"Shanghai7s" Papa.

A little book Just published by the
police department from the pen OF
Policeman Maurice Behan contains
many little human interest stories per-
tanning to the force The book is en-
titled THE Strange DOings of Shang-
hal Brown" One of the stories in the
volume is as follows:
Shanghai" Brown was cited to ap-
pear before the Board of Police Com
missioners on charge Of reporting late
for duty. The case was called ana
Brown, with his usual facility for put
ting up feasible defense, was on deck
with 'the goods"
Browns defense was that he was sit
ting up with his sick fatner and could
not leave him until the nurse came.
Brown had not seen his father for
twenty wears and did not know where
he was. but ne had to have a defense.
What kind Of looking man is your
father?" asked a dubious commissioner.
"Oh, he's an old man with whiskers
down to here" answered the man
charged, at the same time indicating
by the seventh button on his vest the
length of his dads dermal appendage.
Put the case over for one week in
order that the officer may produce his
father here as a Witness" thundered
the chairman.
Any other man would have been IN
a quandary at this sudden turn Of af-
fairs, but Brown was ready for any
emergency. Going home that night on
a car, Brown met fellow officer.
Bill" he said. you've always been
a good friend to me; help me to find
a bum with whiskers down to his
waist" Another car was passing at
the time, and Brown spotted his man
a lean looking individual with the nee
essary appendage. In bound he was
on the other car.
For S. you are my father" he cried
to the astonished bum, at the same
time dislodging him from his corner.
The bum didn't understand. but saw
booze in sight and dismounted from
the vehicle with Brown. A few jolts
at neighboring wet goods parlor fixed
the deal. The bum pocketed 81 80; the
rest he was to get after the next meet
ing of the Board of Police Commits
sioners.
Shanghai and his new-found dad
appeared at the next meeting OF the
board
Are you this mans father7" asked
the commissioners.
Oats what I am" answered the
subsidized Brown. Me boy George IS
a fine lad; so kind to his old father
The scene was touching. Brown
wept; and as he and his father"

gust body, exonerated, Chairman How

]. S. Holden, secretary of the Edito-
rial Association of Indian Territory and
editor of the Fort Gibson Post, has
added some exceedingly interesting
facts to the story of Sam Houston and
his Cherokee wife. We copy this ex-
tract from Mr.. Holden's article on the
subject: wilson's Rock is a beautiful
spot on the Cherokee side of the Ar
kansas River, on a hill near the mouth
of Skinbayou Creek. Here in a cedar
grove lived in log cabin with his
Cherokee wife the former Governor of
Tennessee and distinguished general. IT
was from here he started on horseback
for Texas, of which State he became
the liberator and first Governor. Tahli-
hina (his wife) is said to have been the
most beautiful woman in the Cherokee
tribe, and Houston was not ashamed
OF her. He wrote to have her join him
in Texas, which she declined. sayinc
she was an. Indian and would not be
happy among his white associates. II
appears he really loved her and re-
solved to see her again in her forest

score years have gone since the fair

Il Bride at Bargain Rate.

A certain missionary IN one Of the
rescue homes in local Chinatown is
disgusted, and declares that she in

of saving souls. All on account Of lit
tie Dan Cupid" who has been using
the mission as a means to further his
endsG
One day not long ago a neatly
dressed Chinaman entered the mission
and Informed the lady in charge that
in a certain alleY in Chinatown there
was a slave girl who wished to run
away to the mission and study Chris
tianity, but was unable to do so on
account of her owner, who was nego-
tiating her sale for $1,000 to an old
gambler.
The next day the missionary made
her appearance in the alley, and with
the help Of an interpreter and a po-
lice sergeant rescued the girl, who took
up her abode in the mission. She be-
came an interested pupil and soon en-
braced Christianity.
About the same time the Chinaman
who had caused the rescue appeared
This time he wished to join the church
himself. He had not been a member
long before he came forward with the
request for a wife, which was granted
Among the names suggested was that
of the rescued girl, and he chose her.
Her consent was the only condition
and, needless to say, that was easily
obtained.
The wedding was not delayed The
time taken to deceive the missionaries
had been too long for the loving hearts.
They were united by the mission pas
tor, after which they left for a joss
house and were married by the priest
in real Chinese fashion.
The last the missionaries heard Of
them they were living in the heart
of Chinatown and were worshiping
joss, even more devoutly than their
neighbors. Later it was discovered that
the Chinaman, who was really the
girls lover, but had not sufficient funds
with which to purchase her. had used
the missionary people in this shrewd
manner. He got the girl he loved
without paying the $4,000. But the mis-
sionary has lost her confidence in the
yellow race.

