YOUNG PRISONER OF STATE.


rive Year Old chinese LIrl HAS bceR
Held Here Four Years.
The youngest prisoner In the Uni
ted States Is Yute Ho il. aged Ave.
She has been a prisoner OF Uncle
Sam for more than four years. says
the San Francisco Bulletin. The crime
for which she is paying the penalty
is the crime OF being a girl baby.
which In China is a crime indeed.
She was born In an interior village
In China. and her mother was very
glad to take the $40 offered by
woman who went there from San
Francisco TO buy slave girls for the
San Francisco Chinatown.
She was happy, this slave dealer,
her return journey. and she shuffied
easily along the pier when she left
the boat. The inspectors all knew
her, for she had been back and forth.
many times. 1t was because they
knew her that they questioned her
about the little bundle in her arms.
She told them the baby was her own.
for 1t Is lie that comes first TO a
Chinamans lips.
This was her undoing II the court
she added lie to lie. but In the end
the Judge knew that the baby had
not been born to her. The infant
could not be deported, Because no
amount of questioning could make
the woman reveal the home OF the
child. On the other hand, she could
not be entered, and babies under
year are too little 10 go to Jail At
length the Judge decided TO turn his
little prisoner over to mission that
makes business OF rescuing Chi
nese slave women, with the agree
ment OF 40 cents day for her board.
In the four years she has been at
the mission Yute Ho il has BECOME
the pet of the household, and II

AMERICAN INVENTIVE GENIUS.
Trend Of Present Activity is to Facil-

Since the establishment OF the
Patent ONCE there have been in all
about 100000 patents applied for,
and approximately 10000 patents
were examined last year. To-day
America leads the world. as 1t has
done for a long time. in inventions
of every kind.
The Patent Office has no statistics
OF the number of patents on any one
subject but those who have been
working on the files of the Office for
years tell of tendencies along certain
lines OF activity. For instance. In
1s96. at the height OF the bicycle
craze. when, instead OF the usual

and steam and Sas engines. The
number is on the increase every

The desire OF the human family
to initiate the birds and fly through
the air is shown by the number Of
patents on that kind of invention.
Only five or six month appear at
the present time, but this division Is
looked upon as sure of growth. The

The JOYS of the Pluuger.

1t is estimated that everywhere
only about five people in fifty who
bet on races ever win anything. II
this were not the case, bookmakers
could not live. The odds are so
placed as to encourage betting and
at the same time provide a large
margin of success for the book
maker. But 1t is Just the possibility
of winning a big stake for little out
lay that constitutes the fascination
OF betting for the average frequenter
of the tracks. These risky plungers
generally wager small amounts, but
the aggregate sums invested are
large; as the bookmakers know very
well. in nothing is the old saying

Child Murder I'm Caledonia.

This tale comes from New Gale
donia, where a ship was loading up
with natives to work In Australia:
There was man and girl-a
young couple, they seemed. She had
youngster, who began yelling at
sight of the boat. Can't take that
youngster!' the boss shouted. The
woman said she wanted to come,
too. No. we can't ship that squalling
little beast. Leave him with his
suntie' There was no auntie in
sight. So the Kakaka man. after
taking a look around caught the kid
die by the heels. swung her round
like a rabbit. and dashed her head
against a tree. She was only a girl
anyway, he said. and sluDg her body
into the scrub. Then they both
hoped into the boat and were
shipped aboard"

Deaf, FROM PLAGUE IN INDIA.
Until Rcc"rtIy no Action Taken by
the ENGLISH Government,

tht Ell 'ilSu uOVCTuIIltuI.
In 1908 the number of deaths from
plague In India was $4,000; In
1904 in was over 100000, being
1,040, 900. or the 100000 deaths
more than $4,000 occurred in one
province, and that province was the
Pun1ab. the one from which some OF
our best Indian soldiers are recruit
ed. Consider the possible signifi-l
canoe OF fact like this upon the eff
cheney of our Inlian army. The
Punjab is not a large province. it's
actual population being about co.
100000, or only two-thirds that OF
England, and yet the deaths In the
Punjab during 1904 from plague
amounted to over 100000 in the
course Of twelve weeks only.
We believe that these figures,
which have been published before,
have never been contradicted, though
they seem incredible. What would
be thought, said or done In England
II in the course of twelve weeks ..yer
100000 persons were swept off by
the disease? Surely there would bsI
something like a panic. And II this
destruction threatened to be an az
nual one would not any inactivity
the part of the authorities in who
prevention is vested be deeply re-
sented?
The small number of deaths fro n
plague in Hong Kong and the Maui
thus Is regularly published every
week In the daily papers, and pre-
sumably the information comes from
official sources, but the mortality
which occurs In India from the same
disease, and which by its magnitude
is danger not only to India, but to
the world. is never pubilshed-it IL
not considered wholesome reading.
Three and a half millions of peo-
pie have died from the plague an In
dIa since 1896. and the proposal to
send out two intercollegiate to look
into the causes Of the tragedy strikes
us as inadequate. however capable

Most digesters rely on pepsin.
But pepsin digests albumen only.
1t is but one of the elements need
ed.
Starch, fats and phosphates each
require something else.
Then half of digestion is done in
the bowels, and pepsin can't do
that.

Kodol has all those ingredients.
