TOLD 1T ALL IN FEW WORDS.
Picturesque and Virile Language Of
the Far West is Well
illustrated.

Are western people more pictur-
esque in the use of language than
those of other states?
Are westerners able to say more in
a few words than the people of any
other part of the world?
These questions, started at club,
brought out a number of arguments,
pro and con. Some contended that
the language of the westerner, though
undoubtedly virile, did not convey all
the different shades of meaning that
lish could do.
That is nonsense" broke in a man,
who has spent most of his life on the
coast; western man can say more

THE GaEAT WALL CT C.1:,..,.'
interesting Facts About Chin and the
Mighty Rampant He Built To
Inclose Empire.

To superstitious notions Chin added
the lust of luxury, his life being a
blaze of oriental magnificence. He
built wonderful palace, which has
been described in the Imperial History
as having certain gorgeous anneXes
attached at intervals, the whole eX-
tending over a distance of 100 miles.
In consequence of his life of luxury
perhaps, he became more and more
a prey to superstition, and it may be
that because of this he completed the
Great Wall. At any rate, history re-
cords that he was informed by pro-
phecy that in time he would be over
whelmed and destroyed by outside
enemies. So he mobilized an army of
100000 men to work on the Great
Wall. and if necessary to fight in his
behalf. Chin's design evidently was
to inclose his massive empire in a
rampant which should have the shape
of horseshoe with the heel calks at
the ocean shore. He did not plan to
parallel the coast with wall, doubt
less considering that seaside an ample
protection to country vast and dense
ly populated.
The wall is not for modern use; 1t
is an ancient fossil, the largest fossil
on the earth. But fossils are useful
and truthful. 1t is a dividing line be-
tween two civilizations and between

Are Your Hands Thln2

Scrawny hands, with the bones and
veins showing, are usually a sign in
young persons of badly Impoverished
condition of the system.
If this is the case, the only way to
improve them Is by consulting doc
tor.
There Is possibility, however. that
they are merely hereditary, with no
attendant lack of health or vitality.
In this case they may be improved
in appearance.

CALIFORNIA; INDEPENDENCE

There Is nothing particularly
strange in the claim Of Senator San.
ford, of the California senate, that
President Roosevelt is interfering
when he tries to persuade the Cali
fornia legislature to refrain from
passing anti-Japanese Legislation.
! The presidents field Of activity is so
large that it is the common thing to
accuse him of "butting in. whenev-
err he opposes the wishes Of others In
Idaho, for instance, his forestry pol
icy is literally abused by certain
newspapers, on the ground that it
interfefes with mining development,
and there are other instances almost
without end. But the California
Senator, whether right or wrong in
his criticitm of the president, is
wrong when he says California is
able TO take care Of herself. 1t will
be remembered that when the Japa-
nese school trouble in San Francisco
was at fever heat, the Californians
were more than anxious to have an
American fleet Of large proportion in
Pacific waters. And there was a
hlrrying back and forth Of secretar-
lea. diplomats and messages. that the
event should be saved from produc-
ing an international crisis. Since
that time, the old friendly feeling be-
tween the United States and Japan
his been considerably strengthened,
snd the feet has been over there to
show the Japs the fighting strength |
Of our navy. And it has been gener-
ally believed that the affairs which
might provoke trouble between the
two nations have been amicably set
tied by the diplomats. The emigra-
ton Of Japanese labor to this coun
try has been stopped. and the school
difficulty settled. But that was not
done by California. although much
of it was for California. The Cali
fornia legislature doubtless has the
inalienable right to pass such laws
as it sees fit, if they are kept within
the limit of the constitution, but it
mas not the right Of fairness. justice
nor common sense to pass laws to
larrass such orientals as the govern
nent has given permission to come
o this country, or to stay here if al
'eady arrived. Such legislation {
would be wrong towards the Japs
