TUOl SAW THE POSTER.


Moy, and his wife and all hands are sat-
isfied.
All Moy bought his wife ten years ago
for $500. Six almond-eyed cherubs had
come to bless their home up to last week.
Four were boys and two were girls.
Then Mrs. All Moy presented her lord
and master with another girl. This was
too much for All Moy.
Two girls may be tolerated in we'll
regulated Chinese household, but three
is a crowd and not to be endured. So
All Moy put on his thinking cap and
smoked. AS the blue wreaths assembled
he began to smile. He saw way out
Of the difficulty. He would not throw
the unwelcome visitor into the river as
he might have done had he been In
China. He would sell her instead.
He knew there were many celestials
in Chinatown who would be glad to have
a girl baby if they only knew where to
get one. So he initiated the Mclean
man who has anything to sell. He adj
vertised. A proclamation was posted
IN CuludLOWu duiOuHCAUS ludt N1A 0Lu
Mrs. All Moy had a charming girl baby
for sale, and prospective purchasers
could find her at No. IS Mott street.
Lee Tuoi saw the advertisement and
after bordering over it awhile shufled
around to the All Moy home. He looked
over the baby and was pleased. Then he
made an offer, which was accepted. The
purchase price, however, has not been
announced.
Lee Tuoi took the baby around to his
rooms and called in several priests from
the josshouse, who shaved the infants
forehead as sign that the purchaser
took her, not as slave, but as his own
child.
Then there was celebration, in
which fireworks and opium and feast
figured prominently. Everybody con-
cerned was happy, and Mrs. All Moy felt
no pang as the baby crowed in Leo
Tuoi's face and tried to pull his spare
mustache.

CURE FOR INEBRIETY.
Tried with Good Results On q Dis
sipated Young Fellow ~
Pittsburg Magistrate.

Magistrate Joseph H. Vichest ain, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch, is wise man,
who would have had Solomon eclipsed
40 ways had the late deceased been so
fortunate as to have been a resident of
Pittsburg. Magistrate Vichestain has
been grievously troubled for the past
year by a young man of good family who
persisted in clinging to the cup that
cheers until the patrol wagon and cell
became a part of his weekly routine.
Magistrate Joe tried every means at his
command to save the youth, but his ef-
forts were fruitless.
About five weeks ago Vichestain was
in the South Side station when his in

quest and while he was eating she con-
tinued her work with the glassware.
Suddenly the stranger whipped out an
ugly-looking revolver, and, pointing the
weapon at Mrs. Shipley, Remarked:
"Give me the money in the TILL" Upon
hearing this the two young men ran
out, leaving the woman alone with the
tramp Mrs. shipley answered the
would-be robber: "All right" and
walked toward the money till, the tramp
following several steps behiGd. She
reached in as if for the money, but her
hand reappeared graspipg revolver,
with which she began shooting at the
tramp. He was so surprised that he
dropped his revolver and ran out OF the
door, Mrs. Shipley continuing to shoot
in his direction as long as her revolver
would respond, but failing to send bull
let home.
After placing her own weapon in the
till she picked up the revolver dropped
by the tramp, only to find every cham
Der empty. Then she went back to her
work as if nothing had happened.
It was some little time before the
farmers gathered and offered to pursue
the tramp, but Mrs. Shipley said he
would long remember his escape from
her, and that there was no danger OF
return by him. Her husband, upon be-
ing made acquainted with the circum-
stances, reported that he met stran-
ger several miles distant as he was re-
turning home, still walking rapidly.

THE MONEY WAS GONE.

thought of thieves, but not of the rodent
description, and was therefore quite
particular in selecting a hiding place.
A few days later she thought she would
take look at her hidden treasure, with
the view of assuring herself that the
money was where she had hidden it, but
on going to the place her surprise can
easily be imagined when, on placing her
hand where the money ought to have
been, she discovered that it was gone.
Matters remained in that condition
up to a few days ago, when, hearing a
rat travelling around the house. the idea
struck her that rats were the real pur-
loiners Of her money. Going to work
with a vim, she was not long in ripping
up two or three planks from the floor
of one of the rooms of the house, and, in
shutting close search, was greatly
elated to find that rodents had actually
stolen the money, packed it away and
made cozy bed of it, for there it was
before her eyes. Every bill VAS found
intact, not a dollar missing.

He thought he heard feminine voice
inquire If some one was warm, and then
heard the patter of bare feet in the
hall. He stretched himself with SILVER
that shook the bed. Gee whiz," he
muttered, Il must have forgotten to
open my register" With mighty ef-
fort of will and not much else he jumped
from his bed and CROPPED along the wall
snntil his hand came in contact with a
piece of cold iron. 1t was the register
1t was open, but the genial warmth
which should have been pouring out was
a stream Of air at zero temperature.
Burner had turned blue by that time,
but he was game. He lighted lamp and
looked at the register. He hardly knew
what he expected to discover, but he
felt that an investigation was demanded.
The register looked just as usual, but
1t certainly was delivering cold air. Bur
ner dove into bed and considered, but
his discomfort was condition to be
met, and not theory. He get out and
began to hustle into his clothes.
What are you doing, John?" called
a sleepy voice.
Going to the fire." he responded.
Where is it,"
'Out."
As Burner started the fire afresh he
found that he had neglected to close the
draft, and the career of the nights sup
ply of fuel had been brief but glorious.
The young ladies are still there and need
only speak of sleeping three in bed
to cast Burner into the slough of de-
~spOnd."

A natural market basket is carried

able an observer to discover that on the

of stiff hairs on the surface, the hairs

to form a sort of cage. This is the bees

There is an old saying that cats are en-

WAR AND AFTERWARD
What the Effects OF the Strug-
gle viii Develop.
FOR CONTROL OF CHINA
That Is The Real Cause of War
in the Orient.

New York, March 24.-Under the title
'The War and After" Henry Norman, NJ
P, discusses the probable after effects of
the Russo-Japanese war in the forthcom-
ing number of Worlds Work.
He says that ii is most important that
one fact should be clearly realized: that
lit is fight for the control of China.
Korea and Manchuria are subordinate OF
indirect issues. The real object is predom-
inant influence in Pekin. bringing with it
the ultimate domination of the tar east,
and in the future the headship of all tbs
Asiatic races"
He points out the probability of wal

In conclusion. L will venture upon one

One might get up q dictionary of Rus

damning fact is this: The outrages re-
ported are not attributed to the vicious
ness Of single individuals or bands OF out

the Russian army as a body; they were
quite generally committed by the Cars

MASONS OF THREE LODGES
GATHER AT JOINT BANQUET

For the first time in the history of
Masonry in the Hawaiian Islands all
three lodges in Honolulu joined to-
gether last night at the Royal Hawai-
ian Hotel in a general installation ban
quet. More than two hundred Masons
sat down to the banquet, representing
Hawaiian, Pacific and Lodge LIE Pro-
gres lodges, and there were also visit
ing brethren present.
1t was a great gathering and marked
a new departure in the history of the
lodges. Formerly, after installations.
each lodge had its own banquet. The
effect of the joint gathering last night
was to bring the members of each lodge
into closer relations with each other.
The main dining hall of the Hawaiian
Hotel had several long tables and
there was such an overflow of guests
that Manager Church was compelled to
hastily set another table. When all
were seated the dining room was COM
pletely filled.
The early part of the banquet was de-
