marched out under triumphant col
ors while their "Christian" Kaiser
at home exults over these valorous
and chivalrous deeds. The apollo
gist say that war must have its hor-
ros. And everybody is satisfied
that civilization has once more
righted the wrongs committed
against it.
Perhaps these views may seem
morbibly exaggerated. 1t is no
torious TACT that the treatment OF
Chinese by many Foreigners is
scarcely less cruel than were the
detestable cruelties of slave drivers
under a system which now revolts
the civilized moral sense. IF a Chin
aman fell over board in Chinese
port it is waste Of time to rescue
him while millions out of the three
hundred and fifty to four hundred
millions "yellow dogs exist to take
his place If a Chinese sailor or
servant or coolie displease his mas
ter or employer the Christian way TO
teach him better is to knock him
down. If you do that with an Amer
lean an Euglishman. Frenchman,
a German or japanese two I'M
pleasant consequences follow. The
individual viii probably resent it
and he will have further redress in
the law courts of an efficient govern
ment which actually protects its
citizens. But the poor Chinaman is
50 accustomed to be treated like a
brute that il not valued as prop
erty thai he himself half believes
himself to be one. Hence it does
not occur TO him TO resent wrong
inflicted by the representative OF
some superior" race.
Furthermore his state is like one
of those low animals which does not
even seem to know when one part of
an extremity has been cut of, and
for which nature is sure to produce a
substitute. Hence the individual
Chinaman has no state to protect
him. And his prosecutor has moth
ing to fear. OF course one thinks
that the brutal being who would
take advantage of such opportuni-
ties to be cruel are exceptional. OF
course they are but among the ad
verturous and seafaring classes who
come into contract with these people
are aggregated large proportion OF
those exceptions Besides men are
strikingly influenced by limitations
and customs and thus have develop
ed special code of ethics in dealing
with Cinnamon. These are all facts
that may be attested by any one
who has lived in the Orient
Then came the war ships Of
christian nations and seized
Kianchow and Port Arthur. Dip
lomatists Of those same superior ma
tions come with "shells and shining
objects of diplomacy which they
seek to exchange for more and more
Chinese territory more and more
power over the Chinese. at last
even the torpid Chinese body be
comes sensitive aud the Chinaman
who dares to defend his countrymen
or his country against the wrongs
and aggression Of foreigners by the
only means he knows becomes a
detestable Boxer. His only merit is
death and confiscated goods which
punishment is all the more just be-
cause it is precisely that indicated
by Chinese ethics for offenders.

Work-Picture Reveals Her Identity.
Ellis Glenn is on trial in Parkers-
burg for forgery and the case is one of
the most interesting ever to come up
in tie state. There is some deep
MYSTERY surrounding this woman
which up until the present time has
not yet been solved. 1t is claimed
that her twin brother committed the
crime for which she was arrested.
Ii is claimed by Others that she is
her twin brother. In other words she
has been masquerading as man al
though she is now known to be a
woman. For several years she appear
ed to be man and acted like one in
respect to mingling with men and
working as hired laborer.
Ebert Glenn was resident OF Nor
ganLown for two years. This was
several years ago. He roomed at Mrs.
Brands on Front street. While here
he attracted no particular attention
and nothing was thought strange
about him except the smallness OF his
hands and feet.
He was very handy about the
kitchen and would often help Mrs.
, Brand with the homework. At this
be was very proficient. He had a girl
out in the country who may remember
the sweetheart has now turned out to
have been woman in disguise.
During the time that he roomed at
Mrs Brands he worked at various
jobs about town, working for a time
in the oil field near here. He was a
sort of a carpenter and in fact did any
old thing that came along. He room
ed with several of the men boarding
there and this fact that he was a
woman was never suspected by any
OF them
The family with whom he had
bearded and those who had known
him about town had entirely forgotten
him until they saw the picture of the
woman published in some Of the pa
pers. They then remembered that
SIZE had been here and while here was
dressed and acted like man.

