 '1'll swim you a match to the other side," said the king. 'it's go," said dad, and they started porpoising across the little lake, and then I thought 1t was time there was something doing, so I got busy and tied their clothes in knots so tight you couldn't get them united without an act of parliament. They went ashore on the opposite side of the lake, cause some women were driving through the grounds. and then I found flock of goats grazing on the lawn, and the dog and drove them to where the clothes were tied in knots. and when the goats began to chew the clothes l took the dog and went back to the entrance of the park. and dad and the king swan back to where the clothes and the goats were, and when they drove the goats away and couldn't unite the knots the king gave the grand hailing sign of distress. or some- thing, and the guards of the palace and some cavalry came on the run. and the park seemed filled with an army, and l bid tho dog good-by and went back to the hotel alone, and waited for dad.

 Did you have a good time. dadT' says I, and he said, Haven't you gos any respect for age, condemn you. The king has ordered that you be fed to the animals in the zoo."
 I told him that I dodn't care what they did with me, had been brought up to tic knots in clothes when I saw people in swimming, and I didn't care whether they were crowned heads or just plain dubs, and I asked dad how they got along when their clothes were chewed up. He said the soldiers GOV" cred them with ponchos and got them to the palace. and they had supper. he and the king, and the servants brought out a lot of clothes and he got the best fit he could.
 I asked him if the king was actually mad, and he said no, that he always enjoyed such things, and wanted dad and to come the next day and go fish, ing with him, barefooted.

acouainted with the colony was a Jesuit Priest, Father Riccl, stationed at Pektn at the commencement of the seventeenth century. A visit was paid to him by a native of Kay-Fung- Foo, who had come to Pekin for literary n,Irposes. He had been attracted to Father Ricci by the stories of his teach ings and the representations or Mary and the saints, to which he showed respect, and to the native these appear ed Identical with the Old Testament nersonages with whom as Jew he was acquainted. In 1913 the colony was visited by another Jesuit, Julius AIeni. probably the first European to come into personal contact with the ancient community. It was about this date also that the Jewish population of Ranking, consisting of four families is stated to have embraced Mahometan- ism. In 1642 floods again overlook the city. and the synagogue, as well as other buildings, were once more des- troyed. ,.
 In 17O4 Father Gozani, a Jesuit mis- sionary. visited the settlement Ac- cordinR to this traveller the settlers

 in their country, and gained the favor of their Emperor. One of these in- scriptions, that dates back to the be- 1inninR of the sixteenth century, re- cords the high estimation in which the Fmperor of that day held his Jewish suhiects. on account of their integrity and fidelity in the magistracy, in the army, in agriculture, in commerce. ana in the due observance of their religion.
 They had great respect for the name of Confucius, and in accordance with the custom of the land they canonized their ancestors. In other respects their religious observances agreed with those that are universal among Jews' wherever settled. In their synagogue the worshippers covered their faces with transparent wells, as, they said, Moses did after his descent from the mountain. On the Sabbath they light ed no fire, and all their meals were pre- pared on the previous day. The covenant of Abraham was not forgot ten. They married only among them selves. They attempted to make no proselytes. Their synagogue was, ao- eorling to the Jesuits' account, but ap- parently in a style similar to the temple. It was situated in an open place and included within it's precincts a Holy Place and Holy of Holies. The latter. in which the books of the law were kept, was only entered by the high priest. the most striking portion of wbose uniform was a scarlet silk

suces.. Ont of Failure.

Col. John T. Mosby. famous Con eederate scout in the civil war. now an efhcient special agent of the depart nent of justice, said one day in Wash ington, according to the Kansas City Journal, apropos of success:
 "The other morning I met Blank, hurrying along in his brisk. energetic way, the hopeful light still shining from his eyes, and the confident smile still playing about his firm mouth.
 My heart went out in pity to Blank. He was hard worker. very hard worker. yet in everything he un- dertook he failed. Three times in the last ten years Blank had failed in business.
 "so I stopped the poor fellow and shook him by the hand.
 "Blank,' said I. 1t Is too bad. With all your push, you don't seem to suc- ceed.'
 "I cont, eh? Blank replied. Haven't I made a success of my sew eral failures?

