THE cH1NAMAN's PROFANITY.

An Fom, Chinese cook, in the em- pIoy of family in California was a great admirer of the youngest son, a daring and mischievous boy of sixteen. An Fon himself. to Guote the descrip- Itfon of pr. Faustus in the old legend, had a naughty mind and was other wise addicted" especially to pro- anity. He evidently regarded Fred as a profitable model to study, although the lads worst vice was slang, which he used at times with dramatic in tensity.. His favorite invective was
 IN. G." and An Fom secretly added it to his own vocabulary.
 An Toms profanity was fearful to listen to, howbeit unintellibible to English ears. He usually worked him. self up to a climax, and then resumed the task with the smiling equanimity of
 mien peculiar to Celestials.. One day company was expected, and An Fom was endeavoring to outshine himself.
 He had mixed the particular cake which was the pride of his heart and put it in , the oven. Then, in the hurry of his other work. he forgot it.. When the mistress came and asked to see it he flew to the oven and found it burned to charcoal.
 The rage of Ah Fom was dreadful to behold He whirled round like top, with his pigtail flying uttering words
 so diabolical in their infection that the
 mistress fled in terror; and then, in1-
 neled by curiosity she paused by the door. An Fom whirled and swore, an
 swore and whirled. until it seemed the single spectator as if he must drol exhausted. And then. with the air
 having reached the very quintessence os
 profanity he brought down to his foot
 once, twice, thrice. and cried: IN. G.i
 N. G.! N. C." When the mistress re-
 covered from her emotion he was
 placidly mixing the batter for another
 cake - Youths Companion.

AN MISREPRESENTATION OR MARINr

 A decidedly remarkable figure in Phil- ippine affairs passed when Apolinario Mabini died. He was man of strength and ability, both of which characteris- tics were strongly shown throughout the insurrection and the reconstruction period Of the entire group of young men who led the insurrection, he was undoubtedly the abest, although in the beginning he was perhaps the least known of all. When the Ma1olos gov ernment fell and the insurgent armies were driven from the field, Mabini re- fused to acknowledge defeat and suf- fered exile rather than abjure He re- mained steadfast in his purpose and re- fused the oath of the new sovereignty until months after peace had been re- stored and his country had started on a new basis. ,%,.
 Much of Mabini's career impels admi- ration, and we willingly yield it, much as we disagree with and repudiate the principles for which he fought In so doing, however, we do not wish our sen- timents to be misunderstood, as much of the kindness and friendship shown to- Wnlu 'NIhulil dlll OlilCI LOIIIGI IGUGl leaders undoubtedly has, We are ab- solutely convinced that the triumph of the Malolos govehnment would have meant evil for the Filipino epeopl There was not single man in the Ma lolos government possessed of true conception of responsible government, of political balance, or of national re- sponsibiiity, and evil use would unques- tionably have been made of the power gained Internal strife, rebellion, and intervention by one or more of the pow CTS would most likely have come in the order named.
 We had strongly hoped that Mabini might be spared to his people. Obser- vation under normal circumstances might have given him true measure of his countrymen and their needs and he might have been very valuable in point ing the way to them. He had many of the qualities of leadership and always retained the confidence of the people despite the fraud, deceit, and miscon- duct Of the men with whom he was as- sociated.-Manila Times.

HOT BEVERAGES.