AN INTERRUPTED
00 VACATION 00

ELLIOTT and Edwards are already
back from their vacation. They
did not stay as long as they expected
and they had one adventure which
they have sworn to keep a secret. 1t
happened the first night after they
reached the lake.
Though Elliott and Edwards have
lived on the shores of Lake Michigan
all their lives, they had never until
this spring been out on the water.
When they decided to go to the Wis
consin lake for their vacation trip
they decided that they must at least
learn how to row boat. So they
went up to Lincoln park after office
hours and practiced until they felt
that they were finished oarsmen.
When they reached the summer re-
sort at which they had engaged cot
tage they wore blue yachting suits
and white yachting caps, and were
made up" in every way like a couple
of sad sea dogs. Outside of vacation
days they were bookkeepers in an in
surance office on La Sale street. They
were only few years over 20, how"
ever, and it was natural they should
want to cut dash. Elliott had downy
red mustache, and both youths wore
gold-rimmed pinch nose eyeglasses.
After dinner in the big dining-room
they decided it was "up to them to
give an exhibition of their seamanship.
Old 'Tom," the man in charge of the
boats, smiled when he saw them bare
two pairs of arms which it would take
wholesale poetic license to call
brawny. He tried to give them a
g broad-beamed, flat-bottomed old slliff
which could hardly be tipped over, but
they were too knowing for him. They
insisted on having a cranky little
thing, pointed at both ends, and too
narrow for either comfort or safety.
AS the lake was perfectly calm
"Tom" let them have it, and they start
ed out. Some one had told them of a
1og-cabin resort across therlake where
the beer was good and there was a
mice little poker game" in operation
The boys went across in fine style
and made dashing landing on the
sandy beach of the log-cabin resort
The beer, they found, was cool and
good, and; after three stems apiece
they "sat in" the poker game. Before
they knew it both boys had made dan
gerous holes in their vacation money
That was bad enough. When they
started to go home they found that a
heavy sea was running. It was also
true that the beer they had drank had
the effect of making the sea look even
more tempestuous and terrifying than
it really was.
But the sad sea dogs from the Lin.
coin park lagoon were not to be cas-
lily daunted. They got into their
cranky little skiff and pushed boldly
off, encouraged by the cheers of the

KISSING BY TELEPHONE.
Novel Performance in which VvOnn-
an Seemed to Find Consider
able Satisfaction.

When the woman at the soda water
fountain turned round to pay her bill
she saw the fat clerk braced back
against the perfumery stand, tanning
himself Imply, says the New York
Sun.
Ibid you hear that2' he asked.
"Hear what?'' said the woman.
''What?' he repeated, incredu1ous-
iy. SIT doesn't seem possible that
anybody could become so absorbed in
a glass of ice cream soda as to miss
that. I am talking of the osculatory
performance of the woman who just
went away from the phone.
Honestly, that custom is a new
one on me. I've been working in
drug stores, one place and another,
a good many years, andD have heard
several millions of women talk
through the phone, but this is the
first time 1 ever heard one of them
kiss over the wire.

there he found a line that reached out

was full when they started. For the
first mile the walking was along a
high grassy shore, with nothing to inn
pede their progress. Then suddenly
everything seemed to happen at once.
The moon went under a black cloud,
and presently it began to rain. The
open shore gave way to tangle of
underbrush, and presently the boys
pitched down into a swamp which in
quilted them half way up to their
knees. In the darkness they waded
around for a few minutes until sud-
denly Elliott plunged at full speed into
barbed wire fence. The rebound
sent him down backwards into the
slime, while his gold nose-glasses went
into the darkness as if they had been
shot from gun. Presently Edwards
had the same experience. His glasses
flew off his nose as he tripped over
root, and the next half hour was spent
by both young men in looking for the
treasure they had lost. After cropping
around in vain for Is minutes Elliott
became desperate, for without his
glasses he was next to blind man.
He went down on his knees in the
swamp and clutched fercely at the tall
clumps of swamp grass. Meanwhile it
was pouring rain, and the new yacht
ing suits of both were soaked. By the
light of flash of lightning Elliott
finally miraculously found his glasses
hanging on the tall leaf of flag.
Edwards was a little less dependent
on his glasses, and he agreed to give
up the search when Elliott was once
more ready to start.

rain, and covered with slime up to

IN COUNTRY LANES.

o country lanes, white-starred with bloom,
Where wild things nestle, shy and sweet,
Where all your waving grasses laugh
And part before my eager feet
Could forever dwell with you
Letting the mad old world rush bys
And just be glad of wind and sun,
OF rocking nest and brooding sky!
How often, in the crowded streets,
L dream of you, sweet country lane,
And feel once more your soft breeze soothe
My sordid breast and weary brain.
Ever above the cIty's din,
Above the clink of yellow gold,

That Heaven bides here, o fiower-starred
