THE ETHICS OF GAMBLING.

Georgetown, ''is heavens best gift to man,
but whether 1t means a married woman or
not. l am not so certain. Now, there's my

to change her for any woman 1 ever met

twenty years and in all that time we've
never had a cross word that we didn't get

a woman. I'd rather yield dozen times a
day than to eat the kind of a meal my wife
can have brought on the table when She 8

concessions as the next man, but 1 really
think there Is a limit that any reasonable
woman ought to observe. Not that my
wife is not as reasonable as any other mar
ried woman, mind you, for she Is. But
there times when she makes me doubt
the strict accuracy of the time-honored
maxim l have quoted. Now, for instance.
the other day I was doing something or
other around the house, like man has a
right to do on his own premises, and, just
as men sometimes do, 1 put my finger

and says she
William says she. don't you know
enough about the ethics of gambling to
know that you have no right to bet on

That's what she said, and under the
circumstances. what on earth could 1 say

INFLUENCE OF BOSTON.

how far-reaching is Boston and some Of
its best traditions. Naturally enough, in
the eastern sections of the country this
would not be extraordinary: but that 1t

remark. AS an instance / may cite one of
my own experiences. Several years ago l

experience in that line in Tennessee. where

had some beans to sell. and as l was in
try l would Ike to see him if possible. She
said she would call him, and asked me to
take seat on the piazza. He was evidently
pretty hard to wake. for L heard her call
him once or twice before he gave any sign.
Then she became more urgent.
John, john she called, there's a gen.

Minister Wu's Bride,
From the Saturday Evening Post

fIom tne Sdthfday ESeHihg Posf.
How the Chinese minister at Washington,
Wu Ting-fang, secured. when a young man
and about TO be married. the unusual privi-
lege of seeing. before the wedding day. the
girl who was to be his wife was told by
him to several friends a few days ago.
In China our young men do not select
wives for themselves, but leave it to their
parents he said.
We know that our parents want US to be
happy and we are willing to let them
judge who will make a good wife. The
young man Is never permitted to see before
the ceremony, the one whom he Is to marry.
I'VE have few unhappy marriages In
China, and perhaps that is because we do
not spend all the affection before marriage,
as Ii seems to me the young people In
America sometimes do.
Il was very anxious to see the girl my
parents had chosen for me, but they told
me it would be impossible to have an In
terview or even a formal meeting, and that
l could not even see her. But after l had
begged very hard they finally consented to
let me have one look at her, and the per-
mission overjoyed me.
$50. one day, l sat by a window behind
blind which entirely hid me. After wait
ing long time, three young women came
down the street, and L was told that one of
them was to be my future wife.
But which one? Which one is she?' /
demanded eagerly. and when 1 was told
lhal IL was tle one On tHe OUTSIDE L looked
at her harder and with greater delight than
L ever looked at anything else before or
since"
The minister was silent for few mo-
ments, and his mind was evidently busy
with the pleasant past Then he said with
a half chuckle:
What l was curious to know. but
couldn't find out, was whether the future
Mrs. WI knew l was looking at her. Oh it
was entirely contrary to Chinese etiquette
entirely-but 1 shall never forget how hap
py felt as my bride-to-be came so prettily

A SUBJECT OF RIDIcULE

In relightfng the stub of cigar the other
| evening Van Silkerson burnt one side of his
| flowing mustache so seriously that he was
| compelled to stop on his way to the office
on the following morning and have the
hirsute ornament shaved of. Van Silkerson
had been wearing the mustache ever since
| his arrival in Washington. fifteen and odd
| years ago, that his friends and acquaint-
ances were not aware that he had reced-
| ing upper lip and a protruding jaw that
| made 1t out Of the question for his upper
| and lower teeth to come within more
| than half inch of meeting. His
office mates looked upon him freez-
| ingly, as upon an intrusive stranger,
when he sat down at his desk. When they
| finally recognized him they gathered in a
| circle around his desk and said things to
| him like these:
Hey. Van, when's the fight coming off,
anyhow

| Gibson man.

say what you paying your election bets
| for before the election. Van?'
Say, SilkersOn, maybe if you buy the
felloW new bike or something he'll call
the bet Off"
Don't you mind 'em, Van; there've been

What's good for an ingrowing mug, any

Why don't you paste some hemp on that

ITS a good thing you've got your thirty

Say. how dye expect to get on the po-

"Why didn't you give her a lock Of your
| hair instead!"
| Don't you let these people bother you,
Van-they're jealous because they haven t
| got regular features!
What do you care? You've got your
health!'
Amt you afraid to go around that way
without a license?'
| Didn't tell you you'd pull it off some
day?"
What caused this cave-in, anyhow
Hey. Van, why didn't you get your hair
| clipped. too? What's the use of piking?'
$50 long as he doesn't take to drink over
| 1t. all right!'
did you hit him back?"
How Van Silkerson ever contrived to get
| through the day without carnage Is still a
a sigh Of relief and thought of his home
| yearnfully. There, at least he could find
peace. away from the burly jests and the
| raucous voices Of his office mates. He
| slipped his latchkey into the front door with
| feeling Of rest and security in his bosom.
| His little four-year-old girl met him In the
hall. She gazed at him in a frightened way
| for a minute, then, recognizing him. she
| surveyed him critically. Then she laughed
| real merriy.
"Oh, mamma" she exclaimed. bursting
| into the dining room to her mother, papa
| has lost his mOuth-bangs.'
| Van Silkerson left on his thirty days
| leave the next morning.

