In China the BARRIERS calling is sup

ton unnecessarily tedious; he has the
advantage of knowing that he repre-

of work. Then his perquisite, the
combings, makes up for natural def
ciencies. He can sell at clear profit tails

Chinaman's is more expensive than
any that has not the power to wag with

convenience in work it is fastened up in
coil, but for a man to speak to his

insult. No Christian would enter

A Decoration with a Moral

A story illustrative Of an unfortunate
error of Judgment is told at the ex-
pense of the late Baron Nordenskjold.
When he was ON his way home from
the Siberian coast, he received tele-
gram from the Russian government,
asking him if he would accept a deco
ration from the Car in recognition Of
his services to the country.
Now the baron was a member of the
anti-decoration society. which pledged
its supporters to receive no decora-
tons from anybody; and he wrestled
long and faithfully with himself be-
fore finally he yielded to the fempta-
ton, and telegraphed back that he
would gladly accept the honor. =
How great, then, was his chagrin
when, on reaching home. friend told
him that the Gar was fully aware OF
his antipathy to honors of the nature
of decorations, and had put aside the
sum cf three hundred thousand rubles-
TO be given TO him in case of his re
fusal of the offer.
Russia added the friend, blandly.
sis certainly grateful to you for your
failure to live up to your pledge"
A man does not lose three hundred
thousand rubles every time he breaks
a pledge. but the moral is a good one
for all that.

Ills BRIDE AS SECURITY.
Peculiar Bond Given by a CoIored
KeufucIfiau

Peculiar Bond Given by a CoIored
kentuclSian.
Il saw a somewhat unusual bond not
long ago." remarked the travelling sales
man whose field extends into the noun
tain region of Kentucky, land story
goes with it. Down in Hazel Green,
Ky, one of the so-called mountain
towns, lives a colored man named
William Williams. Colored people in
the mountains count for something
more than they do in the blue grass,
and this man was well thought of.
Therefore when he was arrested for
passing a raised bill his story was list
ened to and there were some white
friends who were willing to go on his
bond for his appearance before the
grand jury. Williams had no property,
but he had a sweetheart, and she came
to his rescue when he got into trouble,
not with cash and realty, but with her
self, and offered to marry him then and
there. 1t was hardly an suspicious mo-
ment for marrying a man, but women
are the same, despite color or previous
condition, and this one didn't balk a
minute, but was made the prisoners
wife by minister who was called in
for the emergency.
''Of course, marriage under the cir
cGmstance did not add much to the
mans negotiable possessions, but it
was somewhat of an anchor to wind
ward. and when his bondsmen appear
ed they had consulted together and
they presented a bond which he signed
very readily, his bride consenting with
out a word. have a copy of the bond
which reads as follows We, and each
of us, bind ourselves indebted to II. f.
Pieratt, deputy sheriff, for the appear
ance of William Williams. of color, at
Pieratt's store in Hazel Green, Ky, at
o'clock a. m, Sept. 20, 1901, and
Williams hereby agrees. in the event he
should leave, to deliver to his bonds
men, John Ward and DR.. A. C. Nickel,
his newly married wife without the
sound of a hammer. Signed. William
Williams, John Ward, A. c. Nickell'
II have seen a good many bonds OF
one kind and. another" concluded the
salesman, according to the Detroit Free
Press, but this one is the queerest of
them all, and If that colored man fails,
now or hereafter, to thoroughly appre-
ciate his wife's devotion, he ought to be
lvnched"

A Wonderful Cure.

Wright City, Mo-. Dec. 30.-Medical
men are still wondering over the
Symes case which has aroused such
widespread interest in this neighbor-
hood.
Mr.. Joseph G. Symes had suffered
very severely with Infiammatory Rheu-
matism, enduring pains which were
something terrible and which made Il
altogether impossible for him to work
by day or rest or sleep at night. In
spite n all treatments he grew worse
and his case seemed to defy all the
usual remedies.

larger school buildings Required

Larger School Buildings Required.
Owing to the recent large influx OF
population into Western Canada it has
become absolutely necessary in many
parts of Manitoba. Assiniboia, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta to increase the
school accommodation. In many places
buildings have been erected that are
only half occupied. This is perhaps as
good evidence as will be found not only
of their satisfaction with their present
school system and their confidence that
1t will remain as it is. but also of their
firm belief in the future expansion of
the country, in increased immigration,
and 1t further indicates that they have
little fear that the well-establiShed
rate of births in civilized communities
will not be maintained there.
The free homestead laws and the
cheap railway lands offer great induce
ments. which are opening up the new
settlements. Agents of the government
of Canada are actively at work in diff
ferent portions of the States for the
purpose of giving information TO posi-
BILE settlers, and advertisements are
now appearing In a large number of pa
peGs. giving the names and locations
of these agents.

As the heather smote us we did not for
get that we were Christians.
That is to say, we turned the other
cheek.

cheek is all that we can afford to pay

Now that was an exhibition of worldly
wisdom which we found quite as discon-
certing rs it was unexpected.
Indeed, it necessitated entirely new
plans upon our part.-Detroit Journal
