statesman has been bUsily raising and
eQuipping a large force OF soldiers,
whom he will pay and perhaps direct
himself, and no one knows whether
his intention is good or evil.
Probably this is the first time in his
tory that statesman of nearly four
score has set himself the arGuous task
of recruiting an army for personal use
Ii Hung Chang, however, is an old
hand at this particular species of eff
fort. 1t is understood he keeps among
his private papers a voluminous list
OF fighting men who are attached by
interest and affection to his person.
and when he starts to raise his army

force.
One thing may be taken for granted
Ii Hung Chang's private army will be
composed of brave men, admirably
equipped and we'll led.

the only argument that really reaches
a practical joker is a stout club. Yet

to show that milder measures answer

music in the cafe, made by a man and
his wife. She played on stringed in
strument, and after several selections,
carried around a little filigree silver
basket. in which she collected coins
from the guests. One night, as the
music began, man seated at one OF
the tables held up a gold coin. The
woman smiled, and the man dropped
it on the marble slab that covered the
steam pipes. When she made her COL
lection she went first for the gold
coin, but as she picked it up she gave
a cry, and dropped it again, for it
had become heated on the slab. The
next evening, when the musicians ap-
peared, the woman'S hand was BAN
daged, and she had some difficulty in
managing her instrument. When she
made her collection she avoided the
man who had played the practical joke
on her; and night after night she
did the same thing. In vain he Of

In connection with the Constitution.
al Convention several Of our oontem-
aries are discussing the question Of ap-
portionment. Without committing our
selves to any definite proposition. we
say in general terms that in our opinion
il would be a mistake to have a large,
unyieldy body Of men to revise the
Constitution. There ought, to be sure,
to be q sufficient number Of men to rep
resent every section and every interest
of the State. But this can be done with
out having a very large convention. A
Constitutional Convention should of all
assemblies, be q deliberative body. but
it is hard to contruct such q body out
of large numbers
When the convention Of 1929 was held
Virginia was nearly twice as large In
territory as now. But there were only
ninety.six members Of that body. Each
of the twenty -four Senatorial districts
into which the State was divided was
entitled TO four delegates, and. as there
was no restriction in the right Of selec-
tion, either as to the Office which was
held, or as to the place where the dele
gate resided, In some cases the people
of one district were induced to look
into others for such men asthey thought
best fitted to represent them. 1.-The
consequence Of this. :" say Ricthie and
Cook, who compiled the proceedings,
