The Chinaman,s .RoII."

Of all the men who make their way
about on the streets or in the street cars
in this frosty weather, John Chinaman
is the most comfortably clad, and, there
fore, the most comfortable He does not
look it, but the Chinaman has the knack
of getting a lot of warm quilted cloth
ing next to his yellow skin. His blouse
is, of course, of heavy material, and the
thick soles of his odd shoes keep his feet
warm.
Neither does John have to fidget
around and unbutton his clothing, ex-
posing himself to the cold blasts that
blow through the street car, to fish out
his nickel for fare. Before he leaves
home he sticks nickel in his ear-right
handy to reach when the conductor
comes around.
In just what part of his odd clothing
John carries his money is problem not
even the long and the short men have
been able to solve. The average China
man carries a bundle "big enough to
choke horse as the saying is, but,
though often tried no hold up man has
ever prospected successfully for the roll
in his victims mysterious wraps, and
the average thief would just as soon
tackle a guaranteed burglar proof safe
as a Chinaman.- Chicago Chronicle.

A letter to the editor which has just
appeared in the leading papers of Pa

the most feared and murderous of Sicil-

the readers that he has expelled from his

Care For Others Property.

Gathered in all religious assemblages
there are many who have trust funds
It is compliment to you that you have
been so intrusted, but charge you, in
the presence of God and the world, be
as careful of the property of others as
you are careful of your own. Above all,
keep your own private account at the
bank separate from your account as
trustee of an estate or trustee of an in
stitution. That is the point at which
thousands of people make shipwreck
They get the property of others mixeo
up with their own property; they put it
into investment, and away it all goes,
and they cannot return that which they
borrowed. Then comes the explosion,
and the money market is shaken, and
the press denounces and the church
thunders expulsion. You have no right
to use the property of others, except for
their advantage, nor without consent,
unless they are minors. If with their
consent you invest their property as
well as you can and it is all lost, you
are not to blame. You did the best you
could. But do not come into the delu-
sion which has ruined so many men of
thinking because a thing is in their
possession therefore it is theirs. Yot
have solemn trust that God has give
you. In any assemblage there may be
some who have misappropriated trust
funds. Put them back, or if you have
SO hopelessly involved them that you
cannot put them back confess the whole

THE PRTNTCLOTH MARKET.

Fall River, Mass. May (SpeciaD.-The week just
ended proved OF the best record In local
print-cloth circles condition brought about by
an enormous sale Of prints this morning Up TO
Friday night the market had been firm and the
sales equalled about half OF the production. This
morning an million pieces sold at the
market quotation, 2& cents 1t was the largest
transaction ever made here and It established be-
yond any shadow OF doubt the strength OF the
market and the power OF the Selling Committee.
For time there has been dickering between
the Selling Committee or the local trust and certain
buyers, and 10000 pieces OF cloth hung In the
balance. The buyers would take the amount named
at an eighth off, but the Selling Committee refused
the offer. The bidders held OF they were said
be getting cloth in Rhode Island markets and the
s M ff the Rve d go
until satisfied that they could not break the market
Then they, asked to have an agreement that no
cloth would be sold here within ninety or one hum
dred days below the figure demanded. The trust
could not agree. for when formed It was decided
Yesterday all of the treasurers In the trust were
visited and they agreed TO maintain the price for a
stated time. As a result the deal was closed this
forenoon. and with 1t went the clause that goods
should be sold below the quotation before October l.
1t is understood that half Of the goods go TO the
American Printing Company and the remainder to
the Algonquin Hamilton, Merrmac and other
company, and from this II can he that there
were some big concerns not represented.
This sale does not clean up all the goods that
will be made here between now and October. There
are about 275 900 pieces hand and the production
10000 pieces a week The print works that have
bought will not be more than third supplied by
