sunk three vessels, loaded with silver,
in the Kiang, and he proposed to re-
cover this money at any time to reward
them if they deserved it. This little
subterfuge never materialized, it is
quite needless to say.
Then Chang came to the conclusion
that the wives of the soldiers hampered
operations as camp followers, and his
solution of the problem was in keeping
with his other atrocities. There would
not be wanting, he told the army, plen-
ty of other exquisite women in the
kingdom when they had come to pos
sess it, and the best thing to be done
was to rid themselves of their present
membranes. To set them an exam
pie, Chang ordered out 800 of his per-
sonaI concubines and had all but 20 of
them killed before his men. Of course
the soldiery could but follow this ex-
ample, with the result that the head of
every woman in the camp was at once
sliced off.
Having killed every human being on
his line of march, Chang destroyed all
cities, their houses and palaces. These
and forests he burned that they might
profit no man." Then he marched to
meet and give battle to the Tartars. AS
he went on all sick. wounded or weak
soldiers were killed and left by the
roadside
At the first meeting of the two ar
mics Chang was killed. Those who sur
vived in Sze-Chuen heralded the invad-
ers as their saviors

PROUD OF HIS FAMILY.
Lord Roberts Is Greatly Devoted to
His Wife and Mourns His Son.

Lord Roberts Is Greatly Devoted to
His Wife and Mourns His Son.
AS a husband and father Lord Rob
erts, or "Bobs" as the soldiers and peo-
pie generally are wont to call him, is
a model in every respect If common
report is to be believed, the most pre-
feet sympathy has existed between
Lord and Lady Roberts since they
were MARI ed Al years ago, and Lady
Roberts, herself the daughter of sol
der, has always been able to associate
herself with the chief interest in life
Of her husband. Her work III India in
the cause of the soldiers wives will
long be remembered by the English,
and among her own sex she is as much
beloved as Lord Roberts is by men,
says a London paper
The death of their son at Colenso
came all the more severely to Lord and
Lady Roberts, as they were a singular
ly affectionate and united family The
greatest affection existed between the
distinguish father and his promising
son. Lord Roberts was most anxious
that his son would achieve distinction
in the same profession, and his
valuable experience and sympathy
were always at his sons service.
'Bobs'' was very proud of his sons
prowess in the saddle. At a race meet
ing. some time ago in Ireland Roberts
rode clean away from the field and
won by dozen lengths. MY son
must not be encouraged to ride; sol
der has to keep all his abilities in the
service" said Lord Roberts, and then
with burst of paternal pride, "but in
all my life I never saw anyone ride
better race.

policeman's huge frame were in i'm
minent peril. If a prisoner, arrested
on the most trivial charge, breaks
away and runs out comes the revolver
and his life is placed in jeopardy,
though he may be charged only with
Vagrancy or some such offense and
would be discharged in court the next
morning.
The Japanese police, says Mr.. Fujita,
carry no frearms-indeed, revOlvers
and similar weapons are scarce there
outside Of the army, and the consul
declares the result is that there are
almost no footpads and holdups in the
cities. He admits that there are many
pickpockets, but the hold-up man with
his gun is almost unknown.
In Toxic there are 3,475 police
officers travelling beats-one for each
$50 inhabitants. In addition there is
mounted force of 251 inspectors" cor
responding to the Chicago patrol SER
geant" and the New York rounds
man." whose duty is to keep an eye ON
the patrolmen and see they are per-
forming their duties. There are
twenty-five principal police Officers"
or stations and ten branch stations,
the former commanded by captains
and the branches by lieutenants. And
in addition to these there is a feature
which might well be copied in Chicago.
1t is this: Scattered through the city
at various prominent points are 4O5
little houses, like patrol boxes, only
enough larger to accommodate four
policemen. In each of these two
policemen are always on duty, while
two others on the same beat are patrol
ling the district Every two hours
they change off, so there are always
two policemen there on call in addition
to the men on post.
These boxes are connected with the
stations by signal boxes and telephones
exactly as our patrol boxes are, and the
officers are required to report their
movements at regular intervals. The
advantage over the Chicago system is
that there are always policemen in the
patrol-houses, should they be sought by
citizens. Here policeman on his
| beat cannot be found unless the seeker
chances to be in the very block with
him. He may be only around the cor
ner but if he is out of sight the
citizen who wants an officer in hurry
might as well be a mile away. In
Toxic the man who wants policeman
has but to look up and down the street
for a police patrol-house and he is sure
to get two policemen. They do some
things better over there.