HOSPITABLE FRATERNITIES.

IT HE time is opportune to consider the part that
fraterna organizations have taken to establish the
reputation of California hospitality Numerous rep
resentaves of two famous orders about to be
tanned in this city The general public of California will
throng to them, and many persons who are not
members of either of the orders will contribute
financially make their sojoun agreeable The task of
caring for the personal comfort and enjoyment of the
visitors will fall to Odd Fellows and Knights Templar.
They will unquestionab1y heghten among their frater
nal associates from abroad the in which Cafor

will strive
Californa's generous host has been made

of this State have cemented closely the ties that
bind together the American people scattered the
breadth of continent AS the less is included in the
greater the hospitality of individuals has been even
effectively employed collectively by fraternities
than it could be by persons acting singy.
The uses of large of money in the hands of ex

through fraterna agencies have madet possible to de-
wise and carry plans for entertainment a very
large scale
From these considerations it clearly is manifest that
debt is due the fraernal orders and all associa
tions secular and religious, in California that have vol
unfairly assumed the burdens with the pleasures of
greeting and providing for the comfort of thousands of
affiliated strangers simultaneously. If San Francisco
is regarded "a show city" and if its place such
be maintained, the effort and credit alike be
tributed to organizations.
California has been for many proud of its frater
mites. In the mining days members were to be found
in every camp Now they enrolled by thousands. By
them works of mercy and charity have been wrought
in countless instances Their pledges are for brother

when the present Dalai, who was

Dalai's life, the young National
party by strategem obtained the seals
of office from the Regent, whom they
imprisoned in a monastery, where
shortly afterward he died. The Dalai
Lama assumed sovereign power and
deprived the Chinese Ambans OF any
say in the Government. The latter
officials procured an indignant Chinese
edict from Peking, ordering that the
Regent be reinstated and the seals re-
turned. Meanwhile the Regent died,
or was murdered, and a new senior

"Afterward the opportunist young

prestige through her defeats by Japan
and afterward by the allied armies in
1900, openly refused to be guided by

fess how powerless they are in Tibet
and how contemptuously the Tibetans
regard their authority, which is now
an empty farce. As recently as 1902

Tibet. had to ask Peking to send an

age from Bayreuth points to the great
contrast between the noise and hustle
of the Wagner festival and the small
and old-fashiOned Mozart house in the
middle OF SalzbUrg. 1t is with a feel
ing Of respect. he says, that one climbs
the three fights of stairs and enters
the room where Mozart was born. All
the ancient pictures, the two old
pianos and many relics belonging to
the composer take one back a hun

this harmonious association Of mem

remains of him, since no one could
ever distinguish his body in the mass
of remains in the common paupers'

5n Tibet Colonel Wsdden, a we'll
known expert in Tibetan matters, de-
scribes therein how since 1749 it had
been the policy Of Lassa up to the
present reign to assassinate every
Dalai Lama. In 17z9, the Tibetans
having mass2cred the Chinese at
I.sssa, the Chinese Emperor Chau-
lung sent a punitive army and re-
stored the Chinese ascendency and the
influence Of the Chinese Ambans was
enormously increased. They kept the
appointment Of a Regent in their own
hands and were the real driving pow
er Of state. Colonel Waddell contin-
ues:
