The Associated Charities seems to be
doing a good work in this city and many
of the people make donations 10 this
charitable organization and when they
are appealed TO for help they refer the
applicants to the organization. This pre-
vents many charitably inclined persons
being imposed on. Mrs. Couch, who is
at the head OF the organization, called
on seventeen families last week TO ascer-
tain the tru condition OF people asking for
aid.
Thirty-eight garments were given out
last week. a good deal OF help is given
10 poor children, and some Of the people
who donate TO this organization would
feel repaid for their donations if they
could see the happiness Of some of the lit
tie tots who are given clothes ft to wear
10 sunday school. The Goldstandt-Pov7eL
Hat company donated large number Of
straw hats for boys, and Hrs Jack
Shields and Mrs. s. j. B1entz gave mil

MODERN ROBINSON cRUsoE.
Quaker City Man Of .aany Adven-
lures,

Right here In the city, said the
Philadelphia North American, there
is a RoDinson Crusoe, not flctional
but Crusoe in flesh and blood. He
was baptized Robinson Crusoe, not
fctional, but a Crusoe In name.
His career has been quite as ad
venturous as the old Robinson Crusoe
Twice he has been shipwrecked,
twice he has gone overheard in mid
ocean, only to be rescued in marvellous
ways. For 25 years he has followed
the sea. And he has outdone the
other Robinson Crusoe In that he has
played a uuai role. He Is his own
man Friday. His cheek Is as ebony
as was the cheek Of lie. subordinate

Robinson Crusoe was seen yester-
day at 1928 st. James street by a
North American reporter. He is
about 35 years old Crusoe was born
In Hampton, Va, and for more than
25 years has been a sailor. There Is
hardly a port In the world which he
has not visited. He has braved a
thousand storms and sailed in more
than 800 schooners and ships. In
1881 the schooner Seweil Brown
smashed on the rocks on the coast OF
ireland, near Waterford. The crew
was small. and they managed to save
themselves on hastily constructed
raft. Crusoe was one OF the crew
only few years ago ship with
Crusoe and 20 other sailors went to
the bottom on the American Atlantic
coast near Charleston. Cool luck
was with Crusoe again. and he was
one Of only four men to be saved

THE CHINESE SOiREE.
How to Drink Tea in the Land Of the
Pagoda.

When you call on Chinaman who
is able to have a servant. the first
thing that the servant does is to
bring in two cups OF tea He puts one
in front OF the master and one in front
or the visitor. Then the master in
dicates that you shall drink from the
cup before you. II you want to incur
his everlasting enmity go ahead and
drink He merely asks you TO drink
it for politeness' sake. He does not
want you to do II and expects you to
refuse for politeness' sake. Letting
the tea stand in front of you, you
proceed with your interview, and you
are at liberty re continue It, and you
may feel that you are welcome until
the host picks up his cup and takes a
sip. That is the polite way he has Of
telling you that the interview ts
ended. The polite thing for you to DO
then is to take one sip Of your tea and
depart. The right TO drink the fir u
sip OF tea. however, goes with rank.
If the visitor outranks the host, no
matter how much the host may wish
TO be rid OF him-he must sit until the
visitor chooses to take sip of his
tea-New York Sun.

Sermon.
At the recent wedding in London OF
MAJ. Gen. r. Pole-Carew, who won

nave was lined with non-commission
ed officers and men OF the Coldstream
guards, In which regiment the bride
groom formerly commanded bat
talon.
THE Rev. Canon Fleming" says
the London Standard In its account OF
the wedding, addressed the bride and
bridegroom as follows:
Beatrice and Reginald, with
mutual pledges and trusting hearts
you have today entered on the most
solemn and sacred compact that can
bind man and woman together for
marriage Is the very sacrament OF
love. it Is often said that marriage Is
lottery, but II 1t Is founded, as
believe In your case. on true affection
there is no lottery in 1t. Two hearts
that have hitherto dwelt apart are
today made one, two lives that have
hitherto been divided run today, like
quicksilver, into one. In Joy and sor-
row, from this hour, there are two to
share or divide it. Beatrice, remem.
Der you are the wife, or, as the word
implies, the woof of the home.
weaving the threads Of love out OF
your own gentle heart, to environ him
against the cold winds of life. This
Is a rough world outside. Let your
husband return from it to be always
greeted with the sunshine of unfailing
gentleness, for gentleness Is the
loveliest robe you will ever wear. If
| venture to speak thus to you, 1t is
because have known you SO long, be-
cause speak to you as an old friend.
because believe you have formed the
highest ideal of the new relation into
which you enter today, and will seek
help from God to fulfill It, And for
you (the bridegroom, to whose
sheltering care she is henceforth in
trusted, who can doubt for moment
but that soldier, SO distinguished for
his fidelity to his late queen, and nov
to his king, SO foremost in devotion 20
his country, will cherish the young
life you take to your heart today, as a
flower given by God into your tender
care, shielding her from every rude
breath and guarding her always with
pure and manly love. Duty is the
watchwOrd of the brave soldier, and
the same traits of character which
have always found you where danger
was to be met or duty was to be done,
will hold you ever faithful and true to
her, as her Irish heart will ever beat
faithful and true to you. And may
this suspicious day be crowned by
Heaven with lifelong happiness and
blessing"

Ground Cracks About Butte.

BUTTE, Mont, June 2. - The
strange sliding movement of the
city of Butte, which has been no.
ticeable at intervals for several
years, and has again manifested it.
self by five large cracks in the
earth in different sections of the
city. The largest crevice occurred
on West Galena street, where o
crack twelve inches wide and of
considerable length and depth has
appeared. Three of the openings
occurred on the west side of the
town and two on the east side.
There is no caving, but distinct
parting of the earth and the gran.
lite walls can easily be seen in
them. The gas and water com
panies have much trouble on ac-
count of the strange movement,
which frequently breaks their un-
derground pipes. City Engineer
says the engineering
department of the city encounters
the same trouble, as elevations and
bench marks in certain sections of
the city are constantly changing.
This is particularly true of the
section west of Main Street and
north of Broadway, where the
marks have been known to shift
10 the extent of a foot in a very
short space of time. The contin-
uance of the strange phenomenon is
beginning to cause some alarm

The Largest Strawberri es.

The strawberry plantation at the
University fruit farm includes
many varieties offered to the trade
for the first time in 1900. The be-
havior of these candidates for pub
lie favor illustrates anew two
things: The strawberry varies
greatly in different soils, and the
expectations aroused by the bril-
liant descriptions in the catalogues
are not often realized. The cata-
logue writer deals only with super
latives. The originator, to satisfy
him, grows his new variety under
most favorable soil and moisture
The buyer frequently
cts the plants in much poorer soil
and they may encounter drouths,
and the crop may thus be a dis
appointment.
The plants at the Station were
set in sandy clay land, cleared Of
a mixed forest growth a few
before. The strawberries
were thus the first crop from the
land.
Among the largest varieties, are
Sampson, Emperor, Empress,
Morgan, Nick OImer, Woolverton
md Pride Of Cumberland. Of
those best yieIders are Pride of
Cumberland, Nick Olmer, Samp-
