THE EMPORIA LYNCHING.
A Card From Governor Tyler EXoner-
ating His Course.

Richmond. Va. March Ex-Governor
Tyler makes a statement tonight re-
garding his action in withdrawing the
troops from Emporia, where the double
lynching occurred Saturday morning.
After declaring hat the criticisms
that have been leveled against him are
unjust, giving some of the kilograms
sent to him by Major C%utchins, in
charge of the military. and citing the
law. he says among other things:
Major Cutchins had his opinion that
trouble you'd follow. l had my fears
and suspicious. u the civil authorities
offered with us, and they were the
parties responsible n their people
the ones directly affected. I sent a
telegram to Major Cutchins, which ii
was intended that he should how TO
the sheriff. and in it 1 warned the
sheriff that the sole responsibility was
on MIN. When ! did this l felt sure
he would realize his responsibility, and
if he felt there was risk in sending the
troops away that he would counter
mand his order, and that then during
the day ] could send more troops.
How could L LAY foreseen that it
was all a ruse to get the soldiers away.
They must have deceived the judge,
who. il seemed to me, was faithfully
trying to do his duty. No, if under the
circumstances 1 had declared martial
law. and other good lives had been sac
rificed, 1 would have been very much
more criticised, and justly, than for
the course 1 pursued. 1 lac no intima-
ton that the sheriff was intoxicated or
that he was other han a competent
officer. Law and order of course, must
be preserved, but it must be done III an
orderly, lawful
The governor contends that he acted
entirely within the law, and, in conclu-
sion. bestows the highest praise upon
Major Cutchins and the men under
him.

his keen appreciation of others fail
ings and shortcomings or his own.
"Why in the world doesn't Brown
write his autobiography and have it
published?" said one of the bishops
friends, referring to an incessant talker
and most egotistical man who had been
wasting an hour of the bishops most
precious time by a rehearsal Of some
unimportant happenings.
'Why, he'd rather tell it, of course"
said the bishop, and then like a flash
came regret for the quickly spoken
truth, and he turned on his friend with
a half humorous, half distressed face.

MASTERING CHINESE.


One of the Most Difficult of Lam
EuaEes to Learn.
1t is well known that the Chinese
language is one of the most difficult to
master, and for us to attempt this task
after we have finished our school years
is excessively trying and difficult Ger
tainly the mistakes one hears of as be-
ing made by those who begin to talk
and, worse still, preach in a language
they fondly imagine they have mas
tered are ludicrous in the extreme.
1 heard of clergyman who was
preaching to a Chinese congregation in
the vernacular. Come to God, oh, my
friends; come to Godp' he cried Tor
thought he did and was considerably
surprised to find some of the congrega-
ton with broad grins on their faces,
while others were frowning blackly.
Great was the good mans consterna-
ton when he found he had been say
ing, Call the pigs, oh, my friends; call
the pigsY' His mistake, believe, was
due entirely to putting the accent on
the wrong syllable, which altered the
whole sense of the words.
The Chinese seem to regard a for
eigner speaking Chinese like Dr.. John
son regarded women preaching. ct is

"settfnr the River on Fire"

In old English times, when each fam
lily was obliged to sift it's own flour, 1t
sometimes happened that an energetic
man would turn his sieve so rapidly as
to cause it to catch fire. The style of
sieve used in those days was called a
'temse," and it became a customary
saying that a lazy man would never set
the tense or fire. Now, it happens
that the name of the river Thames is
pronounced like the name Of this old
flour sieve, and after many years, when
the old fashioned tense was forgotten,
Z was thought that setting the tense
on fire meant setting the river on fire,
and that is why today we say that a
stupid person will never set the river
on fire.-LadieS' Home Journal.
