English men and women have been

American and mining millionaires have
come to the front-and that is one Of
the main causes of the distress which
exists throughout the country. In the
west end most men of moderate means
have been living as If a vast fortune
was awaiting them iii the Immediate
future, their wives and daughters have

What it Was All About.

A Frisco Jap had a bid, all black
and tan, you know, and where other
children went that kid would want
to go. The chap he went to school
one day, and that was against the
rule; 1t made the white folks mad as
hops to see a Jap in school. They
gnashed their teeth and tore their
halr, and gave an angry shout, and
rose as one man and seized that little
Jap and cast him bodily out. And
