member reading somewhere that it was
the smallest gate that gave entrance
to the walled city Of Jerusalem and
that a loaded camel had to be stripped
of Its burden and bend its knees to
squeeze. through. And so a rich man
had to give up his riches and come
to his knees before he could enter
heaven, It was just one of the thou
sand proverbs that adorned the moral
teachings OF the Jews and the eastern
nations. The writings. of Job and Solo
mon and Confucius and Mohammed
abound in them.
In the Koran Is found this proverh,
1.-THE impiousN man will find the gates
Of heaven shut, and he can no more en-
ter than Q camel can pass through a

the Koran which says, You win never
see palm tree of gold nor an elephant

proverbs simply meant that it was i'm
possible Strange to say, the world

TONS OF BULLETS !
FOR CHINA.
Uncle Sam Rushing War Mu-
nttiOns Across the Pacific
In Large Quantities.
se .s.st.
BY ARTHUR BIaELow.

One of the Immediate effects of our
participation in the war against China
has been to start into activity every
government arsenal and almost every
private firearms factory in the country
Many thousands of workmen are nov
busy filling rush orders FOR arms and
ammunition with which to equip our
force in China.
War is not conducted on economical
principles, as a rule Soldiers believe
that powder is made to burn and ear
tridges to be fred, and it is seldom you
find an army officer who will advise
his men to be saving Of their ammuni-
ton. Men who are clever with figures
aud can compile statistics have reckon
ed just how many scores Of bullets it
takes to kill a man in battle. This
proves that soldiers do a lot OF needless
firing, which every one expects them to
do, and it also shows that "a keep d
big army in the field for any length Of
time a vast amount of ammunition is
necessary.
1t Is evident that the authorities at
Washington believe the war In China
is going to be long aud hard one ii we
are to Judge by the elaborate prepa-
rations in the way of arms and ammu-
milton.
The United States war department
did not find itself particularly well off
in the matter of ammunition supply
when the present trouble in China cul-
minated In actual hostilities The sit
uation was not, to be sure, as serious
in some respects as that at the out
break of the spanish-American war,
but nevertheless the blue coated fight.
ers in the Philippines have fired a
good many cartridges during the past

II has been known all along that IL
actual warfare was precipitated in
China, 1T would of necessity be on an
extensive scale, with great bodies Of
troops engaged, and thus at the first
hint Of impendh@as-ttrouble the govern

rIous ammunition factories holding con
tracts with the government, which re

Curios Of the Census

Those cities which have bean taking
imaginary censuses and swelling their,
proportions to Brobdignian size are
greatly chagrined at the facts as, dis
closed by the census taker. Estimate,
the slip-shod school census and bragga-
docio are eliminated in the eHactness
that comes from the figures ascertained
by careful compilation. Wheeling
only shows up a small margin over 49,
900, yet the activities on the streets and
the business transacted in her marts of
trade, give one the impression of city
OF 10000 or $4,000 population. In truth
Wheeling Is city of $4,000 when we
consider the proposition In 4 business
rational being is Directing to the small
increase noted In our population, ex-
cept that the outlying districts. which
have prospered. pay no city taxes.
Here comes in the explanation Of Gin
cInnati's kick which city refuses to be-
lieve that 1t has only accumulated u.s.
9l4 more population than 1t had In 1899.
But one paper explains that by the
trend Of the people towards the suburbs,
of which Cincinnati has many. This
also is an explanation of Whrellng's
check in the proper increase she would
otherwise show. Since the last census
was taken the Elm Grove road changed
from steam to electric power Induce
ments have been offered to many to
build along the pike, until to-day 1t Is a
virtual stretch OF the city from Fulton
to Elm Grove, with natural obstacles
in the way Of making Echo Po!nt,
Leatherwood, Pleasant Valley and con-
tinguous groups of buildings Identical
with Wheeling. In fact they arc ex-
cept In government and taxes. This
escape from enumeration and taxes nc-
counts for the showing this city will
make in the present census. Cincin-
natl Is growing on this score, but what
Is the use ow growing. Wheeling can
not Join in that plant. People are now
building and will continue to build OIL
the line of the Elm Grove road, and we
say 1t In all modesty Wheelugite can
show a stranger that expanse Of subur-
ban habItation with some degree OF
pride.
