but they are not wholly satisfactory
eithe, here or In Europe.

After forty-fve years of service
marked by unwavering fidelity, Sir Rob
ert Hart, the inspector general of the
imperial Chinese maritime customs, has
sailed for Europe on a leave of absence.
II Mt the end of the year he does not
return to China, his successor will be
appointed. In n case, owing to a re-
construction of the customs service, Sir
Robert Harris official career is regarded
as virtually ended. The work he has
done Is remarkable. Under him, for the
first time, a Chinese government de-
partment became not only efficient but
absolu tely free from corruption. Dur
ing his term of office the imports rose
from twenty million pounds to sixty
seven million pounds. The career of
Sir Robert Hart is only n item in
the great debt which the East owes to
the West, and especially to England.
One could not estimate in dollars and
cents the value of the work in Egypt
of Lord Cromer, or of Sir Andrew
Clarke and Sir Frank Swettenham in
lAe OtlullS Otlltl1tulS dAu lHS Mdldy
Peninsula, or the long line of governors
general of India, from Give and War
re1 Hastings down to Lord Curzon. Al
most always their work has been car
ried on against native opposition and
intrigue, in the face Of active enmity
or surrounded by cold hostility; and it
is always thankless. When Sir Robert
Hart sailed from Picking, the largest
international gathering ever seen there
was assembled to bid him farewell but
among the crowd there was hardly a
representative of the nation which he
had served so long. Something Of this
great work and this fine spirit of ser
vice marks the career of Mr.. Taft, the
real creator of government in the Phil
ipplnes, and that work has been ham
pered not only by the native opposition,
which vas to be expected, but by dis
trust and aspersion at home. Clearing
the ground for the establishment of civ
ilized government is work that involves
suffering, frequently if not always
works some injustices, and is some
times accompanied by cruelty; but the
race may well be proud
Of Its constructive work throughout the

racy, too, has marched and a greater

pie has resulted.

Walter. Il thought you would not think

No sooner was the closet pointed ont
than Jack eagerly strobe toward it and
began to peer about him, holding the can

where did you put it?" he inquired,
turning to question Walter.
But he had scarcely spoken when our
hero closed the door hastily, and, before
Jack could recover from his surprise, had
bolted it on the outside. To add to the
discontinue of the imprisoned robber, the
wine produced by the violent slamming OF
the door blew out the candle, and he
found himself a captive, in utter dark
ness.
Let me out, or III murder you! J" he
roared, kicking the barrier that separated
him from his late victim, now his captor.
Walter saw hat there was no time to
lose. The door, though strong, would
probably soon give way before the
strength of his prisoner. When the lib
Grafton ook place, he must be gone. He
held the handle of his carpetbag between
his teeth, and, getting out of the window,
hung down. The distance was not great,
and he alighted upon the ground without
injury. Without delay he plunged into
the woods, not caring in what direction
he went, as long as it carried him away
from his dishonest landlord.

where Total Ec1ipses are Rare.

1t is a fact well known to astrono-
mers that the average number of total
and partial eclipses in any n year is
four that the maximum is seven and
the minimum two. Where only two
occur they are always both of the sun.
There are a great many more eclipses
of the sun in the our of a year or
a hundred years than there are Of the
moon. This fact, Notwithstanding,
however, London, the metropolis of the
world, seems to be a place where such
distractions to the suns light seldom

Recurrent Vomiting.

