plain he believed in most.
He believed in pulling wishbones'
for he knew If he got the long end, and
then put it over the door, his wish
would be almost sure to come true.
Along about Thanksgiving time there
were great many wishbones, and the
narrow shelf at the top Of the door
casing was filled with grisly hopes
that were mostly to come true Christ
mas morning.
For in the goodness Of Santa Claus
he believed most Of all. There was
just one Santa Claus, and there was no
faith and no feeling quite like that on
the afternoon before Christmas, when
he drove the tack into the back left
hand corner of the mantelpiece and
hung on it his longest and reddest
stocking, and then sat in different
parts of the room to look at 1t and
so make sure that Santa Claus could
not fail to see it first thing.
He had wanted knife. He had
wanted one since he could first remem-
Der, but now that he had been going
to school it seemed to him that there
was nothing in the world he wanted
like that. The other boys had them.
To be sure they were all older than
him, but he had caught up with them
in his lessons, and it seemed as knives
and lessons ought to go together. His
parents were afraid he would cut his
fingers, but he had used the other boys
knives and had not cut himself; at
least only a little once, and that was
: an accident.
He made up his mind at last that In
Santa Claus lay his only hope. Santa
Claus, who knew everything, would
know that lie was old enough to have
a knife-perhaps one with two blades,
big one and little one. He men
toned this to his parents, but they
looked grave and said that Santa Claus
was very particular about little boys
digerz.
he had been getting all the long
|nls of the wish bones, and his wish
lm always for the knife. Above the
ting room door there was a perfect
ket of long ends. The knife was

 PROPRIETOR.

Tittemore may be united to the soldier
 whom the fortunes of war have taken
 to the other side of the globe that the long journey is made, and a quiet little
 wedding is planned to take place when
 all the miles of land and water have
 been traKersed.
 It may be months before Mss Titte- more can reach her fiance. She will
 not be allowed to go to Tien IIin now,
 and the Sixth cavalry, which Is at
 present guarding the communications
 of the allies between Pekfn and lien
 Tsin. will doubtless soon be ordered 10
 Pekin to reinforce the army thsre.
 The romance which promises to have
 q fitting termination under the cloud
 of war began last summer at Fort Lo-
 gan. near Denver Lieutenant Dean
 was stationed there. He had then been
 but a year in the army. It was only
 about three years ago that he was graduated from the Highland Park Military academy and enlisted in an
 Illinois regiment in the spanish war. His regiment got no further than Chfckamauga. but young Dean had shown adaptability to military lie ana
 was given an appointment as second lieutenant in the Sixth regular cavalry. Miss Tittemore is a resident of Mar ehaiItown. Iowa. She Is a sister of J. x. Tittemore, general freight agent of the Iowa Central railroad. She was visiting friends in Denver when she
 met Dean.
 The wedding day was set for l@s' May. but when the wedding day came Miss Tittemore was ill of fever. She had not recovered when the Sixth was | ordered to go to the Philippines. It was then arranged that the wedding | should take place in Manila. The reSl-
 ment had proceeded only as far as San | Francisco when the order was received | to go to China instead of the Philip
 pines. Again fate defeated the plans | of the lovers. But Miss Tittemore | would not accept defeat. She wrote to ] Dean that she would follow him even 1 to the land of the boxer horrors as scoa | as she gained sufficient strength. 1 Then the trip to China was planned ! Miss Tittemore obtained chaperont 1 who is much interested in her happi' ! ness. When they reach Nagasak
 they will rent a Japanese bungaloo, hire a servant and await an opportu- ] nifty to reach Tien Ts!n.
 Miss Titteplore had not yet fully re- l gained her health when she set out on | her long journey. and there have been ] many fears for the result; but Naga- 1 saki is a healthy seaport, an ideal plac= | in which to recupera: :e.-Chicago Inter ! Ocean.

