What war was caused by clay tea
pot?
For an answer to this question we
must 80, as might be supposed, to the
land of pigtails and porcelain. The
story goes that a Chinese emperor in
oldcn days gave as q mark of special
favor magnificent clay teapot of rare
design to 10 Hung Chang, his favorite
mandarin.
This was laid up rs priceless pos
session among the treasures of Lo
Hung or borne at his side by two at
tendants at all high public festivals
and functions
\ rival mandarin saw these signs of
distinction with the green eyes Of teal-
ouSy and hired man to break the OBJ
noxious pot The clumsy fellow was
caught in the act and betrayed his
master. War followed between the two
mandarins and their respective follow
ers, which resulted In the overthrow
and death Of 10 Hung Chang and the
reception of his rival into royal favor

GLORY Enough For All"

Milwaukee News.
The young man Of today is apt to
think that he has little chance TO
distinguish himself There are no
wars. There is no call for volunteers
no opportunity to jump into the
breach and sieze the flag from the
hands Of a fallen soldier and bear it
forward amid the plaudits of an
army and the admiration of nation.
There are no wars, but there is a
call for unselfish and devoted patri-
otism. There are evils and abuses in
government to be eradicated. There
are boodlers, bribegivers and corrup-
tionists to be routed in city, state
and nation. The times call for fear
less len as much us they did when
the union was assailed by secession.
The very springs Of government are
being polluted.
Let the young man who pines for
opportunity to serve his country,
buckle on his armor and attack these
foes Of free institutions. There is
Joseph Wingate Folk Of st. Louis.
Bingle-handed he has routed the
nOsts Of corruption. Is he not as an
heroic q figure rescuing the govern
ment from the clutches of rascals
aud knaves that have placed leeis-
lation and even justice upon the
auction block to be Knocked down to
the highest bidder, as any knight
that ever tilted lance to rescue fair
maiden from giants castle?
Wake up, young man! There are OPP
portunities on every hand, if you bat
have the wit and will try to perceive
and grasp them. The cry that the
day of opportunity has passed was
heard in ancient Rome and was
echoed through the streets Of cities
that have gone down to dust and
have been lost in oblivion.
"There's glory enough for all
There never was glory enough nor
there never will be glory enough for
the man that shirks his duty or fears
to enter the lists against odds that
stagger the faint of heart.

my wife and H. said Il Germantown
man, have been married n little over
five years. We have no children, there
are Just two in the family and we have
use for but one servant girl to do
general homework. One would nat
ur0Ily think that such a Job would be
a sinecure for girl at 81 week, the
wages my wife pays, and yet in those
five years we have had no less than
siNty-three separate and distinct girls.
How do | know the exact number?
Well, keep Il diary. and among other
things | have jottci down the numer
Gus changes in servants. Some OF
them have stayed day or two. the
longest term of service being six
months. Some have been discharged,
some have gone out ana failed to re-
turn, some have left because the work
was too hard, some have married, one
was arrested on warrant sworn out
by former mistress whom she had
robbed. IT seems to me that sixty
three servants in five years is about the
record; and vet | don't think we are
hard people to get along with. If /
didn't own my own home I'd give up
housekeeping and board. - Philadel-

the want and woe behind that is
surely his work.
Thete are many towards.
One man who deserted his wife
and five children recently, leaving
not one penny in the house, laughed
and said to a companion: Nell will
get along. She is a good manager"
Get along!" The work that that
woman has done to keep her loved
ones together would make you cry.
She is wrinkled; her joints are swol-
len and her back bent, and some
times rheumatism touches her. From
morning till night the foul steam
from a wash, lb fills heflungs.
And there is so much of the great
hearted woman in her that she does
not even hate the cur who left her.
There are thousand cases, ten
thousand-how many? They are all
about you.
Punish the wife deserters. Don't
spare them.

STATE Insurance Commissioners
Host has ruled to the effect that all

suit in something like S20o,000,O00 be-

that the insurance companies VIII

Public Office for Private Gain.

Certain conditions and tendencies
of American life have been painful
| " illustrated in the current news of
| the past few weeks. In almost every
! instance, however, there have been
| encouraging signs TO show that the
forces making for good are stronger
than those making for evil in the
body polite. In the governmental
| sphere, there have been various dis
closures pointing to the use of public
| office for private gain. There has
been such n remarkable Increase in
private wealth throughout the coun-
| try that standards of living, especial
| ly in the cities and larger towns,
have been changed very greatly. Of
| fetal salaries, meanwhile, have not
been increased to any corresponding
| extent. In "A European country Xix g
| Germany, while official salaries are
| very small, it is a high honor to hold
ii place in the public service, and ten
ure is for life, on conditions of faith
fulness, honesty, and efficiency. I'm
der those circumstances, public posts
| are regarded as SO desirable that Of
| flee holders are content with very
simple scale of living, and seldom
feel any temptation to ape the man
ners of the rich. Public rather than
private life may be said to fix the
standards and great deal of splid
comfort, as we'll as of high thinking,
goes along with very plain and sim
pie living. In the United States, on
the contrary, private life sets the
pace, and oiiicialdom finds its lot
rather precarious and difficult. In 4
few positions, the public service af-
fords opportunity for career practi-
cally permanent and in mostrespects
satisfactory. But for the most part,
our ofYiceholders come and go, and
are ever uneasy and anxious They
are strongly tempted to be on the
lookout for influential outside con-
nections, because they do not expect
to find permanence or adequate re-
ward in the public service. Attimcs,
this condition of things becomes ser
iously detrimental to the efficiency,
and even to the honesty, Of the pub
lie service; and that this is true is
now abundantly illustrated in the
facts already brought to light by the
investigation of the scandals in the
administration of the post Office sys-
tem.-From "The Progress of the
World in the American Monthly
