Willing to Comnromise.

An Englishman ut dinner once
told a tale of tiger he had shot
which measured twenty-four feet
from snout to tail tip. Every one
was astonished, but no one ventured
to insinuate Il doubt of the truth of
the story. Presently a Scotchman
told his tale He had once caught a
fish which, he said, he was unable to
pull in alone, managing only to land
it at last with the aid of six friends.
"lt was skate, and it covered two
acres" Silence followed this recital,
during which the offended English
man left the table. The host fol-
lowed. After returning he said to
the Scotchman: Sir, you have in
suited my friend. You must apollo
gize." 81 dinna insoolt him." said
the Scot. eyes, YOU did, with your
two acre fish story. You must apol-
ogize." "Well," said the offender
slowly, with the air of one making a
great concession, "tell him if he will
take ten feet off that tiger will see
what / can do with the fish"

NAUGHTY CHINA.
Once Called England an "obseure Cor
ner In the Wilderness"

neT IN tne WilueTnesSs
In the message sent by the era-
press Of China to King George III.
there appears this passage;
"Hhe stores of goods at the Ce.
lestial court are pIcntcously abun-
dant There is nothing but what is
possessed, so that there is really no
need for the produce of outer bar
barians in order to balance supply
and demand. However, as the tea,
silk and porcelain produced by the
Celestial court are indispensable OBJ
jccts to the different states of lIu-
rope and to thy kingdom, for this
reason we have in our grace and
commscration established the for
eign hongs at Macao in order that
all daily needs may be duly sup
piled and every one share in our
superhuous riches. But now thine
cnvoys have made considerable de-
mands over and above what is pro-
vided by fixed precedent, in such
wise as to run seriously counter to
the principle Of recognizing the
bounty of the Celestial court to dis
tant men and its nurturing care of
the different barbarians. Moreover,
the Celestial court exercises con-
trolling supervision over all coun-
tries and is benevolent to each in an
equal degree. For instance, those
trading in Canton province do not
come from the kingdom of England
alone. If they were all to come
clamoring in the same way and
wantonIy to poster lis with requests
impossible to concede in this style,
is it to be supposed that we could
always go out of our way to grant
them?
Remembering, however, that thy
kingdom occupies an obscure corner
in the distant wilderness and is far
removed from us by ocean upon
ocean; also that thou art naturally
unversed in the political etiquette
of the Celestial court, we for this
reason commanded our ministers to
make all this plain to thine ENJOYS,
instruct their minds and dismiss
them back to their country. But,
fearing that thine ENJOYS on their
return home may fail to present
matters thoroughly to thee, we again
take up their requests, one by one,
and prepare these further com
mands for thy particular instruc-
ton, opining thou wilt be able to
grasp our meaning"

Why Swimming Beginners Fail.

You try hard to keep your mouth
closed, but the water somehow will
find Il way into your mouth and nos
trils. A beginner always draws in
his breath just at the moment he
strikes out. This insures the get
ting his mouth and nostrils full of
water at once, and a collapse is inev-
liable. If you will remember to
take breath between the strokes all
will be well. Quite naturally, when
you draw your knees outward for
the kick, you will inhale, and just as
surely as your feet are thrust from
you will you eXpel the air from your
lungs. knowledge on the manage
ncnt of the breath will come with
practice and can only be acquired in
that one way.

A Fine Sight

There are pretty bits OF landscape
Thar enrapture all who see
There's the mountain and the river
And the old majestic tree:
There are cool and shady corners,
Where the sunlight filters through,
But the dollar OF our daddies
Makes the most attractive view.
There are large and ancient pictures
At which connOisseurs throw fits,
There are others quite as pretty
That YOU buy for Just two bits;
There are photographs Of ladies
Who amuse MS In the plays,
But the dollar of the daddics
Has them all skinned forty ways.
There are pretty girls I'm plenty,
Blond, brunette and extra pale:
Likewise many handsome babies.
III their mothers tell the tale:
There are scattered through the countr.
Here and there some nobby gents,
But the dollar of the daddies
Makes them look like thirty cents.
Yes; we bow to King Mazuma
AS he sits upon his throne,
For, while others may have merit,
He Is In a class alone;
Others may have fair proportions,
But they do not win the prize,
But the dollar of the daddies
II a sight that rests the eyes

III do. what
Mabel shook her head over the por-
ter's shoulder as the train pulled out.
She loved Valadon in spite of his alb
solute dependence upon his father. If
she could rouse him to action She
smiled to herself as the train rolled
along the water front and permitted Il
last glimpse of the bay.
Valadon took the boat back to the
city, but instead of returning to the
hotel he went TO the Barbary Coast. In
one Of the dives sat Il party of men,
rough, uncouth, and with Il most evil
dent smell of the stable about them.
Billy went up to the leader.
Pm ready now" he said
"StOw the glad rags" commanded
the other, "and come back here in half
an hour. We don't want silk hats
around"
Before the end of the half hour the
silk hat and frock coat had been meta
morphosed into cloth cap and pea
jacket, and Billy was So richer.
The leader marshaled the gang, and
an hour later Billy was back in Oak
land, but this time in the freight yards,
He clung to a handsome leather suit
case, but this time 1t carried only ne
cessitles, and his baggage was aug
mented by Il soap box containing Il
whole boiled ham, ten pounds Of corned
beef, six loaves of bread hunk OF
cheese and bottle of pickles. There
was also II two quart pail, which, 1t
was explained was TO be filled with
cOfree when they made their day stops.
On the track before him was Il train
or twelve yellow cars, at the head Of
which painted Il huge engine. Billy
climbed into the third car and deposited
his belongings in corner. There was
much hoarse shouting, blast from Il
whistle and Il jolt as the train pulled
out, and the first section OF the horse

Billy's fellow passengers in the car
