Gambling Debts In chl,a.

Gambling debts are pre-eminently
debts Of honor in China, and they
are more willingly and speedily paid
than any Others. To pay them a
Chinaman will pawn ali his proper
ty and even sell his children. For
doing this he is regarded IT, the pub
lie as worthy Of all praise, and the
relatives who allow themselves to be
sold are treated as models Of flial
devotion. Meanwhile a tradesman
to whom a debt is due may starve
or go bankrupt.-Golden Penny.

Breakino Il to Him Softly.

In a certain law Office in New
York city there is clerk who is
afflicted with occasional fits Of STAN
mering. Recently he was sent to
serve some papers on another law

fore the man he had to see he drew
out the papers and tried to make a
few explanatory remarks, but for
all his gagging and coughing not a
word could he utter. The lawyer
who was to be served was Of an iras-
chile temperament, and he stood the
clerks suffering as long as he
could.

clerk. ''fm-haw ah-I'm-I'm an

Women In Prison,

The woman in prison is despoiled
of her fine feathers. The complete
modification of that harmless sort
Of vanity which fills so much Of a
woman's life makes her durance
doubly vile. Her hair is shorn of
it's last lock, while the face that
gazed with perfect passiveness at
the judge who sentenced her is rails
ed in piteous protest. When the
hair grows longer again there is
grumbling because thoughtless adj
ministration provides no hairpins.
One woman skinned the fat from
her broth after it had cooled to gilt
ter her crown of glory, an attendant
relates. One girl, envied to the point
of madness, certainly rouged. Final
ly her secret was out. She had
drawn some red threads from her
skirt, chewed them to extract the
color and used it on her lips and
cheeks. The most oppressive pen
ance is lack of mirrors. Still there
are no male hearts around to break.

Hanna...McC Cormick Nuptials

The magni6cence of the gifts
which Miss Ruth Hanna received
today when she became the wife
of Joseph Mccormick, of Chicago,
has probably never been equaled In
the city of Cleveland and perhaps
not In the State. They were gen
>erally of an antique character, In
accord with the taste of the bride.
The gift of the groom's parents Is a
solid silver tea set, which was made
In England and brought to this
couutry In 1920, having been kept
as a cherished heirloom. Senator
Hanna's gift to his daughter Is a
check for $4,000 and the deed tor
a residence In Chicago, where the
couple will live. Other gifts are
correspondingly rich.
