THE FAITHFUL CHINAMAN,
Initiated the Negro, Even to Stealing
Every Day.

"Whatever may he said about the Chi
neSe. one thing IN their favor is theil
honesty said a man who has travelled
II have been told that one reason for this
is because theft is a capital offence in
China and that the average Cinnamon is
honest because he has been taught from
his youth up that If he steals he will lose
his head. | don't know whether this is
true or not However. if you will talk to
people who reside on the Pacific Slope and
who are lOudest in their cries in favor
of the exclusion of Chinese labor they will
tell you that as class the Chinese ar.
honest. They work for mere pittancc
and can live on almost nothing. but they
are not thieves.
Some years ago when | was in Cali
fornia / was told a story illustrative of
Chinese honesty. citizen of Los Ange-
les had a negro cook in his family. The
negro had given notice of his intention to
give up his place and n Chinaman had
been employed to succeed him. The lady
of the house instructed the Chinaman to
gro for a couple of days in order to learn
from him the methods followed in cook
ing in that particular household Now.
John. said the lady to the Chinaman. L
want YOU to do Just what the negro does.
and thus learn how We want our work
performed
Accepting this order. the Chinaman
proceeded to his duties. A couple of days
later the negro gave up his place and the
Chinaman was left alone in the kitchen.
The lady of the house did not go to the
Kitchen until three days after the negro
had loft To her surprise she found on
one of the tables small pile of flour, a
pile of potatoes. a number of slices of raw
ham. and in fact samples of everything
in the food line. which had been eaten
there for several days. What in the
world does this mean. john? she called
out to the Celestial. 'Welcc. you tellee
me to do what Mcgee do; every morning
niggec pour little flour on table den he
pour out little rice. den he keep out lit
tie ham. Chnce must do what Mcgee do
you say Then it dawncd upon the lady
that before each meal the negro cook had
reserved portion of the uncooked food
for himself and had carried it away-had
stolen it. The Chinaman in literally obey
ing the orders given him to do what the
negro did had also taken toll but unlike
the negro had neglected to make way
with his booty. but left it on the table.
| and before each meal had added to the
accumulation, thus proving that while the
yellow man was a good imitator he was a
sorry thief."-Cncinnati Enquirer.

The Hanging of Mary Rogers.

After every resource which able law
ed to delay or prevent the carrying out
of the death sentence. and in spite OF
the storm of protests which came from
all parts of the land, poor Mary Rog-
ers has paid the awful penalty for hei
crime. If there is any justification al
all for capital punishment, there should
certainly he no discrimination made or
account of the sex of the person upor
whom falls the vengeance of the law
commended for his brave stand in al
lowing the law to take its course in
this case. Tremendous pressure was
brought to bear upon him, but without
avail.
Had the murderer in this case oeen
a man, he would doubtless nave peeii
executed many months ago. Inc
crime itself was a particularly deliber-
ate brutal and revolving one, and there
was not the slightest doubt of the
prisoners guilt or full responsibility
for her action, and yet, because she
WAS q woman, there have been the
most hysterical denunciations of YER

generally. Yellow journalism has

graphs and fake stories of all kinds.
has made the case talked about all
over the country. An investigation of
the conditions of Windsor prison
which incidentally disclosed Mrs. Rog-
er's prison conduct in most unpleas-
ant light, did much to deprive her of
the wide public sympathy which she
had gained through the bare fact that
she was a woman.
1t is not to be denied that it is a ter
of any person, man or woman, in pun
ishment of crime, but if capital pun
ishment is to prevail. there is no rea-
son, from the cold and unsentilnental
point of view of justice, why it should
not apply to the sexes alike. There is
no sex in crime, and there should be no
sex in the punishment of crime. Not
withstanding this view, which must be
generally admitted, it is altogether
likely that it will be Il long time before
another woman is executed in New
England, if indeed one is ever again
executed in this section, and undeni-
ably the agitation over the hanging of
Mary Rogers will have done much to
bring about this result.

Go ahead and try said the king,
and if You succeed it will prove that
YOU are cleverer man than any of my

1t was then that Sir Thomas dropped
bunch of keys down the royal back
and the nose bleeding soon ceased. The
king was profuse in his expressions Of
gratitude.
THE credit belongs to my mother"
said Sir Thomas. "She has stopped
my nose bleeding that way many a
time"
If the Jersey Lily had only waited
until the kings nose bled to drop that
chunk of ice down his back. she might
