AMERICAN SOLDIERS
DID NOT LOOT IN CHINA

Washington, Sept. 1.-Oflcials of the
war department are positive that the
soldiers Of Gen. Chaffee's army took
no part in the extensive looting which
followed the fall OF the Chinese city
of Tien Tsin. Peremptory orders were
issued to military officers TO exert ev-
cry effort TO prevent footing and to
severely punish disobedience of such
orders, and from reports which have
come 70 the department the officials are
confirmed I'm the opinion that our men
refrai2ed from disregarding the orders
OF their superiors. They think that
the Chinese themselves are responsible
for much OF the pillaging.

Vanity and Curiosity.

Vanity seems to spring eternal in the
masculine breast, and the less it has to
feed upon the more it thrives ap-
parently.
The other day a tramp Of high degree
in vagrancy stopped before the Win
dow of a house at which two young
women were standing. He was tat
tered and torn and melancholy looking
to such an extent that he aroused q
feeling of deep sympathy in the hearts
of the maidens, who looked down upon
him as he stood gazing intently at some
object he held in his hand.
ST wonder what he has," said the
sentimental one of the two as she peer
ed down on him. ga lock of some wo-
mans hair, 1 shouldn't wonder"
more likely a coin he's found; he
looks pleased" rejoined the practical
one scoffingly as she maneuvered for
a position that would reveal the object
to her.
But it was neither, they discovered.
1t was just n bit of looking glass, in
which the man was surveying his fea-
lures with a satisfied air, that told of
his entire contentment with his very
rugged physiognomy.
Which shows, as was said at the be-
ginning of this story, that vanity
springs eternal in the masculine breast
just as curiosity does in the feminine

How Expresses Drop Men.

"WhiIe coming from Chicago last
week" said a prominent business man
to 4 Mail and Express reporter, Il no.
ticed peculiar railroad custom which
interested me considerably. l hap
pened to be in the last car of the linn
tied when the train stopped in a desc
late spot between stations. The rear
brakeman, of course, dropped off and
went down the track with a flag to
warn any train that might be following
US. In q moment or two we started up
again. but minus the brakeman. L
wondered at this, but was still more
surprised later on to see the same
thing repeated when we were obliged
to stop on account of q threatened hot
box. Upon inquiry 1 found that this
was the custom on fast trains. Some
times, if we have lots of time said the
conductor, we whistle for the men to
come in, but in NOSE cases we leave
them to be picked up by the next train
or to walk to the nesrest station
'''But isn't that rather hard on the
menp l asked. oh, it's all part of the
business he replied. L have known
of cases where men dropped off in this
way were frozen to death or wayla1d
by tramps, but the railroads have to
make the time, and that's why it is
done. / have seen trains running with
ONLY n conductor aboard them at times
because the rest of the crew had been
left behind in just this way"

Embarrassing.

When the new minister, a handsome
and unmarried man, made his first pas
tOral call at the Fosdicks', he took lit
tie Anna up in his arms and tried to
kiss her. But the child refused to be
kissed. She struggled loose and ran
off into the next room, where her moth
e. was putting a few finishing touches
to her adornment before going into the
parlor to greet the clergyman.
Mamma" the little girl whispered,
the man in the parlor wanted me to
kiss him.
''Well," replied mamma, ''why didn't
you let him? 1 would if 1 were you"
Thereupon little Anna ran back into
the parlor, and the minister asked:
''Well, little lady, won't you kiss me
|now?"

The sovereign voluntary path to

The sovereign voluntary path to
cheerfulness, if our spontaneous
cheerfulness be lost, says Prof. William
James, is TO sit up cheerfully, to look
around cheerfully and to act and speak
as If cheerfulness were already there.
If such conduct doesn't make you
soon feel cheerful, nothing else on
that occasion can. So, to feel brave,
act as if we were brave, use all our
will to that end. and courage fit will
very likely replace that fit of fear.
Again, in order to feel kindly toward
a person to whom we have been inim-
ical, the only way is more or less
deliberately to smile, to make sympa-
thetic inquiries, and to force ourselves
to say genial things. One hearty
laugh together will bring enemies into
a closer communion of heart than
hours spent on both sides in inward
wrestling with the mental demon of
uncharitable feeling.
To wrestle with a bad feeling
only pins our attention on it, and
keeps it still fastened in the mind;
whereas, if we act as if from some
better feeling, the old bad feeling
soon folds it's tent, like an Arab, and
silently steals away.

A Friend In Need.

1t happened in the early days of Aus
tralian history when bushranging was
common.
4 gentleman was riding along a lone
" track through the bush when he
heard loud cries for help proceeding
from a neighboring grove. Arriving at
the spot whence proceeded the cries,
he was surprised and shocked to find q
man securely tied to a tree.
What is the matter here?" he asked.
"Oh, sir" replied the poor fellow,
I'm so glad you have come! A few
hours ago 1 was stuck up by bushran-
gers, who rified my pockets, and, after
stealing everything L had except bun
die of notes in my inside breast pocket,
which they fortunately overlooked,
bound me to this tree and decamped."
1.-The scOundrelsr' calculated the
newcomer. ''Took everything you had
except n bundle of notes in your inside
pocket, eh?'
Eyes, SIR
"The villains! And then they tied you
so tightly that you cannot escape?'
''Yes, sir"
'Then I'll take the notes the other
fellows leftr' And he did.-London

Many things are changed in times of
war and bloodshed, but some remain
fixed.
A surgeon was filing up blank for
a convalescent soldier.
What were you by profession before
the war? asked the surgeon.
I was Methodist, sir, answered the
man. 1 can tell you, sir, that it would
take more than going to another war
and losing my other arm, to change
me!
Quite right, said the surgeon. Then
he had the tact to ask his question in
another way. which elected the fact
that the soldier had been a carpenter
as well as Methodist in days of
peace.

In the course of university lecture
delivered at Boston, Miss Caroline
Hazard, president of Wellesley college,
had this to say of the influence of the
ideal woman:
'sThere are three ways in which wo-
mon are pre- eminent. They are the
binders together of society, they are
the beautifiers of life, and they are the
observers of morals. Thus, women
must stand for conservatism, for
grace, for purity, and in these three
directions they must have special
training. Wise conservatism must
be founded on law, and law must teach
obedience, which lies at the root Of all
growth. Those VINO are to interpret
beauty must have knowledge of what
is beautiful, and the training of the
perceptive faculties has to be under
taken in very thorough and serious
way. No one can reproduce what he
is not absolute master of, and beauty
to WELD any influence on life and
character must be deeply absorbed
anu OA'OI ihoO ZIG PERSONALITY OF It's
exponent. Beauty must pass into
duty. This is the supreme task of all
education, the training of the SOUL
How shall duty govern conduct?
What fruit of personality shall be the
product of training? 1t is women who
must answer many of these questions,
for women are the guardians of morals.
Women ought to be the spiritual lead
ers of the world.''
