Wanted--A Father.

A ragged, hungry little boy stood
peering through the door OF q saloon
One OF the men in passing, asked In
an unkindly tone: What do you
want?" Pm wanting,,- and the
boys lips trembled, I'm wanting
my father, SIR" At one of the
gambling tables he saw his father,
too intent with the game to heed the
imploring face of his little son, who,
with his thin cheeks burning, turned
and ran away.
Oh, the fathers wanted! Heart
broken children need their fathers.
May the bitter needs of children
arouse the fathers that they may
throw off their bondage and be free
to minister to the young souls need

cult in that city.

FEW OPPORTUNITIES IN CHINA.
Learned Professions Offer Little In
ducement to Foreigners.

There are three professions in par
ticular which are attracting the atten-
ton Of foreigners in China" said Dr.
b. M. Perkins of Shanghai in a recent
interview. DR.. Perkins has been in
China over ten years and is in the Uni
ted States on visit to friends and
relatives.
Those three professions are law,
medicine and dentistry The Chinese
people have had all three for ages, but
their practice has been different from
that in other lands, and it will be some
time before Chinese competition in any
of them will be felt except through
foreign training and as result of the
efforts of foreigners.
Chinese medical men have not been
in very good standing among their
own people for many years.
Chinese dentists have done more
than their fellows in the medical line,
and. all things considered, Chinese
dentistry, while it cannot compare
with modern dentistry as practiced ir
America and Europe, especially in the
former, is far above what might have
Deeu ekpeCleQ.
There are no requirements for ad-
mission to the bar in China, for the
reason that there is no bar. Each
consular court has its rules for admis-
sion, and when an attorney is allowed
to practice in one court it is taken as
an international discrimination il any
other consular court does not extend
like courtesy
There is but limited field for the
law in China at best, and most of it is
already occupied by men who are vel!
established, whose business is pro-
tected by the intense conservatism of
the dominant British. 1t can safely
be said that there is little to encour-
age young man entering upon the
practice of law in Chinese port.
Unless he is able to buy his way into
an old established firm his struggle
for business is fully as keen as it
would have been at home, and he has
neither the field to work in nor the re-
strictions to guide him and protect
him from mistakes as he has at home"

Wants Back into Game.

Adrian C. cPop'') Arson, who led
the Chicago club for many years. is
trying to get back into baseball. Pop
has applied to several big league clubs
for position as manager, but SO far
none of the club owners has been re
ceptive. Arson holds the unique rec
ord among ball players as being the
only man among the major leaguers
who can claim batting average of
/, 800 per cent better for consecutive
period of fifteen years.
Hans Wagner is the only player now
in harness who has chance to equal
or surpass Ansons record. The
"Flying Dutchman" up to this year has
reeled off a 800 record for AN even
dozen seasons.
There have been only ten men in the
thirty three years of majo- league
baseball who have batted at 800 per
cent for ten consecutive years.
Arson started in 1876, the first year
