HERE'S IDEAL MODEL CITIZEN.
The Coming Man as Seen by Admir-
ers Of Socialism.

To describe an ideal modern citi-
zen now is at best to make a guess
and a suggestion as to what must be
built in reality by the efforts of q
thousand minds. But he will be a
very different creature from that in
different, well-behaved business man
who passes for a good citizen to-day.
He will be neither under the slave
tradition nor a rebel, nor a vehement
elemental man. Essentially he will be
aristocratic; aristocratic not in the
sense that he has slaves or class in,
~feriors, because probably he will have
nothing of the sort, but a%ristocratic in
the sense that he will feel that the
state belongs to him and he to the
state. He will probably be a public
servant; at any rate he will be a man
doing some work in the complicated
machinery of the modern community
for a salary and not for speculative
gain. Typically he will be a profess
sional a l do not think the ideal
modern citizen can be a person living
chiefly by buying for as little as he
"a give and selling for as much as
ne a get; indeed, most of what we
idolize as business enterprise, I think
he will regard with very considerable
contempt. But then l am q Socialist
and look forward to the time when the
economic machinery of the commu
nifty will not be a field for private en-
richment but for public service

A Lithuanian Funeral.

On Sunday morning a strange funer-
al cortege passed through the Mission
streets. The hearse was followed by
a procession of women walking in the
middle of the street. They wore dark
skirts trimmed with bands of lace,
embroidery. or colored strips, and all
wore aprons, some of black silk or
cloth, but more of sheer white en-
broidered corners, and fringed shawls
were over their shoulders. 1t was not
a uniform, but more in the nature of
holiday attire such as one sees in
Italy and France on carnival occasions
or fete days. The men In the process
sion wore conventional dress, but their
bearded faces were not American. In
quiring as to the nationality of these
odd figures who made such a strange
picture in San Francisco, l found they
were Lithuanians, and that there is a
large colony of them here. mostly en-
ployed at a laundry over toward the
Potrero.-San Francisco Call.

Take Celestial Bridegroom.

AT Los Angeles, CAL, the other day
a rich Chinese merchant was married
to a colored woman, and almost the
entire colored population turned out to
witness the marriage. The ceremony
was performed In one of the colored
churches by Rev. c. H. Anderson, for
which he received a fee of $50. The
Chinaman, whose name is Keen
Scheck, was attiled in American cloth.
ing OF the latest fashion, and his bride,
Miss Anna Laura James, was dressed
in a manner that would have been
envied by many a white belle. The
bridal gown was of the finest white
satin trimmed with real lace, and on
her head was a hat covered with
white ostrich plumes and satin plumes
to match. After the ceremony the
people retired at once to their own
home, a $1,000 mansion on a popular
street, which had been r eviously
decided as a wedding present to the
bride.

CAN ALWAYS TRUST cHINAMEN.
Customs In Celestial Empire Have
Made Dishonesty Scarce.

"You soon learn in China that you
can trust a Chinaman to carry
through anything he agrees to do for
you" says Samuel Merwin in Success.
when l reached Tai Yuan-fu I
handed my interpreter a Chinese
draft for 5000 (Mexican), payable to
bearer, and told him to go to the
bank and bring back the money. I
had known John a little more than a
week, yet any one who knows China
will understand that / was running no
appreciable risk. The individual
Chinaman is simply a part of a family,
the family is part of a neighborhood,
the neighborhood is part of a village
or district, and SO on. If John had
disappeared with my money after
cashing the draft and afterward been
caught, punishment would have been
swift and eve Very likely he
would have lost his head. II the au-
thorities had been unable to find
John they would have punished his
family. Punishment would surely
have fallen on somebody"

Boy Originated Safety PIN.

"The originator of the ~safety-pin."
said an historian of inventions. was
a little boy, an English blacksmith's
son.
THE little boy-Harrison by name
had to look after his baby brother.
The baby often cried, and its tears
were usually to be traced to pin pune
lures. The boy nurse tried a long
time to bend pins into such a form
that they could be used with safety to
his brothers. flesh.
I'm this he failed; but his father.
the blacksmith, perceived the utility
of the idea the lad had been at work
on, took It up on his wi account, and
eventually turned out the safety-pin
that is In use to-day all over the
world"

OF placing loose coins in
their boxes each timo they desire
to dispatch letters instead Of sup
themselves in advance Of
their needs. This practice inn
poses undue hardship on the rur al
carriers in removing loose coins
from boxes and delays them ON

postmaster, therefore urgently e
requests the patrons of rural de-
to provide themselves and
keep on hand a supply of stamps
consistent with and in advance of

cups of wood or tin in which to

In Massachusetts, the situation
is considerably complicated. SEN
ator Crane, the Junior Senator is
against Taft because he would not
make a compromise with Foraker
whereby CHE would trade his 90
percentof strength in Ohio for For
aker's 10 percent and thus insure
Foraker's reelection to the Senate;
aud because the President, who
became incensed at Cranes op-
position of the court review clause
of the Railway Rate bill, said
some things which burt Cranes
feelings. 1t is probable that If
fool friends would keep out of the
way Secretary ana his oppo-
nent Senator Crane would
come to an understanding, but the
Cool friends will not and there
will probably be a divided delega-
sion from Massachusetts, part for
Taft and part for Knox, who is
Mr.. Cranes favorite. If Mr.. Crane
would lend his support to Mr..
Taft 1t would doubtless mean
che solid New, England delega-
fion for Taft and in any event it
seems probable that the great
majority of New England dele
gates will be for Taft.

The decision of the Supreme

that If the Republican voters of
Ohio were given a fair opportuni-

Taft would get the solid delega-

ed the primaries because he APP
p%reciated that they meant his sig

Court Of the United States has de-
elared the law valid and the call
for primaries reasonable and the
victory of Mr.. Taft is assured.
With Ohio settled, political in

In New York there is a fight
somewhat similar to that which
has eaken place in Ohio except
that Secretary Taft il not a party

Quoting the fight are ~contending
for control of the State machine.
The "federal wing of the Repub-

President, but is determined to

The opposite wing is controlled
by former Governor Odell, Lem

Bracket and all the old guard

was nominated for Governor and
whose NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of state
affairs has SO disguised decent
citizens that VIM. r. Hearst was
very nearly elected, and all the
other Democrats on the ticket with
Hughes were successful. 1t has
just been learned that Quigg
wrote the resolution endorsing
Hughes for President, the resolu-
lions which Rep. Parsons twice
defeated in the New York County
Republican committee, and the
fact that Quigg was back of the
resolution will make greatly for
Parsons strength. Parson is now
for Hughes and there seems to be
little doubt that the Governor will
gladly avail himself of the support

by New Workers in Washington,
that the Odell crowd were not
