come about that China has been
forced reluctantly to quite large &C

chara cteriZe the Western civilization,
and much progress has already been
made along this line.
AS China becomes more ana more
adept in the Western ways or THINK

the life of the world. She is a country
of teeming millions and enormous re-

disposition OF the Chinaman is pacific.
He is content to go his own way ana
the most that he asks the Western
world is to be let alone. 1t follows.

be along the lines of industrial ana

those of military and naval aggression.
The average Chinaman knows

upon a few cents a day, and yet he IS
one of the most patient and persistent
workers on the face of the earth. just
what the outcome will be of his
gradual adoption of Western military
methods and Western machinery, with
its large increase in the national
capacity for production, both in agri-
cultural and manufacturing lines, it is
difficult to conjecture, but already the
great Chinese Empire is attracting a
large share of attention among the
nations of the West and developments
there in the next few decades are apt
to be so radical and far reaching as to
exercise an important bearing at least
upon the commercial and Industrial
future of the world

Those people who have predicted
York District Attorney would step
down and out at the close of his pres
ent term of office. are not quite so
sure of it now as they were a while
ago. They are forced to admit that he
is still a good deal of a live wire. He
is certainly a picturesque campaigner
and, despite the criticisms that have
attended the conduct of his Office, he
still retains, to d marked degree the
confidence and respect of the New
York voters. Starting in public life as
Democrat he soon found himself at
odds with Tammany Hall. AS a re
suit he was turned down by his PARTY.
Nothing dauntcd he ran for district at
torney on an independent ticket and
the way he went after Tammany Hall
will not soon be forgotten by the lead
ers of that corrupt organization, whom
he assailed with a vigor and a wealth
Of rldlCule which they were pOWerleSs
to combat Never in it's history was
Tammany 50 thoroughly discrcdited
with the voters of the great Metropo-
lis. Jerome was elected by a heavy
majority, and amid the plaudits of the
people. Recent events have demon

Tammany is beginning to fear him.
and it is said that some of its most
prominent leaders are strongly urging
the organization to endorse his candi-
dacy rather than to go up against him

people. however, who believe that
he would reject a Tammany nomina-

America the Comfortable.

People with an average income of from
81 600 to $1,000 year live in far more con-
venient houses in America than in Eng
land The matter of water, heat. light

sisted upon with us, and is lacking to an
appalling extent in English country or
even town houses and also in the more
pretentious country houses themselves.
The houses of the poorer classes, labor

mere boxes, with none of the conven-
fences to which Americans even of the
poorer classes are accustomed.-Scrib-

A woman can be proud of her hus-

There's nothing gives a woman more
satisfaction than to speak of the family

The thing that makes a woman sus-

For a Commemorative Mind.

II doesn't always take Il far-seeing man

A man feels like a fish oMt of water

Misery loves company, but that is no
reason why a man should be a recluse.
If we could read the future as we can
the past it would probably be just as un-
satisfactory.
The only man who can afford to dive UP
to his ideals is the one who is satisfied to
remain poor.
It's all right to whisper sweet nbthings
but if a fellow really wants to marry he
must make a noise like real money.
