The Boys Got In.

The late Dan Rice, the famous circus
man, was fond Of boys and always
wanted to see lot of them in his audi
ence. He never gave a performance.
says the Cleveland Leader, when the
hooks and corners were not filled with
youngsters who had come in free.
One story of this sort was told by
Captain George j. Grammer. AT the
time of the occurrence Grammer, who
lived in GAINESVILLE, o., was standing
one afternoon with crowd of other
boys looking longingly into the tent,
but not having the price of admission.
1t was Mr.. Rice's custom to stand at
the door until the first grand entry OF
the circus people, when he would
leave. On this occasion he saw the
hungry look on the faces Of the boys
and called them around him. ''You
want to go in, don't you, boys?"
"Bet your life!" shouted back the
youngsters.
"I'll tell you what. All the boys who
are back here in ten minutes with clean
faces and hands get in.''
| The words were hardly out of his
mouth before there was a dash fol
the Muskingum river, and in less thar
seven minutes 200 clean faces an6
hands came back to the tent. The
boys went inside with rush.

Among the numerous curiosities is q

A Chinese Solomon.

Three men appeared before a judge
In Honan, China, and each laid claim
to the same woman as his wife. Not
one of them would retire in favor OF
the other two, but each insisted that
the judge exclaimed, well, if you
three men cannot come to some agree
ment nothing remains for me but to
order that the woman shall bE billed,
as there is no other way in which the
matter can be satisfactorily settled"
He then called for large cup of wine,
and when it was brought he poured in
to it some dark powder and compelled
the woman to drink it. Excited as she
was, the woman speedily began to feel
the effect of the strong liquor. She
stammered when she tried to speak,
and her flushed cheeks We're an indica-
ton to the observers that the poison
was working and that her end was
near at hand.
This was the climax for which the
judge had waited. When he saw that
the woman, was apparently dying, he
called one of the three men who claim
ed her as wife and bade him remove
her from the courtroom. This man,
however, showed no inclination to do
so. and the judge thereupon insisted
that he renounce all rights to her. This
he willingly did and SO did the second
! man. Only one claimant was now left,
and he agreed to remove the woman
and to care for her until she died. Sat
isfied that he was her real husband,
the judge called him and said: "You
will not be sorry for acting in this
manner. Have no fear for your wife,
since she is in no danger of death. The
liquor which she has drunk was ordi-
nary wine, and the powder which
! poured into it was nothing but brown
sugar."

The Dentist Is Polite.

A North Side dentist is sure to be call
ed "a mean man" by some of his wo-
men patrons when they learn of the
trick he has practiced upon them. 1t
happens sometimes that even rubber
dam will not stop the flow of woman's
speech, and although the dentist, being
young man, is not averse to little
pleasant talk" now and then with
patient, yet if she persists in telling
him her personal or domestic history
during the filling of tooth, hindering
the work, while other patients wait in
the anteroom, it's a little trying to his
nerves and temper. The doctor is a po-
lite man; he does not ask the woman
to stop talking, but says gently:
open your mouth, please"
There is silence for a few moments,
when the chatter begins again.
"Open wider, please" says the den
list, more persuasively than before,
and the work goes on rapidly enough
until the patient seeing her opportuni-
ty starts in again where she had left
off in the tale of everyday woes. The
clock strikes the hour of the next APP
poiptment. The dentist seizes the most
terrible of all his instruments, his look
becomes threatening and his voice too:
Please, now, open your mouth very
wide" The ruse succeeds, and the
startled but unsuspecting woman
stretches her mouth into an abysmal
yawn that precludes the possibility of
even whisper.
It's mean trick.-Chicago Tribune.

First European to suppress rebellion in China.l
n corps of the imperial troops. He
proved to be general of infinite en-
ergy and resource and captured cities
and recovered whole territories for the
throne. At one time, lacking supplies
for a long expedition, he turned his ar
my into farmers, planted GASES in the
desert with crops and when they ripen-
ed went forward and put an end to the
rebellion. In battle on the Yalu river
in 1894 this able general fell at the
head of his troops.
In 1888 the French encountered
some stubborn Chinese fighters in the
Tonquin. These soldiers were chiefly
refugees from China proper who had
taken part in the TAPPING rebellion
They were skillful in ambush and were
well armed with modern rifles In the
naval battle of Fuchau the Chinese
wooden vessels were outclassed by the
French cruisers and torpedo boats, but
the Celestials gave fight and held out
until 1000 had been killed and 5000
wounded. Although nominally victo-
rious, the French won no glory in the
Tonquin, and their troops were de-
moralized by the unusual methods of
fighting This war, like that with ia
pan, was unpopular with the wealthy
Chinese, for they had no heart in the
quarrel and We're the chief sufferers.
In China it is the wealthy who pay
the extra expenses of the government
incurred by war.
Although Japan came out of the
war with China lauded as nation of
heroes and filled with military pride,
she really won no great glory in ac-
, tual fighting. The Chinese were poor
! ly equipped and often badly handled.
(, But whenever they had chance they
| fought as well as their enemies. In
| the naval battle of the Yalu the Chi
nese sailors on the fighting ships stood
to the guns CALAMITY and scored al
most twice as many hits as the Jap
anese gunners.

and fight and inspire others to fight.
In six months march he captured
26 cities and arrived within 100 miles
of Picking. AT Tien-tsin the column
was checked by imperial forces, and it
was necessary to retreat to Nankin
to save the rebel army. This difficult
feat was accomplished in spite of the
imperial forces thrown across tie path
way.
1t was during Chang Wang':s north
ward march that Ii Hung Chang be-
came soldier. Being faithful to the
imperial regime, he felt it his duty to
fight the rebels and raised regiment.
In the early years of the TAPPING
rebellion the English were at war with
China, and the emperor had two foes
on his hands. After peace with the
Britons he turned his attention to the
rebels and sent an army to invest Nan
i kin. Chang Wang was shut up with
his army, but the indomitable soldier
made his way.out through the imperial
lines. Collecting a new army he cap
tured city after city, cutting off the
imperial forces from their supplies.
Finally he turned about and assaulted
and scattered the imperial hesiegers
| of Nankin. killing 5000 Of the best
soldiers. Another army sent against

| of 10000 imperial troops.
| At this stage the foreigners turned

Shanghai Ii Hung Chang selected two
| energetic Americans to organize a
force for the defense of the city. This
was the origin of the lever victorious
army" led at first by the American
General Ward. General Ward was kill
ed in battle, and his troops, 5000
strong, fell to "Chinese" Gordon of
the British army. Gordon and Ii Hung
Chang together suppressed the rebel

Wang was taken, and during a week S

| among military men for ending the
TAPPING rebellion. although Ii Hung
| Chang got all the honor at Picking.
Gordon made eonquests. captured cit
les and scattered rebel hordes. After
ward he pacified the rebellious dis
tricts.
Gordon found that the Chinese did
not fear death and would stand up
bravely, although more liable to sud
den panic than white troops. He said
that the natives hated foreigners like
poison and that some day they would
rise up and overwhelm them. The
day would pass when foreigners could
march up to a position and wipe away
Chinese soldiers like flies. and there
would be no more promenades of q
few hundred British or French troops
through the country driving the Chi
nese before them like sheep. When
they saw that the only. means of meet
ing the aggressions of the outsiders
was military organization, they woul6
