LEARNING THE CHINESE.
Taught at Berlin for the Benefit OF
Commercial Men, Con-
suls, Etc.

China is to become a great market for
western wares, no doubt, but Americans
will not supply it to any great extent un-
less they make the special preparations
that the Germans are making, says the
Baltimore Sun. The Chinese language
is taught in Berlin for the benefit of COM
mercial men, consuls, diplomats and
others who wish to obtain the advan-
tage of direct intercourse with the Chi
nese By devoting ones self exclusive
ly to the study of Chinese the language
can be learned, it is found, in from IL
to Is months. knowledge of Chinese
opens the way to good salaries. Under
normal conditions" says the Cologne
Gazette, "a law student 21 or % years of
age, can, by serving the German govern
ment in China, secure a well-compen-
sated and financially Independent posi-
ton, with favorable chances for rising
in the consular and eventually entering
the diplomatic service, and also posi-
tion to represent abroad other German
interests" The same may be said Of
Americans who have a facility in ac-
curing languages. They nave at present
chance to do we'll for themselves by
learning Chinese ''The German gov
ernment," says Consul Guenther, 'as
well as the German manufacturing and
exporting classes, know by experience
that the mastery of the language of the
foreign country which they want to
bring under their Influence is an essen
tial requisite for their representatives
abroad. Because of this knowledge the
requirement of the difficult Chinesc
tongue is deemed obligatory for German
representatives in China With very
few exceptions the German consular
and diplomatic officers command the
language of the foreign country in which
they are located"

SOME MODERN LovEMAKING
The Bustle of Life To-Day Has
Worked Changes Even in
Cupid's Realm.

This being a busy age, young men
leave school early and plunge headlong
into the trades and the professions, for
getting everything but the desire to
make money. Hence it is only natural
that the making of love should become
more and more the duty and the privil-
ege of young women. Gone are the days
when forlorn maidens dropped and
pined. Departed is Ophelia, and Rosa
lind has the boards, says the Newark
News.
Hello"
Hello; is that you, Harry"
''Yes; who's that?"

pretty WELL thank you. Good-by.'
When our mothers were girls they sat
at home with their knitting. If no fairy
prince came riding up the driveway, the
maid of yesterday went right on with
her knitting till her dear eyes gave out.
The girl of to-day is not so helpless.
Also it is now permissible for a young
woman to call upon young man at his
place of employment to interrogate him
as to why she had to walk home alone
from church last Sunday night And
there are other new doors to young
mans heart.
Where are you going?" asked David.
"Out to call on Jessie Brown" re-
piled Jonathan.
"I thought you told me you were
never going there again"

there she stole my scarfpin and I'm
going out tonight to get it back
This conversation David recalled last
week when he stood UP as best man at
Jessie and Jonathan's wedding. And
Jonathan might have remembered had
he not been occupied with other matters
how, the second time he went for the
scarfpin, Jessie's mother patted him
kindly on the shoulder and called him
my SON." /.
Perhaps the standard of maidenly re-
serve isn't SO high as it used to be; but
then, as we have said, this is busy
age; and if the men don't make love,
and if the women won't, what's to be-
come of the race?

The Sunshine Society was born in a
newspaper office, and ever since the be-
ginning, it owes much of its unprece-
dented growth and success TO newspa-
per support. For all through the land,
they have We'd with each other in
spreading good cheer, which is the other
name for sunshine. And both rich and
poor have been benefited and made
happier by the good influence of the
press in telling of sunshine made and
suggesting other ways of making more.
The numerous members in Yale and
vicinity will welcome a department of
their own, in their home paper, devoted
exclusively to sunshine interests, but
open to all who are interested in good
works, and who feel the need of "doing
all the good they can, as they pass this
way but once" And, she who does a
good deed is instantly enobled; he who
does mean deed is by the action it.

Sunshine has no creed, nor knows no

and sharing the sorrows" Of those

the season, Mr.. Arthur L. Ludington
and Miss Mabel Kiah were united in
marriage in the Methodist Episcopal
church, Wednesday evening at half
past eight o'clock, the service being
performed by Rev. j. w. Turner The
altar of the church was tastefully dec
Grated with ferns and roses, which
afforded beautiful setting for the
marriage service. Bride and groom
were attended by Mr.. Leigh Wagner
and Miss Frances Webb of Port Hope.
Little Flora Belle Ludington, of Bon
ner's Ferry, Idaho, niece of the groom,
was flower girl. The wedding march
was rendered most acceptably by Miss
Sadie Snowden. After the service a
reception was held at the home of Capt.
and Mrs. j. g. Kiah. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ludington received many elegant
presents from their numerous friends
in Harbor Beach and elsewhere. After
a short wedding tour, they will return
to Harbor Beach where they will re-
side. The bride and groom are well
and favorably known in this commun-
| ity and will carry into their new life
the best wishes of all who knew them.

Lou Dillon at Blue Ribbon Meet.

The Blue Ribbon Grand Circuit trot-
ting meetings at Detroit in the past
have furnished great attractions and
wonderful racing but the Blue meet
this year bids fair to eclipse any SIM
liar event. President ID. j. Campau
and Secretary w. j. Snyder have used
every effort to have this years meet
the greatest ever held in the history of
the light harness sport. AM agreement
has just been conSummated with g. X.
G. Billings, owner of the worlds champ
ion tr6tter Lou Dillon, whereby this
wonderful trotter will go an exhibition
mile on Monday, July 25th, the opening
day of the meeting. This will be the
first appearance of two minute trot-
ter IN the state of Michigan. Should
the weather elements be in favor it is
certain a new worlds record will be
established. Lou Dillon has this early
trotted a mile in her work in two min
utes and her trainer and driver, Willard
Sanders, said after dismounting from
the sulky Immediately after finishing
the mile, "that mile was the easiest one
Lou ever trotted" and when she tries
for a new record at Detroit, the watches
will stop at l :55. This from her trainer
who has always handled her expresses
just what the public mayanticipate on
the opening day at Detroit. 1t is pos
sible that the present generation of
this state will never have another op-
portunity of witnessing similar per-
Torrance, therefore, the horse loving
public should take advantage of this
chance to see the record figures re-
duced. On the same day, as has been
the custom for years, the Chamber of
Commerce $4,000 stake for PAGERS will
be raced. The field that will go to the
post is the best that ever lined up to
get the word from the starter, and all
race records are certain to be beaten.
In addition to these star attractions
there will be three other races, lncfud-
ing the 2:07 pace, 2:0S trot and 40 trot.
The entries to these events, particular
ly the 2:07 pace and POS trot are of the
calibre that suggests extremely fast
time being made. 1t is safe to predict
all worlds records will be lowered for
one days average time. Miles in 2:04
will be common. The program is none
the less conspicuous as the week pro
ceeds, in fact it grows stronger except
ing there will be no Lou billions to
startle the world by record perform
ance. Tuesday the great Merchants
and Manufacturers stake for $4,000
will be trotted. The field comprises the
best lot of trotters that have ever met
in a race. The Detroit owned trotter,
Stanley Dillon, who has troUted mile
in 2:07 Will be starter and with him
will go the $4,000 trotters, Miss Gay
and Emma Hoyt, who have both trav-
eled miles as fast as their great OPP
ponent, Stanley Dillon, who is half
brother to the wonder Lou Dillon"
The Merchants and Manufacturers
field will number ~ starters. On this
day three other races will be on and in
each event the best horsesi in the classes
have been entered.
