when Mr.. Bowser declared that Jonah
instead of Daniel was cast into the
lions den and had to take it back on
the family Bible. There was a sus-
picion in the mind of the cat that some
thing would be doing, and he kept his
eye out for squalls, and until the other
evening he lodged all dangers. Then
Mr.. Bowser came home to announce
that he was going a-fiShing next day,
and after dinner he got out a tangle
of hooks and lines and sat down at the
dining room window to straighten
them out. While he was at work Mrs.
Bowser ran into the home of a neigh

TEAS THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In China s
Show at the Worlds Fair---The Most
POpulOus Nation of the World Fer
the First Time Makes an Exhib;
Worthy of Her Greatness.

Many eXpOsitiOns of stupendous char
acter make up the Worlds Fair of
1904. Each part is a vast and distinct
show. Each building shelters many
acres of wonderful things wonderful
because they are the choicest of their
kind. Every nation OH the globe is
represented. Every state and territory
is here with its best and making the
most of its greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not been a
large exhibitor at worlds fairs gives
to her great exhibit here a prominence
quite exceptional. 1t is a wonderland
of ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason of her extensive
exports of teas, which have found a
vast market in the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her TO make dis
play of teas that we should not for
get.
In sealed glass jars China displays in
the Liberal Arts Palace some 1.2O0
kinds of tea. Young Tyson and Old
Iayson have a string of tea relations
longer than the genealogical chain of u
Plymouth Rock. They are neatly Sc
lected CHOPS" in the language of the
tea farmer, and these classes do not
embrace medicinal teas, which are
quite another lot in the rather modest
number of 400
The teas exhibited vary in price from
a few cents n pound to some rare and
exclusive kinds that are worth their
weight in gold, the tea in the latter
cases being placed on one side of the
scales and pure gold on the other
that is to say, the tea of this expensive
kind is worth about $50 gold an ounce.
Only a very small quantity of this cX-
elusive leaf is exhibited, and it is
grown in carefully guarded tea planta-
tons or gardens right under the shad-
Ows of the great wall of China. Its Gull
tivation is prohibited for any use save
for the imperial family of China and a
few of the favored high officials.
Mention has been made of the word
Chop in connection with tea, and it
may be interesting to the everyday
reader to know what the word actually
signifies. The tea leaf is grown in va
rious districts of the Chinese empire on

whole country no end of amusement

Winchester during the night following

twenty miles between that point and

as that of Sheridan's famous gallOp
when he rode down to save the day,
just month later.
In his retreat Early followed the old
beaten path of the valley pike, road
which witnessed more wild army pam

America, aiming for Strasburg. the
next defensible position. Just south
of Strasburg the Massanutten mountain

bluff. Here Early halted, with the hill
protecting his right flank. The Fed
eral cavalry division of General Wesley
Merritt followed sharp on Early's train
from Winchester and on the morning
of Sept. 20 struck his outposts along
Tumbling run.
Sheridan's march up the historic
pike from his victorious battlefield was
what might be expected of a vigilant
commander operating in region noted
for war surprises. The infantry corps
of Wright, Emory and Crook followed
in the wake of Merritt's troopers, and
the cavalry divisions of James II. Will
son and Averell took the side roads on
the right and left to guard the TANKS.
The whole of the Goth passed in get
ting the infantry to the front, and that
night the Federal outposts were in the
northern limits of the town of StraS-
burg and the Confederates in the south
ern portion. Early's army was weaker
than when Sheridan met it on the
Opequan by the 1000 casualties suf-
fered there. Besides he had lost General
Rodes, killed; General Fitz Lee, wound
ed, and General Breckenridge detached
for duty elsewhere. Yet he was con-
fident of holding Sheridan off at Fish
er's hill, for the guns he had posted
there commanded the pike for Il long
distance, his TANKS were guarded by
cavalry, and the two days and nights
of grace which Sheridan allowed him
were used in terrifying his left flank,
which rested in the broad valley on
the west
Sheridan occupied the whole day
Sept. 81 in placing his three corps of
infantry in position for assault. At
nightfall he advanced his pickets
through the town of Strasburg and
drove the Confederate skirmishers back
to the defenses of Fishers hill. The
morning of the ODD disclosed fresh de-
lenses of earth, stone and abatis pre-
pared during the night by Early's
troops. Sheridan didn't trust to staff
reports, but rode himself from one end
Of the picket line to the other. He
found height north of Tumbling run,
which commanded Early's main posi-
ton, and this was carried and held
after sharp fight. Guns We're planted
on the height after a night of tedious
labor.
In spite of his success in gaining the

When the convention was on the
point of calling the roll on the nomi
nation of vice president the dele
gates were thrown into a furore by the
announcement that Judge Parker re-
fused the nomination unless he and
the convention could come to a har-
monious understanding on the money
question. In the telegram conveying
this information the nominee gives eX-
preston to his views and they were
submitted to the convention. The sen.
timent among many delegates was de-
cidedly anti-Parker. But for this
bombshell there was every indication
that Senator Turner of Washington
might have been nominated for vice
president on the first or second ballot.
