American trade with China will depend
on the amount of support which our
government shall give to the open
door policy, which thus far has been
advocated 10y the British government
alone. We suppose there is no doubt
that the United States will exert its in.
fluence in support of the British policy
in China and it seems safe TO assume
that this win be sufficient to maintain
that policy, at least for some years if
not for all time. Our government has
fully committed itself to this policy in
respect to the Philippines and will make
all proper efforts, undoubtedly, in the
interest of its observance in China to
the extent it is now observed.

Too Close Imitation.
w. &. CALDERWOOD.

A lady once hired a Chinese cook,
and having heard of the wonderful
initiative memory of the Chinese, she
requested his close attention while she
made her favorite cake. When it
came to the eggs, of which her recipe
called for two, she broke them in a
cup as a precaution against an often
sively stale ingredient. The first
proved satisfactory, but not so the sec
ond, and while holding her nose, she
hastily dumped it in the sink and
opened the faucet. Procuring a clean
cup, the next one was broken and
passed muster. AS she started down
street shopping few days later, she
told John to make a cake as she did,
and he assured her he remembered it
all. The first egg opened with pop
and gave forth an odor that would
have turned whole colony of pole
cats green with envy, but John de-
murely put it in the cake. The second
egg proved to be fresh and perfect but
John clapped his hand to his nose and
rushed to the sink and turned on a
flood of water, while he procured a
clean cup and broke the third egg,
which proved more vile if possible
than the first, but it was mixed in with
the cake, which, it is said, differed in
flavor from the one made by the mis-
tress.
Some temperance people, who, like
John Chinaman, mean well, exhibit
the same grade of sagacity in their i'm
tation. They say: ''The saloonist
stays in his own party and wins. I'll
do likewise, and win" And SO the
temperance man initiates too closely
and stays in the saloonists' own party,
instead of the temperance mans own
party, which naturally wins-for the
saloon man. If they would initiate,
they should initiate, and antagonize
any man in any party, and any party
regardless of it's men, unless both
party and men are squarely for the ex-
tirpation of the saloon.

DOUGLAS CYCLE CLUB.
Although it is an lnfan', it is Not a Kid by
Any Means.

Although the infant bicycle club of
Worcester, the Douglas Cycle Club
claims as one of its numbers one of
the best known riders in America, Ma
jor Taylor. He was elected to honorary
membership on the eve of Washington S
birthday when the club was organized.
At present there are about so names on
the membership roll, and among them
at least ten riders compare favorably
with any other ten men picked from
clubs in Worcester. The majority of
members belonged at one time to the
Albion Bicycle Club which entered
teams in several road races in New
England last year and made a credit
able showing.
Owing to mismanagement, the club
was not such a success as the members
desired and interest in the organization
Jagged. The formation of the Douglas
gave ray of hope to members who
were warmed up on bicycle riding, and
early in the year the formation of a
club was talked off.
Several meetings were called at
which the matter was discussed. and
the prime movers Of the scheme to form
a club decided that the sentiment
among the members strongly favored
club. was formed, 80 names were placed
on the roll of membership, and Monday
night at least 10 more were added, while
at other meetings names have been
continually added till the number of
members is now over 50.
The club will be a part of the Doug
las Social Club. and no person not a.
member of the Douglas Club is eligible
to membership in the cycle club. of
course, the members naturallyview with
pride Major Taylor's performances on
the track during the past year, and he
VIII at all times be looked upon as the
only champion by the members.
As an honor to him, at the meeting
Monday night, they adopted blue and
black as the club colors. because the
major always appeared in these colors
when cutting down records and speedy
opponents.
While the riders in the club want to
enter with the fast ones, they feel that
it will be impossible to compete with
the men who have had the advantage
Of steady training for number of
