Girl Slaves in China.

A native writer in Chinese publ
cation remarks: ''When girl is sold
in China she becomes the slave of her
owner and part of his property. She
no longer retains her free born rights
but surrenders them all to the will of
those who own her. She receives no
compensation for her labor, but is OBJ
liged to accept such raiment and food
as her owners may be pleased to give
her. In cases of tyranny or gross cru
city she cannot appeal for redress.
She may be resold, given away or cast
off in the streets at the arbitrary will
of her master All freedom is denied
her, and she remains tool and chattel
in the hands of her owner until she is
sold again or until death releases her
from her unwilling fate.

UNCLE GID'S LETTER.

To the News: Well Candy Stick, "
you girls, know, prefer that your
old Uncle Gid tell you some love stor-
les. Well, when / was young, like
yourself, | liked such things. and in
fact, | amt quite got over the disease
yet. It's part of human nature to
love and be loved, and the girl or boy
that don't have love in the heart is
hardly human. One little girl not a
thousand miles away, received mat
rimonial card. She was engaged and
the card read thus. "Whom God hath
joined together in matrimony, ill
cooked joints and i'll boiled potatoes
have often put asunder. 1t troubled
her and wouldn't be surprised if she
didn't join cooking school Say, you
girls, who for the last eight months
have been wanting your Uncle Gid to
send Charley around, can you cook?
Honest injun, what do you know a
bout housekeeping anyhow Can you
Can you make beaten biscuit and
waffies2 Have You faith that you can
make home and not clothe it in sack
cloth and ashes2 Can you meet the
housewives conditions with dignity
and gentleness, and retain a fine spiri t
of hospitalityY If SO you may be my
daughter-in-law. Now, it's up to you
to answer.
Your Uncle Gid is not Socialist,
girls, and don't believe such stuff for
l believe every girl and boy has their
inherent worth and some are far supe-
rior to others, and no government can
! be devised, no laws enacted that can
abrogate the Divine purpose or the
laws of nature. 1t will be the surviv-
al of the tittest. Why should Socialists
envy and complaint Two stalks Of
corn in hill Two pigs in a pen
Twins in their mothers armsl Cain
and Abel when the world was new and
large enough for those two.
Individualism incites to hope. So
cialism lulls to pernicious desuetude,

liberty. am glad there is top to

poverty is not caused by the prosperi-
ty-of others, Dollars is not everything.
There are higher attainments to gain.
This cry of Let something be done
to make us equal, is the silliest non
sense that intelligent people ever lis
! tened to.

five were wise and five were foolish.

the wise, but were absolutely refused.
