Heroes.

A hero is necessarily brave
man, but a man who performs a
brave deed is not necessarily a
hero. Many brave deed has been
prompted by cowardly motive.
Steve Broodie. who jumped from the
Brooklyn bridge, was brave man,
but the motive back of Steve's
plunge was a selfish one, and he
was in no sense a hero.
A man by the name of Parks
who employed a substitute to fight
his battles during the Civil War
recently applied for a pension.

The Telephone In War;.

While the Japanese are greatly
skilled in the visual system of
communication, the tim e-hon-
ored "wigwag" and heliograph,-
yet in the present conflict they
have clearly demonstrated the
superiority of the telephone and
the telegraph as means of trans
hitting information from point to
point. Unlike the Photograph and
flag systems, the electrical means
of communication operates ire
spective of weather, distance, and
typographical conditions. It has
the further advantage of being alb
solutely and entirely concealed
from the enemy. It is shrouded
in mystery, and there is no chance
for the enemy to gain an advan-
tage by reading signals, as has Oft
en- happened in the past.
The character of the country in
which operations are being con-
Quoted mas no effect upon present
military maneuvers. Where bull
lock carts cannot penetrate the
Japanese have discovered that it
is very easy to transport wire by
having men carry it coiled upon
their shoulders. These men ad-
vance the line at a rate of three
miles or more an hour. The tele-
phones are constructed of parts
similar to those of commercial in
struments, but are housed in boxes,
which make them more easily

his country by proxy is not my
ideal Of hero.
During the war III South Africa
a young English officer, while re-
treating with his regiment before
superior force Of the enemy, dis
mounted and relieved q dead COM
panion Of his gold watch and several
hundred dollars in money. For
this act his government presented
him with a me lal for heroic con-
duct. [ don't see that there was
anything particularly brave about
that act. as the man whose pockets
he rif1ed was dead and could offer
no resistance-in fact, he couldn't
even make roar. When that
young officer leaped from his sad
die and relieved his companion of
his valuables, was he actuated by
a spirit of patriotism or was it
through love of country, or was it
from force of habit? [ am inclined
to think it was the latter; and, by
the way, the English soldier is not
the only one that is addicted to
this habit. The American soldier
has done his share Of looting in
the Philippines. Even the soldier
of the cross will glue on to valua-
bles that don't belong to him if he
thinks there is no one looking.

Passing through the outer door we
are in a dim hallway lighted only
by the few rays coming through a
barred wicket in heavy steel and
oak door. After a little delay,
this door is opened and we pass
into the building proper. A Chi
nese gambling joint, highbinders'
headquarters and opium den is
before us. The American game
of poker is in evidence, but the
Chinese games are played with
small strips of paper printed with
Chink characters, with dominoes
and with a bowl Of beans. This
last game is the famous Fan Tan.
The beans are placed upon a table
and mixed in a pie. The bowl is
then turned over them and some
of the beans or counters are drawn
away beneath it. The object is to
guess the number of beans under
the bowl. You may also bet on
the odd or even. The opium den
in connection is a long, low room
without ornament, fitted up with
a row of broad mat-covered hunks,
and lighted only by the feeble
flames of the half dozen opium
lamps in use.
How different from the next
place we visit, the "show'' joint,
where the guides take their charges.
A large room decorated with silk
hangings and with beautiful teak
wood furniture contains some half
dozen hunks, lined with silk cush-
ions and separated from each other
by curtains of beads or bamboo.
This joint always contains two or
three hired smokers whose duties
are to begin smoking when visitors
arrive, simulate opium intoxication
something unknown among
opium smokers) and generally
hgive the visitors their moneys
worth, for all visitors pay adm1s-
sion here. Leaving this place we
pay visit to the Chinese theatre,
where we see a small portion of
play which has been going on for
several weeks. Then we visit the
''slums" of Chink narrow
alleys, lined with dark looking
buildings, form a network of pas
sages for the throng of hurrying
Chinks. Just ahead of US a small
opening, heavily grated, is seen in
the wall, and behind it the dim
outline of a Chinese woman's face.
We must move quickly now for no
whites are allowed in Chinese
slave house. An innocent appear
ing stairway is before US and we
60 up with run. Two or three
quick turns bring us to large
door of iron bars shutting off
room some ten or twelve feet
square. A half dozen Chinese
women are in the room, all richly
dressed. Many are very pretty in
their paint and feathers. Our
appearance causes a stampede,
however, for the raids conducted
by Miss Cameron upon these slave
houses have made the Chinks
suspicious of the whites. AS we
leave we meet the excited owner
hurrying up the stair. Slavery,
according to the law of our land,
died in the early COS, but in San
Francisco, Chinese women are still
bought and sold for sums varying
from $4,000 to $1,000.
San Francisco's underground
Chinatown is nearly as extensive
as that above the ground Enter

en-. Here we take leave of the

such advantage, nor is there any
other place where you will find SC
many Of them. This country con-
tains only about 100000 Chinese,
and the San Francisco Chinatown
has a population of about 5000
more than one-third Of the entire
population. For this reason we
should all take "a trip to China
town." and with your permission,
that is where we'll go now. Leav-
ing Market Street, the Broadway
of Frisco, we pass up Grant Ave-
nue. for several blocks to Suffer
Street. Here Grant Avenue ends
as a name, and the street continues
as Dupont Street. Quite appro-
priately, too. Dupont Street is
much narrower than Grant Ave
nue.. We are approaching China
town now and our way lies through
aminiature Bowery. Shooting gal
leries, saloons, dance halls, fortune
tellers, all are there, and even a
talented professor Of tatooing does
a rushing business among the
many tourists bound on the same
errand as ourselves.
We pass all this, however, and
at the next corner are at the edge
of Chinatown. A quite serious
problem confronts US here. Shall
we hire guide? Several Offices
bearing the legend Licensed
Guides" are at hand. and most
tourists secure some person to
''take them through" There are
some places, however, that guide
won't show you, so for this time
I'll lead the way. We are now in
the fashionable quarters of China
town. The buildings are all occu-
pied by large stores, conducted by
Chinks, and the windows are
bright with beautiful silks, paint
ed china ware, dolls, curios, and
other goods calculated to attract
the attention of the passing visit
or. AS we enter one of these shops
we are surprised at the richness of
the decorations. The walls are
hung with heavy silk draperies
and long banners of red rice paper
bearing Chinese characters. The
wainscoting is teakwood, dark and
rich, inlaid with squares of marble.
The seats are heavy teakwood
chairs, with marble inlaid arms
and backs. At the back of the
store we can see curtain hanging
over a window, behind which the
proprietor watches his clerks.
After purchasing some small
memento, we pass on to the next
point Of interest, a Chinese barber
shop. The barber is armed with a
large assortment of very narrow
razor blades, some curved and
others straight, with which he
shaves not only the face, but the
head, (leaving the queue lock-
neck, and even the inside of the
ears and nostrils. Small tweezers
are used to pull out superduous
hairs between the eye brows in
order to make the job good one.
The Chink gets a close shave, all
right! He does part of the work,
too; for while the barber is at work
the patient holds in his hands a
basin containing the tools.
We are in the heart of China
town. Hundreds of Chinese pass
busily back and forth; some in
heavy silk costumes of many col
ors, others in plain black linen OF
cotton suits, while few wear the
apparel of the white man. topped
by the low crowned, straight
brimmed black felt hat, known as
the "Chiness Stetson." This hat
is the unfailing badge of the gam
hlar hiphhinder and Chinese
