CHINESE CHIEF BORNE TO
THE GRAVE in STATE

Never has Chinatown seen a more
imposing funeral procession than that
which followed to the grave Chew Qui
Yet, president of the Kong Chow asy-
lum. the Oldest and richest of the Six
Companies, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. Chew Qui Yet had been a
noted Canton Judge and was called to
San Francisco many months ago to
serve a two years term as head of
the powerful Kong Chow asylum. Be
side the body stood numbers of bril-
liantly clad dolls in the dress of man
darins and court ladies', which were
to be burned at the grave of the great
man, and thus accompany his spirit
into the other world that he might be
attended by such servants and friends
as befitted his station. The room was
filed with mourners in blue and white
robes mingling with the many visitors.
Outside in a court there was a glori-
Gus feast-whole roasted pigs that
might tempt the appetite of the most
spiritual ghost and cakes and other
material delicacies to be placed upon
the grave.
When the funeral procession started
from the house 1t was preceded by a
regulation American band. playing a

SELF CONFIDENCE is OFT
THE SECRET OF SUCCESS

Self-confidence Is the explanation of
all successful careers. 1t is a virtue
that should be carefully cultivated in
the young. for lack of self-trust may
amount to complete self-effacement in
the competitions OF life There was
something imposing In the excessive
self-reliance OF Napoleon. who de
clared IL there was no one to make
cannon and gunpowder he could make
them. 1t is l alone who have ar
ranged the finances. you know" This
was colossal egotism. II is true. but 1t
was the motive power that made Ma
poleon one of the most magnificent
military successes in history. 1t is
better to possess the quality of self
confidence in excess than not to pos
sess 1t at all. Montaigne among the
shrewdest of practical philosophers,
says, ITO speak less of himself than
he possesseth is folly and not mod
esty." Offense lies not in relying upon
ones self. but in speaking boastfully
of ones ability and exploits. A writer
observes that same offensive egotists
are of Indispensable Importance to the
carrying on OF American life. whom
we could i'll spare; any one OF them
would be a national loss. But it spoils
conversation. They are ever thrust
ing their pampered self between you
and them. Nature utilizes misers. fan
atics, egotists, to accomplish her ends.
but we must not think better of the
foible for that"
Self-confidence is. therefore. to be
carefully distinguished from self
praise, which. even in the greatest OF
men. is intolerable. A man should
believe in himself, but he should not

Parisans Mortified at American Girls
Indifference to Matrimony.
Elbow can married women be dis
tinguished from single ones in Amer
ica?"
This is the pointed question asked
by Hughes lie Roux, a well-known
French writer, who has been spending
some months in the United States.
The American girl has astounded and
shocked him. She wears such mag
nificent jewels, he declares, as are
only offered to a French woman on
her marriage. She gowns herself, too,
in the heavy velvets and silks only
known to women of forty in France.
But in the third and last proof of the
absence of the 'jeune file element in
the American girl which Mr.. lie Roux
cites is her indifference to marriage.
Very often she believes in having a
good time, he says, and refuses TO
consider the subject seriously at ALL

Still Another Case.

Franksville, Wis, Oct 12th.-Many
remarkable cures are being reported
from all over the country, but there
is one right here in Franksville which
is certainly worth publishing, and
which has not as yet been given to
the public.
Mrs. Louis Markison of this place
had been a sick woman for quite a
long time and could not find anything
to give her any help. She suffered all
the painful symptoms of what is gen
orally known as female weakness.
Every woman who reads her story
will understand these distressing con-
ditions which combine to make the
lives of many women one long burden
of weakness and suffering.
Mrs. Marlxison CHANGED one day to
hear of new remedy called Dodds
Kidney Pills, that was said to be
splendid medicine for women's weak
ness. She determined to try some
and soon found herself getting bet
ter. She kept on with the pills and
was cured. Speaking of her case,
Mrs. Markison says
II can and do praise Dodd's Kidney
Pills as remedy for female weakness.
