quite proficient, but universal ia

became necessary for the Superintend-

Sam for some prank. and he was
taken out of the office for several
days. When he entered the Office on

an ovation from his brother typos. and
said:
Fellows, come here. I want to tell

UnweIcome Chinese.

Bathoen, chief of all the Bang
waketse tribes of British Bechuana
land, has sent to the colonial secre
tary at London a remarkable protest
against the importation of Chinese
labor into the Transvaal.
In 1t the Bangwaketse chief calls
the attention of the British colonial
Office to the fact that the natives OF
South Africa get their living by work.
ing in the diamond and gold mines,
and he asks:
IF the Chinese come into South
Africa, what will become of us?"
With the money earned in the mines,
he says, the natives feed and clothe
their children and pay the hut tax;
and If these Asiatics," as he calls
them. are allowed to come into South
Africa it will be an exceedingly grave
matter.
Poverty" he declares, will be
great, and the government will not be
able to get the hut tax from any
of us, as there will be no work for
u.s." He. therefore, is opposed to the
importation of Chinese into South
Africa.

MIX Caused Wrinkles.

young man, II shall never forget the
swarm of them that overlook my

were as big as sparrows. Why, ten
minutes after. they came down on us
they had carried away every inch of

COIN. FISHING.

II you're waking in the morning, call me
early, mother, dear,
For Peanuts Fink and Spider Brown and
Bricktop will be here.
And we know where the fishes swim and
where the shade is cool,
And where's a dandy diving place beside
the swimming pool.
I've brung the kindlings in, mother, you
wanted me to chop;
I've filed the woodbox till the wood is
spilling Ger the top;
I've curried all the horses as my father
babe me do;
I've MIXED the COWS, and stopped the
pigs, and fed the chickens, too.
I've weeded out the onion bed and banked
the celery,
And I've transplanted cabbage plants and
propped the apple tree,
And I've sailed all the sheep and fixed the
chicken coop,
And run all the errands, mother, till felt
my spirits droop.
so, il you're waking early, call me early,
mother, dear.
For / know where the Cravings play and
where the pools are clear.
And I've dug Ill the worms | want and
cut an alder pole
And corlls will bob tomorrow morn in that

She tripped home, through the dusk,
laughing to herself at the discount

and Mr. John G.. Smith were sitting
cozily together over the fire when she
returned, and as she passed through
the room, she only paused to throw
her arms round Violet's neck, and
whisper:

Whose life is worn TO shreds by fate's

Must pay the price the fool is bound
to pay.

round,
Twas there the village loafer could be
found.
He'd loll all day about the shady
green,
He'd pump pail of water for your

And, with the dime fast clutch'd he
would careen
Where Perkins helped promote the

Where does he dwena No stranger ever

Upon a troubled sea of circum-

He's but a battered hulk; twill be no

When he slips out beyond the break

small glass of wine to one of the
guests a deaf mute gentleman hap

wife's skirt The wife is also a deaf
mute, and it was evident that she took
the mishap in a rather. irritable way.
She wrinkled up her forehead and
at once made a series of remarkably
swift movements with her nimble fin
gers. The husband, looking exceed
lngly apologize, made a few motions
in return.
One of the guests, who had noticed
this little by-play, slyly slipped out a
bit of paper, and penciIing something
on it handed it to friend.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive so
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin, as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails, and when the air is
excluded the germ is aroused to activ-
ity and produces the most virulent
poison known. These germs may be
destroyed and all danger of lockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain s
