ONE ACCOMPLISHMENT.
4 Finland Maiden who Had One
Qualification for the Posi-
tlon of Cook.

The servant girl question is even more
difficult in small western cities than it
is in New York. There no lady ventures
to ask reference, but contents herself
with verbal examination of her appli-
cant's capabilities.
There was an avalanche of Swedes
and Finlanders in Pacific slope town last
winter, and one wild-haired damsel pre-
sented he. self as candidate for $2O-a-
month position as cook. The prospective
mistress thus interrogated her:
Can you make good bread?"
"Brod? Nav"
"Can you make soup?"
Soup? Nav"
..'Do you understand roasting meats" I
"Meat? Nav"
"Can you broil?"
"Naw"

'"Can you ws&h and iron?"

The Finlander reflected. Then she an

WITH WATCHFUL EYES.
Japan Sees Other Nations Dismember
China and Now Demands IA Share.

Vancouver, b. c., April 6.-Advices
from the far east brought 10y the
steamer Empress of Japan indicate
that Japan has watched with Jealous
eyes Italy's recent attempt to get
lease Of San Nun bay. The japanese
press recently circulated report that
the United States was demanding con-
cessions. Marquis Ito, Japan's great
est statesman. was interviewed on the
subject but said he was not much con-
cerned at the reported American de-
mand, contending that ..othing need be
feared, as all countries held the same
rights as far as settlements were con-
cerned. Marquis Ito has, however,
been in communication with III Hung
Chang and advised various reforms.
He said partition of China would be
inevitable should China persist in he1
present course of action. In the San
Nun affair the japanese are saying
that their government must abandon
the hold aloof roIicy hitherto adopted
and demand some substantial grant of
land from China.
Mr.. Yalo, Japanese minister at Pc
kin, has applied to the Chinese gov
crnment for five new settlements for
Japan's exclusive use to be opened at
Foochow, Annoy, New Chwang, Shang-
hal and Chungkiang, in addition TO
Tfenstin and Hanllow, settlements
which have been conceded already. 1t
is stated that the Chinese government
fas decided to entertain these demands
with the exception of Shanghai and

Pinar del Rio. The Cuban troops in

They come high. but we must have
them. This brief statement does not
begin to cover their expense. because
in addition to these there are others,
many others. The figures given DO not
include the armies in the field in times
of peace and war. The last army APP
preparation bill aggregated upwards
of $SO,0O0,0 900.
Moreover. in addition to the pay of
the general staff. given above, the gov
ernment pays four cents per mile to
officers who are travelling, and this is
in addition TO their paid transporta-
ton furnished by the quartermaster
generals department. For example,
an officer ordered from Boston to Ma
Mia would travel about $1,000 miles,
and he would get four cents per mile
in addition to his paid transportation.
The government would take him to
Manila. and pay him $3.50 additional
for making the trip. Consequently, the
because every trip they make in
creases their annual incomes.
Private soldiers get nothing but
their transportation, their food and
clothing, and the opportunity to be
killed. But the officers are better paid
than in any other country. Moreover,
they have gold braid, epaulettes, So
ciety advantages, hops, dances and
opportunities to marry heiresSes. Even
with the risk of life in battle, in these
days when wars seldom occur it is
much better for young men to seek ap-
pointments as army officers than to go
into politics and aspire for the presi-
dency. Almost any good fellow can
get to be an army officer. but few sue

HISTORIC

washington Cor. Philadelphia Record:
A committee of Potomac Masonic Lodge
NO. 5, Georgetown. had a remarkable
chase afser George Washington's historic
Masonic gavel, following the Washing
ton exercises in which President McKin-
ley participated at Mt. Vernon on Thurs
DAY last. The gavel. a precious relic, was
on that occasion used by Grand Master
Duke, of Virginia. who, with President
Mckinley and other prominent officials.
occupied a position on the portico OF the
Old nome. 1t was the same implement
employed by Washington at the time Of
the laying of the corner stone of tho
United States capitol. The lodge has
been offered several thousand dollars for
it. but has refused to part with it. 1t
is kept in the vault of the Farmers and
Mechanics National bank, and is never
taken from the place unless by the con-
sent of the lodge, and then it is always
accompanied by a special committee.
The usual precautions We're observed
by Potomac lodge on Thursday last. but
at the conclusion of the ceremonies the
presidential party left hurriedly by a
private entrance. and the committee was
not permitted to follow Grand Master
Duke, who had the gavel. Rushing
around to the rear of the mansion. the
custodians learned that the party had
gone on board the boat. upon which none
'but the president and his distinguished
companions were permitted to enter.
Inc ANXIOUS men followed by the next
Eoat, landed at Alexandria, learned that
Duke did not stop there. followed him to
Washington traced him to the Ejbbit house
and there learned that he had placed the
gavel in charge of j. H. Small, Jr.. Past
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge Of the
district.
Tracing Mr.. Small, first to his store,
then to his home, the committee learned
that he had turned the gavel over to b.
w. Murch. of Thirty-fifth street. George
town. who was Master of George c.
Whiting lodge No. %. F. A. A. NJ, last
year. Wearily hunting him up. they
/ learned that he had turned it over to DR..
Charles Becker, Royal Arch Captain of
the Grand Royal Arch Chapter Of the
district.
Hunting up Mr.. Becker. with consider
able difficulty, the committee discovered
that he had left the precious relic at the
store with his son. and the custodians
reached that place just in time to get
young Becker to unlock the store. go back
in and unlock the safe and get the gavel
for them.
This gavel has had quite a history even
since ashington's time. 1t was even
sent to Boston, where it was stolen.
The whole Masonic fraternity of the
country was notified of the event. and
eventually the treasure was discovered
resting in a pawnshop. It was promptly
redeemed. and has been jealousy guard
ed ever since.
