UNCLE SANS BABY PRISONER.
How a Chinese Child Has Become a
Ward of the Nation.

How Chinese Child Has Become a
Ward of the Nation.
The youngest prisoner in the United
States is Yute Ho il, aged 5. She has
been a prisoner Of Uncle Sam for more
than four years. The crime for which
she is paying the penalty is the crime
Of being a girl baby, which In China
is a crime indeed. She was born in an
interior village in China and her
mother was very glad to take $40 Of
fered by woman who went there
from San Francisco to buy slave girls
for the San Francisco Chinatown.
The buyer knew her bargain, for
what were the risks of the child's
death to the possible $4,000, $4,000 or
$4,000 she would bring in a dozen
years or SO? She was young enough,
too, to have her feet bound and be
palmed off as Of a better class than
that from which most slave girls
come.
She was happy, this slave dealer,
when she sighted San Francisco on her
return journey, and she shufled easily
along the pier when she left the boat.
The inspectors all knew her, for she
had been back and forth many times.
1t was because they knew her that
they questioned her about the little
bundle in her arms. She told them
the baby was her own, for it is a lie
that comes first to a Chinaman's lips.
This was her undoing. In the court
she added lie to lie, but in the end
the judge know that the baby had not
been born to her. She had no right to
bring it in without papers and she had
not thought Of this.
The infant could not be deported,
because no amount Of questioning
could make the woman reveal the
home Of the child. Besides, the Judge
did not see that the child would be
better off with mother who would
sell her for $40 than with a woman
who would pay that for her. On the
other hand, she could not be entered,
and babies under year are too little
to go to Jail. Az length the judge de
cided to turn his little prisoner over
to mission that makes business of
rescuing Chinese slave women, with
the agreement Of 40 cents a day for
her board. In the four years she has
been az the mission Yute Ho il has
become the pet of the household, and
it seems to be an instance of the pun
ishment fitting the crime.

HORsEWHlPPED THE FARMER.
tomobi1ist Taught an Ugly Man a
Much-Needed Lesson.

MuCn-NeeQcO LcSSOus
The following is told Of an automo-
bilist who stopped at the Palmer
House In this village a night or two
ago. He and his wife and little daugh-
ter are touring the country in leis-
urely manner, stopping wherever night
overtakes them. They left Albany on
the morning Of the day they arrived
In Herkimer. They had covered more
than half the distance to this village
when they met farmer, evidently
one Of those cross-grained individuals
who hates himself and every one else.
The automobilist gave up half the
road and just as he was abreast Of
the farmer tie latter raised his horse
whip and struck a vicious blow at the
driver Of the machine. Els misjudged
the speed Of the car and instead Of
striking the one for whom the blow
was intended, the whip came down
with singing force across the face Of
the latter's little girl, who was riding
with her mother in the tonneau. The
child screamed with pain, and there
upon the brute who struck the blow
applied the whip to his horse and soon
disappeared around a bend in the
road.
But he was not to escape thus cas-
lily. The father Of the child was nat
urally greatly angered over the I'M

teach the tiller Of the soil a lesson.
AS soon as opportunity presented it
self he turned his machine around, put
on speed and in a very few minutes
had overhauled Mr.. Farmer, passed
him and then blocked the highway
with his machine. He then pulled his
revolver and, pointing it at the farm
er's head, made him get out Of his
wagon and hand him his whip.
The automobilist, who is a powerful
man, weighing at least 200 pounds,
then horsewhipped the farmer until he
begged for mercy and promised by all
that is good and holy never to repeat
the offense against him or any one
else. After he had practically worn
out the whip the owner of the ma
chine let up and, giving the now thor
oughly cowed farmer his name and ad-
dress, also the number Of his machine,
and telling him if he ever wanted to
take the case any further he would
let him know where to find him, he
turned his car around and proceeded
on his journey.-Utica Observer.

Watch the Lawmakers.

It is a settled fact that none Of the
family medicines, or patent medi-
cines, would ever have a large sale
unless they gave satisfaction to the
people using them. Standard patent
medicines that were advertised and
sold extensively when the man and
woman of so or more at this time
were boys and girls are yet adver-
tised and sold in large quantities. Had
they possessed no merit thy would
have been forgotten long ago. And
yet certain sensational magazines are
engineering crusade against such
preparations. 1t will be well for the

prived of the right to use family prep

gone to kind Of rest-cure place for
a WHILE" said Mr.. Underfoot to one of
his old friends, while his gaze was
carefully fixed on the distant land
scape.
"Tired out?' inquired the friend.
NO." said Mr.. Underfoot, slowly,
"she wasn't tired out, for she hadn't
done anything to tire her. But she
was always kind Of high-strung, and
toward the last Of it she got real
nervous. One day just happened to
inquire what time dinner was to be
for it had varied about two hours one
way or another-and she was making
molasses gingerbread, and my asking
that question upset her nerves so that
she poured the batter right over me
before could move off. So next day
she went to the rest-cure."
