who is equally familiar with the dark

of the dark continent" lured him from

he was quite young man, and he was
away four years, returning with a live

north and his fascination of manner
and kindness of heart won him hum
dreds of friends.
When President Roosevelt decides

now being refitted and when complet-
ed will have all the comforts of home

MINISTER WI AND THE EXCLU-
SION ACT.

Minister WI, the Chinese Minister
at Washington, wants to discuss the
Chinese exclusion act with those ed
itors who are advocating the re-en-
actment of that law. He seems to
think that he can convince them that
they occupy an untenable position.
There is no doubt that he has a good
many arguments on his side, and that
the exclusion act is against the spirit
of the treaty which we have with
China, but the people-that is the great
majority of them-don't want any more
Cinnamon in this country. They have
nothing against the Chinese as long
as they remain in their own land. In
deed they hope they will prosper and
be happy. Chinese immigrants, how
ever, would be the cause of a great
deal of trouble If they were permitted
to come here as freely as they want
to. They would literally overrun the
country, and take from our own peo-
pie opportunities for earning a living.
They work cheaper than Americans
because they live on less. and they
would take the place of white labor
ers. AS a result we should have riots
all the time, and China would have
ample reasons for presenting big bills
for damages against the United States.
There are not more opportunities for
employment at fair wages now than
are needed by our own people, and to
introduce Chinese cheap labor would
mean starving thousands in our cities.
Minister Wu thinks, probably, that the
number that would come here would
not be very large. but the pressure
there is to get in indicates pretty
clearly that if he entertains that view
he is mistaken.
But, aside from that, we now have
as many people that cannot be assim-
Hated as we want. We have millions
of negroes and they will always be a
separate race and If we should open
our doors to Chinese immigrants we
should have millions of them, and they
would be a separate people. We don't
want them.

The EInperor's Rebuke.

The German Emperor writes the
London correspondent of the New York
Commercial, has been teaching his
barber a lesson. Very punctual him
self, the Emperor insists that his ser
wants shall also be punctual and, as he
noticed some time ago that his barber
was almost always a few minutes late
when the time came for shaving him,
he presented him with a gold chronom-
eter and urged him to make good use
of 1t. Much to his surprise the barber
continued to be a few minutes late al
most every morning and, after wait
ing in vain for some signs of improve
ment. the Emperor said to him at
last:
Have you still the chronometer that
l gave your"
Yes, Your Majesty, here It is" re-
piled the barber, taking 1t from his
pocket.
give it to me-" said the Emperor.
1T is evidently of no use to you, and
you can have this one instead"
With these words he placed the hand
some gold chronometer on his dressing
table and handed to the amazed bar
her a nickel-plated watch worth about
FIVE shillings.

THE ROOSEVELT IDEA.

Is there anything in the talk that
President Roosevelt is engaged in
smashing the Hanna political machine?
It would seem so from some things
which are taking place The Republi-
can National Committee is a part of
the Hanna political machine, and by
capable politicians it is regarded as be-
ing as perfect a machine of the kind as
was ever constructed. Within the last
two weeks the President has turned
down five or six members of that COM
mittee. In fact a few days ago, he
refused to comply with request made
by all of the members of it. Mr.. Ker-
ems, the national committeeman from
Missouri, asked that a certain appoint
ment be made, and he was backed by
all of the national committeemen,- but
his request was not granted.
Naturally, there is some consterna-
ton among the Republican leaders.
They have asked the President if it is
his purpose to disorganize the party.
He says no, but that he intends to
make appointments in accordance with
his idea of the fitness of the appli-
cants. 1t is his purpose, it is said, to
construct political machiDe in ac-
cordance with his idea of what po-
litical machine should be.
The dispatches say that he intends
to select a political manager who will
carry out his views in respect to ap-
pointments. In other words, he is go
ing to try to get elected to the presi-
dency by making appointments on the
ground of fitness and not of ability to
manage political caucuses. If he sue
ceeds in inaugurating such reform
the people Will be the gamers. The
probabilities are however that if he
gives the working politicians the cold
shoulder he will find himself greatly
in the minority when the National
Convention meets.
One report is that he has chosen
Graeme Stewart, the national commit
teeman from Illinois, to be his political
manager-to fill the place that is now
occupied by Senator Hanna. Stewart
is said to be much such a man as
Roosevelt is. 1t will be an interesting
political innovation if the President
adheres to his alleged plan of making
a contest for the presidential nomina~
ton. 1t will be watched with intense
interest by both the people and the
politicians.

Neglected Business to Play Marbles.

The game of marbles has taken pos
session of the little town of Kearney,
Mo. says the St. Louis Republic. The
business men neglect business to play
the game. They say it began with the
boys, as all games of marbles should,
but the craze, spreading, gradually in
fected sire as we'll as son, until now
it is not uncommon to see the drug
gist, the dry goods merchant and the
village blacksmith in an exciting game
on the commons.
Attorney ]. J. Vineyard was in
Kearney the other day on legal busi-
ness, when he heard some one say:
Get back to taw there"
II looked around and could scarce
ly believe my eyes" he said. 1.-The
youngest fellow in the group looked
fully twenty-five years old, and the
oldest had long, brown whiskers reach
ing nearly to his waist. And it was on
the square with them, too. l stopped
to watch the game The old gentle
man had an agate-and he called it
'aggie'-that he imagined he could
shoot straighter with than any other
kind of marble Before 1 had stood
there long, 1 found the people of Kear-
ney passed by without noticing any
thing unusual in the game"

BUsINEss-LIkE PHILANTHROPY.

