NEW PRIME MINISTER OF CHINA
Prince Ching IL Known as Crafty,
Evasive and inefficient Official

Prince Ching recently made prime
minister Of China, with cabinet min
istry ostensibly to assist him, is one
of China's newest. largest problems.
The cabinet succeeds the ancient
grand council" which is abolished
by the substitution.
Prince Ching has been for years the
most conspicuous and the most no
torious figure in China. The story OF
his life is the story of China for the
past 81 years-the story of the most
disastrous experience in the history
of the empire. From those disasters
China is now emerging chastened and
strengthened; her future, under new
methods of government, is rich with
promise. Whether constitutional de-
velopment can be guided satisfactor-
lily by decrepit old man. irresolute.
willy, corrupt. and inefficient, is a
question which NAV be disputed.

PUNCHING HIS HARD LUCK
Sufferer From Toothaehe Summoned
Philosophy to His Aid During
Period Of Trouble.

philosophers are not all dead yet"
said the dentist. II met one this
morning who knocked me out of two
hours work on a day when / have
nothing to do anyhow, and will make
me work overtime tomorrow, when
shall be crowded with engagements.
He was bowling with toothache.
Better come around and have 1t
attended to- | said.
Can't do 1t today he said, I'm
too busy
But you can't work when you
are crazy with the toothache?' /
argued.
"'Oh, yes / cam said he. There
are half dozen other things l want
done to me that hurt pretty bad, and
II / have them done when my tooth
is on the rampage they won't seem so
bad, because one hurt will neutralize
the other. ! always take advantage
of toothache to dispatch those dis
agreeable jobs
Maybe not many people could
stand that kind OF philosophy, but APP
parently that man is going to get
away with It,"

Saved by a joker.

Just as the government is sitting
for the biggest legal game II ever
played, the discovery is made that
it is bound to lose and the Southern
Pacific railroad to win S500.000,000 if
the play goes on. The stakes are a
great area of CALIFORNIA; richest oil
lands. They were granted TO the
railroad, with clause in the grant
expressly excepting all mineral lands
save those containing coal and iron.
Most of these lands were patented to
the grantee more than six years ago.
The joker in the situation is a spe-
cial statute of limitation. slipped
through congress in an act Of March
3, 1891, and perfected by another act
of March 2. 1896. The effect of these
acts, as construed by the United
States supreme court, is absolutely
to bar proceedings by the government
to annul a patent to land granted
railroads after six years from the
issuance of the patent. Until they
are repealed. the government has not
a chance on earth TO get back the
lands.

unmixed blood. They raised and sold
nearly all the flowers and vegetable
for the markets of Mexico City. Now
they and their homes and their prod
ucts are no more.
The list of casualties is pouring in
to Mexico City from Tacula, Tacaba-
va, San Angle, Zacapotzalco, Tlalpam,
Pinon and all places in the immediate
vicinity of the capital. The port OF
Manzanillo, state of Colima, that cost
$14.000,000 to build, is badly dam
aged. Twenty-Five persons were kill
ed there No Americans were killed
or injured by the earthquake in Mex
leo.
The volcano Colima, the center or
the seismic disturbance, Is one of the
most troublesome of the Mexican vol
canoes. 1t is situated in the southern
part of the state of Jalisco and is 12,-
27S feet high. History mentions vio-
lent eruptions dating back to the six
teenth century. Since the summer Of
1869 the volcano with the exception
Of few brief periods of quiescence,
has been in a disturbed state. The
eruption of 1896 produced a strong
earthquake which did much damage.
The eruptions of 1902 and 1909 were
spectacular but less devastating.

possibly arrange his affairs to make

May Crop Report.

According to the May crop report
as issued by the secretary, of state
heavy frosts during the first week Of
May, destroyed considerable fruit in
the northern portion of the state.
Many leading varieties of winter APP
pies did not blossom very heavily, con-
sequently the prospect for a good
yield is not very promising. early
apples promise a fair yield. The crop
report shows that the acreage plant
ed to sugar beets in the state this
year exceeds that of any year for the
past five years. The average cen
dition of wheat is 81, in the southern
counties 80, in the central counties
and. upper peninsula SO and in the
northern counties 81.

Months May Pass Ere Toll Is Known.

Because of lack of telegraph facili-
ties and slowness with which the of
ficials of villages in outlying dis
tricts make reports to the govern
ment, it is not improbable months
may pass before an accurate state
ment of the number of earthquake
victims is known.
Special dispatches indicate that the
greatest loss of life was near the
west coast in Colima and Jalisco, al
though no deaths are reported from
Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco.
Tonala and San Andres, near Coli
ma, were almost destroyed. according
to reports. No estimate of the
loss of life has been given.

What clever prankishness was that
OF the boys of West Lafayette college
Ohio. who put oil in the milk for the
girls dormitory. causing twenty OF
the co-eds to become so Ill as to re
quire the attendance of physicians!
They were nearly as daring as the
young men OF the Pacific coast insti.
tuition of learning who raided the
girls dormitories and frightened
some of the occupants into Mysteries
by pulling them out of bed. The
twentieth century young man does
many things that would hardly have
occurred in any earlier age. Is 1t be
cause of the disappearance of the
birch as an aid to education?