A LIVING MONUMENT.
What q Rich New Yorker Did for An

tn-law would have liked to have him be.
lust as that father-in-law's father thought
and said sometimes Of his son; and he may
have had peculiarities noticeable by other
people less intimately associated with him.
but he was a man who always meant well
and very many times did well. One in
stance came under my notice only last
week. My son, who Is In New York Of
flee, introduced to me young fellow In
the same office with him. He was very
bright fellow, and incidentally l learned
that his given name was Elliott Shepard.
Later asked him how he happened to be
50 named and he told me that Cox Shepard
had done great deal for his father and
he had named him for him in remembrance.
Later some one else told me the story OF
the colonePs kindness to the boys father.
He was German barber but OF such SUI
perior intelligence that the colonel became
interested in him as he saw him from time
to time when he was being shaved. and at
last suggested that he had better thing
for him than barbering. This was a posi-
tion as sexton Of a fashionable church, and
the German took 1t at once Col. Shepard
was no less his friend here than in the
barber shop, and whenever he could do
him a good turn he did it. With the usual
thrift of the German race, the sexton saved
his money. and in time he added an un-
dertaking establishment to his other duties.
He had q first-ciass acquaintance. through
his connection with the church, and be-
fore a great while his undertaking business
claimed all his attention. In the mean
time his family grew up around him, and
he had a handsome home and other posses-
sions but there was nothing he priced more
highly than the colonels friendship. When
Colonel Shepard died his German friend was
on the high road to success and today he
is worth 700 and Is getting richer every
day. 1t isn't every rich man who does
as well by those less fortunate and surely q
man can have no better monument than

Character Told by Lips.
From the Chicago Record.

Whether or not we believe in phrenol-

there are some peculiarities Of feature that
are quite often indicative Of certain traits
of character" said an observant man.
From no one feature Of the face can the
disposition be more accurately read than
from the lips. and especially the upper lip
The lower one Is less prophetic. A person
with short, sharply-curved upper lip Is
nearly always of a happy. lovable disposi-
tion One with q short but straight upper
lip is apt to be of a low order Of intellect
and coarse in his tastes. The person with
a long, straight upper lip is the one to be-
ware Of He has a will like adamant, Is
not always thoroughly trustworthy. Is apt
to be quarrelsome and jealous, and is
more often than not, an unmitigated poll
tician. II he is gifted with strong intel
lect he win make his mark in one way or
another: If he is not. he may become a
harmless person. q parasite. or a scoundrel
The man whose upper lip protrudes is apt
to be q shrewd business man. The person
whose mouth has decided droop at the
corners may be humOrist, hypochon-
driac. or a poet. The possessor of a mouth
curved in the style OF Cupid's bow is in
deed happy, for in nine cases out Of ten he
also possesses a refined. aesthetic and yet

A Noble Work.
from the Church Economist

Trinity Episcopal Church Of Chicago is
doing a somewhat unusual work in con-
Quoting diet kitchen. the object Of which
is to supply milk and other infant foods,
pure water and ice for all babies whose
parents apply for them. The kitchen was
opened in June last as an experiment. un-
der the direction of DR.. George T. Palmer,
who Is one Of the parishioners of Trinity
Church, and is a specialist on the diseases
of childhood in the Chicago Clinical School.
The experiment was great success. All
creeds and denominations in Chicago have
united in helping the work along. When
they were needed. nurses were supplied by
the different hospitals of the city, and the
words of commendation of the work have
been so many that the diet kitchen of
Trinity Church Is to be a fixture in Chica-
go. 1t Is almost needless to add that appli-
cants for milk and food for the infants are
never asked as to their religious affiliatio

The Chinese situation in general presents
practically the same view to London as 1t
does to Washington. What little attention
the elections leaves for China is devoted to
watching the policy Of the United States.
I must say however, that there Is less ap-
proval Of the present American course than
there was a month ago. The British ma
ton has come to believe firmly that the
presidential election Is responsible for what
1t terms the apathy Of MT. Mckinley.
and there Is a curious desire to see how he
will delay any definite undertaking in
China until after the 9th of November.

fiict arbitrary punishment on the Boxer
leaders, now that she has practically the
unanimous support of Europe. Is also re-
garded with some little curiosity. In fact,
