The Early Shopper.

She wears a smile Of broad delight;
Her JOY is happy to behold;
She doesn't lie awake at night,
Nor Is she looking worn and old,
Dissatisfaction fills her breast;
Her mind with trouble is not fraught
The cause Of it is plainly guessed
She has her Christmas presents
bought
She is not puzzled in the least
Regarding what she ought to buy;
That Christmas misery has ceased
To stare her daily in the eye.
She doesn't join in the awful rush,
Nor in the surgng mob get caught;
She's thankful to escape the crush
She has her Christmas presents
bought!
While Others push their way about,
And ask the price Of this or that,
And then 20 home all tired out,
And scarcely knowing where they'r
at,
She noW ptrsues her even way
Last year a lesson she was taught
Now she's prepared against that day
She has her Christmas presents
bought
o woman, in your hours of ease,
Why don't you emulate this dame?
You wouldn't be so hard to please,
If YOU were early in the game!
Don't wait until the rush is here.
For all your search win be for naughti
just let me whisper in your ear,
Have you your Christmas presents
bought?

the end draws near President Taft's
message toa Harrisonburg newspaper
man saying that he knew nothing Of
the reported removal Of John Acker
as referee in favor OF John Paul, the
anti-organization candidate for Con-
gress, failed to throw damper on the
Paul forces.
John Pau's newspaper, which is
published by his brother, declares that
John Paul has been informed by
certain leaders in the Taft administra-
ton that Paul has landed the honor.
II claims that Paul has letters OF a
personal or private nature which prove
the case.
On the other hand, the Acker-Kee-
zeIIman forces contend that the presi-
dents letter definitely settles the
matter that John Acker is still on the
job.
It Is generally believed that both
factions have their friends with the
administration and that they are not

The Chinese Queues.

Washington, Nov Albany OF the
BARRIERS OF this town are hoping for an
increase in business through the edict
reported to have been issued at Pekin
directing all foreign representatives
OF the celestial empire to cut off their
queues they will be sadly disillusioned,
for, it was learned today there are not
a handful OF genuine Chinese queues
in the whole legation. The present
minister, Chang Yin Tang, Is n pro-
grcssive and he and his family have
done away with the ancient custom OF
wearing queues. Over half OF his suite
have taken advantage OF his example
and il is suspected that Of the others
at the legation who cling to the custom,
many have false queues, so that a
gentle pull would be sufficient for
them to carry out the order OF the
throne.
The idea which prevails in this
country. exclaimed member 81 the
system today, that queues must be worn
by Chinese is entirely erroneous. The
story is told in this country that a
Chinese who cut off his queue can no
longer go back to China This is not
true, for the law which was originally
laid down to Chinese to wear queues
has long since been dead letter. The
fact that most celestals cling to the
customs is simply proof OF the tena.
city with which they hang on to old
customs. However, many OF the
Younger Chinese are now wearing
their hair in European fashion.
This is particularly true among the
student class and the army and navy
officers. A young Chinese diplomat
told Of dinner attended by him and
two dozen Chinese students in this city.
| All of the guests wore Chinese costumes
and queues Accidentally one diner
pulled at the queue Of his neighbor and
it CONE off. This caused several coun-
ter charges as t. whose queues was
genuine and a genuine rough house
tusscl proved that every Chinese ID the
room wore false queue.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 4.-Notices
were sent out today by the State Health
Department cautioning local health
officers OF the arrival in various Virginia
cities and towns OF emigrants from
cholera infected regions Of Italy and
Russia. None Of these newcomers
showed any signs of cholera when they
were examined at Ellis Island and all
Of them were in healthy condition,
but as they come from parts OF Europe
where cholera has been menacing dur
ing the past summer, the state authori-
ties think it best to follow the move
ments OF the immigrants and to keep
them under the eye Of health officers.
The immigration service has fur
nished the State Health Department
with the names OF all immigrants to
Virginia from cholera infected re.
gions who have arrived during recent
weeks, and will continue to furnish
such names as long as any cholera re-
mains in Europe. As soon as these
names are received here, they are for
yarded to the local health authorities,
with the request that the immigrants in
question be closely watched in case OF
suspicious illness and that every effort
be made TO detect possible cholera car
riers. The department has taken these
precautions but does not in the slight
est fear an outbreak OF cholera, es-
pecially since the adoption Of the new
health regulations which are as efficient
for the conquest Of cholera as for other
diseases.
