The color of the hair, says the

have the same complexion. Instances,
however, are not uncommon where

Says the North China Daily News:
"The following almost incredible tale

us by trustworthy correspondent:
The governor of Honan is being spok.

very hattering terms He had only
one daughter and she died. Rumor
says she was in love with an actor
and pinned away because she could
not marry him. However. she died |;
her father was determined that her
favorite slave should accompany her
into the next world and ordered his
bodyguard to beat the poor slave girl
to death.
she pleaded to be allowed to take
opium or anything else that would
kill her. but the governor said that
could not be, for il she committed
suicide she would not be free to at
tend her mistress. Report has It that
the governor himself got SO enraged
because the girl died so slowly that
he himself finished the CHASTITY deed
This Is worse than the Canton

of a decapitated bandit; but 1t shows
what savage instincts may still linger
in Chiness high officials"

After carefully studying the attrac-

was to hold forth in the town hall,
decided to attend the entertainment.

most adventurous of the four, "and
there doesn't seem to be any need to
consult our women folk, so far as |
know. Most likely we shan't stay
more than few minutes"
They were all agreed as to the ad-
visibility Of this plan, and the next
evening saw them seated in the last
row, with interest written on their
faces.
After few preliminary exhibitions,
which caused the scattered audience to
gasp and wriggle, the mind-reader
said, in a solemn tone:
There is one person in this audience
who has been thinking ever since he
came in here of a person who is per-
haps the strongest influence in his
Iife-a small, determined-lookin wo-
man, with eyes that snap and"
At this point the four old captains
rose as if moved by a single spring
and filed from the hall. When they
reached the safety Of the steps, Cap
tain Gregg turned to the others and
spoke in hOarse whisper:

IN OLD WAR DAYS.
How the Great Struggle Made Bush

How the Great Struggle Made Bush
ness For the BuCksport Stage.
If one wants to hear marvellous
tales concerning stage driving in old
times he should go to Bucksport and
secure talks with some of the old
chaps who can remember back to the
days of the Civil War. Then, as now,
Bucksport was eighteen miles from
eyeryWhere''-from Bangor, Belfast,
Castine, Ellsworth and several other
smaller places. Stages left the old
Robinson House in professions every
day.
Some of those old drivers were re-
markable men, skilled in handling
the ribbons" very popular with
their patrons and heroic in their
labors to be on time under every con-
dition of weather. The names or
these men would fill considerable
space in a newspaper. Most of them
are dead now, but they are not for
gotten.
There is another aspect of stage
driving during the Civil War times,
which no one has recorded as yet
the great traffic which was carried
on by hackmen and stages in carry
ing persons who were anxious to get
away to New Brunswick as soon and
as quietly as possible. The demand
for soldiers was urgent, because the
needs of the nation were great. Many
Young men who were physically able
TO serve in the ranks did not have
liking for the Job, and sooner than
argue the case, they sought rest ana
seclusion under her Majestys nag,
even as many vessels owners did for
their property, which was exposed u
the ravages of Confederate priVa-
teers.
Not all of these young men VINO
sought New Brunswick for safety
were residents of Maine by any
means. Many came to Bucksport by
the Boston boat, and went inland
on stage or on foot or by private con-
veyance, as their finances dictated.
II the stories OF those refugees coulu
be told, much of interest would be
revealed.
Every stage driver knew the "ske-
dadlers," as they were called, and
all paid heavy tribute to powers that
controlled the routes. From 1867
to 1864 thousands Of men from
Maine and other New England States
took advantage of the facilities Of
fered by remote stage lines and eff
fected their escape though a major
ity Of them returned and squared
themselves with the Government be-
fore the close of the war.
Incidentally, it may be we'll to say
here that the famous Bar Harbor and
Bangor line was claimed to be the
swiftest and most elegant service by
horsepower in the country.-Bang1r

Race Suicide Due to Dollars.

Hal Bell delivered an address on
Life" at the annual meeting of the
Excelsior Bible Glass of the willis
Avenue NJ. E. Sunday-school, the
Bronx, New York city. He said:
There has been great cry raised
against race suicide; but there is a
solemn thought on the part of many
that they do not want to bring chill
dren into this life of endless slavery
and bondage, of well-nigh hopeless
toll Why, the birds of the air, the
fish in the sea, the beasts Of the forest
are happier than we.
To-day everything is measured by
the rule of the dollar. Speaking broad
ly, the astonishing increase of wealth
has brought little else than slavery
to the great masses of our citizens.
There was a time in this country
when men alone did the hard work
but now women and girls are fed
like corn into the grinding mill of
life. What else is there for us to
give? We have fed to this devouring
passion our hope and joy, our laughter
and our smiles"

An INGENIOUS Couch.

The most ingenius arrangement Of
4 couch was accomplished in room
so tiny that all earlier heroic endeav-
OTIS to get couch into that room had
failed. The arrangement" as it was
promptly dubbed, was nothing more or
less than a frame with woven wire
springs and a little mattress, which
was fastened securely to the springs
themselves. 1t was attached to the
wall by strong hinges and folded up
out Of the way under an innocent
looking curtain that pretended to be
only interested in the bookshelves
from which it hung. The couch was
provided with two strong supports,
which were sprung into place and
stayed put" until the spring was re-
leased To all intents and purposes,
the couch didn't exist except when
1t was wanted, and, as it only needed
space when in use, 1t didn't inter-
Iere In the least with any other ar
raRgement of the room.
