CHINESE VS. CITIZENS.

The report in another column that
the IISN Co. hsd discharged it's
citizen employees on the steamer
Mauns Loa and installed Chinese in
their stead seems absolutely incred-
ible. The Inter Islsud Company is
an out and out Republican concern
and one of the houses that last year
pledged itself to citizen labor on it's
steamers in return for Republican
votes. Now. 80 soon after, it breaks
its pis-orust promise and turns ten
admittedly competent citizen work
men into the streets and replaces
them with Cinnamon.

INDIAN VOW MAKER.
He Had Things AlH His own Way I'm
til the White Man Began Max
ing Vows, Too.

Many anecdotes show that Indians
have not been wanting in calculation
and cunning in their dealings with
white people. Indeed, the paleface,
although superior in Intelligence and
education, is often obliged to look very
sharp in order not to become the dupe
of the crafty red man. In THE Des-
erts of North America" this anecdote
is related:
An Indian, after hearing preacher
speak from the text: ''Make vows to
Heaven and keep them,' went up to
the preacher after the sermon anG
said:
81 have made "a VOW to go to your
house.
The minister was a little surprised,
but he smiled aud said: ''Wel, keep
your vow.''
On arriving al the house the Indian
seated himself, and after time re-
marked: Il have made a vow to sup
with you" This was also granted, but
when, after supper, the Indian an
nounced: II have made a vow to sleep
in your house." the minister began to
fear that there would be no end to
the vows of his attentive auditor.
THAT is easy to do, and you should
keep your vow," he said. Il will give
YOU a bed. But" he added, Il have
made VOW that you shall leave to-
morrow morning."
The Indian nodded. "Goodi' he said.
ssYou make nv vows come true: So
make your VOW come true" And the
next morning he went away in good
humor.

THOSE AMUSING KIDS.
Former New York School Teacher If e.
calls Some Rather Delightful
Experiences.

Little children are the most misun-
derstanding, as well as the most mis-
understood, people in the world, said
a young matron who before her mar
rage had been a school-teacher, to
New York Times reporter; they are
blamed and often scolded for lnatten-
ton and carelessness for failing to do
a task right when oftentimes the fault
has been entirely that of the teacher
who has not been clear in directions.
Still, children, especially, | think,
boys, can manage to make plumbers
without undue aid. / remember boy
when was teaching, one David Perl, a
precocious child of the slums, who
came to me one day and said he could
repeat the whole of Barbara Frietche
without mistake.
HE had learned it in the grade pre-
ceding mine, and | thought that it
would be a treat for my own children
to hear him recite the poem. So David
stood up before his admiring and en-
vious friends and began.
''Such a ten minutes [ never went
through before or since as those which
followed. What string of gibberish
rolled from that child's lips! Here, as
[ took it down Immediately afterward,
is one of the verses of Writers poem
in David's version:
:" Up from der redder which wild corn,
Clear in de cool September morn,
De custard pies of Fredericton,
Green hailed by de spills of Maryland
Round about dem ocids weep,
Apple an peach tree fluted deep,
Fair as a garden of de Lord,
To de eyes of de fashioned rabbi ord"
"By the time he had finished l was
nearly strangled with suppressed
laughter, but 1 managed to praise him
and he told me proudly that he said
the poem most every night, down at
de hotel when he went there with his
papers, and he added, 'dey give me
pennies, too.
THAT performance of David's set
me thinking, and one day l thought
would test the children on their abil-
ity to remember correctly new poem,
or, rather, verse from one. So / read
from old Ironsides:'
faye, tear her tattered ensign down,
Long has it waved on high!
II got many curious papers, but the
queerest, l think, was this one:
Il tear her tattered insides out
Long as she waved on l.

