A Seasonable Short Story.

The most seasonable of many ex-
cellent short stories in the July Nc
Clure's (among which is an Emmy Lou
story and a Newfoundland story by
Norman Duncan, is Mary Stewart
Cuttings, ''In the Married Quarters"
No more feeling picture has ever been
drawn of the reverse side of the sum-
mer vacation-the side of the husband
who remains behind-not in the city
where there are roofgardens and res
taurants and electric fans, but in
mosquito infested suburb, where one
is left alone to battle with the moths
and the red ants; for in this case both
cook and second girl seem also to have
fled. The remarkable part of it is that
the story should have been written by
a woman, and the whole in spirit of
sympathy, not Of satire.
The sketch is another of Mrs. Cut
ting's 'Little Stories of Married Life"
which are coming to be among the
most welcome of the various note
worthy fiction series running in Nc
Clure's.

Search for Tribe of Chinese Jews.

A letter from Shanghi, China, to the
Philadelphia North American contains
the following remarkable information
relative to hidden band OF Chinese
Jews. The letter says:
Deep in the heart of an interior Chi
nese province is hidden a band of
Chinese Jews. Now that peace has
been restored throughout the Flowery
Kingdom, the Jewish colony of this
city intends opening communications
with its Mongolian co-religionists in
order to establish close relations.
In has been known for some time
that such tribe existed. Occasionally
travellers have brought from Kaifeng
Flu the news of a strange sect that did
not follow the religious teaching of
Buddha, Mohamet or CONTIGUOUS, but
worshipped according to the laws of
Moses. An attempt was made to reach
them some fifty years ago, but it was
thwarted by the Tai Ping rebellion.
Again within the last three years the
Boxer insurrection brought failure to a
similar effort.
Altogether there are said to be seven
clans in the colony, with male mem.
bership of probably 140. How they
came to China, and from which of the
original tribes they descend is prob
lem which Hebraic scholars will have to
decide.
Their present condition is deplorable
and their religious observances have
degenerated, but this is not surprising
in view oftheir complete isolation from
worshipers of their own faith. They
have no tribal leader, no synagogue
and no schools in which to educate
their children, but they have staunchly
resisted the influence of Buddhist and
Mohammedan neighbors, and venerate
above all things well stone on which
is engraved the names of Moses, Abra-
ham and Adam.
They have few traditional COM
mands that they remember and OBJ
serve. They never use heathen musical
instruments in marriage ceremonies.
They take out sinews before preparing
the meat for their food and are pro-
hibited to eat pork They did not
know until recently of the existence in
any part of the world of any Jews be-
sides themselves. Their first know.
ledge of their outside co-religionists
was when they received the message
which local Jews sent to them

NEXT MEETING WILL
LIKELY GO TO SPRINGFIELD

Springfield has decidedly the best
chances for getting the next encamp-
ment of the Illinois G.. A. r. This is
due not so much to the fact that the
capital offers the greatest attractions
and unquestionably the best facilities
of any city in the race but because
she is the only city which has entered
actively into the contest outside of
East St. Louis and there are many
good reasons why the veterans do not
want to go there next year. They
have taken into consideration the fact
that there is to he big fair in St.
Louis in 1904 and if they can stave
East st. Louis off long enough they
would like to combine the two attrac-
tions in one trip.
This is the light in which the mat
ter has been presented To the execu-
tive committee and it is believed that
they will accept the situation as it is
stated. East st. Louis is beautiful
little town. said Commander Thistle
wood this morning. ''It certainly de-
serves to have one of our conventions
very soon but 1 think it would be
very foolish to go there next year
when we could just as well go year
later and take advantage of the St.
Louis exposition at the same time.
We have talked the matter over care
fully and hope to make the East St.
Louis people look at the matter in the
same way that we do"

towns have entered into the race in a
limited way, but it is said that their