Britl.h View of Paul Jones.

The Pail Mall Gazette.
 John Paul, the Kjrkcudbright mar ket gardners son. who elected to be famous as Paul Jones, has long ceased to be the interesting parsonage he was in the eyes of the naval atNhort- ties of this country when, in com- mand of a rotten ex-East Indiaman, known as thS Due de Duras and re- ohristened the Bonhomme Richard, he was holy terror in the Firth of the Forth, and when he had engaged and capturedJa British frigate in British waters after one of the most singu- lar sea combats on record.
 The sometime "blackbirder" and smuggIer whom the Russian Gather inc decorated and advanced somewhat per saltum to tlte grade of Admiral was a traitor, of course, in the view of the British government, but none the less a thorough seaman of quite unusual talent and originality, with a bulldog courage and tenacity to match The Capt.

 The king brightened up and told dad he had a pond in the palace grounds. stocked with old fashioned fish, and every day he took off his shoes and rolled up his pants. and with nothing on but a shirt, and pants held up by one suspender of striped bed ticking he went out in a boat and fished as he did when a boy, with bent pin Tor a hook' ard be was never so happy as whom so engaged. and they could all have their grand functions and balls and dinners and Turkish baths, if they wanted them, but give him the old swimming

Dad wrote to the king and said he was distinguish ed American travelling for his health, and had a niece who had frequently visited Belgium with an opera com pany, and she had spoken of the king, and dad wanted to talk over matters that might be of interest both to Bell gium and to America. Well, the mes- senger boy came back and said dad couldn't get to the palace a minute too quick, and so we went over. and as we were going through the park we saw

 an old man in citizens clothes, sitting on a bench, batting the head of a boar hound, and when he saw us he said: Come here, Uncle Sam, and let my dog chew your pants.'
 Dad thought 1t must be some lunatic. and was going to make a sneak and get out, when the man rose up and we saw 1t was the king, and we went up to him and sat down on the bench, and he asked dad if he had come as a relative of the opera singer. to commence suit against the king for breach of promise, or to settle for a money consideration. remarking that he had always rather pay cash than to have any fuss made about these little matters. Dad told him he had no claim against him for alienating anybodys affections, or for breach of promise. and that all he wanted was to have @ little talk with the king and find out how a king lived, and how he had any fun in running the king business. at his age, and they sat down and began to talk as friendly as two old chums, while the dog played tag with me. We found the king was a regular boy, and that instead of his mind being occupied by affairs of state, or his African concessions with Congo country, where he owns few million slaves who steal ivory for him. and murder other tribes, he was enjoying life just as he did when he was a bare footed boy, fishing for perch at the old mill pond, and when he mentioned his career as boy, and his enjoyments. dad told about his youth. and how he never

 In 1915 a letter was delivered to the leading members of the community as KaI- Flung Foo, but unfortunately. the messenger left immediately without awaiting a reply. After the opening of the treaty ports. in 1S42, James Finn, the British Consul at Jerusalems who was interested in this lost rem nant wrote two books on the subjecka collecting all the information then known. Consul Finn also made res peated efforts to get into communfca~ ton with the colony, and at length, m 1870, succeeded in getting letter in reply to one sent by him to the Jewisn colony twenty years earlier. Ih9 opening of the treaty ports was the signal for efforts In other directions also. The London Missionary Society got into communication with Kai-Fun@ Foo, and found the colony in a very precarIous condition.

The giving OF railway passes by
the managers of the roads is not IN
itself censurable act. The feature
of the practice that is reprehensible
is this: Men of influence solicit
these passes and as consequence
the railroad in favoring them expect
some favors in return. The conces-
sion Influences the beneficiary of the
pass favolsb to the road. Cover
nors, judges, statesmen, cabinet Off
GERS and lesser officials with leading
politicians ask for these passes. A
refusal to grant them has its effects
in determining the disappointed men
to oppose concessions to the corpora
tons. This in the nature of things.
These men who solicit passes give
nothing in return but good will and
such aid in legislation as they might
be able to secure. They are the
very ones to whom passes ought not
to be given. They are abundantly
able to pay for their transportation
and they travelin their own interest.
