Sneculation and Theft

Some statistician, in emulation Of
Lombroso, perhaps, has been figuring
out the habitual employment Of COLI
victs. He concludes that more men
and women whose employers are the
national, state or municipal govern
ments fall into evil ways and come to
untoward ends than those who work
for private individuals or corporations.
A very large proportion of the men and
women who have been handlers of
public moneys seem to yield to the con
slant temptation and begin to specu-
late, and some cynic avert that pecula-
ton is the corollory of speculation. AS
matter of fact, most of the big and
little thieves who confess how they
were led to take money that did not
late, and some cynic aver that pecula-
lions of one sort or another brought
them eventually behind the bars.

MULES ON sNowsHoEs.
The Plan by Which Mail was Carried
Through Big Snowdrirts.


1t is said that the late Jock Darling.
the most noted hunter and trapper
ever known in Maine, once brought a
young deer out of the deep SHOWS of
the woods by fitting snowshoes to It's
feet, and there have been instances OF
dogs wearing the moosehide. but not
until a recent day, SO far as the rec
ords SHOW, dla any one in this New
England state ever see a mule on
snowshoes. The snow that came last
week was only an ordinary fall but
the gale that succeeded it piled up big
drifts, shutting out many towns from
all communication with the outside
world. Bingham, in Somerset county,
had been without mail for week
when one evening, the mail carriar.
Henry Caswell, arrived from TIE
Forks with four sacks slung over Il
mules back The mule. Pete, is a
dlmlnutive animal, tough and strong,
but, going as mules generally go, ut
terly unable to wade through the high
ridges of snow between The Forks
and Bingham. So Csswell, after study
ing the situation a bit, decided to fit
snowshoes to Pete. The plan worked
all right AID the little mule, seeming
to appreciate the situation, allowed
the shoes to be fitted without cbjec-
ton. The shoes We're made of oak
frames, woven with stout moosehide.
about half the width worn by men and
without the usual long shank behind
Pete came along on his shoes as well
as Caswell on his, and the two were
welcomed with shouts of approval by
the people of Bingham The return
journey, twentyfour miles, was made
in the same way.

Hatred For For
eigners is Based
on Chinese Rea-

seemed to us, filled with the idea of
domination in one form or another.
and all of whom were working to
break down our national independence
and to substitute something different.
Against that yellow peril" we should
feel that almost any weapon was al
lowable. At any rate we should not
be deferred from rallying the nation
to supreme effort of resistance by
the fact that many atroc.ous crimes
had been committed on the Chinese
interlopers. No excuses, however
good, for their invasion or interfer-
ence would be allowed to weigh in
the balance against the instant dread
Of the conquering or dominating
Cinnamon. Again, however bad, ty-
rannous, corrupt and feeble we might
think our own government we should
resolve to stand by it till we had got
rid of the yellow peril" That peril
would only weld this nation together,
but if the danger were at our doors,
it would weld all Europe and make a
concert of the Christian powers such
as the world has hitherto never seen.
Now we do not mean for moment
to suggest that the Chinese are right
in thinking of the white men as they
do think of them, or to compare Chi
nese civilization with our own-if
their system is really as good as ours,
then Christianity has no meaning
but we do say that it is essential to
understand the Chinese point of view,
and the consequences that flow from
it. We conquered India comparative
ly easily because we were not op-
posed by this moral force in any Wig
orous shape. The various races of
India may not have like the intrud-
ing foreigner, but they had no horror
of him, no passionate fear that he
meant to uproot their own cherished
civilization, and 10 conviction that
their own social system was so pre-
cious that it was worth making enor-
nous sacrifices to save it. But the
Chinese have that feeling, and this
feeling makes them truly nation,
and gives them the power of resist
ance. That is the gist of Mr.. Aliens
testimony.-London Spectator.

A Pleasant Fad.

An attractive fashion among the
smart men of New York is the sending
of dainty hampers of fruit to their
masculine friends on feast days and
holidays. The wicker hampers are
very pretty and are filed most at
tractively with luscious fruits which
nestle amid the green leaves of soft
smilax and other foliage. In addition
to sending flowers to the friends who
are going to cross the briny Geap
Dame Fashion dispatches fruit. The
flowers fade. but the fruit will last
until the journey ends, and even in
sickness fruits can be eaten often
when nothing else can. So the lus-
cious product of Pomona is packed in
dainty baskets and sent to convey
sweet messages and kind wishes for
bon voyage.

Chicago has Business Women's
Loan Association which suggests the
Little Societies that have long -four
ished in Germany, although it is less
of a philanthropic enterprise and
more of a business proposition. The
German societies lend small amounts
of money 10 women desiring to go
into business for themselves, and rec
ords show that the losses OF the or
ganization have amounted to very
little. The Chicago association lends
money for the same uses, but requires
good security, and protects itself
against any heavy loss. The need Of
such an organization and its success
are an interesting commentary on the
eagerness with which women are in
vading the business world.-New
