Young eessars In Mining Campo.

THE mining camp child usually de-
velops into the greatest beggar as a
class that child life ever Sees" said H.
D. Smith of Milwaukee. Il have never
been in a mining camp yet where there
we're children that one of them did not
stop me every now and then and ask
for some money or piece of ore.
Their plaintive walls are heard on
all sides.
"A story is told OF little girl in
Dawson who made It her custom to ask
every miner she saw for nugget. She
was cute little thing, and her re-
quest was nearly always acceded to-
After a while she had $4,000 worth Of
nuggets collected in this fashion. AS a
rule the miner is a generous fellow,
particularly in gold camp where the
Inhabitants have prospered and where
most Of the men have claims of their
own. Nearly all Of them carry loose
gold around in their pockets and think
nothing OF giving little chunks of it
away.
In camps where they are not thus
supplied with gold they usually are
free with their money and the begging
child is tossed anything from nickel
to a dollar. Duluth Herald

day schools of the Chinese are all
well enough, but if they really want
the gospel they ought to be willing to
take it from the lips of men teachers.
That recalls a fact in the experience
of a Catholic church in New York.
It established Sunday school for
the Chinese, but the teachers were
young priests doing missionary work.
After the first meeting there were few
pupils and when the reason was asked
one Chinaman said put in Mclean
gals and the pupils would be forth
coming. The priests discontinued
their school, being unwilling to offer
mp American girls to the lascivious
orientals. The low caste Chinaman,
The kind we have in this country, are
willing to do more than profess an
interest in Jesus Christ in order to
get close to an American girl. It's
the girl, not the gospel, that attracts
them, this is the evidence of every
SUM and missionary worker in the
large cities. The only question to be
asked is whether a Chinaman's soul
Is worth more than an American
girls body? 1t has been disclosed in
New York that a great many of the
white women married to Chinese are
women who began as Sunday school
teachers or slum workers. Instead
of ,;f;'ng up the heather, they simply
succeeded in pulling themselves down
to their level