 Laws throughout China make it im- pera1ive that the greatest respect he paid to the dead. These laws govern not only the actions Of the Chinese. at I time when an official dies. but eX- tends even to the members of ones family. It is said. however. that there is less occasion to enforce the laws In this particular than in any other mis- demsanor prohibited by the law books of the Celestials. Reverence for an cestors, or that which is more properly called ancestor worship is almost part of the Chinaman's nature
 After the death of one of the family. the aim of those who survive is to save sufficient money to give deceased an elaborate burial They deny them selves many things often for q period of three years Wlen the day for the funeral comes 1t is a truly notable one. There are proce- si0ns. bands of music. and the offering of sacrifices. The cSf- fin. the ancestral tablet. all the sacri fees are all borne to the grave sepa- rately,
 The performance Is In many respsc.S similar 10 the funeral services held in San Francisco Cday in that section of the city known as "Ch.nat@wn." Es- pecially is this true in the procession. when q leading Chinaman goes ahead with strips Of paper which contain many ho,es. These are scattered broad cas-. It is the belief of the Chinese that if they can bury their dzad before the evil spirit, whch Is following, can catch up with the body. then the de- ceased will have p.ace after death. IL is further believed by them that this spirit must pass through each hole in each of the strips Of paper, and as they scatter thousands of them there are no Chinamen who gre not saved. if the flu neral is conducted at all as it should be-
 No matter if j. is th"ee yeas after the death of the one whom they are bear ing to the grave. the members, of the family are expected to mourn just as much as if it were the next day after death. While the greater part of this $ agonized form rather than sincere mourning, still, they succeed very well in making the show.
 There are practically ho Chinese grave yards in China. The only ceme- teries are those of American mission. aries. The Chinese of the southern provinces usually select a spot fer the deceased off Gy itself. perhaps in the side of mountain. Their graves Te- semble in shape somewhat a horse. shoe. and are several times as large az the coffin. A dry place is selected, out of the reach of the white ants, and there a tomb is built. Sometimes these tombs are finely carved. The style ot ora ye Or tOmb differs in various SFc- ticns os China.-Ph:la1-phia Record.

FUNERALS IN CHINA.
Peculiar Customs Which Prevail In the
 Celestial Kingdom.

When the armies of the world finish with China it is safe to say there will be many C6inamen to bury. Chinese burial customs will demand their inter meat in log-!ike coins, which, after the corpse Is placed within. is sealed tiaat- ly, and. strange to say. they Me cut of doors often for months. awaiting the time when the family of the deceased can afford an elaborate burial.
 Chinese funerals and burial customs are ia many respects the same through out the empire. The collins can be seen lying about, just outside many If the houses. No odor escapes from them for they ar tightly sealed with mortar O. some other substance, and within tha body lies in a preparation of quick lime. Some Of the families keep the collins and their occupants inside their homes for perhaps year. It ts. how ever. not considered disrespectful in many sections U allow them to remain outside
 While all of these queer coins are shaped like logs. there is d great diff ference in quality. One can be pu"- cha =ed for $10. While another may cost $10Co. Some are beaCtfcuEy carved and male Of expensive wood. All are var nishsd.
 \ ChiHaman 1ften makes one of taese quceIly cor-tructei collins fer himself during his lifetime. anticipating how nice it will look alter he is gone. In some sections incense is burned over these collins as long as it remains above ground. These rites are per- formed usually by the oldest son of the family. especially if the iecea sed is the father. Sometimes this older son soez about raising funds with which to hold able funeral celebration. The Cll- [ ness as rule contribute liberally on such occasions. On the older son also devO.ves he GUtr of va hing the corp-o just prior to placing il in the coffin. Then. assisted by hts brother. if h has any. they place the finest apparel they can afford upon the deceased. A fan is then placed in one hand. and the work of sealing the coffin begins The Chinese are shrewd h some ways, and in case of the death of some one in the family of one who owes them 1 they will take the opportunity to atts -h the coffin in which tha corpse rests and hold it until the debt is paid This scheme works like q charm. for never would a son allow his relatives re- mains to he the property of the man | he may owe.
 | Throughout the Fokien provinces. in which Foochow is situated, there is a custom Of placing piece of silver in
