DR.. Dillon, in the Contemporary, draws

one piteous tale of mingled outrage
and bloodshed, DR.. Dillon adds:
ST knew of others whose wives and
daughters hanged themselves on trees or
drowned themselves in garden wells, in
order to escape much worse lot. Chi
nese women honestly believed that no
more terrible fate could overtake them
than to fall alive into the hands of Eu-
ropeans and Americans. And it is to te
feared that they were right. Buddhism
and Confuclanism have their martyrs TO
chastity, whose heroic feat5 no martyr
ology will ever record. Some of those
obscure but right-ninded girls and wom-
ell hurled themselves into the river, and
finding only three feet of water there,
kept their heads under the surface until
death had set his seal on the sacrifice of
their life. But a large number Of

missionary in Pekin who, in company
with female colleague, busted herself,
to my knowledge, for months in shield
ing Chinese women and girls from beng

diers and the work was anything but
easy, though 1 have reason to believe
that it has proved eminently successful.
Even in the broad daylight soldiers hung

1t is about time that there was some
general protest against the ind1scrimiuate
and wasteful use of public money in
these so-called river and harbor appro-
priation bills. A couple OF years ago
$1,000 was given to improve the river in
Mississippi and when the government
engineer looked it up they found it per-
feetly dry and it never had water In it
except after a rain storm. 1t is stated
as fact that on the Missouri river
above above Sioux City the amount of
money spent by the government equals
$1,000 for every ton of freight sent by
the river boats; this for the past year.

They way Fred Schiffmann starts in to
run the office of oil inspector shows that
he has the correct Republican idea Of
it. As a pap extractor he must be a
daisy. Not satisfied with the So, 900 that
the Office brings in ordinarily, he pro-
ceeds as reported, to swell his revenues
by bleeding his deputies. In the past
deputy inspectors in the country dis
trfcts have usually been permitted to
pocket all the fees they got. AS the
bulk of the oil was inspected in the Twin
Cities, the deputies seldom cleared more
than pocket money, except in Red Wing,
Winona and other southern points. Now,
it seems, rural inspectors are being re-
quired to turn in a percentage of their
receipts to the state oil inspector. Thus
the good old Republican doctrine that
public office is a private bonanza is again
illustrated

ut really Is a sin
That you buy your salt on the whole

And don't let me handle the tinl"
Then he hied him back to his grocery

And quickly an order sent
For few choice hams for family use
And box of fish for lent
Said the clothing man to the hardware

"You certainly don't do right

For the heart OF man is sefish thing,
And each looks after his own;

Soon proved himself as deep in the mud
AS his neighbor was in the mire.

To see where the trouble lay,
And they all agreed twas the editor
Instead of the devil to pay;
"Why don't he roast the department
stores,
And the peddling fakes" they said,
"And stand bv the opes who stand by
him,
And give him his daily bread?"
So they drew up a protest, long and
strong,
For the editor to peruse,
And they waited on HIM with aspect
grim
AS he solemnly dug for news;
But the editor laughed great horse
laugh,
Till the whole gang took to the

1t was written on Cheap-John letter
