CHEATED GUT OF HIS CLAIM.
The Successful Trick of a Quartette
OF SNyindIerS.


Many things occurred during the op-
ening and settlement of the Cherokee Strip
IN Oklahoma in 1898, the like of which lad
never been seen or heard.Z| said a Joplin
printer. who was mixed up in the race
al the opening, and secured a number of
town lots at Pawnee- Il remember a
young fellow who came down TO Perry
from Iowa and staked out nice corner
lot. And. by the way merely stalking out
claim did not give one the complete
right OF possession You had to sit down
on il and hold ii fast, and the Iowa chap
was slayer. He ate his meals on the
lot and rolled himself in a blanket and
slept on It at night. Inscriptions -schem-
eTs were ever present, beating the unwary
out Of their claims. But the Iowa man
held his base and played safe.
One night four men silently approached
the sleeper They carried a tent q table
and four seats They quietly erected the
tent over he Iowa man, got out deck OF
cards and began playing seven up The
Iowa man slept on. After d while one Of
the players gave him poke in the ribs
with his foot The man IN the banket
awoke- rubbed his eyes. and stared about
eEqGirlugly. and in a very much bswiIder-
Cd manner. What the b are you do

5 CHINESE DAILY.
Queer style Of Getting out IA ruper
in San FranciscO-

CFrom the Chicago Chrouicle)
There are sixteen men on ne stan Of
the Chung Sal Vat 20, headed By Ng Poon
Chew. who IS the brains and push Of the
whole concern He is editorial writer
managing editor. news editor. city editor
exchange editor. and business manager
Then there are two staff writer's. six type
settlers. one pToOfreader, one Pressuan,
enc business office clerk one advertising
solicitor TWO regular carriers and one
cook The typesetters get $25 Z month
each and their board and lodging That is
Why there is a cook on the STAFF. All the
stan sleep in apartments back Of the
pEssSroOm and eat IN the business Office
Breakfast IS at in the morning dinner
at In the afternoon. and supper abut 10
at night. The prOOIreadcr works only in
the afternoon IN the forenoon he is a
private school teacher elsewhere. The
wages of the typesetter. together with the
board and lodging, are equivalent to pay
OF $40 q month In China the same scrv-
Ice with board would bring SIS a month.
But there are no professional Chinese
typcsetters. movable types being still a
novelty The typesetter has to be broken
into the business. That IS the way Ng
Poon Chew secured his present staff
There are more than l 600 600 types in
the more than 100 cases that reach from
the floor to the height Of a mans head.
There are between 5000 and 5000 pounds
Of type in the cases, for each character
is considerably larger and heavier than
English type OF common size. Two tons
OF stIn larger type have been ordered
from Japan. where it can be made much
faster than in China.
Instead Of the simple tTsnty-siE letters
used in the English alphabet the Chinese
typesetter must wander among more than
q hundred cases containing II, 900 Charac-
ters-
These characters are arranged in PA
correlative groups each of which con
tains the words of similar root or radical
For example, all diseases are in group
and all trees in another IN this way the
work Of the typesetter IS simpliied In
stead Of remembering the particular com
partment for each of the II 600 words he
learns the location Of each of the PA
groups
The Chinese type cases are inclined
upon A-shaped racks and are grouped ac-
cordlng 10 the relative commences of the
words. In setting up an article in type
the Chinese frequently has to walk more
than a mile turning up and down the lit
tie alIeyways OF cases. piC,\1g out a type
here, selecting another there, crossing
from side 10 side. winding in and out
among the racks and slowly building his
sentence, from the metallic blocks of
strange looking symbols.

Anglo-Saron Supremacy.

Modern Culture.
In these days Of awakened interest In
race problems and International politics
perhaps no catch-expresslon is employed
quite SO frequently or so carelessly as the
Supremacy of the Anglo saxon" Books
have been written to explain It, The maya
zines have recently been filled with dis
cussions Of it. Scarcely newspaper nov
issues from the press innoc MT or any ref
crence to 1t. one goes TO lecture he
hears expounded the supremacy Of the
Anglo Saxon; he goes to church -perchance
only there TO hear the same thing.
But in what does Anglo Saxon supremacy
consist? II IS easy to take Superficial
view of this question. In regard to Eng
land for instance. II is natural to respond
at once that her supremacy consists in
the fact that the sun never sets on her
possessions, that her naval power is the
mlghtiest that sweers the seas, that her
trade Is the richest on earth and her people
the wealthlcst. These are points beyond
dispute; YET to say that they constitute the
position Of superiority which England holds
is to lay ones self ,oncn to the charge OF
historical shortsighteduess Facts they
are, of course, but after all merely in
the more fundamental manifestations In
deepest truth the supremacy of the Eng
fish race lies primarily in the political in
stitutions which It has wrought ont. aid
which have been building ever since days
long before our AngloSaN forcfathcrs
possessed half the British isle or had even
begun TO dream OF naval power or com
merce or national unity II lies. further,
in the sturdy persistence with which these
political institutions under conditions
sometimes favorable more often unfayora
bic, have worked out the nearest approach
to mems best conceptions Of government
and social organization. And, still further,
1t consists in-or perhaps better. is evil
denced blythe fact that the political
handiwork of the English people has he
come both incentive and pattern for all in.
