sell to curious white persons who visit
Chinatown. In the vicinity of every
large city where there is any consid-

gardens devoted to raising vegetables
exclusively for Cinnamon from seed
brought from their native land. These
vegetables are unknown to Americans.
But the Chinese also consume large

Aged Woman Burned To Death.

Mrs. Mary Jacobsen, mother of Post
master w. D. Jacobsen Of Lyons, met
with frightful accident which resulted
in her death. She had been alone at
home, and some time during the evening,
1t is presumed, after having retired for
the night, arose to light lamp. In some
manner her dress caught fire, and the UNI
fortunate woman was burned to death.
Some time later her son arrived, and on
entering, noticed that there was smoke
in the house. Hastily entering his moth
er's apartment he saw the remains of his
mother on the floor. and the fire still
burning on the carpet.

There is no lack of modesty on the

The Cloud Over Great Britain.

The Cloud Over Great Britain.
There would be little cause for sur
prise if at any moment Great Britain
should find herself confronting the
menace of conflict with one of the
great powers. She is not prepared for
such conflict. Her condition, revealed
by her inability to whip 10000 Beers
with 100000 English soldiers, tempts
her enemies to attack her. A hostile
movement against England, with her
sin against the Beers as the avowed
provocation, would look nightly like
retribution in the eyes of other peo-
pies. Every days prolonging Of the
war in South Africa is dangerous to
the British.-St. Louis Republic.

right than to rely on getting them by
way of the thieving subsidy route. Mr..
Hanna and his comrades in treasury
raiding, besides being patriots, are de-
voted friends of American labor. 1t is,
they tell us, largely because they want
to maintain the standard of sailors
wages at high figure that they desire
to enrich their ship-owning friends.
Yet when Senator Patterson offered an
amendment providing that no ships
which employ Chinese crews-as is the
custom on the Pacitic-shall receive any
bounty under the subsidy bill. Mr..
Hanna and the other Republican
friends of American labor promptly
voted to reject the amendment.
The ship subsidy bill is an open

pick the pockets of the American peo-
pie in the interest of the millionaires of

Hannn & co.-patriots.


The ship subsidy bill which passed
the Senate is purely patriotic measure
we have the word of Mr.. Hanna for
that. When it is objected that sall the
people of the United States should not
be taxed out of millions Of dollars for
the benefit Of few rich men engaged
In private business, Mr.. Hanna's patri-
otto answer is that the ships whose
owners are presented with large bags
of public money can be converted into
auxiliary cruisers in time of war.
These ship owners are also patriots
like Mr.. Hanna. When their imperiled
country shall need their bounty-plated
vessels for naval purposes they will be
more than willing to let their imperiled
country have them. They have proved
that. The st. Paul, the st. Louis, the
NV York and the Paris of the Ameri-

WEST INDIAN FOOTWEAR.
Characteristics of the Shoes Worn IN
Spanish-American Countries.

The slowly growing army of tourists
which goes to Cuba and Porto Rico al
ways notices the graceful footwear of the
Spanish-American islanders. 1t is. like
that of Madrid, modified to suit the eli
mate and conditions of the Antilles
Spanish feet are proverbially small, with
the high instep and slender ankle so
priced by artists. The shoes necessarily
partake of the same characteristics, and
would attract attention anywhere. The
most striking style to the visitor from the
United States are the morning slippers
worn by youthful belle and staid matron
alike. One common kind is Il mere san
dial, consisting of a sole and single band
across the lower inStep. The sole may
be of fancy leather felt, Irvine or woven
hemp. Some are made of waterprOofed
cloth slightly stiffened and reinforced in
the hollow by a steel spring or piece of
leather. The band should, however, be
of silk or velvet, of some rich color,
bright or dark, which throws the foot
out in bold relief. The slight pressure
which it eXertS upon the foot tends to
force the blood into the surface and
makes each little toe delicate pink coral
hue.
Another sandal has "A sole and an upper
which covers the forward half of the
foot, only the heel being left bare. Ac-
cording to the natives, this is worn by
women who have distorted or deformed
their feet by wearing tight boots. In
these sandals the upper may be of silk
or satin for the wealthy, or of wood. cot
ton or linen for the poorer classes. The
cOmmenest pattern is of fine check in
polychrome, and next to that a series of
brilliant stripes like a Roman scarf The
ultra fashionable have this piece en-
broidered in silk floss and silver and gold
thread and jeweled with seed pearls or
chips of precious stones. Shoes of this
class seem to be a survival of the old
Spanish woman's stirrup, which was
made in the same shape. decorated and
ieweed in similar fashion, and differing
from the house slipper in being made
stronger and provided with a steel or sill
yer frame.-New York Evening Post.

OLDEST WORKING LOCOMOTIVE.
An Engine Built by Stephenson in 1924
Still in Use.

One of the original locomotives, writes
a correspondent to the London Railway
News, built by George Stephenson in
1922 for the opening of the line of the
ylhsetton colliery, near Durham, England,
between their works, few miles north
west of Durham, and the shipping
staithes on the Wear at Sunderland, is
still employed hauling the trucks at Het-
ton, and is now, after eighty years con-
tinu0us service, claimed to be the ''Oldest
working locomotive in the world" The
principal dimensions of this ''Od-timer''
are: Diameter of the cylinders, 1034
inches; piston stroke, "a inches; diameter
of the wheels, 3 feet. The weight of the
engine is 10 tons. and it has haulage
capacity Of about 129 tons at speed
of 10 miles an hour on a fairly level
track. Its general design excepting the
cab remains as originally constructed,
while some parts, notably the steam
dome, are actually portions of the engine
as constructed in 1922. After this long
and faithful service, it is not surprising to
learn that the engine is at last becoming
unequal to the ever-increasing demands
made upon it, and the directors of the
