women always act queer at fires.
said Smith, oracularly. Smith is an
old bachelor, and naturally his judg-

Miss Jones, "but I'll merely tell you
what came under my own eyes the last
time a fire was announced at this hotel.
You know the bellboy or clerk raises a

an old boarder, and consequently pay
no attention to it. Well, few weeks

could see the flames shooting up past

though. as we know now, nothing came
of it. An old gentleman stood before
the glass putting the finishing touches
to his toilet. He was all dressed save
his necktie, and he couldn't get that
in bow to suit him. Three times he
tied it, united it and began over again.
Then he walked off and left his pocket

The census figures tell the sad
story of $4,000 superfiuous women in

been long famous as an overpro-
ducer of women, but New York has
hitherto escaped suspicion. The fig

females than males in the boroughs

mate shows that there are about

penetrated to China. In 1917 they
established friendly relations with
the mandarins. But these foreigners

Chinese were compelled to shut their

proud of her civilization in compars