HIS vERAcITY GOT A BEER.
There Was no Deception About the
Thirsty Old Fellow.

There Was no Deception About the
Thirsty Old Fellow.
On one of the hot afternoons last
week a tall, gaunt figure, with un-
kept hair and seedy of clothes, was
seen slowly wandering through
Thirty-fifth street, near Eightieth
avenue. The small boys Immediately
recognized in him a good subject for
ridicule and followed at his heels
growing like a lot of dogs. The
seedy gentleman took the matter good
naturally, however, and the boys
soon ceased their taunts and smiled
with him. Presently the old man
sat down on the tail end of a truck,
and, wiping the perspiration from his
forehead with the back of his hand,
began to hold forth on the heat.
''Gosh! it's hot How do hate
summer! 1t seems to me when
was a boy up on the farm we never
had such heat as this. tell you, my
friends, the poets don't know what
they are talking about when they
write of the beautiful summer Do
you call this beautiful? Look around
you. See the dirty children, the dirty
streets; smell the smells and tell me
if there is anything beautiful here. In
the city summer brings forth every
thing that is dirty, mean and vulgar.
Winter covers it up with it's mantle
of snow, and I think the man who
wrote Beautiful Snow knew what he
was talking about. Perhaps he lived
in the tenement district during the
dog days, and I feel just as if I
could write Of beautiful snow, too"
The old man again wiped the per-
spiration from his brow.
''By the way said he, looking at
every face intently, "can anybody
spare nickle. I'll tell the TRUTH
want to get a beer
''Well, come along cried a young
man who had been listening. "You
can join me- and amid the cheers of
the crowd the two strange figures,
one tall and quaint, the other short,
stout and comfortably dressed, en-
tered a nearby saloon.

A MODERN PETRUcHIo.

Nothing had ever suited Kate Rider
dale. Her childhood had been passed
in hotels, and others had enjoyed that
even less than she had. She had
finished her brief education in a con-
vent, where she tyrannized over the
nuns, and when she came out she ran
away with travelling man.
The future of poor Kate did not
look any brighter because she had ex-
changed the name of Riderdale for
that of Haughton, and, to do justice to
Kates prespicacity, it must be ad-
mitted that herself did not hope much
from it.
ct was a question of marrying or
living in second-rate hotel and TAX
ing mammals poodle out walking" she
explained beningnantly to her hus-
band.
Gam I to understand, Kate, that you
had no other reasons than these for
marrying me?" he asked.
Kate threw back her handsome head
and laughed.
well, she said, by way of con-
cession, ct will own that you have the
handsomest nose I ever saw on the
face of man. That had great influence
with me-"
"You were wise to marry good
nose," said Hates husband, ''since
your own was SO peculiar. If more
attention was paid to such matters we
should, in time, have a comely set of
human creatures on the globe"
Kate was used to saying cruel
things, but she was not in the least
used to having them said to her. She
glanced up angrily at her husband, but
he wore "a look of the most exasperat-
ing innocence and was cheerfully read
ing his paper.
"Roy," she protested, you are rude"
II beg your pardon" he responded
absent-mindedly.
II said you were execreably rude!"
There was moments pause.
Hail" calculated the gentleman, in
something of the same tone that Henry
Irving might have used. Kate felt
like a refractory boy who has been
held under pump.
One of the first things her husband
did after their marriage was to pur-
chase a pleasant little home in one of
the suburbs.
But can never live in a suburb"
Kate protested.
"The drainage is good" he replied.
Il don't think there is any danger of
typhoid, if that is what you mean"
So he went to the suburb, and Roy
Haughton made a flower garden and
set out few vegetables and planted
vines, and trimmed trees and was as
happy as possible. Kate was happy,
too, but she would not admit it.
tits all well now, that you are at
home, Roy, but what do you expect me
to do after you go out on the road?"
''You knew I was a travelling man,
Kate, before you married me. There
is no prospect of my changing my oc-
cupation, though I should like to do So
I'd like to stay with you, my girl, if
could
But the vixen tossed her head.
II know just how much to make of

within the last week that the proposed bill would
