I'm his article In the Worlds Work

rean commerce amounts to $4,000, 600
II year.
From 1883 to 1903 our imports from
the countries named doubled. while
our exports from China. Japan and
Hongkong amounted to $37 100000; in
1903. to $72,OOO.OOO The amount
from Korea and Asiatic Russia was a
mere trifle. In 1883 our exports to
! these countries. including Korea and
| Asiatic Russia, amounted to $50

This makes clear that our trade in
terest in these quarters is very great.
| We buy very large proportion of the
manufactured silk and practically
all of the tea exported by Japan and
we also buy large quantities of raw
silk aud tea from China. as well as
many other articles. such as opium,
mating, rice, wool and manufactured

HIS DEAR CHILDREN.

Look at his hands, they are knOtted;
See how his shoulders are bent;
In toiling and gathering riches
All of his years have been spent:
Striving for gain has deformed him.
But great is the wealth he has won
To leave to his care-free daughter
And give to his polished son.
And they blush for shame Mt the manner
In which their father began.
For she has maid to attend her
And Reggie possesses man.
From that which the world thinks is
pleasure.
He has steadily turned aside:
All of his wit and his power
To gaining have been applied,
The poor little shop where he started
Stands idle beside the way,
And the papers are publishing pictures
And stories thereof to-day;
He shaves himself in the morning
And saves wherever he can
A French maid dresses his daughter
And Reggie possesses man.
He is proud to think that his children
Have right to the pride they show
He is proud of the way he has risen,
OF the start he made long ago:
And they are impatiently waiting
To build him monument.
To buy the old shop and destroy ii
And boast of a proud descent
For his hands are knotted and clumsy.
Showing us how he began
A maid serves his glorious daughter
And Reggie possesses man.

is no danger of the rod breaking
