One of the oldest women's clubs in

compelled to close it's doors, owing to
the decline in the support given the
club. The Somerville was started in
Regent street about twenty years ago,

they are now. The club was founded
in order to provide resting place for
those tired by the eXertion Of shop

Here the imperial ruler receives his
troops when they return in triumph,
and here he confers gifts upon vassal
potentates and viceroys. Passing
through this gate one finds himself
in large court, where small stream
is spanned by five marble bridges.
These bridges cross over into Sec

and flanked by pillared corridors and
porticos. At the head Of this court is
a superb marble structure, known as
the Gate Of Extensive Peace, ITO feet

"A Graphic Description Of Pekin's Streets
and Buildings.

The city OF Pekin is by no means
he least remarkable Of the sights o.
China. r is in every respect con.
trast to the other capitals of the
world. Pekin comprises in reality
three distinct townships. The first
known as the Chinese city, lies to the
south, while adjoining it is the larger
Tartar city, which encloses the small
Dr Imperial, or Purple Forbidden
City," containing the palaces and
Royal demesne. Though only ele-
sated to the position of Celestial capt.
tai in 1921, Pekin possesses history
which dates from over thousand
years back, and its antiquity is evil
lent from its faded grandeur and de-
creased population. -....
1t is impossible in the space allotted
here to enter into all the details of
The history of Pekin, and so imp,r-
!ect are it's records that such an ac-
sount would be impossible, with any
aegree of exactness. When and by
whom the city was founded is mys-
sery. Pekin is very ancient city.
Centuries before the Christian era it
was the capital of the kingdom OF Yen,
but when this kingdom was over
thrown by the Tsin dynasty in 222
3. c., the seat of government was re-
moved elsewhere. About 938 A. D. it
tgain became the capital of the Kitan
lynasty. In 1915 it was captured by
T., L.. H.
residence of Kublai Khan. The native
emperors, however, who succeeded the
Nongol dynasty, removed the court to
Nankin, but the third emperor OF the
Ming dynasty in 1927 once more made
Pekin the imperial residence. The
city was repeatedly pillaged; its popu-
lation slaughtered, its defenses RACED, |
and its sacred temples dedled. OF all |
the cities of China none appear to have
been the scene of so many successes
and misfortunes.
The Tartar city is planned on a |
more imposing scale than the Chinese, !
but its many fine buildings and gorge
GUS temples have mostly fallen into |
a state of ruin. Among the most |
noteworthy buildings in this enclcs-
ure is the Tsungli Yamen, Or foreign
office. established after the ratification
of the treaty of Tien-Tsin in 1S6l-a
one-storied building resembling tenn
pie rather than government Office in
appearance. In the southeast corner
of the Tartar city are the foreign lega-
tons, clustered together, each sur
rounded by its wall where reside the /
ministers accredited to the court OF
Pekin by the powers.
]. The Imperial city, lying in the CEN
ter Of that above described is regard
ed by the Chinese as sacred ground on
which none but the elect may tread.
This holy of holes is of considerable
extent. 1t is strongly enclosed, the
walls having a circumference of six
miles, and contains series of palaces
and imperial temples and buildings,

Kansas City Policeman Too Big-Hearted
to Kill Him.
| A boy about ten years old went to
| the central police station in Kansas
| Ciyt, Kan, one day last week, leading
a fine shepherd dog by short piece Of
rope tied to his collar. The boys face
was red and swollen and he was cry
ing. "Well, we'll, we'll, what's the mat
ter here?" asked big policeman,
STOPPING down and looking into the
boys face. 1t seemed like a long time
before he could stop crying. please,
SIR he sobbed, my mother is too
poor to pay for license for Shep, and
I brought him here to have you kill
him." Then he broke out with an
other vail that was heard all through
the city building. Shep stood there
mute and motionless, looking up into
the face of his young master. A po-
lceman took out his handkerchief to
blow his nose and the desk sergeant
went out into the hall, absent-minded-
ly whistling a tune which nobody ever
heard before, while the captain re-
membered that he mus: telephone
somebody. Then Chief Mcfarland led
the boy to the door, and, patting him
on the head, said kindly: There, lit
tie fellow, don't cry any more; run
home with your dog. I wouldn't kill
a dog like Shep for q thousand dol
lars" ooh, thank you, sir They
were tears of joy now. He bounded
out into the street and ran off towards
his home with Shep prancing along
and jumping up and trying to kiss the
boys face. 1t was hard to tell which
was the happiest, the boy, or the dog.

Expert Shooting by a Cowboy Changes
Charge.
Jack" Vance, cowboy from the
ranch of the Butte Creek Cattle COM
pany, was On trial at Alliance, Neb.,
on charge of shooting at brakeman
on the Burlington railway with intent
to kill him. He had received his pay
q few days before and was engaged at
the time of shooting In the picturesque
pastime of painting the country red.
Vance vehemently denied any intent
to perforate the brakeman. He told
the court that. while it was true that
he did take out his revolver and shoot
after the brakeman had pushed him of
the train, he was merely giving pre-
arranged signal. He and friend had
been down the road few miles and
wanted to ride back to the nearest sta
tion to the ranch. Realizing that IL
they were found by any o. the train
crew they would be put off, they had
arranged that if anyone was put off
the train he should notify his partner
by firing his revolver at once. The
trainmau. with visions Of what he
..oly believed was a narrow escape
from death, shook his head, and the
Judge looked unbelie"!ng. Vance's