The State Pawners' Society of Chi
cago was organized two years ago,
with a capital of $160,OO0. Its purpose
is to loan small amounts to poor per-
sons, on pledges, at a reasonable rate
of interest. It's interest rate is l per
cent. per month. The society thus
comes into competition with the loan
sharks who charge 10 ITO Is per cent
per month, and frequently sell borrow
ers out of furniture and home effects
when payments are missed. At it's
recent meeting the Chicago concern
reported earnings for the year of 12.72
per cent. on it's stock, showing that
philanthropy may sometimes be made
to sutain itself and have a margin
left over
Philanthropic pawnshops were first
instituted in Italy, then in Paris, and
later established in pretty nearly all of
the principal cities of Europe. In Ger.
many the government has taken hold
Of the matter, and government loan
offices are to be found in Berlin, Ham
burg and elsewhere. The business is
operated upon scientific principles and
yields small return to the govern
ment after paying all expenses. BY
reason of the competition of the gov
ernment offices with private loan con-
Germs, 1t is said that usury and extor-
tion upon the poor in Germany have
been very considerably mitigated. They
have not been eradica ted, however.
Wherever improvidence obtains, there
will be found the pawnshop and the
usurer; and it will not be possible to
get rid of them entirely until the peo-
pie have been taught ito live within
their means and lay up something for
rainy day. Improvidence is the
great cause of the necessity of VISITING
the pawnbroker; and dishonesty on the
part of borrowers is one of the chief
causes of the high rates that many
pawnbrokers charge. The lenders must
exact heavy rates in order to recoup
themselves for losses. At the same
time there are many Shylocks in the
loan business, who are after the mon
ey and do not care how much suffering
they cause in getting it.
The Chicago Pawners' Society is not
out for its pound of flesh" 1t dis
eliminates in its loans, and takes am
pie security. But it is not primarily a
money making enterprise, and hence
does not squeeze the last penny possi-
BILE out of its clients dire necessity. 1t
is doing a good work

The Lea der That Failed.

The editor of the Joyville Journal
was looking for white spot on the Of
flee towel, says the Chicago Record
Herald. The paper had gone to press
two hours ago. and he had finished
writing his leader for the morrow.
There was joy in his heart as he stood
mere with dripping hands, hunting for
the clean spot. He couldn't help think
ing of the pleasant things he had said
about the Hon. Abbott Blodgett in the
editorial on that gentleman's candidacy
for the postmastership
The Hon. Abbott Blodgett," the ed =
itor of the Journal had written, has
hved in Joyville ever since his boy
hooo, and he has never made an enc
my. lie is one of natures MOBILES"
Ihese sentences kept passing through
the EDITORS mind as he stood there
hunting for place on which to wipe
his hands. He was proud of them and
glad to say good word for Mr. Blod-
gett, because the latter had once help
ed him to get the county printing Sud
oenly, just as he had succeeded in
nndlng a place on the towel that didn't
seem TO be quite as much soiled as the
rest OF 1t, he heard heavy steps on the
stairway and a confusion of voices like
the angry sounds produced by the Ro-
man mob in the play.
Before the editor of the Journal could
arm himself for trouble an indignant
crowd of citizens, headed by the Hon.
Abbott Blodgett, rushed into the office
and demanded satisfaction. The editor
TOOK one look at the editorial that he
mad been so proud of and then jumped
through a winodw, taking the sash
with him.
The printer had done his deadly work
once more. In the paper the loaded
leader said
the Hon. Abbott Blodgett has lived
in Joyville ever since his bovhood and
he has never made an enemy. He is
one of natures noodles"

OF Old New England stock.


WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minis
ter, was exploring the Corcoran Art
Gallery one day last spring, evidently.
says the Washington Times, with the
idea of impressing on his mind the
fundamental difference between the
Oriental and Occidental brands of art.
Hubert Vos, the noted Dutch painter.
happened to have an exhibition in the
Hemlcycle a number of portraits Of
representative types of various races.
Mr.. Vos had strayed far afield in col
lectlng his gems, and the display in
cluded the presentments of Tibetan
Lamas, Indian Rajah, Arabian chiefs.
Japanese mobiles and Chinese manda-
rims. Among the latter were the por-
traits of Prince Ching and Lii Hung
Chang.
The artist, with the diplomat in tow,
paused before these canvases.
Who is that?' asked Mr. W-u, point
ing toward the picture of Ching.
That is Prince Ching" replied Vos.

only comment, and the party passed on

minister again.

cally.
1T don't look three-quarters like

And, later, when the remark hit the
chorus of sweet girl art students. who
had been forming an animated back
ground, they retired without and gig
gled.

Members Of the Baltimore bar. says
the Sun, are telling this story of one
of their young professional brethren
When the act prohibiting lawyers from
soliciting cases at the Jail was passed
a few years ago the lawyer in question
conceived the idea that ii was uncon-
stitutional. With that idea In his head
he sought an interview with a we'll
known member of his profession.
II am sure the law Is unconstitution-
al" the young lawyer said to the elder
"and propose to make test case by
having myself arrested for violating
It,"
why do you think the law Is uncon-
stitutional?' asked the elder lawyer
Because II is In restraint of trade. -
the young man replied.
The young lawyer was serious, but II
took the elder some time to recover
from his surprise. II Is needless 20 say
that the test case was never made.
