prIntersI Union,

I found many queer things in the man
ageraent Of this newspaper office. In the
first place, the printers are not hired indi-
~vidually. A contract is made with the
foreman. who sets up the paper at so
much per day and employs his own as
sistants. In this he has TO conform to
the printers union. for everything in
China Is done By guilds and labor or
ganixatlons. The employers have also a
union. and so nave the newsdealers. The
prOprlstors have TO pay the latter guild
30 much for each copy OF their creula-
lions. and they dare not push their sales

Eight men have been chosen to translate
the foreign papers, and his highness has
these classified and pasted away in a scrap
book. 1t is said that Yuan Shin Kais owned

They want F'orelgn New..

Now that China is adopting the new
civilization, the high officials are anxious
to learn what is going ON all over the
world. They are studying public opinion
in New York, Berlin and London; and
they watch the market reports. China is
borrowing many millions Of dollars from
outside nations 10 develop her country as
to railways and other things, and tho
government has 10 know what goes on
abroad. The Associated Press kilograms
are forwarded 10 the viceroys and 10 the
cabinet officers at Peking as soon as they
are received, and they are translated and
read before they appear in the newspa-
pers.
The government officers are greedy for
articles about China, and one Of the lead
ing cabinet ministers at Peking recently
told his Interpreter to give him q full
translation OF the London Times from day
to day. The man protested that such a
thing was impossible as we'll as unneces-
sary, saying that the English local news
and the announcement OF marriages, births
and deaths we're OF no value TO China. The
cabinet minister replied that he wanted
the whole thing, and that he would get
another Interpreter. l am told that the
Times is now translated for him.

Mark Hanna and the Boy.


When Senator Hanna was walking
through his factory In Cleveland, some
years ago, on the lookout for new ideas or
anything which would aid the progress of
business, he overheard a little r~ed-headed
lad remark:
Wish l had old Hanna money and he
was In the ~poOThouse."
The senator returned to his office, relates
the National Magazine, and rang to have
the boy sent to him. The boy came to the
office timidly, just a bit consclence-stricken
and wondering II his remark had been
overheard and ready for the penalty. AS
the lad twisted his hands and nervously
stood on one foot before the gaze of those
~twinkling dark eyes fixed on him by the
man at the desk. he felt the hand OF Uncle
Mark on his shoulder:
80 you wish you had old Hanna's money
and he was in the ~poorhouse, EN-? Suppose
your wish should be granted, what would
you do?"
why" the lad, the first
thing 1 would do, sir, would be to get you
out of the poorhouse."
The senator laughed and sent the boy
back to his work. Today he is one of the
managers OF a large factory, but he never
tires of telling the story that held his first

to go.
