TRADE CHANCES IN CHINA.
Enormous Opportunities Which Of Late

Have Attracted Attention.
The vast opportunities offered for
the extension of foreign trade in the
great empire of China are already hav-
ing their effect on the Imagination of
those interested. Estimates of the
value Of orders that China is now in
a position to give put it at fabulous
sums, but as matter of fact one part
of China. the southeast, with an area
of 100000 square miles, would de-
mand railroad network of 1856, ,410
miles, of which Germany, England,
France, Belgium and the United States
would construct 37,2S2 miles each,
work worth s1,42S,0OO,00O would fall
to each of these countries.
There would be a demand for at
least 50,000,000 tons of steel and iron,
an order large enough, when properly
divided, to aid in keeping the worlds
iron and steel industries profitably en-
ployed for fifty years. 1t is hardly
necessary TO take the trouble to prove
estimates of this kind. For even if
one makes allowances for overesti-
mates there is still enough to war
rant hopes expressed. Railroads are
not the only works that give promise.
There are other great transportation
systems. such as telegraph wires ami
poles, to be erected, bridges to be
built, rivers to be regulated, bars III
rivers and harbors to be removed and
hundreds of public works that will
need foreign materials, many of
which can never be carried out unless
by the aid of foreign machinery.

Go and Get Hurt.

"Ive been in the accident insurance
business just four days" said the dys-
peptic-looking man. I've written six
policies, and already two of the people
have put in claims. It's funny thing
what effect an accident policy seems
to have on some people. They will
live for thirty-five or forty years and
never get scratch. Just let them get
one of my double-action policies and
they go at once and get hurt. man
seems to think an accident policy is
a thing to keep him from getting hurt
and that no matter what he does or
where he goes he is safe. One man
asked me the other day If there would
be any danger to him in taking out
the policy. l was afraid of the risk
and told him he was certain to be
killed.
ITS a strange way for people to
lock at the thing, but they do. and

job of selling washing powder to un.

Death of Thomas Dale.

In 1911 Sir Thomas Dale was sucS
ceeded by Sir Thomas Gates, subse-
quently was placed in command of
the East India fleet, and died fighting
the Dutch near Bantam, in the East
Indies.
Reference to Sir George Somers re-
calls the fact that historic interest
from British and American alike SO
far as the Bermudas are concerned,
centers around his death. Over the
tomb in which his heart lies buried
there is an inscription recording the
fact and stating that the worthy ad-
miral and colonizer of the Bermudas
lost his life in carrying help to the "in-
fant and suffering" colony now known
as the State of Virginia. In full the

In Memory OF
of
RICHARD SUTHERLAND DALE,
Eldest Son of Commodore Richard
Dale OF Philadelphia. in the u. S.
of America. and Afidshipman

He departed this life at st. Georges,
Bermudas. on the 22nd day of
February. A. d. 1875. aged 20
years 1 month & II days.
He lost his right leg In an engage
ment between the y. S. Frigate
President and a squadron of his
Britannia Majesty's Ships
of War on the 18th of
January. A. ID. 1915.
His confinement caused a severe COM

time terminated his life.

Commodore Dale Honored.
Unlike those OF his son the lnortal
remains of Commodore Richard Dale
lie at rest in Christ churchyard, Phil
adelphia, and over them has been set
a monument which may well be the
pride of every patriot, on which one
''can read the lay" modestly told, of
his achievements.
1t was on the deck of the U. S.
frigate President, then in command G.
Commodore Decatur, that Richard
Sutherland Dale, his son, fell, serious
ly wounded, in an engagement with
the British ship of war Endymion.
During this fight Dale gallantly took
the place of gunner whose head
had been blown off by a shot fred
chase guns, determined to at
least avenge the death of this
messmate. After two hours de-
sultory firing, in which neither
vessel did the other much harm,
the Endymion sailed abreast of the
President and both vessels fred broad
sides almost simultaneously. The cries
of the wounded were deadened by the
crash of falling timbers. Bulwarks
were shattered and guns dismmantled;
men lay groaning above and between
the decks of both vessels. But Dale
was spared, the god of war had
watched over him. And when the Or
der was given to fire SO as to disman-
tie the enemy, a shot from Dale's gun
struck the Endymion's mainmast and
few moments later 1t went by the
board.

A MONG the several family parties en-
n route to the Pacific Coast in a
tourist" car not long ago was one con-
sisting of father, mother and three chill
dren. The youngest child was a bright
eyed, restless little girl of five, who soon
made herself thoroughly at home with
everybody in the car, going from one
section to another at her own pleasure
and contributing largely to the entertain
ment of the train-weary travellers.
Little Miss Busy" they called her, and
she certainly was the busiest wee woman
that ever kept a carful of all kinds of
people on the move.
Through New Mexico and Arizona a
number of cowboys and Indians came
into the car and sat apart from the
through passengers, in seats given up to
their kind AS soon as settled in their
seats, each in turn was visited and closely
inspected by Miss Busy, Fearlessly she
shook hands with the forbidding-
redmen and perched contentedly on the
knee of one and then another of the big
cattle men.
At one of the first stations on entering
California four Cinnamon entered the car
and took UP quarters as remote from the
other occupants as possible, where they
snapped novels among themselves, after
their own peculiar manner, to all APP
pearances utterly oblivious of the pres
ence of others in the car. Not long were
they left to themselves Little Miss Busy
soon was in their midst, round-eyed with
wonder over their talk and queer dress.

rate, she proceeded with utmost COM
posture to learn all possible concerning
the two, tlee ittee baby gals" over in
China She came and went among the
passengers with preoccupied manner,
something of great import engaging her
mind. Quietly she slipped about, escap-
ing the attention of everybody, and not
until the Cinnamon left the car did the
secret of her sly missions come out.
Filing out singly, as is their manner of
travelling in company, the Cinnamon, with
the papa of the 'ittee gal, China side"
in the rear, left the car at one of the
principal stations along the line. When
they reached the platform there arose a
turnult of mirth, in which everyone in
sight soon joined. Papa Chinaman was
the perplexed center of the commotion,
when one of his companions with laugh
seized the bewildered "chink's" queue,
which he had neglected to rearrange
when he left the car, and threw it over
his shoulder Catching it in his hand
Papa John held the "pigtail" aloft, and
a good-natured grin broke over his face
'Hi-yah!" he gurgled, catching sight of
little Miss Busy's laughing face at the
car window. "Littee baby gal makee
Chinaman all same foolee! Me ketchee
you. takee you China side way off,
All the way down his long queue at in
tervals of few inches there were knots
of doll ribbons of every hue and color,
surreptitiously tied there by the busy
little girl as the neatly braided appendage
hung down over the back of the car seat.
Waving his gaudily decorated head-tail
before him, the jolly Chinaman marched
proudly away with his friends, turning
at every few steps to shake the berib-
boned queue at the tiny author of the
joke, and calling back: Me ketchee
you, takee you China side!" receiving
for answer wave of the baby hand.
