China's Need

"A detailed report received from Jas
l.. Rodgers, our Consul General at
Shanghai, gives a narrowing account
OF the suffering Of the people in the
tamlne-strcken districts OF China. Fully
100000 people are afflicted. OF whom
100000 are absolutely destitute and
are struggling to avert starvation by
the most desperate devices. Mr.. Rod
gers declares that the famine is likely
to be the worst that China has ever
known, and that it may have conse-
quences which will react upon other
nations. He says
My deliberate opinion is that the next
few months will see the development
of dangerous things in this part of
China, and that such conditions and
circumstances will have great effect
upon foreign interests, political as well
as commercial.
Here is glorious opportunity for
President Roosevelt This country has
now in its possession millions of dol
lars belonging to China that ought in
any event to be returned to her and,
according to the nrdcedents of our ma
tional behavior in such cases, will
eventually be returned. But now is
the time when restitution will be most
gracious and beneficial With those
millions to draw upon, the Chinese
Government will be able to enlarge the
system OF relief that it is now applying
to the extent OF its resources. and ar
engagements might be made by which
the funds coud be available for auxil-
larry relief through the Red Cross So

message might President Roosevelt
send to Congress advising immediate
restitution! The circumstances are such
as to make thrilling appeal to popu-
lar sentiment. 1t would be an action
harmonizing with the service he rem
dered to humanity in his successful in
tervention to stop the waste OF life in
the Russo Japanese war. The situa-
ton presents a great opportunity for
the President, with the rescue OF the
starving millions OF China as the chief
incentive. but also with decided gains
to American prestige and commercial
prospects.-Balto. News

Her quilts were all quilted, her But a coldness had come between them, and Mark had gone away back east where girls were plenty" Since then she had been learning to live without him and it was a bitter lesson. True she did not speak of it, not even to her best friends, but the ache was always there.
 Her work was done at last. She had time to look at little Lillie slum- bering in her low trundle-bed with her stocking spread out trustingly on the pillow beside her. Now was the time for Santa Claus to come. But the sick mother was too i'll and broken with anxiety to be bothered. There was nobody to fill that stocking but Hattie, and nothing to fill it with ex- cept what her girls wit might devise.
 She was very tired. All day she had been battling against storm and sickness, doing a woman's work and mans too. Now she must do Santa Claus work Was ever Santa Claus so sleepy? Oh, what would she not give to throw herself on the bed, dressed as she was, and sleep? But there was no time for that. Santa Claus must come to the waiting child. She knew that in a little while the sick woman would rouse again and need her. Softly and wearily she lift ed the one little drop-leaf table over

1t Was a Sure Proof of Lunacy. DUFUS L. GRISWOLD, the Cleve N land educator who holds that it is wrong to let children believe in Santa Claus, was arguing about hfs strange views at dinner.
 "Why lie to children" he asked. "Why let them believe in a myth? ? Whenever I hear mention of that loathed name of Santa Claus, I think of a lunatic. Some years ago I at- tended a trial. A witness was be- ing examined as to the sanity of one of the inmates.

Sam SmaII's Hypnotism Didn't Work.

"T HE late Sam Small had his faults,"
 said an Atlantan, "but he did not dodge the penalty of them. When he went wrong, he owned up like man, and if punishment was due, he took it.
 That was the doctrine Sam Small preached. He hated dodgers. He used to laugh bitterly at the plea of hypnotic influence that used to be put up by nearly every murderer.
 q once heard him ridiculing hyp- notism He said that he bought pret- ty heavily one year for Christmas, and when the bill came in for turkey and mince meat, candy, ducks, chickens, plum pudding, fruit cake and so on, he thought to himself that here was case for hypnotism to be tried.
 "He went first to hypnotize the grocer Approaching the man, he looked him squarely in the eye, at the same time repeating, slowly and i'm pressively:
 "'My bill is paid
 "A change came over the grocer's face. His color faded, his eyes grew dull, his expression blank. And in a strange, mechanical voice he nut tered:

stiff. You'd better make up your mind not to get any Christmas. pres ents this year, Lillie. You wouldn't t want dear old Santa Claus frozen to death."
 "No, of course not. But papa goes out on the prairie. Why shouldn't Santa Claus? Don't you think he could get here with light load? You know, when we came, we got stuck in unloaded the wagon and got it across empty. Don't you think Santa Claus could do that?'
 Yes, he shall," said Hattie, with determination.
 She was only the hired girl who had come in friendly pioneer fashion to help the settlers wife through her sickness; but to the inmates of the little cabin she was a ministering angel. Strong and faithful and eff cient, an angel could hardly have done more in that prairie home. Yet she did not look in the least like an angel as she put on the pioneers old cap and coat, tied a. red woolen scarf around her neck, drew old stockings over her shoes and floundered out through the drifts, stout and rosy in the wind, to do the chores for the night. Not glimpse of the near by barn could be obtained from the cabin door, Hattie tied long rope to the door knob and carefully held the other end as she walked toward it.
 She pulled down hay and fed the stock and milked. She brought out pails full of the snow water she had melted in the big wash boiler for them to drink. She brought in a great supply of fuel and made every thing outdoors and in as snug and cheery as possible. Then she cooked the supper-that did not take long for there was little to cook-and washed up the dishes and cared for the sick woman and the little babe. She put Lillie to bed in the queer little trundle- bed-the child chattering about Santa Claus every minute-and tucked her in as happy as if there were no fear or anxiety in the world !; oh, what would the pioneer families have done without the girls" of that time?
 The mercury ranged 4 and 5 de- grees below zero. The storm outside howled with the fury of a legion of demons In some drift out there in the whiteness John Carver might be sinking to death now.
 The baby cried and the sick woman moaned. There was no lack of occu- patton for the young helper. Hattie's strong arms held the child till it was quieted and at the same time heated flannels, brought water, smoothed pill lows, and did everything that could be done for the anxious young mother.
 Hattie, you haven't anything to worry you," cried the sick woman, en- viously.
 "Not a thing except what worries other people, answered Hattie But she knew that all the time she car ried beneath her songs and cheery words heartache that was as hard to bear as the young wife's own.
 It was Mark for whom her heart ached. A year ago she had thought that by this time she and Mark would be settled in a pioneer cabin of their

He had been sure that he would return in week. Was he lying now under one of those huge white drifts? Was he out in this dreadful blizzard, perhaps freezing to death at this very minute. She turned away from the window and moaned. She could not bear to an swer the child. But Hattie, the hired girl, who never seemed to lose heart, answered cheerily:

Vulnerable letters on the schedules

The skull Of Pearl Bryan was dug

tucky opposite Cincinnati
That the skull is that Of Miss Pearl
Bryan, the Greencastle. Ind. girl, who
was murdered Feb. /. 1905, by Scott
Jackson and Alonz0 Walling, Cincin-
natl medical students, has been proven
by circumstantial evidence on which

the first degree and hanged for their
crimes in Newport, Ky.
Their circumstantial evidence is this
The skull was found in the soil which
forms part Of the roadway that o
carriage enroute from the proved scene
cf Pearl Bryan's murder near Fort
Thomas Ky, would take in proceeding
to the residence Of a doctor in New
port, where the testimony at the trial
showed Miss Bryan underwent treat
ment just before she was killed.