This is a curious and often most dis
tressing condition from which children
sometimes suffer-often needlessly.
The term, recurrent or cyclic vomit-
ing, refers to the chief, or at least the
most striking, symptom. The attacks
recur at irregular intervals-often after
working hard over some more than
usually difficult lesson, OF after being
kept in at school writing lines or
making up for some neglected lesson.
The symptoms preceding the attack
are rather indefinite and uncertain. The
child feels dull and dlsinclined to play.
He may be pale or sallow; there are
dark rings under. the eyes, and often
the lids look sore and red. Then sud
denly, and perhaps without preceding
nausea, vomiting occurs.
This Is profuse, violent and persist
emf, the effort continuing long after the
stomach is empty. After whatever food
there may be in the stomach has been
expelled, mucus is thrown up, and often
bile.
The attack may last, with occasional.
intermissions, for a few hours or even
several days. There is little or no
fever, and the pulse is weak but not
rapid. If the attack continues any
great length of time the child becomes
very weak, and seems i'll out of all
proportion to the exhaustion to be ex-
pected from the continued vomiting and
consequent fasting.
1t is, indeed, poisoned with certain
acids formed in the body, and not de
composed into harmless substances, as
is the case with the normal child. These
acid poisons are the same as those
found in cases of diabetes, and hence
the disease is believed to be one due
to imperfect chemical action in the
process of nutrition-of m~etabolism, as
these internal processes are called.
As the child grows up these attacks
cease, but are often succeeded by sick.
headache.
The u is unknown, but from the
resemblance of the attacks to those of
.sick-headache, and from the fact that
are often succeeded by sick-head-
aches, it is believed that the two affec-
are essentially the same, and are
due to defective chemical action In the
body, caused or aggravated by some 9TH
er fault, such as eye-strain. 1t is prob
able, indeed, that eye-strain is the most
cause The child subject to
these periodical attacks of vomiting
should, therefore, be examined by an
oculist as a preliminary to treatment.

The bar should not only have its
code Of ethics, but 1t should set its
face determl1edly against violations of
that code. If the men who discredit
the profession are visited with profess
sional ostracism, and those who bring
1t into reproach are upon its initiative
promptly disbarred, a wholesome i'm
provement in the character of the bar
will result. But positive and persist
ent action is needed ever more han

UP TO THE
PANHANDLE

ton. The quality OF the Panhandle
hog, he pointed out, is of the supe-
rior hard-fat, becan type that com
mands the highest market price, and
moreover in all his experience in
seeing over 1000 cars Of hogs ship
ped from this country he had never
seen case of hog cholera, a con
dition which he believed could not
be equaled anywhere else in NORTH
America. In conclusion he stated
that he was perfectly satisfied that
the country was in a position now to
supply the packing house here and
that If hog raisers could realize a
profit in shipping live hogs 500 TO
200 miles, the dressed product
would certainly show bigger profit
Fuqua Changed His Mind.
"There is certain class of people
you know said w, II. Fuqua after
telling in the course Of his remarks
that two years ago at the stockmens
convention here he had opposed the
packing house proposition when it
was first stated to him, land another
class that does. | am glad to say
tonight that | have joined the other
side and | believe that the time has
now come for packing house to be
successful.
II believe now that we have the
greatest hog country in the world
We know It's good stock country
! It's the best lazy mans country |
ever saw, because a man can make
a crop with less work than other
places | ever saw. There are certain
things that make this country pc
culiarly fitted for raising hogs, One
thing is the light rainfall sometimes
it's a little too light, maybe--but
the light rainfall during the winter
is one thing that must be considered
to the advantage of the hog raiser"
Mr. Fuqua went on TO call atten-
ton to the fact that cottonseed oil
mills are being put in operation
down the Denver within a hundred
miles or so of Amarillo and that the
product from these mills would mean
fat cattle for the packery here. He
also told of cotton growing that is
being begun west of here around Tu-
cumcari, and Of alfalfa possibilities
which mean more hogs, and he called
attention to Amarillo's location as
regards present roads and roads
which are now in prospect Stating
in conclusion that the people of the
Panhandle had big IDEAS and always
had a good eye for promising enter
prlses. Mr., Fuqua reviewed to Mr..
Butts the condition Of five Amarillo
banks with capital Of $t,000,000 and
deposits OF nearly $3,OOO,O0O and
that all the banks had ample vault
capacities and that they expect to
get more money "as soon as some
more people move in here from the
north" and that he fully expected to
see Amarillo's capital as shown by
her bank statements, fully double the
present figures in two or three years.
