Chinese Girl Reporter.

Margaret Jessie Chung, who dresses,
talks and studies as an American girl,
Notwithstanding the fact that she is
chinese, desires to enter the newspaper
work. Miss Chung intends to become
a reporter.
This ambitious young woman was Just
nc Years old one week ago last Monday.
She is constant reader Of books and
papers, so much so that her friends have
called her "bookworm." She speaks
English fluently as well as Chinese
Though but in the seventh grade in the
public schools, she talks the language
with an ease and accuracy in terms ex-
celled by few American girls of the
saem age.
Nor IS she a young woman OF one
idea. Besides her wish TO write she is
teaching English in the Chinese colony.
in addition TO this she has been secre-
tary Of the Mylcreest Memorial Union.
of Mylcreest Church, for nearly year.
Miss Chung is thoroughly American
in spirit, in dress and ambition. There
IS an American air about the modest
home Of her parents, out at 224O East
Seventh street, that suggests that the
entire family are ripe for citizenship.
When Herald reporter expressed sur
prise at all these evidences of American
spirit in Chinese family, Miss Chung
smiled pleasantly and said "Chinese
people can progress as well as other peo-
pie and will do so when given chance.
China will no doubt gradually awaken
and take to the ways of the most pro.
Fressive nations. The Empire has been

ager Empress, but patriotic Chinese all
over the world are taking steps toward
modern methods in China"
All this apears to be creditable dis
course for girl of IS of any national.

FAT MEN LIKE THIS BERTH.
Congressman Wants Lowering of Unpaid
for Upper Berths Stopped.

Washington, Dec. IA bill imposing
A fine Of 500 and imprisonment for
thirty days on any sleeping car porter
who puts down an upper berth that has
not been engaged and paid for, has been
introduced in the House by Representa-
tive Brownlow.
Mr.. Brownlow weighs nearly 800
pounds, and when he lies on his back
he projects 50 far upward that the up
per berth comes within painful proximity
of his stomach.
Il always travel in lower BERTH
he said to friend inqniring about the
bill, "and Of course if anyone buys the
upper berth | don't object to its being
made up; but it is an outrage for a
railroad company to put that lid on
fellow just Tor the fun Of the thing"
All the fat men in Congress who have
long distances to travel in getting from
their homes to the capital consider the
bill as of more importance than the
rebate question.

With the hoped for establishment Of

a practical response to its repeated soli-
citations of freer treatment of American
Hebrews, and may be in position to
exert efficient good influence toward the
liberal treatment of all Jews in Russia

sequences of deep-lying racial antagon.

THE cENrLER SEX.

IF women are more economical than
men, observes a periodical that moulds
its columns with a view to instructing
and entertaining the fair sex, "it is to
be wondered at. Why should they be 7"
it inquiries, and it goes on to explain
that in these days of department stores,
when wares are displayed in fascinat-
ing fashion that is irresistible, when
clerks are patient and obsequious and
merchants attentive and fiattering, fem
mime shoppers and bargain hunters are
beset with temptations on every side.
Nevertheless, there is reason for beliey-
ing that women are more economical
than men in many directions; and the
average woman can readily explain why
she should be more economical. She has
to go through fire and water to get
money to spend. The head, or the al
legged head, of the household, may have
to work hard for his money; but he
doesn't have to sleep with one eye open
waiting for ii to fall out Of his own
pockets in order to lay hands on it.
Furthermore, when the people who en-
ploy him pay him what he earns they
do not remind him that they gave him
several dollars last week or last month;
they don't wonder what he does with
his money and fret and fume because
il has disappeared. Frequently even
the rich woman who has inherited a
fortune finds it difficult to keep her
purse filed unless she has the good
sense to remain single. If she has mar
ried a stern, pompous, astute man of
affairs who is taking care of her in
yestments for her, she il lucky if she
doesn't have to beg or borrow ia order
to pay cash for yeast cake. IL she
has a show husband somebody to carry
her dog and check the trunks, the case
is different, of course. She gives him
an eye on him. But for the most part
money doesn't come easy with women,
and it is singular that they let it go
as cheerfully as they do. And if some
of them are accounted extrayagant, they
can prove that they are more economi-
cal than men. They rarely pour their
money down their throats--or didn't
until they acquired the ice-cream soda
habitand they don't burn it. They
have something to show for it--generaI-

chases. A woman goes home with pack

vision of the Supreme Court yesterday
afternoon decided to appeal in the case

The case, which is by far the most
interesting on the docket of the present

heard at the January term, 1904.
The original case was an appeal from
a decision Of the probate court on the
ground that the document presented was
not the last viii and testament of the
deceased. In county court, where the
appeal from the decision Of the probate
court was heard, a verdict was rendered
in favor of the legatee, Ella Burgess.
