THE CHINESE BOYCOTT.

And now China proposes to boycott
American goods because we exclude the
celestials from entering cur domain.
This may seem a very small matter to
many people, but it may be extremely
serious. China has a considerable por-
ton of the earth's population and we
have been figuring on building up a
big foreign trade in that quarter. The
Chinese will trade with somebody, and
if not with US it will be with some of
our competitors. China is our neigh
Dor on the west and there is no nat
ura1 reason why she should not use
a large amount of our products.
But China does not propose to buy
them if we insist on our closed door
policy to Cinnamon. It appears as
though the Chinese exclusion question
is to become more important than ever
before, in the near future Already
some of the Pacific coast people are ad-
vocating Japanese exclusion as well as
Chinese exclusion, while other people
are advocating an open door policy
for China as well as in China.
It is an absolute certainty that null
titudes Of the Chinese would be unde-
sirable immigrants. So are the multi
tudes of those who come to our shores
from Europe. The trouble seems to be
in our regulations for admitting impi-
grants. We probably ought to admit
some Chinese and shut out a vast num-
Der OF the hordes that are now coming
to US from southern and eastern Eu-
rope. We ought to establish certain
/ qualifications for immigrants besides
| those of race or nationality.
! China could not object if we put her
/ people on the same plane as those of
other nations The Chinese do not
adopt American ways as readily. as the
Japs. nor do they become American
/ citizens as do many Of the Japanese
but if the same standards were set I'D
for both nations, we would doubtless
receive a better class of Cinnamon than
those who have come to US in the past.

Good for Her.

It is very wrong for one woman to
try to get another woman's servants
away from her." said the Rev. Anna
Shaw of the American Wonan's S11f-
frage association. cit is very wrong,
and 1t creates a good deal of bad feel
ing.
Two ladies of my acquaintance
lived near each other, and were the
best of friends. But the first envied
the second her cook. She actually
went to see this cook one morning,
and offered her more money than she
was getting. But the loyal cook de-
clined to change her place.
Two or three days later the two
ladies met at a dinner party, and the
second cut the first dead.

Every married man has the fact
thrown up to him frequently.
We imagine when fat men get

Perhaps one reason every one loves
a little girl is that she will play with
her doll and make no noise about it.
If you were raised a pet, the people

Some people never carry a watch for
the reason that 1t is much easier to
ask some one else to open his and find
out the time.
Nothing makes a real ladies' man
quite so mad as for a woman to ask
him what has become Of some man she
used to know.
A hen-pecked man is not hitched up
right unless he tamely submits when
his wife squeezes the black heads out

It has been decided by the Lancaster

news once.

men locks Of her hair and that no

is flirting a little during her absence.
Some people don't blame him much.
It is woman's opinion that she is
good enough when she is patient when
her husband scolds; that It is not ex-
pected of her to remove the cause OF
his scolding.
Until today we never heard Of any
one who didn't like butter. Ed New

Atchison fishermen, when they go

a sack. That's the real thing.
If you have a grievance against a
man, and can't get over it, walk up to

fair notice; and may the best man win.

tremendously.

cultivate mushrooms for food. 1.-The nee

prune and tend their crops with greater
care and intelligence than is shown by

The ant specialists are making ire

their statements about the doing of the
little insects. We are told that the
ants have armies of trained soldiers,
and that tragic wars are common
among them, and in time we shall pro-
badly be informed that they have bat

his way? BY taking heed thereto acCoLu-
ing to Thy word.-Psalm 1888.
It's a pretty good old book. Peo-
pie scott at it and try to cast doubts
upon its statements, but they cannot
make much Roadway against it. 1t
stands. pre-eminent, and has for ages
as the Book of books. 1t has been
translated into every known tongue.
There are today more copies of the
Bible printed every year than have
ever been printed in all time of any
other one work. Its circulation
reaches approximately six million
copies a year.
There is literature philosophy, ora
tory in it. No literature in the Eng
Iish language surpasses that of the
book of Job. No philosophy has ever
exceued that of Solomon. Pauls ad-
dress to the Athenians on the Tn
known God. is a masterpiece Of ora
tory.
But it is none of these things that
makes the Bible great. There is lit
erature, philosophy and oratory in
other books. The Bible is great be-
cause it deals with the great things
of life-man' final destiny-and it is
the one infallib1e guide to right conduct.
The man, or woman either, who tries
to live according to the teachings of
Jesus Christ.-the sermon on the
mount, the Golden Rule. and the rest
will come pretty close to living
right
And it is not only a guide to right
conduct, but it is also a solace and a
comfort in time of distress and trou-
bic. You remember, young man, that
your mother spent hours in reading
it. and that it was her favorite book.
If the Bible and its teachings were
blotted out life would be almost a
blank for millions. Upon it is based
all law, not only those principles laid
down in the decalogue, but also those
of the brotherhood of man. It's
pages set forth the hope of inn
mortality beyond the grave and they

PROFESSION OF GETTING HURT.
The July number of Parsons Maya

that of making fraudulent claims

there are people who make a business
Of this sort of thing by purposely be-
coming slightly injured, and it is esti-
mated that corporations and cities are
held up for no less than Is million dol
lars Of these fraudulent claims an
nually.
The fraudulent claim business does
not alone hurt the corporation at which
it is directed. 1t makes much more
difficult the collection of just and
righteous claims. Fraudulent claims
have become so common that corpora
lions are led to look upon all claims
with suspicion unless the facts con-
corning them are well established and
known.
Many people always rejoice when
ever a railroad corporation is obliged
to pay heavy damages. That is per-
fectly proper if the claim is just, and
of course most claims that are estab-
lished in courts are just But there are
a multitude of minor claims, especially
in the large cities, which are fraudu
lent to a great degree, and this class
should certainly be frowned upon by
the public, both because they are
wrong and because they render more
difficult the collection of just claims.
