WEAPONS OF cHlMAMEN.
Like Everything Else They Buy They
Must Be of Generous
Size.

When the recent attempt on the
life of a Chinese refOrmer was made
BY his own countrymen the police
found where the Would-be assassins
laid in wait for their victim, a rsVol-
yer with a barrel II inches long, and
near it a hunting knife with blade
six inches long. The circumstance
showed that the Chinaman In Ameri-
ca retains his preference for weapons
Of large size.
1t is not generally known, says the
st. Paul Globe, though the police
know 1t well enough, that Cinnamon
will use only reYolvers or knives Of
formidable appearance. Almost with
out exception every crime In which a
celestial has figured as principal or
accessory In New York has been COM
mitted with a weapon Of this sort. It
is not only true Of New York, but the
fact has also been observed in San
Francisco and other places where the
Chinese population is large.
The Chinaman will invest in no
other weapons, and these rarely being
kept in stock he usually buys his
arms second hand.
The reason for this reference is not
easily explained. The ChinRman says:
ME likee" He certainly does. APP
pGrentIy, though, you can't get him to
realize that q small revolver can be
almost as effective as the large one,
and even If he comedies the truth he
prefers to act with q bigger weapon.
1t impresses as we'll as executes.
A dealer in weapons told this OF his
experience: 1.-THE Cinnamon will buy
only SO or 41-caliber Colt gun or the
like, and the longer the barrel the
better he will Ike it. I'd like to sell
such guns If could get them to cell
second hand. They don't come into
the market, but the Chinese sell them
among themselves They bring al
most SIP apiece. Even when O. China
man is forced to buy cheaper weap-
on he still insists ON long barrel.
He also prefers the steel blue to the
nickel kind, which rust more quickly.
"You see Cinnamon do rot often
shoot, but when they do they mean
business, and they know that this gun
Is effective. 1t requires large bull
let, but it usually kills sure
I'm buying murderous knives the
same thing Is true. They buy only
hunting knives, or stilettos, with
blades about eight or ten inches long.
They pay from rs cents to one dollar
apiece for these When they buy they
usually form a club and get quantity
at time. To compete we have to sell
at wholesale prices, too. l guess
nearly every Chinaman owns a hunt
ing knife; revolYers are less frequent
ly owned"

ing.
Bettina spent a genuinely wakeful
night for the first time in her life
She was up betimes and her pale tear
swollen face almost made her father
relent, but he foresaw greater happi-
ness for her by letting things take
their course. So as soon as breakfast
was over he told her to get her things
on and they started. The servant who
opened the door of the Whitehall man
sion was too we'll trained to show any
surprise as he let them in and asked
them to wait little. Bettina was so
nervous she could not sit down, but
stood watching the door, waiting the
summons to the sick-bed. The servant
appeared presently and asked them to
wait little longer. Bettina's father
told her that he was due at the Office
and now that she was announced he
would leave her. So she was left
alone. Then after what seemed hours
she heard a step and turned toward the
door. What did this mean? 1t was
John, as hearty and well as ever, hold
ing out both hands to Bettina Bettina
sank into the nearest chair.
The servant who came to the door
to call them to breakfast, tip-toed away
without being seen. Bettina was in
Johns arms and was trying to talk be-
tween her sobs.
"Why, dear, it was John Whitehall.
Jr., you know they always call him

awfully glad it brought you back to
me. l didn't see how was going to
get through Thanksgiving without
you" He thought moment, and then
he suddenly said:
81 wonder why your father didn't
tell you'll" Then he remembered
his talk with Bettina's father and a
light broke in on his mind. He laughed
and Betina was forced to laugh with
him.

seats to see Mrs. Fiske Let's telephone
Immediately and tell him So"

WILL USE COcoANUT BUTTER
Compound for the Table to Be Man
ufactured in Several European
Countries.

