An Armour Story,

Mr.. Armour used to be at his desk in
his Chicago Office every morning at Z
O'Clock, an hour earlier than some of his
clerks arrived, says the Chicago Inter-
Ocean. He had his breakfast before G, and
his customary retiring hour was 8 in the
evening. In those early rising times a
comical thing once happened. One morn
ing he discovered a clerk in the office
ahead of him.
Good morning." said Mr.. Armour,
rather early for you, isn't it?''
1T is said the clerk with a flush of
embarrassment. I'm down a little early
this morning, but you see I'm a little
behind with my ledgers and l want to
catch up"
Nothing pleases me more than to see
a young man faithful and ambitious; one
that isn't afraid of working a minute
over hours. You may go and order new
suit of clothes, and tell your tailor to
send the bill to me-
The clerk almost fell off his stool with
establishment. The truth was that he had
spent the night painting the town, and
with consciousness of guilt was quaking
in fear of discharge. He ordered a 800
suit and when the bill came in was lee
tured by MI Armour for his extrava-
gance. Mr.. Armour pointed out in a
fatherly way the danger of living be-

MRS. STOVES BOOK ATTACKED.

If as recently as a decade ago a Northern
man had, in the city OF Boston, attacked
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stoves book, I'm
Gle Toms Cabin" he would in all prob
ability have been hooted and ieered as an
enemy of human rights, if indeed rocks
had not been thrown at his head. But
time is a wonderful softener and now
men and women Of the North are coming
to look at the causes which led to the
great war of secession in the light of rea-
son and conservatism, with the resul.
that in many instances they are ready to
admit that the view of the South was
right. An illustration of this was present
ed in Boston the other day, when Mr.. f.
Hoplkinson Smith, the author and artist,
vigorously attacked and denounced Mrs.
Stoves famous book before the Newton
Club. And not only was there an absence
of protest against his expression, but he
was listened to with marked interest.
Mr.. Smith asserted with great anima-
ton that Uncle Toms Cabin" was "the
most vicious book that ever appeared"
Continuing he said, in part: II could go
write similar book. The book precipi-
tated the war, and made the North be-
lieve nothing but the very worst of the
South We are not inhuman people; we
are all alike: we are Americans. Il was
an outrage to raise the North against the
South The book was an awful, appalling
and criminal mistake" Later, in talking
of why he made the attack upon the book,
Mr. Smith said: Mrs. Stowe went down
there into the South with the avowed in
tention of finding the conditions which
she described in her book. She stayed
there only three months and she told
her story as if it was all there was to
tell. Mrs Stoves book. taken in con-
junction with the presence of hot-headed
Southerners in Congress, precipitated thu
war"

as TO whether or not the war could have
been averted had it not been for the fire.

Her Grievance.

Distressed by her cooks frequent COM
plants of toothache. a mistress of the
upper West Side decided few days ago
that il was time to recommend heroic
remedies, says the New York Sun.
Hannah, there is no use putting it off
any longer. There is DIR. Jones over

out pain. Why don't you see him and
have it over WITH"
Hannah scarcely relished the sugges-
ton. but after another nights suffering
sorrowfully announced: Deed. I ken
jess stan dis no longah," and asked per-
mission to go to Or. Jones. Her mistress
rejoiced in the thought that the agony
was at last to be ended. When, an hour
later, however, she beheld Hannah march
down the area-way steps, the whites of
her eyes flashing and her head bobbing
with a vehemence born of righteous fury,
visions not only of lost molars, but of de-
parting cook came before her. She en-
tered with the dignity of an insulted At
rican queen.
Anything wrong. Hannah? Didn't he

tress.

The Twentieth Century.

