Doesn't Like Women,

Geheimrah Kuno Fisher, the cele-
brated professor of philosophy at the
University of Heidelberg, has an anus
ing idiosyncrasy in the way of abomi-
mating the presence of women at his lee
lures. Though of late he has become
somewhat more lenient, still it is with
great unwillingness that he permits
young women students to come to his
classes. On one occasion, before he had
in any measure relaxed upon this point,
a young woman went to his lecture
room and took a seat at one of the front
rows of desks. 1t is the custom for all
the students to be in their places be-
fore the professor arrives. When his
excellency mounted the platform and
cast his glance over the audience he
was not little surprised to find wom-
an there. Nothing daunted, he walked
down from his desk, went up to the
young woman and, presenting his arm,
escorted her out of the room, not q word
being exchanged. Needless to say she
was never again, venturesome enough
to repeat the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Record.

OUR INTERESTS UNFRAMED.
Omcial Assurancen Given That United
States IL Not Affected by Recent
Events In China.

Washington, May 6.-Ofiicial assur-
ances have been given to our govern
ment that the agreement reached be-
tween Great Britain and Russia as to
spheres of influence in China concerns
only the two parties, and that in no
manner does it affect the interests of
the United States. The agreement does
not amount to seizure of the lands in
China defined as being within either of
the two spheres, and even should any
territory be acquired in them by either
of the parties to this agreement the
United States, it has been stated, will
not be the subject of any discrimination
in commercial or trade matters. Such
rights as are now possessed in treaty
ports will continue to be enjoyed freely
by the United States. In view of the
fact that the recent agreement pre-
sented new and important features
through the inclusion for the first time
in the territory subject to it of cities
that had long been treaty ports, this
assurance is regarded here as of the
greatest value.

A BROAD GUAGE BUSINESS MAN.

He did not use his energies upon the COM
mon plan
OF boarding every cent you get and get
ting all you can,
But mingled love with labor that the net
result might bless
His struggling fellow creatures. and he
called this large success.
He garnered treasures for both worlds, his
gains were thus immense.
Judicious combination of the dollars and
the sense.
He joyed not in the Jingle Of mere cold met
allie coin,
He loved with humblest beggars his small
jubilees to join.
A greater boon to him was giving dainties
to child
Than by the richest banquets to be padded
and beguiled.
Far more to him were dollars bringing in-
terest in thanks
Than turned to selfish luxurles or bagged
in safes and banks.
His money changed to needfuls he invest
ed in the poor.
HIS coupons were the prayers OF all who
suffer and endure,
A coin converted into help was happiness
to him,
And gold not nobly utilized was dubious
and dim.
Inc mlSerS CalleQ MIN maQNdn, the Nam.
mon men said "fool,''
He held free silver" notions based upon
the golden rule.
And to that double standard" he adapted
all his ways,
His nights alight with loving and his days
made glad with praise.
Those men might sneer who grudgingly
gave but their stingy dole;
But his large heart was happy and the
sunshine warmed his soul.
His life through love grew larger, his soul
lowered to the skies,
The selfish called him witless, but the
angels called him wise.
And when at last he slumbored, yielding
with a smile his breath
A loyal guide and guardian was the angel
men call Death.
He left no boarded dollars. but had treas
ures stored above,
Where none like filthy lucre but make cur
rency of love.
The money-mad derided him and Knocked
his methods here,
But in the Golden City he can read his
title clear
To rank amongst the mobiles as matchless
financier.