A new butter is now being made
from the milk of the cocoanut This
milk, when subjected to a tempera-
turo Of over 20 G. runs into q yellow
oil, which IS imported in great Quanti-
ties from India and Africa. The better
qualities of il are obtained from Cey-
lon, Cochin-China and Australia. The
nut produces 60 per cent. Of oil, and
one acre of land planted with cocoa
nut trees would produce over 4OC
pounds Of oil. This has hitherto been
used for fats for soap, or tor ma
chinery oil, and the better qualities
employed in the manufacture Of tex
tile goods, says Worlds Work.
In France this ell is now subjected
to a special treatment. and converted
into butter.
DR.. Keuner, a German chemist, pro-
poses to buy up all the cocoanut oils
and transform them into what he
terms vegetable butter"
The cocoanut butter, like that made
from COWS milk, contains seven per
cent. of soluble acid. 1t will keep
from is to 20 days without showing
any sign Of acid reaction, and it con-
tains from rs to 30 times less water
than ordinary butter, while It's slow
ness in oxidizlng makes it specially
suitable for pastry and cakes, as they
will not get stale so quickly when
made with It as with other butter.
Another advantage claimed for CO..
eoanut butter is that it seems to be an
antiseptic medium. while milk is most
favorable to the culture of microbes
At the Central Hospital Of Vienna,
and In various hospitals IN Switzer-
land, experiments have been made
with this new butter, and che results
have been pronounced satisfactory.

The OLD manner Of taking a bath in
the tub is passing away The spray
bath Is taking its place. The tub bath
Is necessarily less clean than the spray

Bettina'S Romance
BY
CECILIA LoIzEAUx
Copyright, 1904. by Daily Story Pub. co.,

A S TILL days of October moved to-
II ward a close, and the weather
crisped into delightful keenness, Bet
tina remembered that Thanksgiving
was coming. She was sorry, because
she hadn't anything to be thankful for
that is, nothing worth mentioning
OF course she had a home and parents
and plenty of money and pretty clothes
and things like that, but what was the
use of being thankful for these when
one had lost ones fance? Obviously,
no use at all. These were Bettinas
thoughts as she was walking swiftly
along the river road one day in early
November. The keen wind had stung
her cheeks to glowing pink and her
body to tingling warmth. She had
to try very, very hard to feel melan-
choly, in spite of the fact that she had
Just broken her engagement and
wished she hadn't. For she was young,
healthy and Of a merry disposition
Withal. She was little chagrined
when her usually hearty appetite was
as hearty as ever the morning after
she had given John his congo and
spent the night weeping-when she
could keep awake. For he had gone
forever" as he said himself, very
gently and calmly, but firmly. Bettina
prolonged her walk this afternoon till
she was very, very tired and a cold,
unexhilarating twilight set In.
Now twilight is a mournful time to
those who are not In love. Bettina
had always thought so. And for those
who were in love and had no one to
tell about it, it is doubly mournful.
And as Betty trudged on, weary and
persistently melancholy, the glimpses
through un-drawn curtains Of glowing
open fires and seductive cosy-corners
only reminded her anew Of the long
twilight hours with John, alone-the
two of them-in the big, dim library.
Here the tears began to fall and 1t
was very miserable little Bettina
who crept into the house at dark and
up to her room so softly that no one
heard her.
At dinner she was silent, woe-begone
and ate as little food as she possibly
could She caught look which passed
between her father and mother, and
interpreting 1t as sympathetic pity,
pitied herself still more profoundly
than before and left the room sobbing.
Now the look which Bettina had seen
was not Just what 1t seemed to her to
be. And when she had gone her father
began to chuckle little.
at does seem too bad to laugh at the
kid" said he, "but she may as well
learn her lesson now as any time. She
treated John like a three-year-old
child treats its nurse in fit of tenn
per. II l had been in his place I'd
have shaken her and brought her to
slime on her own ground. I talked to

father was somewhere hitting Scotch
and soda, Swiss cheese and English
walnuts. The goldfish near by showed
their Firms, and the Poles OF the globe
in the corner we're distinctly visible.
At length the mother returned, in
her Russian Blue Paris gown trimmed
in Valenciennes, her breath fragrant
with Russian tea, telling the baby he
had been a regular Spartan for wait
ing so patiently while she had been
Roman elsewhere, and declaring she
would never let another Dngo by
without getting him a Canary; that
she had promised it to him, honest
Injun, and she didn't want him to
think she was a Welsher.
Then she gave him Brazil nut and
a piece of tamel favored with Chill
sauce, declared she was colder than
Greenland, called the colored attend
ant o Hottentot and tipped him with
a Canada dime, murmuring something
derogatory to Dutch treats and started
home.
On the way she stopped and ordered
some Brussels sprouts and the ma
terial for a Spanish stew, sampled
some cream Of Tartar and hustled in.
And yet she expects that child to
grow up loyal American.
