Mrs. F. ]. Larkin, living on Virginia

woman not to hurry him to much. 1t
was at this juncture that Mrs Larkin
used physical force to such an extent
that the hobo was driven to the wall.
He finally managed to escape and

BY WHEELsARRoW IN CHINA.
Two Passengers Go 20 Miles a Day
for Ten Cents Each.

Probably more freight and more
passengers are transported in China
by the wheelbarrow than by any other
land method. The wheelbarrow used
in China differs from that used in
America in the fact that the wheel is
set in the center and thus supports
practically the entire load, while the
handles are supported in part by a
strap or rope over the shoulders Of
the man who operates ii.
As a result the coolie in China will
transport nearly half a ton on his
wheel. Wheelbarrows are much used
in the country where the roads are
but little developed, and I have heard
that passengers sometimes make the
entire trip from Shanghai to Picking, a
distance of 500 miles. by barrow.
A two-passenger barrow will make
about 90 miles a day, and the coolie
is content with pay of about 20 cents
a day, or an average of about half a
cent a mile for each passenger
On the level, well-kept streets OF
the foreign quarters of such cities as
Hongkong, Shanghai and Peking the
wheelbarrow coolie will struggle along
with load of six or even eight people

at Burlington.

The old postoffice fixtures in the
Knots building were moved away to-
day and now nothing remains to show
where U-Acle Sam has held sway for so
many months in Gary. Many of the
residents in that section of the bust

pecting free delivery any month they
feel that it won't make much differ

a new office which is being put in at
that place.
In the space formerly occupied by
the postoffce will be put a five and
ten cent store. The proprietors of this
new business are HeItzer and Pierce of
Flint. Mich. They have part of their

once by superintendent W. H. Gleason,
who took them through the many acres
of sand. and were shown the details
of the work of construction. The in

The SAVING Sense Of h.unor

Each one of an affectionate couple
may be willing. as we say. to die for
the other, yet unwilling to utter the
agreeable word at the right moment;
but if the wits were sufficiently quick
for them to perceive that they are in
a comic situation. as affectionate
couples must be when they quarrel,
they would not wait for the moon or
the almanac, to bring back the food
tide of tender feelings, that they
should join hands and lips.-George
