PUNK STICKS SMOLDER,
San Francisco Cinnamon Celebrating
What Promises to Be Prosperous
New Year

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Feb. TO-
With punk sticks smoldering before
many josses, fire crackers popping in,
cessantly in gaily bedecked and. bril-.
liantly lighted streets and spending more
money than in many seasons, Chinatown
is celebrating what promises to be an
unusually prosperous new year. Ac-
cording to the manager of the Canton
bank. $4,000 has been changed into
quarters by the well-to-do Chinese for
gifts to the poorer cousins and servants.
China lilies IN bulbs and bloom are being
lavishly distributed, along with lychee
nuts and the sweet candy so dear to the
oriental palate. Mayor McCarthy's re-
cent proclamation deciding that Chinese
may follow their Legitimate gambling
games" has added to the joyful spirit
of the celebration

LAST OF THE JACOBITES.
Theodore Napier Still Ready to De-

fend the Stuart Cause.
Here is stanch supporter Of the
Scotch claims to the throne of Britain,
who despite the fact that he is failing
fast in health makes an annual pill
grimage to the tomb of Mary Queen of
Scots.
SO firmly does King Edward and his
line seem settled on the British throne
that it is startling to find an ardent
remnant of Scottish Jacobites declar-
ing he is a base usurper.
They still cling to the claims of the
Stuarts, though over 200 years have

be seen in the streets of Edinburgh,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Every

Many Scotsmen declare there is no
King Edward VII of Scotland, for
former Edwards did not rule the north
ern half of Britain. But their objec-
ton Is not pressed hard, and they are
loyal enough to the house of Guelph.
Not so this venerable Jacobite.
Whenever there is celebration of q
Scottish national event, there he is to
plead for the glorifcation of Scotland
as distinct from England. At a recent
dinner in Edinburgh, when the toast Of
'@The King" was proposed, he refused
to join, and when remonstrances rained
upon him, the hoary Scotsman leaped
to his feet and challenged any traitor
to the Stuart cause" to meet him with
claymore, battle-ax or dirk" at the
same time casting a gauntlet at their
feet, in his best dramatic manner.
Nowadays, when the highlands are
overrun every day by English and
American financial magnates, who
sport themselves in kilt and bonnet,
Scotsmen are loath to wear the caro-

Napier regards il as "the only wear"
In no other costume would he consent

FINDING THE RICH SELF

Ey Henry f. Cope.
Whoever will lose his life for nv
sake shall find it."-Matt. xvi, %.
We all recognize the wickedness OF
selfishness in its grosser aspects. but
do we realize its folly in almost any
of its forms? Selfishness is regarded
as sin; we do not yet regard it as
suicide of our own best. as defeating
It's own purposes, as being, not simply
violation OF some ideal code, but q
foolish robbery and despoiling of our
own selves
On us all rests the obligation to
bring self to its fullness, to realize our
own powers, enter into our own posi-
bilities. We dare not fall anywhere
in life, nor stop short of being all
that we might be. In the long iudg
ment OF the ages we will find our
places according as we have really
found and fulfilled ourselves.
A real danger of some types of re-
ligious thinking is that they shall
miss self-realization in fleeing from
seldshness. Many would rather shrink
than grow; they seek to prove their
sanctity BY the way they shrivel into
their shells. II religion is a process
Of denying the beauty and reality of
this life in order to assert the virtues
of hypocriticaI existence it can have
no value for US here.
No man is more likely to yield to
the subtle temptation of selfishness
than he who thinks to please his God
by blotting himself out of all real ex-
istence. He Is selfishly and falsely
spiritual, seeking escape from life's
real business and burdens, shrinking
from its duties, and really coveting an
angels ease when he should take up
a mans work.
But the selfishness we most need to
fear IS that which shrinks and blasts
4he finest in US when we imagine that
we are reaching out for the enriching
OF our lives. 1t Is that paralysis OF
the soul which creeps gradually over
one who falls into thinking Of life as a
scheme Of each getting all from others
and the universe as grabbag In which
the biggest hand gets the eternal prize.
The folly Of that way of living is
Just In the fact that, though a man
should gain the whole world by the
very process he would lose hh own
