that human nature is not only frail

STOPPING THE PAPER.

individual came in the Office and
stopped his paper because something
in it did not just exactly suit his
fancy.
We have frequently met him on
the street since then, and it is anus
ing to note the look of surprise, on
the old fellows face when he re-
alizes that the editor is still in ex-
istence, regardless of the fact that
We are no longer getting his sl.oo.
Some day, however-and it will
not be long-that old gentleman
will turn up his toes. His heart
will be stilled forever. There will
be display of pretty posies and
crepe and the neighbors and friends
will follow his lifeless clay out to the
Silent City and lay it to rest in the
deep, dark tomb.
An obituary will be published in
this paper, telling what kind hus-
band. loving father, good neighbor,
beloved citizen, and how progressive
and public-spirited he was-which
the recording angel will overlook for
sweet charity's sake-and in short
time he will be forgotten.

NO CHHlAMAN CONVERTED.

Referring to the recent murder of
Elsie Siegel in New York by Chi
namon she was trying to convert,
one is tempted to ask whether the
business of missions among the Chi
nese is worth while, since the his
tory of the movement shows that
the Chinaman is more likely to con-
vert the mission worker to opium
than the mission worker is to con-
vert the Chinaman to Christianity.
Sir Robert Hart, for many years
in charge of the Chinese customs,
on behalf of the British Government,
and probably better acquainted with
China and Chinese than any other
white man, has made the frank state
ment that, no matter what mission
arleS may oeneVe ano say, not one
chinaman has ever been really con-
verted to Christianity.
He contends that the sole object
ofattending English-spealting schools
is to learn English and to pick up
foreign methods. and that John Chi
naman's pretense of conversion is
pretense and nothing more.
There are more white heather in
New York than all the Cinnamon
mission will ever convert, here or in
China. And such girls as Elsie ST.
gel can find better employment fol-
their energies among the children Of
the American poor than among the
almond-eyed devils of the Chinese
hells, infested by the very worst o.
the underworld.

AN INTERNATIONAL INSULT.

Now CONES the aeroplane hat. We
might have known it. In fact, the
greatest wonder about it is that it
has taken such long time in start
ing. 1t is on its way to New York
from Paris-that den of decorative
iniquity-to attend a Gotham hat
show. Its fell purpose is to take a
prize if possible, and if not, to start
a millinery roush-house.
The new creation is pretty little
thing. 1t has huge feathers amid
ships to represent wings. Fore and
aft from the head projects the car.
The meager reports we have up to
date do not mention the gasoline
engine, the propellers, the passen-
gers, the noise, and the smell, but
We feel sure they are symbolically
there.
There is no doubt about it that the
aeroplane bonnet is an actual fact,
and that it has not only been de-
signed, but constructed, assembled,
and shipped. The only question
remaining to be settled is: Will
American women be able to dig up
enough nerve to wear it, That is
what the Partisan inventor wants to
know, from standpoint of idle Gu
riosity, tainted bit with CONNER
cialism. The idea seems to be that
if the new hats do we'll in America,
they are sure to do well in France.

= D..
Consider matrimony, oh, my daugh-
ter, for it Is one long sweet song.
Yes, it is a music box having only
one tune, which it playeth today,
yesterday and forever. Ii IS as un-
changing as the spaghetti of the
Italian table d'hote.
Behold how a married woman
ariseth in the morning at the sound
ing of the alarm clock. She fndeth
her husband s clean socks; she layeth
out his bath towels,
She dusteth the piano and water
eth the rubber plant. She goeth
into the kitchen and consulteth with
the cook; she receiveth the butcher,
and the baker, and the millSman.
She tracketh lost articles unto
their lair; she sendeth her lords suit
unto the tailor's, and gathereth up
the laundry.
She feedeth the cat.
She goeth forth and returneth at
exactly half-past FIVE that she may
curl her pompadour to cheer the eyes
of her lord.
She putteth on fresh dress-yet
he seeth it not.
She telleth him a new joke and
he answereth, Hummr'
She kisseth him on the forehead
and he brusheth her away as a ay
that hath alighted upon him. She
goeth to bed at half-past nine.
And this she doeth for SOS days
in the year.
Then say unto thee condemn not
any wife because she pickett quar-
rel for excitement. Lo! family
row IS the great marital amusement.
And why shall ye interfere in the
pastimeS of man and wife,
For row is diversion and rous-
ing argument letteth off steam and
produceth exhiliraton. 1t is pleas
ant change.
And if they can End naught else
to disagree about, happily mated
couple can quarrel for hours over
whether it is worse to put the mu-
cilase brush in the ink or the pen in
the mucilage.
For before marriage a husband is a
stimulant, but after marriage he be-
cometh sedatiye.
Verify, verify, stale cheese is an
abomination, and stale beer is fat;
but what is so stale as a stale hus-
