THE HOTELCHECK?R PROBLEM
A Question Of Whether to Offend
Guests or Risk Losing Money.

The hotel clerk was standing behind
the desk, with disconsolate look on
his face.
whats the matter?" asked friend.
"Matter?" said the clerk. why. it's
the same old story. I've been stuck for
another check. This check business
causes us hotel clerks more trouble
than anything else in the world. There
is a general rule in hotels that no
checks shall be cashed. but very often
travellers run short CT money. 1t is
good business policy to cash these
checks when you can be sure that
they're all right. No hotel can afford
to be continually offending guests. At
the same time, if a clerk cashes bad
check he has to stand the loss.
The average hotel clerk has learned
by bitter experience to be pretty good
Judge of human nature. but every now
and thea he Slips up. Only a week ago
big, splendid looking fellow came to
me and got me to cash check for $50.
l sized him up and decided that he was
all right and that he was good man
TO keep among the steady patrons of
the hotel. A few days later back came
the check, with No funds marked
across it. The result was that l was
out $40"
While the clerk was talking a swag-
ger looking woman came up to the
desk and, smiling sweetly at the clerk,
said:
will you please cash this little
check?'
The clerk was all graciousness. He
took the check and examined it care
fully without saying anything.
"Oh, it's all right" said the woman.
"Of course, if you don't want to cash it
you needn't. Mr.. So-and-so knows me
quite well, and you can telephone him
about it if you want to, but it would
save me great deal of trouble if you
could cash it for me now"
Certainly, madam" said the clerk,
and then he went over and held a con.
sultation with the cashier.
They decided that the woman was q
good investment and gave her the mon
ey. She went away smiling, and then
the clerk said:
Nov, there is just al out an eve.
money chance. If hadn't caShed tina
check, she would have been highly in
suited and would have talked abou
this hotel as long as she could remem

Chinese BARRIERS.
(The Qniver.l

The barber's calling is supported by
Government. What if his little squat
razor only covers an inch or two at the
time and makes the operation unneces-
sarily tedious; he has the advantage of
knowing that he represents lawful
authority, somewhat as a public vaccina-
tor does at home. He ought never to
suffer from being out Of work. Then his
pcrquisite, the combings, makes up for
natural deficiencies. He can sell at clear
profits tails Of his own collecting and max
ing. Perhaps the fact that Chinese hair
offers little variety i'll color simplifes this
article of commerce. The more sable the
better; children'sl heads are shaven i'll
order that it may be as black and thick
as possible. Black is much more cheerful
a Chinaman plaits white silk in his hair
when he goes into mourning. Tales Of n
tail might be multiplied. The Chinaman's s
lis more expressive than any that has not
the power to wag with satisfaction or
droop with dismay. For convenience in
work, it is fastened up in n coil; but for
a man to speak to his superior without
letting it down is an insult. No Christian
would enter church i'll this dishabille; n
stranger might possibly do so, and in such
a case, before beginning the service, the
officiating minister would fix him with a
glance and pOlitely-for the natives eX-
pcct politeness under all circumstance
address him: "Sir, will you kindly let
down your tail!"

| DATE PALMS CAN BE GROWN HERE.
This Gives Hope of Redeeming the Alkali
Lands of the Southwest

The date palm may solve the problem
of what to do with the arid and alkali
lands of Arizona, CalifC rnia, and other
Western States. Experiments have been
made in the past by the Agricultural De
partment and experiment stations, but re-
,, ncwed interest is being taken by the Sec
ton of Plant Introduction of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. and Prof. d. G.. Fair
child, agricultural explorer for the De
| partment, now travelling in Africa. has
produced a number of suckers, or off
shoots from the delta of the Nile, which
he has shipped to the Department. and
which will be distributed in the South
western part of this country.
In the United States the date is an
, article of luxury. but in its native country
| it is q most important food. many regions
in Arabia and the Sahara being uninhab-
liable but for the date palm. The United
! States annually imports nearly a million
| dollars worth of dates, but it is possible
| the Department believes to raise ali the
dates needed i'll this country. The date
| palm, although grown profitably only in
arid and scmi-arid regions, is not. in the
! proper sense Of the word desert plant.
1t requires n fairly abundant. and above
all, constant supply of water mt the roots
and at the same time it delights in a per
| fectly dry and very hot climate. The date
| palm is able to stand much more cold
than an orange tree, but not so much as Il
peach tree.

