just after he passed the south en-
trance to the grandstand he struck
his knee and was thrown off his stride.
The anxious watchers held their
breath for fear the horse would not
be able to catch himself. But two
hops and he was going again like the
wind. He came under the wire going
steadily, re crowned the king and
carrying with him a new worlds rec

AVOID GREAT HONOR.

Bodyguard from Attending

Avoiding a great honor, a Minneap
oils missionary and his fancee re-
Gently were compelled to prevent the
attendance Of Gen. Ma at their we'd
ding in Tung Che. China. Rev. ]. s.
Sheriff. was the groom to be. while
the bride-elect was Miss Elizabeth
Sheffield. The incident throws a new
light on the relations existing be-
tween the missionaries and the Chi
nese officials.
II Is the custom in China to regard
visit made without invitation, espe-
cially at some social festivity, as a
greater honor than the attendance of
Invited guests; to come unsolicited Ia
social concession. The brides moth.
err said the problem that kept her
awake nights was trying to prevent
being overwhelmed by their Chinese
friends.
"Hobnobbing with royalty" she
wrote, has its terrors." BY explain.
ing their position to some of their ma.
tive friends they succeeded n divert.
Ing the horde most to be expected.
Gen, Ma, however. learned of the
wedding and sent his interpreter to
say he was coming to give his con.
sratulations. As the general is com.
mander of the Chinese army. he would
bring 100 soldiers and his bodyguard.
This step was averted only by DR..
Sheffleld's earnest protestations Of
his unworthiness to receive such an
honor, and by the diplomatic aid Of
the interpreter, who understood some
thing Of foreign customs The gen,
eral contented himself by sending
the interpreter with two rolls of white
silk, two fans. two embroidered hand.
kerchiefs. and two bottles Of per.
fumery
The next honor was even more ter.
rifsing and troublesome. A Chinese
duchess, who is niece of the empress
informed the ruler of the coming we'd
ding plans. The dowager empress
promptly sent the bride-elect four rolls
OF silk light blue, dark blue. pink and
olive green, In glass case; two boxes
Of perfume bags. a box OF five EN-.
broidered scarfs, toilet case Of red
lacquer; and what the Chinese con.
slider the browning feature Of all, a fan
painted by her majesty, a dainty flow.
er piece with verse Of poetry and
the imperial seal.
The empress requested the date of
the wedding. in order that she might
send some one to represent her. There
was nothing to do but to hope the
duchess would be chosen, for, as Mrs.
Sheriff. said:
"She has such common sense, and
knows how to make herself at home
with us. This proved to be the solu.
ton, and she sent us word a few DAYS
before the wedding that the dowager
empress had commanded her to at.
tend, so as to tell her all about IT,"
The bride had come to the notice of
the empress by acting as interpreter
FOR Mrs. Conger, wife of the United
States ambassador, at social functions.
During the siege Miss Sheffield helped,
TO care for the sick and wounded in
Picking. After the siege the house of
the duchess was occupied first by sol.
diers, afterwards assigned to some
missionaries, among them DR.. Shelf.
