lie Swung the Lantern.

A Southern senator was at one
time counsel for a small railroad.
At a point on the line where it
crossed prominent highway, they
had an old negro watchman, whose
duties consisted in warning travel
ers of the approach of trains. One
night a farmers wagon was
struck, causing n bad accident.
The railroad company was Of
course sued for damages, and at
the trial the old darky was
the chief witness for his EN-
plOyers. He answered the ques-
tiOns put to him in clear, direct
manner. Among them was the
query as to whether he surely
swung his lantern across the road
when he saw the train coming, to
which he replied:
Deed ] did, sah."
The railroad company won the
suit, and took the occasion later to
compliment the witness on his ex-
cellent testimony. The old fellow
was profuse in his thanks, but he
fore they parted bluntly said:

Good One on Dockery.

This story is being told on Gov.
Dockery: A few days ago he start
ed to walk from the executive
mansion to "a hotel in jefferson
City. On the way he passed two
lemonade stands which had been
started up by youthful residents
of the capital. He paused to OBJ
serve them particularly and the
boys both began vehemently to
solicit his trade. One informed
him that his lemonade was worth
5 cents glass, and the other that
his was only 3 cents. The COVER
nor, thinking to give them an OBJ
ject lesson in both business and
politics, bought a glass of 3-cent
decoctiOn. After winking, wiping
his whiskers, he made a few re-
marks about the advantages of
competition, and then asked:
Wow, Johnny, why is it that you
charge 5 cents for your lemonade,
while Tommy charges only 81"
Tommy did not wait for Johnny
to reply, but answered in a piping
voice: well you see, Mr.. Dock
cry, the pup fell in mine"

THE CHINESE WAY.
Some Observations by q
MlssOurlan In
China.


pie of Missouri, blessed as l hear
they are with bountiful crops, could
hardly imagine the extremities to
which the natives of this district
60 in econOmizing," writes Baptist
missionary w. H. Sears, of Pintu,
China, in a letter to a friend here.
"Our neighbor on the west.
gentleman l had known for years,
died the other day, was duly placed
in his coffin and all the exercises
attending an ordinary funeral took
place. except one-there was no
burial. The coffin containing the
dead man was snugly tucked away
in one corner of a room, and there
it will remain until his wife dies,
and then a grave will be dug for
the two.
1.-THE members of the household
told me in a very matter Of fact
way, the reason for this curious
arrangement was that it would be
as cheap to dig a grave for two at
one time as one, and the expense
of digging an extra grave was saw
ed. The uncanniness of keeping a
corpse around the house for an in
definite period did not appeal to
them.
Chinese economy is too much,
even for the buzzards. Once l ran
across some men skinning donkey
for food. l asked them if the ami
NAL had been killed. One answer
ed: No; do you suppose we'd
kill a donkey for foodi' They
wait till it dies, after it has worked
it's days, ,and even in it's death they
save something. But for what
purpose!
"They will eat pretty near every
thing they can get their teeth into,
without bothering themselves about
a post-mortem on the cause of
death, but if you want to make a
Chinaman in this section mad ac-
cuse him of eating rats! He draws
the line there, possibly because
he's heard his countrymen so much
derided for indulging in them as a
diet.
VA piece of mud on the inedible
end of a turnip is used as a candle
stick. There are no fences; it
would be regarded as a sinful waste
of space and material.
"The man who wrote Economy
is the road to wealth ought to be
transported to China. Frugal as
he may have been, yet he would
fiud there was something for him
to learn"
Mr.. Sears and his family have
lived in China eleven years. They
were run out during the Boxer dis
turbances but returned as soon as
peace was restored. Their inten-
ton is to make their permanent
home in the land of their adoption.
They are Missourians and have
many relatives in this section of
the state.
