ingly into a white, twitching Chinese
face, with agonized eyes and cold, blue
lips, that made supplications in a
strange language. A Chinarnan, sure
enough. The disguise had been care
fully gotten up, too, but for the for
gotten pig-tail, which dangled uncon-
cealed far below the waist-buttons of
the American coat.
Americans generally know only
the American language, and China
men hardly ever know more than
their own cultural tongue; there
was, besides, no interpreter. Other
wise (for it was an important mat
teri the customs officer, in the
goodness Of his heart, might have
allowed the passage into American ter
ritory of this trembling, imploring lit
tie John Chinaman. AS it was, he only
said, patronizingly, with shove of his
big, strong hand:
"No, no, Johnny. Heap good little
man. Uncle Sam no wantee. You go
home-no have papers. Next timee
have papers. Johnny sabe?"
Jus then the southern passenger
train whistled loudly, and through the
dark stiffness of the night the putting
of steam and clanking of heavy wheels
could be heard. The train for the south
had started, and it was too late! Truly,
Toy might as well go back home, for his
wife, her lover, and the savings of ten
years were all beyond recall now.
Next morning Toy Lung Lee was
found strangled and dead. He had
tightly twisted his own pig-tail about
his neck, and tied the end of it to
heavy nail In the low ceiling. After
that it was an easy matter to kick away
the high chair from which he had made
these preparations, and so swing out
into eternity. Not to no avail had Toy
possessed the longest queue in Juarez,
even though, as some people might
think, it had been the cause of his un-
doing.-San Francisco Areonaut.

wOMEN'S BRAINS.
They Shall Mutely Testify That They
Have Lived-An Exploded
Theory.

Women have brains and they have
proved it. They have demonstrated
that they are in commendable, appre-
ciative working order, says Harper's
Bazaar. As substance they have up
held theory
But this is not all. Once when men
were weighing brains-that is, Of
course, dead mems brains-and were
expressing congratulstory ''Ohs" and
"Ahs" with the dignity of masculine
superiority, the women dug up the
brain Of poor old washerwoman and,
10, it weighed the same as Daniel
Webster's brain! That exploded the
theory in regard to weight In It's re-
lation to quality. Calves brains are
valued by the pound.
But the end Is not yet. Women de-
mand recognition for their brain
quality, so now they bequeath their
brains to colleges that are making
collections. Cornell leads IN this
idea, and Helen II. Gardiner's and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton's brains are
promised as soon as their present
owners are through with them. In
the future stone and water will not
be the only substance upon which to
depend for the perpetuation of merits
and demerits-indeed, not while there
are shelves in Cornell on which TO
place jars Of alcohol labeled with
names and containing the evidence
that women have once thought
thoughts. 1t will be legacy Of COM
parative value, of course, but what
values are not comparative? Wom-
ems brains shall testify that they
have lived.

Newport, VT, Oct. 25.-D. w. Hill
dreth, editor Of the Express & Stan.
dard, has just returned from four
hundred mile exploration trip into the
Northeastern province Of Canada a
little south of St. James Bay. He
penetrated the territory occupied by
the Algonquin tribe of Indians whose
four trading posts are conducted the
same as a century ago. The Indian
guide employed by Mr.. Hildreth had
not been so far north in 25 years, and
he lost his bearings. Mr.. Hildreth
determined not to turn back, but sent
the guide to the nearest post to OBJ
tain bearings. In waiting 20 days for
the return of the guide the explorer
and his companion suffered greatly
from hunger, several times being near
starvation. After getting upon the
right trail again they came to the st.
Maurice river, in navigating which
they were forced in many places to
run fierce rapids with many narrow
escapes.

A Disputed Point.

Sporting Editor Register
Sfr:-ln to-day's issue OF your paper
there appears a dispatch signed by
A. c. Hall of Buchanan stating that
the report sent from Weston about the
ball game which l umpired was
false. The report sent from here on
the evening of the game was a true
version of the afternoons proceed
ings.
1t seems the Buckhannon people
have adopted code of rules in base
ball for Uushur county alone. AS
umpire of bases during the last inning,
beg to state that the score stood
five to four in favor of Weston. and
as Buckhannon quit before the game
was finished, the official score was
8 to 0 in favor of Weston. We UNI
pired the game by Spalding's rules and
not by the ones adopted by the youths
from UDshur county. r. L. HOWE.

Chief of Police w NJ. Clemans yes
terday received word from Point
Pleasant, w. Va, of the arrest by the
police authorities of that place of a
man who is believed to be guilty of the
recent robbery of the sDulene and Han
cher jewelry store on Market ssfeet.
The man, when apprehsdfedq9 gaze. a
name which is known to be fictitious.
Chief of Police Clemans, in talking of
the arrest last night. expressed the
opinion that the prisoner is a man
named Randall, who lives in Wheel
ing.
He had on his pewMrwhen arrested
a quantity of the jewelry stolen from
the Dillon & Hancher Company, but
had evidently disposed of a portion OF
it. The jewelry was described in pos
tai cards sent by Chief Clemans to
nearly every town in the State, as fol-
lows:
81 birthstone rings, different colored
stones, two trays gents rings, about Is
rings in each, one tray plain gold sig
net rings, with plain tops suitable for
engraving crest or monogram, part

20 silver ring bracelets, l razor and 1
revolver.
The arrest was made on Saturday
and the man was at once committed to
jail. The name he gave to the police
could not be ascertained. 1t is under
stood, however, that authorities from
three or four other cities want the man,
and the Point Pleasant police realize
that they have a good thing and are
disposed to turn over their prisoner to
the officers paying the largest reward
He was arrested it is stated, because
of the fact that he carried the stolen
goods described in the postal card sent
out by Chief Clemans.