From the Somerville (Mass) Journal.
So far the brand-new century seems
greatly like the old.
The January days are short, the nights
are long and cold.
When summer comes the mercury no
doubt will soar as high
AS ID did a hundred years ago In August
and July.
The bill collectors come around just as
they used to do
In eighteen-zero-zero, when the century
was new.
The debtors make excuses just as debtors
used TO then.
And calmly say: I'm short to-day; you'll
have to call again"
The girls are just as beautiful. the men
are just as bold
On the edge Of the new century as they
were all through the old.
The grocers sim sell sugar fifteen ounces
to the pound.
And now, as then, love is the thing that
makes the world go round.
The boys and girls are much the same
as their elders used TO be.
They think they know Il all-but they
don't, as their elders plainly see
In short, in "A single sentence, the story
may be told:
This brand-new century that's come Is
exactly like the old.

ator began to chuckle to himself. and the
whole table leaned forward full of expecS
tation. The Senator went on:
when Harrison was in the Senate he
always used to bring his luncheon to the
committee room. He carried it in his coat
pocket and would eat 1t while he went on
with his work. One day when he got it
out as usual from his pocket we saw him
look it all over ruefully, and ia did look
rather fiat and dubious. He finally re-
marked to us that he guessed he must
have sat on it accidentally One of his
colleagues, one who had recently been ig-
nored by Harrison, spoke up impulsively:
We'll, by Jove, Harrison, if you've sat on

THE GOLD sTANpARp LAW.

There are three bills pending for
strengthening the gold standard law. The
difference between them is not very great
not so great but that the Committee on
Coinage will be able to make one salts
factory bill out of them.
There seems to be some lukewarmness
in acting on the bills-that is there is
not much enthusiasm among the Republi-
cans for any additional gold standard Leg
slation. 1t is admitted that there is
doubt whether the present law is suffi-
cient for maintaining the gold standard.
This doubt was made to play a prominent
part in the last presidential campaign.
The Republicans said that it would not
be advisable to trust a Democrat in the
treasury because he might manage 1t 20
as to overthrow the gold standard with
out consulting Congress.
They did not say why they did not re-
move this doubt when they had the power

THE FUTURE OF CHINA.

1t is still an open question whether
| China is to remain an empire or be
broken up and divided among the princi-
pal Powers of Europe. 1t is well under
stood what the policy OF the United States
is They want the integrity of the en-
pire maintained and the "open-door' pol
icy firmly established. What the policies
of the other Powers which are taking
part in Chinese affairs are no one can
say with any degree Of certainty.
Before the Powers came to an under
standing respecting the note containing
the demands to be made upon the Chi
nese government, it was thought that it
was agreed that the empire was to be
preserved. Now there are rumors that
there have been deals between Russia and
Great Britain, the former TO take the
northern part of the empire and the lat
ter the Yaug-tse valley. What parts
Germany, France, Italy and Austria are
to take is not stated. 1t is to be assumed,
however, that they have already picked
out the territory they want.
China has not yet signed the note, and
she doesn't want to sign it. Before the
Powers signed it the most perfect an
derstanding, it was thought, existed be-
tween them. Now it is far from certain
that their future action will be harmor1-
Gus. 1t is even said that there is a sug-
gestion that the United States shall be
left out of the concert Of Powers. 1t
seems that their suggestion that the
forces of the Powers be withdrawn from
China and that the question Of peace be
settled before that of the indemnity has
not been well received.
1t begins to look as If the European
Powers would like to eliminate the United
States from the situation. Russia pro-
tests that there is no such desire, and no
doubt the other European Powers would
support her in making that protest.
Nevertheless there appears to be a grow
ing feeling that the European Powers re-
gard the United States as a hindrance to
their plans.
China will no doubt sign the note. She
does not dare to refuse. Refusal would
mean the permanent occupation of the
country by the Powers and the breaking
up of the empire. but she is not certain
that the empire will be preserved If she
does sign il.
The future OF China is in more doubt
now than it was the day after the be-
sFeged ministers were relieved by the al
lied armies. Then 1t was regarded as GER
tain that the empire would be preserved
although it was expected that the condi-
tions that would be imposed upon China
would be as heavy as she could bear. Now
the talk of parceling out the empire is
making its appearance in the dispatches.
No doubt the United States will insist
upon the preservation Of the integrity of
the empire. and If that policy is success
full they will achieve a notable diplomatic
triumph. But it is a safe prediction that
adjustment of Chinese affairs will not be
accomplished soon.
