foundation OF that historic city have
been accustomed to have all births and

In the city register.
A few years Thomas James got
married and after a honeymoon of
eighteen months abroad returned home
with little Jimmie James as one OF the
most valuable acquisitions of their
foreign trip.
AS was the long standing custom of
the family. the proud parents wanted
Jimmie's birth recorded in the city
registry, but the city clerk politely in
formed them that 1t would be impos-
sible to oblige them, since the child
was born not only out OF the city but
in another land.
After much exhortation and influ-

AN EXPLORER
IN MANCHURIA
Hardships He Suffered in the
Wilds of Northern
Asia.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

There arrived here recently from tho
far east q passenger on the steamer
A%shtabula, Frank n. Meyer, an ex-
plorer in the service of the department
of agriculture, who for the last three
years has been ransacking the prime
val forests of Asia in the interests of
Uncle Sam and the people of this
country. He brought back with him
a story of adventure on hitherto UNI
suffering and a collection of young
trees that he believes will be inval-
liable additions to the forests and or
chards Of America. He also brought
two monkeys, guaranteed immune
against any ordinary kind Of cold and
able to whistle tunes. The whistling
is United States, the tunes Chinese.
Among the agricultural specimens
brought home by Meyer are bamboo
trees of different species, and this
bamboo the explorer regards the most
valuable part of his collection.
"A lumber famine in the United
States is a certainty" said Meyer, be-
fore many years, and 1T will near
much to tho country II before that
time we can introduce the bamboo
tree. The bamboo is the most use
full tree in the world. 1t grows quick
poses for which it can be utilized. In
China the bamboo is used for making
stakes, fences, baskets, ROOF thing, wal
ter pipes, rop and hundreds of other
purposes. The green sprouts Of the
arnbO are edible and boiled or fried
are to be preferred, in my opinion. to
asparagus"
Meyer also has brought a large num-
Der Of ornamental trees, such as dwarf
lemons and spruces. The monkeys he
caught in the Mountains north OF Pc
kin, where they live in the snow. He
brought them for the geological gar
dens in Washington, where the eli
mate has hitherto proved too trying
for the ordinary monkey. A popularity
OF these monkeys is their ability to
whistle.
Meyer was treated with the great
est consideration in China, but in
Manchuria n Corea, japanese Of
f1cials put every obstacle hat they
dared in his way. He was obliged to
go to Port Arthur for a military pas
port that would take him through
M%anchuria. Ever his credentials, the
best that Uncle Sam could furnish,
did not entirely disarm Japanese sus-
picion.
Meyer was attacked by outlaws
at K~habarowsk in Siberia. One of
them threw a bag over his head while
two others grabbed his arms. He man.

he drew his dagger and drove the

weeks in the wilds he lived entirely

THE man WHO
WOULDN'T WORRY
The Working Out Of Hezekiah
Doolittle's Theory of
Hopefulness.
From the Youths Companion.

His name was Hezekiah Doolittle
and he was blessed with a sanguine
temperament. When he proposed to
Annie Warner she inquired what means
he had with which to support a wife.
None whatever" said tho cheerful
iteZekiah. but poverty is no disgrace.
and some day l expect to strike 1t
rich"
They were married and went to live
with Annie's parents until something
turned up" Hezeliah passed by the
small jobs looking for something big,
but he was always on hand for meals.
Annie frettcd because they were a
burden on her parents and chided him
for his inaction.
Don't worry" said he. ut will spoil
our beauty
Hezekiah lived up to his own creed
and refused to worry, no matter how
great the provocation. Even when An
MES parents turned them out he was
perfectly calm. 1.-The Lord will pro-
vide!" he exclaimed placidly, but his
wife wasted no time in talk. She rent
ed a small cottage, bought some fur
niture on credit and took in washing.
The debt on the furniture will soon
be due" she reminded him one day.
Never trouble trouble until trouble
troubles you" quoted Hezekiah.
So his wife did plain sewing at night
to increase their scanty income. Then
a baby was born and Anna was I'M
able to work. What shall we dog"
she cried.
Don't worry. 1t win injure your
health" soothed Hezekiah. II am still
expecting something to turn up"
Annic's folks helped them for a wear
and then h rented a larger house
and took in boarders.
Tho rent will soon be due" she told
her husband as h glanced a~nxiously
at the calendar.
Take no thought for the morrow"
reproved Hezckiah. 1.-The morrow win
take thought for the things OF itself"
Annie worked harder. Her cares in
creased us the family increased. and
she lost her beauty, her health and her
temper.
You worry too much" demonstrated
her usban why don't you take a
hopeful view OF life. as 1 do?"
Human endurance has it's limits, and
the end anne at last. Annie died of
everwork, her parents took the chill
dren and the hopeful Hezekiah was
left to Shift for himself.
THE world owes me a living said
he. so he took to the road. AS he
tramped out OF the little village, past
he little country cemetery, his ewes
u out the unsodded grace Of his
wife and he sighed.
The ways of Providence are inscru-