Many drink tea and coffee against their better judgment because they re- quire hot drink at meal time
 They know that by the use of tea and coffee they are only drugging them selves, but they struggle along and con- tinue to use one or the other. To these peeople Postum Cereal Coffee is great help, for many people find well boiled Postum superior in flavor to coffee to say nothing of it's great health restor- ing qualities.
 The effect upon those who leave off tea and coffee and take on Postum is very marked. for the old-time coffee ails, such as heart trouble, kidney dis ease nervousness and other ills soon disappear as if by magic. The Postum makes new red blood, and this is shown in the rosy cheeks and clear complex ion that replace the blotched sallow skin of the coffee thinker A young school miss of Ava, Okla, says of Postum: T have used it now for over a year and my complexion and general health show the change. Before that time drank tea and coffee and my complexion was sallow and muddy. I also had almost constant dull head aches. realized that I must give up tea and coffee, but hung onto them be- cause felt the need of hot drink at meal times
 ..One day I heard of Postum so we'll spoken of decided to try it and I bless the day did so. I dropped coffee and took up Postum, and now my dull head aches have disappeared, my complexion is fresh and rosy, eyes bright and mind clear. sleep well now and I owe it all to using Postum in place of coffee.
 '..rhe matron of the Young Ladies' Boarding house at the Ava Normal school has adopted Postum as a stand ard drink, as she is positive that stu dents study and get along better on Postum than on any other drink.
 "A lady friend of mine had a son who was nervous wreck, due, so his doctor said, to coffee. The lady tried Postum and the young man relished it so he drank it in preference to coffee, and in few weeks he was like an entirely new person. know of lots more cases, too" Name given by Postum Co., Bat tie Creek, Mich. lr... ...,.....s....>...-..

OLD AND NEW METHODS I
FINANCE.

5.5 ss- FINANCE.
 The oId-fashioned captain of indus try" knew how to do something of value and charged high price for his gift. He was not above financial thimblerig- ging, and he made his blunders, but he did plan to stay by his company and run railroads or build ships if that was what it had set out to do. The new fashioned captain of finance" in this il- luminative instance 'unloads." crush ing burden upon his company, and leaves it to sink or swim. He pre- fers that 1t shall swim. but he ar ranges to leave the ship first. not last. And while raking in the pennies of small "investors'' at home, he sends agents to report upon foreign capitalists land their mode of living, as indicating whether they are worthy of the honor of being shown or capable of assisting in the shearing.
 A blunt comment upon all this would be, Worse than highway robbery" but it might not be wholly just. Probably a good many promoters two years ago were self deluded with their dupes, and believed that two and two lin trust make 12, that competition killing could be capitalized, and that any old business once 'fioated'' would run by itself without capital or personal attention or repairs.
 They are wiser now. But as their wisdom has been gained at the cost of improverishment to many poor people here, of the temporary clouding of American credit abroad, and of an in discriminate slaughter of the shares of solvent companies, their experience has indeed been costly.--New York World. ;.

A PUBLIC HEARING

On the Question as to Whether All the Wires in the City Shall be Placed Underground.
 The committee on ordinances held a
 meeting in city hall last evening to con-
 sider petitions for placing the overhead
 wires underground, in conduits, and the
 petition for amendment to the ordi-
 nances of office hours in the city, hall.
 The hearing was a lengthy one and was
 not finished until after 10 o'clock.
 Those who spoke in favor of placing all the wires underground were ex-Al- derman Trueman, Joseph Reilly and Lynn w. Wilson. Those who were op-
 posed were Attorney James T. Moran, who appeared for the Telephone com pany, and Engineer Punderford, for the
 trolley company.
 At the conclusion of the hearing on the wires the petition for closing city hall at noon on Saturday was taken up and was favored by all present. The committee then went into execu- tive session and at it's conclusion stated that they would recommend the petition for closing the hall, and that they
 would have another hearing on the wire question. One of the members of the committee stated last evening that the committee had practically agreed that nothing
 should be attempted towards compel ling the trolley company to put it's wires underground, as the cost would be tremendous. .s
 Engineer Punderford told the com nittee that there were only two. cities
 in the country, that he knew of, where
 the trolley roads ran their wires entire |ly underground--in New York and in
 Washington. He said that in order to
 do anything of the kind here the entire plant would practically have to be
 changed, and that even the cars would have to be built over.

AMERICAN SECURITIES ABROAD.

THE PETROLEUM MARKET.

AS expected, another advance of three cents was
made on Friday in credit balances. making the
quotations at OIL City 81 56. North and South Lima
and Indiana oils were advanced two cents gallon,
making the quotation for North Lima 81 Is, South
Lima 81 13 and Indiana 81 Is. Other grades were
vanced in proportion. The advance In South Lima
and Indiana makes the price for those oils the
highest for many years. No pew discoveries OF any
Importance have been made for time. and
consumption is rapidly depicting the stocks above

natural result.

a par with those of many previous weeks There
