A BRAVE LEADER.

General Mich Is at present located at
Lu Tai which "a less than one hundred
miles from Tien Tsin. He is the most
popular of the Generals and has the
greatest degree of control over the
troops.
Had he been allowed to 20 ON with
his treatment of the Boxers few
weeks ago II would have saved the Chi
nese government a large amount of
anxiety as well AS great deal OF
trouble and expense, General Mich has
always manifested kind disposition
toward foreigners. and so far as ! have
eyer heard. there has never been any
trouble between his soldiers and the
foreign residents in Tong ku or Tang
Shang, or, indeed in any other part of
the country east Of Tien Tsin and
Picking.
A popular man is General Yuan
Shih-kai. He, too. Is big and corpulent.
standing higher and measuring broader
than any man in his regiment. The
General Is fond of foreigners and one
cannot think that he relishes the idea
of exterminatng the white races from
the face of the earth, as the Chinese In
his command feel positive he will do.
He was In the Japanese war and,
though he did not gain any particular
| glory, he escaped alive which has al
ways been considered considerable
| feat.

A certain artist declares that
newly betrothed lover commissioned
him to paint a secluded nook in the5
rocks on the shore, because there he
had declared his passion. The picture
was painted, but before 1t was done
the lover said to the artist:
OF course, | shall pay for that pic
ture as agreed, but my engagement is
off, and, of course. it would be pain
fully suggestive to me. If you can sell
it to somebody else 1 will take another
picture, and be extremely obliged be-

HOW THE PEOPLE PAY.


While the trusts have here and there
increased the wages of their employees,
which had previously been reduced
from the 1892 scales, they have in every
instance not cnly added several times
as much to their own profits and made
the people foot the bill, but they have
failed also to restore wages to the old
standard before what has been called
hard times reductions. The Emporia
Times has taken the trouble to obtain
from the merchants of that city the
increase in price of articles of neces
sity as compared with the selling piice
one year ago. Here are the figures it
gives:
Stoves have increased sc per cent
Wagons have increased from four to
five dollars. ~
Copper has doubled in price.
Fourteen-inch plows that sold for
$40 now sell for $14.
Ropes that sold for cents pound
now sell for IL cents.
A common stove pipe sold for IL

Bolts and rods have gone up Is per

Tin has increased from $1.50 to 50 a
box.
Cultivators have increased from So

Hoes, forks, rakes, shovels, spades,
and all such articles have gone up to
the consumer As per cent.
Nails, per key, from 1920 to s4.1O.
Barbed wire, galvanized, from $2.40
hundred pounds to $3.50.
Binder Irvine, which cost cents a
pound, now costs from IL cents to 1917
cents.
Glass has increased 40 per cent.
Other articles of general use snow a
like increase in cost to the consumer.
In every instance the trust has added
enormous profits, every cent of which
must come out of the people who have
