Chinese Dressmakers.

The sewing, as well as dressmaking,
is all done by men tailors in China.
There are many amusing stories told
of them as copyists of the American s
way of making up garments. A friend
has need of a dozen undergarments.
AS she came over on shipboard but
ton was lost, and an exceedingly
clumsy and ugly one replaced the lost
one, which was of pearl. On reaching
Shanghai she desired a tailor to copy
from this garment, which was placed
in his hands as a model. He brought
back the garments, exquisite creations
in lace and tucked muslin, and each
of the dozen adorned with button
exactly like the one on the sample
garment. Upon having his attention
called to the ugly button, his reply
was, "Likee Missy" and he was great
.ly disappointed that his efforts to
please were not appreciated. He had
spent many hours in search for "likee"
buttons, and no doubt was greatly dis
gusted with the unreasonableness of
the foreign lady.-Alice Hamilton

Plans for It's Rapid Building in n
Few MonthsSurvey of Site Com
pleted March 10.
Two months ago the only building at
the junction Of Clear and Granite
creeks was log cabin 1Ox12 feet,
owned by Ed Benson, and built in the
days when the creeks swarmed with
placer miners Now the site is occu-
pied by the rapidly growing town OF
I4awton. The survey of the town site
was completed March 10. Three feet
of snow covered the ground while the
survey was in progress. J. Mccarthy
completed the first building, Feb. 25,
nearly two weeks before the town was
laid out. Lawton now has fifteen bust
ness buildings under way OF nearing
completion. Besides these. there are
several tents that are used for business
and for dwellings,.
Home building has been retarded be
cause Of the scarcity of lumber, the
saw mills giving preference to the or
ders of those who are getting ready for
business. Rough lumber is held at
S14 per 1000 feet. and No. 1 flooring.
kiln-dried. at $50. Between $4,000
and $50, 900 has been invested in build
ing in two months. If present plans
are carried out many more buildings
will be erected during the spring and
summer. Thirty-seven lots have been
sold on Spokane avenue, the purchaser
in each case agreeing to build within
three months. Performance Of this
clause of the contract depends upon
whether the growth of the town will
Justify further building.
Much work will be done tlis summer
to beautify the town. Spokane avenue
will be graveled it's entire length
Clear creek will be moved 400 feet, to
It's original channel, from which it was
diverted years ago by the placer min
ers. About 1900 feet west of town
and 300 feet above it, in the hills, is a
lax (which is available for water sup
ply. Electric lights and municipal or
ganization will probably come in the
fall. Lawton will draw its trade from
the mining properties, which are at its
doors.-Portland Oregonian.

CENTRAL AFRICAN CHIEF.

Takes All the Lion Skins and Has q
Hundred Dusky Wives.
Mpeseni's hut is built in the usual
circular shape, only much larger than
the other ones around it, says the
British Central African Gazette.
When entering the outer inclosure the
people shout out "Byeti" (the royal
salutel, and when crawling into the
hut, the entrance to which. is only
some two and half feet high, the
same salutation is repeated. When I
entered the hut first L could not dis
tinguish anything until my eyes got
used to the darkness. Then I discov-
cred that there were some fifteen peo-
pie sitting on the ground, while in the
center, on little heap of cloth, was
seated an old man clad in dirty fan
mel shirt, and with some cheap print
around his loins. This was the great
Mpeseni! Mpeseni speaks, or, at any
rate; understands, Chikunda and
Chinyanja very well, and could con-
verse with him without an interpreter.
The day of my arrival lion had been
killed by his men, and the skin had
been brought to him, as the law pre-
scribes. In his hut I noticed at least
a dozen lion skins, and was told that
nobody in the country except himself
is allowed to keep one. At night they
are spread out and form his bed.
Though Mpeseni is between 60 and 20
years of age he is still hale and hearty.
On the second day he made me a pres
ent in the shape of COW, and then
sent him some cloth. In my tent I
was always molested by his people,
who came in to beg, but they were not
very successful. Mpeseni has been
spoiled by lavish giving of presents.
A white man in Mpeseni's country is
little respected. They will enter your
tent, sit down, get hold of anything
they fancy and say, make me pres
ent of it, my FRIEND" and not until I
had treated one of my insolent
friends" somewhat cavalierly and
sent him flying out of my tent in spite

one were to attempt to satisfy all the
wants of Mpeseni's wives one would
soon become bankrupt, as he has 100
or more, and they all come to beg. The
"king" Gas I have heard him called)
is the worst of the lot as regards beg
ging. During my stay at least twice
every day he sent and asked me to
make him a present of one of my guns.
and as other people have given him
gun and revolver he was rather dis
appointed to find me so obstinate.

From the Mares Mouth.

Sir Robert Finlay, the new attorney
general, like most counsel with large
practice, knows what it is to receive Il
disconcerting reply from an apparently
guileless witness, and tells good sto-
ry against himself in illustration. He
was engaged in case Of breach Of
warranty Of a horse, the age Of the
animal being the chief matter in con-
troversy, and he had to cross-examine
a hostler, yokel, with every appear
ance of rustic simplicity.
"Upon what authority do you swear
to the age of the mare?" he asked.
"I'm sure of it, was the reply.
Half a dozen more questions failed
to elicit any more specific answer
"But how do you know?' thundered
Sir Robert, at last.

1t was about two weeks after the
events narrated in our last chapter
that young officer, dressed in a hand
some uniform, rode up the avenue
reading to Greylawns, and, dismount-
ing at the door, was warmly welcomed
by Miss Marian.
'This is indeed, an unexpected pleas
ure," she said, leading him into the
parlor. 81 thought you were exiled
for six months, at least, Lieutenant.

II received the most singular note
from Fannie" F'enton Forest replied.
in an amazed tone, "and I came on at
once to ask for an explanation. Is
anything wrong at Give Towers?''
"Dear me, wrong" repeated Miss
Marian, meaningly. "Have you not
heard? But I forget-you have been
away so long, and everything has been
kept as quiet as possible. You know
Mr.. Robert Give is dead?"
II heard that" answered Fenton,
quickly; ''but he left Fannie-that is.

though It was all laid to some wild

are whispers about that Herbert Give

the woman's possession that it would
not do to let loose. And DR.. Bond is
at the Towers now, though he will
give no explanation of his presence
there. And Herbert and Fannie went
off this morning, goodness knows
where, and they say there is another
heir coming from Europe, and that

late that same evening DR.. Bond sat
alone in his cosy study. He was
clancing at letter he had received
that day-a letter written in a dainty
feminine hand, and bearing the post
mark of a far-off Swiss town.
"Poor little girl!' murmured the doc
tor to himself. "She never forgets

his big black eyes open to their fullest
capacity. "She's got some dreaful sort
of fit on her, an she's a-callin for you.
"Car I come in?" said sepulchral
voice at the door, and the tall form Of
Rizpah, looking like some ghastiy, ash
en- corpse, appeared on the Threshold.
"Let me come in and-and die-die in

waved a paper package above her head
