Mice ms Food In China.

The first thing which strikes the
traveller in China upon his entrance in
70 any OF the many cities of the Celes-
tial empire is the strings OF dried mice
which hang from the roofs OF the
houses suspended by their tails. just as
sausages are hung in front of butcher
shops in France.
The Chinese hunt these mice with a
long, sharp pointed knife. which they
plunge into the animals threats. Then
the mice are suspended by the tails un-
til the blood has dripped out. when
they are skinned, drawn and smoked
Another favorite dish with the Chi
nese is dogs feet. The feet of black
dogs are considered more of a delicacy
than those of any other color, and
white dogs are rejected as being taste
less. Dogs fat. prepared in 4 special
manner. is looked upon as repast DIT
for a king.

Here's One on Reexss.

The Pinckneyville Democrat tells
the following story on Congressman
Reeves, candidate for the republican
gubernatorial nomination. On the
occasion of his visit to that city, Mr.
Reeves was properly received by
committee of which Tom Turner, an
influential young republican. was a
mem Der. The Democrat says: LAT
the station introductions all around
occurred and the local committeeman
and candidates party took occasion to
get acquainted during the ride up
town. Mr.. Turner was active as any
of them in showing the congressman
that he was welcome guest.
After a period of conversation at
the hotel Mr.. Turner proceeded to i
nearby shaving parlOr to get his face
scraped. lie had hardly hung up his
hat and coat when the Streator con-
gresham and present aspirant for
the republican gubernatOrial nomina-
ton followed to the same shop on
like errand. He saw one barber at
work on customer, then his eyes
fell on Il vacant chair of torture: a
few feet away, awaiting his turn and
trying to look pleasant, was Mr..
Turner, hatless and coatIess. The
candidate thought Tom was a bar
Der.
g Can | get shaved?' queried the
congressman of Mr.. Turner.
"'I think 50; in Il few minutes
replied the member of the reception
committee.
VIII you shave me now? I'm in
hurry persisted Mr.. Reeves.
- i don 1t work here. I'm no bar
ber,' said Tom. My name is Turner.
l just rode up from the station with
you
- Oh" said Congressman Reeves.
Reeves stock is away below par
now so far as Pinckneyville is con-

related in local republican circles an

At the general assembly of the
Knights of Labor of America. which
met in Boston last month. the follow
ing resolution was unanimously
adopted: Resolved. That the GEN
eral assembly of the Knights of Labor
condemns the foreign policy of the
national administration in its efforts
to subjugate the FiliPinos by conquest.
and opposes the extension of our ter
ritory or government beyond the linn
its of this continent as. contrary to
American principles, the American
peoples interests, and the interests
of the great mass of working people"
The influence OF 10, 900. 900 Malays on
the laboring men of America-the
pauper labor of Asia far more to be
dreaded than the pauper labor of.

will ring through all our states and

Going TO Bed India.

Going to bed in India IS n very diff
ferent process from going TO bed at
home- To begin with, it is a far less
formal process. There is no shutting
the door, no cutting yourself Off from
the outer world. no going up stairs
and finally no getting into bed. You
merely lie down on your bed, which.
with its bedding, is so simple as TO be
worth describing. The bed is a wooden
frame with webbing laced across it,
and each bed has n thin cotton mat
tress- over this one sheet is spread.
and two pillows go TO each bed. That's
American.

A Bandits Victim Tells How 1t Feels

81 happen TO know how it feels to be
held up said 4 gentleman who now
occupies a position OF prominence in To-
cal railroad circles. Il acquired my
experience as a passenger in i stage
coach about six miles from Tombstone,
A. T, in 1854. We had a big load, six
men inside, two on the drivers seat
and an express messenger on the boot
Every man ill the crowd had 4 revolv-
er. two Of the inside passengers had
Winchesters across their knees, and
the messenger had an s bore duck
gun that contained nearly Il quart Of
slugs We were held up at about in
the afternoon by single masked man,
who rose suddenly from behind pile
of rocks and covered us with a sawed
Off shotgun. All the curtains We're
raised, so there was fair view of the
interior. and when he yelled Hands
up" everybody Obeyed.
Then he told US to get out one by
one and stand in q row, with our backs
to him. l never hated TO do anything
SO badly in my life. but l saw the 9th
erS going and followed suit. About
that time Il half grown boy apparently
unarmed. appeared from behind the
rocks and took up the collection. which
included our joint arsenal After that
we were ordered back, and the chief
bandit told the driver 10 go ahead.
LAS far as | know. the robbers were
never caught. but what especially i'm
pressed me about the episode was the
reluctance of any of our party 10 take
the initiative. | was certain the slight

the first move had an excellent chance
of being killed. and l suppose all the
others felt the same way. Anyhow. it

squads and kept In an ante-room In the

In many years that sourt Of inquiry has
convened at this academy.
Fourteen Of the sixty-sight cadets OF

the afternoon and all Of them who knew
Booz declared that his standing with
bis classmates was not very high. as they
looked upon him as coward. The story
OF his fight with Ksllar In 'ee was told
by Cadst o. N. Tyler. who seconded
Booz. when asked by the court why he
did 80, Tyler said well. Boos asked me to
be his second, and could not well re-

Every one OF the Witnesses denied that
any brutal hazing occurred and two Of
them described the "braolng'' and set
ting up drills as only correctional
measures, and neither injurious or hu-
initiating. Ever, one of them seemed to
give straightforward story and one and
all dsnied that Booz had been interf cred
with on account OF his religious belief or
tendencies. The hearing will be resumed
at Q. so tomorrow morning.
