care for them, as we'll as every
thing else about the barns. The truth
was that he didn't have the first quail
fication. He buckled the harnesses
together and then tried to put them
on over the horses heads; didn't know
. coupe from surry; turned the hose
on the silk Innings of the brougham.
and would have had runaway on the
first go of if the barn boy and police
man had not lent hand.
"I've been using him for q sort Of
an errand boy, but he doesn't fill the
bill. My folks are away and Tuesday
1 sent him to the house for Q pair of
fur gloves, telling him that there were
two pair. one dark, one light, and
urged him to be sure to bring mates.
He came back with one of each, and I
took pains to show him just how he
had blundered. But the other two
don't mate no more nor these two
was all the explanation he had to offer.
I told him to get me 100 postage
stamps, handing him . $40 bill. He
brought back 100 ten-centers. The
next day he wanted raise in wages.
But I'll find something for him to do.

experiences Of IN American Who Has
Founded . Paper In Manila.

| Founded . Paper In Manila.
One Of the first results of the infu.
sion OF American spirit and ideas into
the Philippines is an up-to-date Yam.
kee newspaper called the American
Soldier, published in Manila. The first
number has just arrived in New York.
1t is four-psge sheet, the columns Of
which are full Of interesting personal
matter regarding Uncle Sans soldiers
in the Pacific islands.
The name Of George A. Smith an.
pears as that Of the managing editor.
Mr.. Smith advises the public that his
newspaper will be published weekly
and sold ct Eve cents per copy, SIN
American COIN" The leading edi.
torial, after commenting upon the
great enterprise necessary to establish
q paper in the United States, says that
in Manila the task is even greater.
Involving as it does the transaction
of business with -English-speak-
ing people. who are crafty and suspi-
cious in their dealings and decidedly
slow in grasping the ideas Of American
push and energy"
Editor Smith forestalls criticism of
the Typography Of the American Sol
der in q paragraph which says:
Don't blame the proofreader nor
the writer for the errors in grammar
or orthography. The type Is set up
BY native Filipinos, and it would have
taken . proofreader with dozen pairs
of eyes to have discovered the errors
they have made.
The funny man on the American
Soldier cracks joke and apologies
for it in the same breath. He says:
Dewey Merritt success? No bon.
quets, pleased We won't do it again"
Under the head of "Bum Notes from
the Band" the paper says that 'sthe
boys give Q short concert every night.
It is unnecessary to say why they are
80 short. There are few fatalities.
however, and very few wounded. Gen.
eral Merritt escaped before they had q
chance to serenade him. They were
all very sore, but grief such as that
soon fades. At least in this climate It
outs no ice."
The advertisements in the American
Soldier are from Manila merchants in
various lines of trade. One saloon
keeper calls his place the American. /"
He announces that Refreshments for
the inner man are served ice cold at
all times, except when closed" The
proprietor Of the "Alhambra, /" or the
American Atlantic Garden" urges
the public to call and have 'slunch
