she is feeling ike a new person.

THE BIG CHINESE LETTER.

The most singular document that
was ever addressed to our govern
ment was from the Emperor Of
China 10 the President of the Unit
ed States Il cannot remember to
which of our former presidents.) 1t
consisted of roll seven feet, one
inch long by two feet, eleven inches
wide: The writing was on q field of
plain. yellow silk, with a margin of
silk of the same color, embroidered
in gold thread. The letter was in
two languages, Chinese and Manchu
Tartar) in characters of large size,
and in perpendicular columns, which
were separated in the middle by the
imperial seal which is composed of
Chinese characters, enclosed in a
csrtouche about three inches square.
This roll was enclosed in a wrapper
of yellow silk (yellow being the i'm
perial color which again was en-
closed in a round box covered with
yellow silk, and closed by two fast
enings of jade stone; and finally en-.
closed in an oblong square box of
rosewood, and padded and lined
with yellow silk.
The whole purport Of the letter
was that the Emperor had been
much pleased that mutual inter
change Of friendly relations had
taken piece. He concludes, Nov

And from the smothered whoops

getting it all. His sister had over

RABeLAIs AND rnr CHANCELLOR

RABELAIs AND THE CHANCELLOR.
AT Montpelier no one ean obtain
the degree Of doctor in medicine
without lirst receiving seven times
the hat and robe Of Radicals, which
are deposited in the ca tile Of Morac.
Such is the veneratiun paid to bis
memory by those who have the
regulation OF that Academy. The
reason Tor it is this:
Some students created such ire
ouent disturbances in the city, as
gave rise to many complaints being
made against them at court. The
consequence was, that several OF the
students we're confined and the
privileges of the Academy debarred
them. Rabelais was then at Mont
pelier, and, through a very merry
fellow, deeply partook OF the sorrow
which these events occasioned.
He resolved to make an attempt
TO obtain the release of the students,
and a reinstatement in their accus-
toned privileges; for which purpose
be adopted the following scheme;
The deceased himself as a doctor,
went to Paris and presented himself
at the door of the Chancellor du
Pratt. The Swisa attendant mlstook
him for fool, and roughly demand
ed his business; to which Rabelais
answered in pure Latin. The Swiss
not understanding him, sent for one
of the Chancellor's officers. When
he came, Rabelais spoke to him in
Greek. which being equally uncom-
prehcnsible to both, they sent for
one who understood Greek perfect
10. TO him the dLctor then spoke IN
Hebrew; and when they brought one
who spoke Hebrew, he spoke Arab
ic. In this manner he exhausted all
the knowledge of the Chancellor's
house.
The Chancellor being informed OF
the whole proceedings, ordered the
doctor TO be brought to him, when
Rabelais made an elegant remon-
STRANGE in favor OF the students OF
Montpelier, and obtained an imme-
date order for their liberation, with
q re-establishment in all the liberties
of which they had been deprived.
And to his memory the custom re-
ferred to was adopted and carried
out.

SaIeSnanShiD

ISN'T everything to good store
keeping; even a good salesman fails
when he tries to sell cautiously,
clothing that isn't made as it should
be. In the long run only the best
clothing pays; especially when the
best clothing can be had at the
price of the next best. Our cloth
ing is so well made, so attractive
in appearance and looks so desir-
able that it requires less energy
and breath and persuasion on the
part of the salesman to sell it.
After we have sold it once, we
can sell it with still less effort to
the same customer. 1t is the kind
of clothing that brings your custom
err back again and again-the kind
with which we can build up a last
ing trade. And that is what we are
doing in all our lines.

A PLEA FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
With Apologies to Rudyard K.

Take me some place west Of New York
Where the worst Is like the best,
Where there are few commandments
And no niggers half undressed.
Where a life insurance policy
Becomes claim the natural way,
And the Mauser bullet whistles
lost ten thousand miles away.
Take me where there's decent water
And white girl now and then.
Take me back to civilization,
And the haunts Of Christian men.
Teke me where the festive "Razor back"
Does not litter up the street.
And the bashful, blushing maiden
Wears some shoelets on her feet.
Take me some place where I fear not
When II lay me down to sleep"
OF being "boloed" ere reveille
And planted six feet deep.
Take me where there is no battle
And my chance for life's at par,
Where travel in Pullman
And not in an armored car.
Take me some place where they love me,
Its beyond the Golden Gates,
Land me somewhere near old Omaha
In the United States.
Take me any place you want to
And wont give -
But for Heaven's sake remove me
Ten thousand miles from where I am.

Filipines was posted October 81 and reached Tn
