aged white-haired
man is vending his way-at short inter
vals he stops suddenly, gazing over the
hedge side, where the moon is shining
through the leafiess snow-covered trees
advancing a few PAGES he stops once
more before ruined tower, fast crum-
bling to decay.
"God bless the dear old landmarks" he
murmured, "many and many a time have
I stood beside you in my dreams when
the great ocean rolled between us-at
last, like the load-stone that attracts the
needle, you have brought the wanderer
back. Oh, sweet Install, the smallest
blade Of grass that grows in your green
dells is a million times more precious to
me than all the wealth and grandeur I
have seen on foreign shores"
Having reached the cottage, he was
met at the door by tai, ,well-built, ven.
cradle looking man.
"Can you give me shelter for a short
timer asked the stranger.
Il can, or for long time, If you need
it-though not very long, now l come TO
remember, for in a few weeks l won't
be able to call this house my own. Isn't
that the truth, Mary?" he added, looking
at his wife, busily plying her needle near
a bright turf fire.
'It is indeed-the bitter truth-may
God in his mercy protect u.s." said his
wife.
"And how long have you lived in this
cosy cottage" asked the stranger.
Fifty years, sir. My father built it. 1
married the good wife you see beside me
in it. reared big family in it, but
they're scattered far away from us now.

Some Interesting Facts About the Chinese

Some Interesting Facts About the Chinese

Philadelphia. Oct S.--A Chinaman In
America is an interesting personality
wherever you find him and however
accustomed he has become to the ways
OF the country. A Chinaman trans
ported in few days from the byways
of Canton and Fow Chow to the full
glare OF an American city is stun moro
curious. There are 500 such China
men now wandering about the aisles
and exhibits of the National Export
exposition. They have not yet been
walled up within the enclosure OF their
artificial village. In the meantime the
denizens of this section Of the exposl-
tlon Esplanade mingle with the Curl
Gus crowds through the exhibition
buildings the most interested and in
terestlng features of the exhibition
throng. The Chinese have come di-
rectly from their Oriental home. and
have had no opportunity TO lose the
distinctiveness OF their nationality
and domestic habits and occupations.
They are constructing a Chinese quar-
ter with that infinite patience and
fidelity to detail characteristic of the
race. after the real Chinese fashion.
and deport themselves just as they did
few weeks ago when they were in
habitants Of the Flowery kingdom.
The managers of the Chinese village
have had no end OF trouble with the
custom house authorities, but they
have finally settled with the officials
OF the treasury department.
The village, which is the greatest
concession on the Esplanade, and in
some respects the most interesting.
consists of a winding street, upon
which Chinese shops. a joss house.
Chinese restaurants, Chinese private
houses and a Chinese theater open to
the public. The village covers an area
OF nearly 10000 square feet AS the
buildings are numerous and extensive.
the work Of preparing them for ex-
hibition has taken a correspondingly
long time, but the manager, Yam Phon
Lee. has arranged for an opening of
his village on Saturday. In the mean
time the villagers are busy building

years. A few Of them are students

tiles Of electricity as a means OF en-
tertainment seem to be limitless. Some
OF the wonders OF electrical light ar
rangement and the astonishing things
which can be pictured by an electric
current are vividly and beautifully
shown in one Of the theaters on the

Edison Electric Fairyland. is said to
be the most expensive of all the enter
tainments to be seen upon the Export
exposition's broad thoroughfare. In
producing the astonishing effect to be
seen IN the fairyland the use of 5000
muiti-colored electric lights In various
combinations Is required. Among the
most striking and beautiful effects is
a scene painted with fire representing
the sport of the fays and the fairies,
and is appropriately named Mischief
Brewing or the Elves Fire Frolic q"
The figures Of Japanese iugglers in
their deft tricks are painted with a
countless number OF tiny electric bulbs,

meet the eye from every point IS an
effective show in itself The front OF
the building in which these wonders
are shown is brilliantly illuminated at
night, an electrical clock being one OF
