the way it was put.
The summons came for Hi Swung to
appear in Canton and answer in per-
son the charges that had been made
against him in connection with Xvi
Chang affairs. To deny the allegations
on his arrival there meant discredit
for him. but XII Swung obeyed the
summons. Disgrace followed. and an
incarceration, which was to end in an
ignoble death, followed. The military
escort assigned to look after XII Swung
was lax in it's duty. and the escape of
the former mandarin was easily &C
complished.
XII Swung knew of the pirates of
Chang Ok. There were many junkS
controlled by the lieutenantS of this
pirate known in Chinese waters to for
eign warships. If he could escape to
one of them he might at least live for

his direction. He slid into the water,

closely on the sighting of a vessel of
foreign appearance. XII Swung took
but little part in the fight that soon
came. Armed with pike and cutlass,
the pirates swarmed over the side of
the merchant ship, and the fighting
was hand to hand. Almost as fast as
the bodies of the dead were thrown
overheard their places were taken by
live men. ~
Finally force of numbers brought
victory to the pirates. They took
charge of the captured ship, which
proved to be an American merchant
man. XII Swung, the novice. was placed
aboard the captured ship. along with
half dozen of the pirates, while the
junk prepared to tow the ship along. In
the evening a storm came UP and the
line parted. The pirates were swept

was the only person left alive on the
ship.

he remained on the vessel, neither does
he know the distance travelled The
vessel was picked up in the Pacific by
another American ship, and towed into
California port for salvage. XII
Swung came with the ship, and ever
since has been wandering around the
West, haunted by the fear that he will
be taken by the Russians, the Chinese
government or by the pirates, who, he
says. are seeking his life.

help. There has been a scarcity for
several years, the young men prefer
ring to- work in the mills in the city.
AS a result wages have advanced ma

thrown out for help.
AS high as $1.25 to $3.50 is paid for
an experienced fam hand. Many far

unable to secure any, The old custom
of serving whisky and lunch in the
fields, which had fallen into disuse, has
been revived in some districts.
AS a special inducement to secure
help, three meals are. served, and be-
tween meals a quantity of whisky and
an old fashioned lunch is supplied al
intervals. Some farmers have secured
help by this, bat many more laborers
are needed.

CERTAIN SECTS HAVE
LARGEST FAMILIES
Hebrews and Catholics outrank Mem
bers of Protestant Denomination.

NEW YORK, July 2T.-In the Fed
Grafton, the quarterly organ of the
Federation of Churches and Christian
Organizations in New York City, is
given the result of an investigation
into race suicide by the executive sec
rotary, Dr. Walter Laidlaw, who says:
THAT religion may have directly to
do with the question of race suicide
has been illustrated by the sociological
studies of the federation. The material
collected on both the East and West
sides of Manhattan and in various
wards of Brooklyn during the past
seven years, and the exceptional equip
ment for handling it, have made II
possible to prepare careful study OF
the subject.
'The average number of children in
the Protestant families is 1.S5, in the
Roman Catholic 2.03, and in the He
brew 254 children. Only 1876 per cent
of The Hebrews are without children,
whereas 28.3 per cent of the Protest.
ants are without children. It should
be noticed that six times as many He
brew families have nine children as
have the Protestant families; and that
for every Protestant family with eight
children there are prOportlonateIy Iour
Hebrew, and twice as many with seven
children. At the other end of the table.
it appears that the proportion Of Pro-
testant families with but one or two
children is larger than that of the He
brew families with one or two children.
Among the Protestant communions
there are several whose average OF
children is higher than the Roman
Catholic average. notably the Episce-
palian and Presbyterian, but, except
ing the Free Methodists, there is not
single Protestant communion in. which
the average is as high as the Hebrew"

Title Should Be Easily Settled.

The announcement that the United
States claim sovereignty over certain
islands off the coast of Borneo is likely
to result in a case for international ar
bitration. These islands are of i'm
portant strategic value, and will hardly
be relinquished by Great Britain with
out some resistance. We claim the ISL
ands through our acquisition of SPANS
rights in these waters. The claim of
the British Borneo company is based
on a treaty made in 1878 with the sui
tan of Zulu, before his capitulation to
Spain. The point to be decided is
whether Spain had good title to the
islands antedating the sultan's cession
of them. If she did, the sultan could
not cede them; if she did not, she could
not convey to us what she did not
have.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

WILL BUILD PALACE
OF WATERMELONS
Indiana Town Has Ambitious Scheme
for Its Coming Carnival.

VINCENNES, Ind, July 27.-One of
the chief events that will occur III
Knox county this summer will be the
watermelon carnival that will be held
in Oaktown some time next month Ac-
cording to the arrangements the affair
will be on a gorgeous scale, and will
be a novelty. 1t is planned to build
palace of watermelons, and to arrange
the melons in many different styles of
architecture. AS Oaktown is in the
heart of the melon district, it is be
lieved the carnival will be most in
teresting sight.
The crop this year will be the largest
ever known, judging by present condi-
tions. More than 1000 acres above last
years acreage have been planted. ana
preparations are making to handle nun
dreds of cars. Last year entire melon
trains left from Oaktown and nun
dreds of melons were wasted because
the railroad company was unable to
supply the demand for cars. There
was no bank in Oaktown last year. but
one was established last winter for the
purpose of assisting the shippers In
their business transactions