PRICELESS TREASURES FOREVER LOST.
A missionary from Pekin has truthfully
said that practically all personal property
in that city has changed hands since the
allies entered its gates. The Imperial
family will find this to be the case and
will no doubt wonder what has become
of the things, conspicuous by their alb
sence, from the palace, the Altar of
Heaven, the Dowager Empress Winter
Palace outside the Forbidden City, the
Emperor's Summer Palace, the Thousand
Buddha Temple, the Mongol Luna Tenn
pie, within all these sacred premises they
will observe the reckless devastation.
When these rulers enter their private
joss house to worship their gilded Budd-
has. they will find that every bit of silk
cord and ivory motto. everything movable
gone, taken by the irresistible curio
hunter. They will also find that people less
innocent than these have taken the
heavenly pale blue vases, hundreds of
years old, besides CloiSenne pieces, worth
thousands of dollars each; in fact, they
will find the Imperial Palace very
thoroughly stripped of its belongings.
VIII they hold some of the eunuchs left
in charge of the Palace, and who simply

There is no substitute for Mr.. Greeley's
great work. 1t is a matchless story of
mighty events which covered period of
the Nations growth from the beginning
Of the Government to the close of the re-
belliOn. This work is so important a con-
tributi0n TO our literature that no library
can lay claim to being complete without
it. 1t is scarcely possible to be thorough
ly acquainted with the up-growing of the
American Nation out of a collection of
struggling colonies until finally cemented
into one homogeneous union by the civil
war without reading this book. Our edi-
ton of this great work is exactly iden-
teal in matter, size of page and type and
illustrations with the original. There has
been 10 abridgement or curtailment of a
single line anywhere, but in addition to
the original work we have added a brief
sketch of the life Of Horace Greeley.
We have the sole right to publish an
edition of The American Conflict at n
price which brings it within the reach of
many who hesitated to buy n set of books
the cost of which varied, according to the
binding, from 50 to $13.
All who are interested in political at
fairs, or i'll the study of the great ques-
tions which for more than 30 years di-
vided the country practically in two, and

periences of a cavalryman than there is
to be found in this story. The reader
of these pages will go with the author
into his life and see how the boy was
transformed into a soldier; will march
with him over mountains and across riv-
ers; will camp on the hillside and stand
guard in the moonlight and in the rain
storm; will be with him as a videt in the
lonely forest, and again in the wild charge.
The humorous, the pathetic, the pre-,
posterous, the eXtravagant phases of war
are all told with the pen of master.
Finally comes grim battle, the defeat, the
surrender, the travelling through the South
as a prisoner of war; the experiences in
Richmond prisons and at ghastly Belle
Isle; then comes the climax in the prison
stockade at Andersonville itself, with its
10000 men, its poverty, its starvation, its
death. All these things are told with the
dramatic power of truth, and they are

foreign devils" responsible, and have
them beheaded? Will the merchant class
of Chinese who worked with the loot spec
ulatOrs have to pay the penalty with their
lives?
Many of their subjects who were for
merly wealthy they will find reduced to
poverty, their property having been looted
by foreigners and Chinese alike, and sold
and H-sOld, much of it having been
shipped out of the country. They will
find at least four of the palaces of the I'm
perial Princes had been entered by as
many foreign missionary societies, and
were transformed into schools and Sun
day-schOOls for the native Christians
Three Of these were occupied by American
Protestant missionary societies. But these
premises resemblcd bazaars trading in
Chinese goods more than they did mis-
Sions.
1t, of course, win do no good even if
the Court has the following facts called
to its attention. If the Chinese Govern
ment has been wrOnged it has no redress
it will simply have to submit without the
least protest. But this does not altar the
fact, as the North China Daily News says,
that five classes of actions by the allies
after the siege in Pekin were unjustifable
according to the rules adopted at The
Hague Conference. 1t enumerates them
as follows:
First, the atrocities permitted by the
Russian troops.
Second, the punitive expeditions organ
lied by various powers.
Third, the armed support given to ad-
just the claims of Catholic Christians by
the French authorities, or, at all events,
by French troops.
Fourth, the looting of the Peliin OBJ
servatory.
Fifth, the charity from loot practiced
by some Protestant and British mission
aries.

The number of foreign troops of all ma
tions sent to Pekin approached 100000

Their experiences form those of the raw

! with q succession of coInical blunders,
/ brilliant achievements and stirring adven-
lures which make up the panorama of Il
soldiers daily life.
Many other characters are introduced
Among them may be mentioned little Pete
S6idmore, the Jew Spy, and Deacon
Illegg, Sis pap who visits the army to
see the boys, and fails into many trying
places, from all of which however, the old