dred and twenty-five winters. 1t was
certainly intended that when an ami
NAL had been lawfully ''impounded, y
neither the animal should escape nor
his owner be able to liberate the pris-
oner until the pound-keeper's fees had
been paid; so thoroughly was the wall
and well-ironed door, or gate, con-
structed.
The pound" in question is the only
one known to the writer to be still
standing in the Pine Tree state,
though there may be others in remote
places that have not been visited by
him. They certainly are very rare in
New England, though common enough
in the old days when every town had
its pound and its pound-keeper, to
which and to whom were driven all
''horses, asses, mules, sheep, goats and
swine" that anyone might find wander
ing upon the highway or trespassing
upon his premises. The keeper of the
pound who was annually elected at the
March ''town meet'n," was obliged to
receive all animals brought to him,
whether actually caught trespassing,
or wandering at large, and it doubtless
often happened that animals were
driven to the pound out of pure spite,
but the pound-keeper could not take
cognizance of this, even though he
might suspect it. His duty was to keep
the animals in custody until their own
ers should settle according to law.
Ehe pound did not go as soon as some
of the other customs that were
brought across the water, but the prG c.
tice of impounding cattle began finally
to die out, and the old stone or wooden
structures to fall into ruin. But a
curious thing happened. Though the
custom fell into disuse, the practice of
electing pound-keeper at each annual
town meeting has been retained in
many towns in New England to the
present day. In not few towns when
the more serious matters have been
disposed of, nominations are in order
for the office of pound-keeper, fence
viewer, hog-reeve (whose duties would
seem to encroach somewhat upon the
prerogatives of the pound keeperD
and various other offices, the choosing
of suitable persons to fill which seems
to afford the voters much merriment.
This may be all very trivial, but yet
l am glad to see that some at least of
the many traditions of which New Eng
land life has been so full, are dying
hard. I hope the old pound that is
shown in the cut will endure for an
other hundred years to evoke memo
ries of the old days of New England
days that have had no little influence
on the subsequent life of the nation

Whistle it down, my bonnie lad,
The anger that rises hot;
You never will grieve at set of sun
For the harsh words uttered not.
Think of some pleasant thing, my boy;
Don't stop to sulk or frown;
If evil thoughts leap UP to your lips,
Just whistle, whistle them down.
Whistle as loud as ever you can,
Outwkfstle yon merry bird;
It's queer, but ne'er from whistling lip
Comes an angry, petulant word.
Don't let them out of your lips, my boy
Those thoughts unfit to own;
They'll soon give place to purer ones
If YOU whistle them bravely down

Description and Picture of One of
the Few still Standing in the
New England States.

Our ancestors had great many
unique customs, reminders of which
have come down to us in the shape of
an old-fashioned church here, the re-
mains of grist mill run by wind power
there, and Ito come at once to the point
of this article), the ancient pound"
which is shown in the accompanying IL
Iustration. This relic of past days was
discovered by little Miss Spry Eyes, as
the writer and his family were riding
down through the southern part of
Maine to the sea-coast that has become
so famous as summer camping
ground for the people of New England
and of many of the middle states.
Miss Spry Eyes discovery proved to
be circular pen of rough rocks high
up in a hillside pasture, with an open
ing on the side nearest the road.
"a 'pound!' an old-fa shioned
'pound!'" cried the rest of the party,
though not one had ever seen such a
structure before.
1t was short work to hitch the horses
by the roadside and Chamber up the hill
side to the well-preserved old monu-
ment of our ancestors rigid views con-
corning civic duties.
The pen was perhaps 20 feet across
and eight or nine feet high. 1t had .evi-
IDENTIFY been made of the rough rocks
that were everywhere in evidence in
the vicinity. That the work had been
carefully done was evidenced by the

withstood the effects of at least hun

1t must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neceS-

modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for worldwide
prominence unless they meet with the
general approval, not of individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth OF the choicest prod
ucts. Their commentator, consequently,
becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the we'll in
formed of all countries the method of
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind. The above is true
not of food products only. but IS espe-
ciallY applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of a century OF
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family laxatives. It's quality is
due not only to the excellence Of the
combination of the laxative and carmin-
alive principles of plants known to act
most beneicially on the system and pre-
scented in the form of pleasant and re-
freshing liquid, but also to the method
of manufacture of the California Fig
Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformi-
ty and purity essential in remedy in

ciar who is well informed and he will
answer at once that it is an excellent
laxative. If at all eminent in his pro-
fession and has made a special study of
laxatives and their effects upon the sys-
tenn he will tell you that it is the best
of family laxatives, because it is sim
pie and wholesome and cleanses and
sweetens the system effectualiy when
a laxative is needed, without any I'M
pleasant after-effccts. Every well-in-

knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel

A SEA CUCUMBER.

tropical species have splendid colors
and are among the creatures which
make the bottom of the sea gay and
lovely as a garden.
The sea cucumber is generally about
a foot long when reposing, but can
extend itself several times that length.
The Chinese are very fond of this
little creature. They make them into
a rich soup and also stew them in va
rious ways. A large trade is carried
on in these strange products of the
sea. They are prepared for the mar.
ket by being carefully opened and
cleansed, laid in lime and then dried
