the words by the way before ad
dressing a person or commencing a
conversation.
One morning in the sixties. in open.

dignified manner proceeded according
to the custom by repeating the follow.
ing. Hear, ye. Hear We. All We
who have anything to do with the
court of common pleas. come forward
and you shall be heard according to
law"

EASY TO START A REVOLUTION.
Difficulties American Companies Have
In South America.

"One Of the troubles in running
business In any of the South American
states is to know who is going to be
on top next day. said a stockholder
in on American company. When a
company is organized a certain sum is
set aside for graft but one can't al
ways tell how to pay it out to the
best advantage. For instance. one of
our imekeepers went to the manager
one day and said:
"'Senor, l want the sum of $1,000
very bad
"Well, and what of it?'
"If the company will give 1t to me
I will see that its property IS pro
tected during the coming revolution
"'You be hanged! The country is
at peace and there is no hint of revo-
luton. Try some other dodge to get
your money
"'Then the company will rot ad-
val 1e me s1,000?'
"'Not on your life
"1he man quit work two days later.
and ten days after that ne reappeared
at the head of 200 revolutionists. The
affair was in full swing. He had
wanted the money to buy arms and
bribe certain people
"'Senor,' he said to the manager, I
want $4,000 very quick and very bad
"'Come right in and sit down while
I ask the treasurer to make out

a quarter of an hour later he had it,

PIRA TES MADE FIERCE FIGHT

peared and all ran close to the Ching.
hal, firing on her from all sides. That
the pirates were not frightened by her
guns is shown by the fact that they
actually endeavored to board the ves-
sci, and band-to-hand fighting follow
ed. The battle took place at night in
bright moonlight and is reported TO
have lasted about two hours. The pi-
rate junks finally withdrew with tho
loss of three men captured.
Two men were killed on the Ching
hal and her old wooden superstructure
was riddled by rifle bullets. The decks
are said to have been actually ripped
open by the heavy fire. The three cap
tured pirates are wounded. They were
taken prisoners when trying to gain
the deck of the dispatch vessels. They
are now at Chefoo awaiting their
trial"

Miss Agnes Mahony. a missionary
to liberia, was visiting Philadelphia
with Two African slave girls that she
had bought for SIS apiece.
Miss Mahony's pictures of Liberia
were somber. They were pictures OF
savage physicians operating on saw
age patients with pieces of broken
glass, of men content and happy II
their wives provided them with
enough rice to support life on, of
climate so humid that a few months
residence there impaired the white
mans health.
She relieved the gloom of her nara
tive with a description of pilot.
This man was a character-a she'll
back like those whom w. w. Jacobs
describes in his sea stories.
The pilot" said Miss Mahony, was
once bringing a ship northward. The
captain, toward sunset, bade him go
below and help himself to a glass of
cold tea.

THE PILOTS LITTLE MISTAKE

after taking the tea. the pilot pro
ceeded to MUNICH a biscuit.
Now the captain owned large
monkey, and this creature sat d"o~-
sing in a corner. The pilot said
"A gusty day, sir and the MOI key
shrugged its shoulders.
The pilot with affable gruffpess
went on
1.-The south light is away on the
port bow, now, sir
There was no answer.
But the pilot was persistent. He
continued:
"'Wen be over the bar, sir, il an
hour
Failing to get a reply even 10 this
pleasant information, the pilot vent
up on deck again, and. taking his
place beside the captain on the bridge.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN WAYS

of the people differ, and the conduct
men is entirely dissimilar to what is
observable in the United States.
American youths are submissive
enough, but greatly fail in the matter
of reverence for their elders and for
those who are really set in authority.
They have no intention to besdiseourt-
teous or rude in the slightest degree.
yet they invariably seem to be regard
ed by Englishmen as too full OF
bounce
In my judgment tact and good man.
ners are good capital and are as i'm
portant as a good banking account
These very differences apply with the
same urgency against the prospects or
a young Englishman succeeding in the
United States. The Britons dignity
and manner are apt to suggest to an
American employer that he has not
got any go in him.

What ate your reasons for thinking

Oldest English WORKING Clock.

Peterborough cathedral has the old
est working clock in England. This
timepiece was erected about 1920 and
is without doubt the work of some
monastic clockmaker. 1t is the only
one now known that is wound up over
ar old wooden wheel. This wheel is
about twelve feet in circumference
and the galvanized cable, about 300
feet in length, supports a leaden
weight of three hundred-weight, which
has to be wound up daily.

But the family stood for advancement

appearance of his samples. We ate

the stranger made no reply, We ste

the maid saw the horrifieG expression
