WAS Ii HUNG CHANG INDIAN?

The Remarkable Story of a Mohawk
Indian Recently Told in a London
Paper.
There is a remarkable story current
among the Chinese with regard to Ii
Hung Chang's ancestry. According to
this legend it was during the days Of
sailing communication between Amer
lea and the Celestial kingdom that
Chinaman landed in Western America.
He was known as All Ii and claimed
lineal descent from a celebrated Chi
nese writer, who fiourished about a
thousand years before Christ, named
Lii Ling. All Ii got among an unknown
tribe of Indians in the west He be-
came a member of the tribe and was
identified with them for many years,
taking part in many of their hunting
expeditions, In fact, All Lii so distin-
guished himself in the chase that the
tribe raised no objections when he Of
fered to wed a maiden of the tribe.
The young people We're united and,
following the tribal CUSTOM lived in
separate wigwam. There was an alb
sence of feasting. The European idea
of wedding feasts was as yet unknown
to the Indians In a subsequent hunt
ing expedition All Lii was one Of the
party. During his absence the expected
happened-it was boy. A great
feast of honor was prepared for the
fathers return, 1t must be understood
that All Ii spoke the language of his
wifes people At the great feast he
told the people about the great country
across the salt waters which he would
like to take his wife and child to see.
The little boy grew to be favorite in
the camp to the day his parents left the
tribe for China. The wife died in Chi
ma.
The son visited his Indian relations
once. He became very useful man,
and took beading part in Chinese
public affairs. The Chinese contention
is that this half-breed is Ii Hung
Changes grandfather. There are many
plausible incidents in support of this
curious family history. In Chinese lit
erature the matter is said to be histir-

THE TEXAS RANGER.

What is the Texas ranger? We all

by mention of his name are likely to-
be as various as the listeners. BY
many he is regarded as a sort of legal-8
lied vigilance, ruling through the right
evolved of necessity in therealm o.
where the six-shooter lis the only ar

by miles instead of blocks. Al still
more general impression is that he is 3

For years these riders of the plains
and sand wastes represented the only
personifcation of the law that was
either respected or feared. The string
of mounted ranger scouts thatdaily pa Ii
trolled the ground between these two
rivers was the only thread that bound
western Texas to more formal civfli- I
cation. Even to-day it is the ranger
whose presence means security to life
all along the border-Leslie's Monthly.

who once tried the socialist leader,
Wilhelm Liebkneoht. for "lese MAJ

in court, and the Judge found that the
words in themselves were not insulting
to the kaiser, but there was a danger
that those who heard Liebknecht USE
the words might have thought that an
insult was intended On this ground,
therefore, the judge found Iiebknecht
guilty and sentenced him to six months
imprisonment.-Ger Corresponds

hone of success unless they take pos

twice responsible for the defeat of

is low estimate to say that Is per

ing themselves commercial men, for
sOoth, should not be able SO much as
to see this plainest of all facts that
any given sum of money will be as
serviceable to commerce in the pocket
Of the seller Of the goods, as the buy
er; and that nobody gains one farthing
by credit in the long run. 1t is pre-
cisely as great loss to commerce that
every seller has to wait six months
for his money, as it is a gain to COM
merce that every buyer should keep
his money six months in his pocket.
In reality there is neither gain nor loss
except by roguery, when the gain is
all to the rogue, and the loss to the
true men. In all wise commerce, pay
ment, large or small, should be over

feat him, and, when Fleming and the
Sentinel discovered the trick Tom Tag
CART had played them, they danced
around his collar in lively style.
1t will not be forgotten that the So
called proprietor of the Sentinel was
the recipient of favor from Cleveland,
and was never running over with en-
thusiasm for the Chicago platform. 1t
required some time for it to get very
much energy into it's pages.
Of course, as between Bryan and
: Cleveland, the Sentinel is for Cleye-
land. 1t is not question rbout
whether Bryan or Cleveland caused
the defeat of 1896. 1t is a question in
this state, however, how much OF the
responsibility for that defeat rests
upon Mr.. Cleveland's friends, among
the number of which is the Indianap-
oils Sentinel. Ever since 1885, the
Sentinel has been active in it's efforts
to make it pleasant for democrats, who
opposed the Chicago platform, and
quite as active in making it unpleaS-
ant for those in or out of the party,
who had been in any degree conspic-
uous supporters of that platform. 1t
is very strange, indeed, if the Scnti-
mel really desired the success of the
party in 1900, that neither it nor its
particular friends, nor the state COM
mittee, had any hospitality to offer to
those who desired to assist the party

the publication in serial form of Capt.
w. H. Ashby's work on political econ

er." This will be published in in
stallments of about two columns a
week, beginning January /, 1903, un-

Captain Ashby has for years been a
student of political economy, and for
a long time accepted without ques-

tails of the science. But as his inves-

confronted with obstacles that were
insurmountable and which necessi-

a retracing of his steps and search for
