AWED THE STUDENTS.
Jean Richepin's First Lesson as an In
structor In Literature.

jean hlcheplnS FIRST Lesson as an IN
structor In Literature.
At the age Of twenty-five Jean Richie
pin, the French poet and dramatic au-
thor, accepted a place as instructor in
literature in a school which prepared
students for the military college of
st. Cyr. His employers warned him
that the future army officers took very
little interest In belles-lettrcs and that
their principal occupation in class was
raising chaos.
Richepin's first lesson began amid
a storm of whistling and catcalls. But
the young instructors voice doomed
out above the uproar and imperouSly
commanded silence. "Gentlcmen," he
said, II am not here because | like it.
i am here for my living. Is any one
of you going to stand in the way? If
there Is. | should be obliged if he will
tell me so face to face on the Place du
Pantheon. where | am ready to meet
him at any time. And inaSmuCh as we
are all of us about the same age, you
understand, of course, that the inter
view will be with bare fists"
And, so saying. young Richepin
brought his clinched hand down upon
the desk, and the desk broke in two,
and he and his pupils lived happily
ever afterward. Thus runs the official

CHINESE CUNNING.


in officials Subtle Scheme For Secur-
ing His Prisoners.
One of the funniest stories about
chinatown Is not really Chinese. 1t
was told by a British consul at one of
the treaty ports. He arrested nine de-
linquent Chinese, intending to turn
them over to the tender mercies of the
native magistrate next morning. Mean
while he gave them into the custody
of a Chinese policeman, telling him to
lock them up, though there was no Jail
UT the consulate. But the policeman
was equal to the emergency. He SOL
EMMY saluted, saying, II obeyH and
marched his men off. Soon he return
ed and announced that they were
safely Gagged.
The consul was curious to see how
and where. He followed his police
man to the yard. There he saw the
nine prisoners dancing round the con-
sulate Flagstaff, lugubriously chanting
the Chinese equivalent of ring around
a rosy" Whenever the dance showed
signs of tagging the policeman stirred
them up with long pole. They seem
ed at first sight to be holding each
others hands. but, looking closer, the
consul saw that they were handcuffed
together.
We'll" said the consul, IF they are
chained in a ring around the flagstaff
they can certainly not get away. But
why do you make them dancer"
"Ah." answered the Chinese police
man, with infinite cunning, 80 that
they cannot climb up the pole and get
away"
The consul broke out into loud
British laugh and tried to explain to
the Chinaman that the nine prisoners
could certainly not all climb up the
pole at once. but the Chinaman had
his idea and held to It, SO the dance
went on.-Harper's Weekly.

G. w. Solomon Falls From
Tramway.
FOUND BY FELLOW -WORKMEN
Victim Took Short Cut to
Spring in Quarry.
Exact Cause Of Fall Not Known
Skull Factured and Serious Inter-
nal Injuries the Result of Twenty
Foot Plunge.

An accident that will probably re-
suit fatally occurred this morning
about . o'clock at the owens quar-
rles at owens, when G. w. Solomon
fell from tramway, fracturing his
skull and sustaining internal injuries
Although there were a dozen en-
ployes within sight of the tramway
no one saw him fall. A jug discov-
cred close by the unconscious man
gives credence to the suppositiOn that
he attempted to take short cut to
spring in the quarry by walking
down the narrow tramway upon which
cars We're hauled to the stone crush
er. Either descending or enroute to
the platform upon winch he operated
the tram lever, Solomon missed his
footing, fell a distance of twenty feet
and landed on his face and head. The
Hess Il Market ambulance was called
and transferred the injured man to
the Sawyer santarium whore exami-
nation disclosed badly fractured
skull, fractured arm and internal
| injuries the extent of which can not
be determined until the patient has
| recovered from the stupor caused by
the skull fracture. His face and head
are badly battered and cut.
Solomon has been employed at in
tervals at the quarries for the past
fifteen years, during which time he
probably lost respect for the dangers
attendant upon his work. Three years
ago he was injured i'm wreck on the
| c., ID. Il NJ which left him partially
crippled. The attending physicians
state his condition is dangerous and
mold out very little hope for his re-
| covery.

shortly after o'clock this morning
from the residence of T.. c. Allen on

burglars were in the house. On ac-
count of the electric current being

could not light the red light on the

before the police were notified.
Officers CusCk and Hostetter an

veloped the fact that burglars did not
get inside and We're probably fright

COPPER TRADE CONDITIONS.-Walk-

lower Lake is 137sc to 14c, and eleetrolytic
of foreign speculative accounts on the Lon
don Metal Exchange is resulting in irreSU-

is to some extent responsible for the easier
tone of the domestic market. American
producers have every confidence in the sit

sumption of copper. already al high water
mark. is steadily increasing The outlook
for the coming year is very satisfactory.
Undoubtedly considerably more copper will
go into consumption In 1910 than in any
previous year in the history of the trade
The belief is quite generally held in pro-
ducing circles that consumption will Suf-
existing surplus and force prices well above
15c in the closing months of the year. A
very great deal depends, of course, upon
the state of domestic business confidence.
that the popular agitation of trusts, aggra-
waited by the high cost OF living, the gov
ernment investigations of corporations and
the activity of the so-called inSurgent fac
ton in Congress may unSettle confidence
and cause a temporary check to our in
dustrial expansion. Other leading business
and financial interests. however, who have
given this matter very careful attention
feel that agitation OF this character hav-
ing been kept up for three years past, is
has already been passed. and that il is al
together improba BILE that the country will
again be called upon TO face such severe
shocks as 1t received from the banking
posures in connection with the American
Sugar investigation. The country has
entered upon what promises TO be a long
period Of great prosperity. and il is better
