He said he did not know how to play poker scientifically, but his friends per suaded him into the game. He played with varying success until a jack pot showed up.
 As the novice awEWardly fingered his cards he asked:
 Are four cards with just one spot on each one of 'em worth anything?"
 At this juncture it would be the usu- al thing to remark that all of the other players threw down their hapds and let the novice take the pot without fur ther trouble. But candOr compels the statement that these particular poker players read the comic papers. With great glee they raised the novice out of his boots and compelled him to lay down his hand.

THEODORE ROOsEyELTs WIFE.

It is high time some of our women should learn that a woman may be re- spected and loved for the things she Goss not do. as often as for the things she does do. Hundreds of thousands of men and woman respect Mrs. Theo- dore Roosevelt today because she has chosen to keep her personality in the background, and refused to stand in
 the glare of publicity. Sine has no place there and sine knows 1t. By her attitude she has won warm place in the affections cf Am r,can women and in the respect Of American men. Yet she might shine. instead of keeping in retirement. if she so cnose, as every one who knows her will at once con cede. She has simply chosen to be
 wife, a mother and a woman. and not publi-is,. She has elected to give the benefit Of her talents and gif.s to her husband, her children and her fri uGs rather than to society in its pIoIl.rcuouG sense. She has her work to dJ ia the world. but she does not bo'.-yc tsat ~orI. 70 be of public nl-

FUTURE OF CHINA.

In any resume of the elements that have contributed to the progres- os China, it i5 simply ju.L to allule to the missionaries of all nations and all ds- nominations. Truthful history must say Of them that they preceiel com merce, that their literary and educa- tiocal laDors have instructed foreign CTS as to China and China as 40 for eigner-. and that ,heir exalted phi laE,hropy has begot among the poor and the rich a great measure of respect and confidence. While it is proper to give to the imperial mari time customs, to the ministers and consuls, and to the great commercial houses full praise for their labors, We should nyt forget 2! ltefully to remem- Der those urcbtru i've but influential agents of progress, whose inspiration came from a holior source than a de sire for gain.
 The question of the future of the missionaries is Clear-cut now, and it lies ouo:ide of any consideration as to the intrinsic value of their work IL is l,his: Conceding all the good that is claimed for missionary work. should it, in view Of the present condition of China, be abandoned? That question is 10 be answered. Tn the beginning We mus recognize ,le undoubtcd ia .. that the Catholic powers-4,he pope, Spain, Italy, and especially France will never consent that the Catholic missionaries shall be driven out of China. Their interests there are i'm mense. There are twerty-cight Cath olic bishops in the empire, of whom three are ill the province of Chihli. There are vast establishment, over the country, with schools, colleges and asy- lums. Curiousiy, the Catholics have no, gone into medical CT surgical work but ',hoy fill all other fields, covering industrial schools, carpenter and other shops. and all the forms of labor.
