quality of their characters. What we
see Of selfishness is largely a matter
of heredity. and all of life's customs
are in line with it and continually in
creasing its weight and its hold upon
us. But with the new King and the new
reign of righteousness will come the
glorious uplifting and transformation.
Gradually, during the thousand years
Of Messiah's domination of the world,
the evils of selfishness will be made ap-
parent and the beauties of holiness and
love will be shown in contrast.
Restitution rewards will lift all the
willing and obedient up out of sin and
selfishness to holiness and love. Then
with love the very essence of mans be-
ing, good will towards men will every
where prevail because the Divine law,
almost effaced through the reign Of
sin, will be rewritten in the human
constitution. That Law, as we know,
is, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, with all thy mind,
with all thy strength. and thy neigh
Dor as myself"

The Nirtue of TRAVELLING.

There are two great fallacies based
on ancient and rusty saws it were
noble deed to demolish. One is that
travelling is o form Of wrongdoing,
founded belize on the stupid saying
that rolling stone gathers no moss.
A pertinent reply would be that
messy stone is never highly polished
and that stone is not proper place
Tor moss, anyway. The other undermin-
ing canton is that one ought to see
ones own new country before one sees
the wealth of the old countries. I'm
less on business bent, there is no
earthly reason why one who can af-
ford to travel should not begin at
once with the richest and most beau
tiful countries, with Italy and Greece.
Life Is short and uncertain; one can
not tell what may happen to deprive
one of sight and health and means day
after tomorrow, therefore it is well to
see and enjoy the best while one can.

SAVED BY QUICK WIT.
Clever Ruse of a French Peasant Call.
cd For Conscription.

Two young men Of certain French
village were called on to draw for a
conscription. One only was wanted to
complete the number, and of the two
who were to draw one was the son of
a rich farmer and the other the only
child Of poor widow.
The farmer made friends with the
official in charge of the ballot and
promised him a handsome present If
he would only prevent his son from
going into the army. In order to do
this the official put into the urn two
black balls instead Of one black and
one white. When the young men came
he said:
There are two balls, one black and
one white, In the urn. He who draws
the black one must serve. Your turn
is first" pointing to the widows son.
The latter, suspecting that all was
not fair, drew one Of the balls from
the urn and Immediately swallowed 1t
without even looking at it.
"Why have you done that?" asked
the official. How are we to know
whether you have drawn a black or
white ballT'
ooh, that's very simple" was the re-
ply. "Let the other man now draw.
II have the black he must necessari-
ly draw the white one"
There was no help for it, and the
farmers son. putting his hand into the
urn, drew the remaining ball, which,
to the satisfaction Of the spectators,
was a black one.

THE "HEATHEN CHINEE."
And the Cards Bret Harte Wrote Into
His Flowing Sleeves.


Every one who knows American
poetry is familiar with Bret Harte's
"Heathen Chinee," written in the ear
~ seventies at the time when the feel
ing on the Pacific coast ran high
against the mild eyed Celestial and
voicing that feeling by portraying the
hero, if such a term may be applied to
All Sin, as crafty card cheating
villain who outwits the sharps of the
California mining camps
1t is not generally known, however,
that the poem is unique in that 1t
contains an error which the author
failed to detect when reading the gal
ley proofs ana which survived and
still survives all attempts at correc-
ton. Perhaps it is the only instance
in literature where a grossly patent
error in the copy reading of an after
ward famous article, whether prose
or poem, has. persisted through nu-
merous editions despite all efforts of
author and editor to kill it.
The poem was written while Bret
Harte was employed on San Fran
cisco daily and, to him, was merely
part of the days work. 1t tells of a
Chinee, All Sin. who. with a smile
that was childlike and bland" sat in a
game OF euchre with Truthful James
and Bill Nye.
AT crucial point Of the game the
artless Chinese plays the winning
card, (which" says Truthful James,
the narrator of the catastrophe, ''the
same Nye had dealt unto mer' Where
upon Truthful and Nye proceed to
Ego for that heather Chinee." The
| damaging evidence disclosed by their
rough and searching investigation is
told as follows in the poem as it was
printed-and has been printed ever
since the initial publication:
In his sleeves, which were long, there were
| twenty-four packs.
| Which is coming it strong, yet state but
the facts.
| In this form the busy Bret Harte
let the proofs go down to the printer
and 1t was not until some time later
that he recalled having overlooked an
error in it. He hurried down to the
press, but already several hundred
copies had been struck off and were
being distributed about the city to the
morning subscribers. Bret Harte, at
| taching no Importance to the fugitive
verses, which had merely oozed from
his pen the afternoon previous, made
no effort at correction then. When
however, the eastern press enthusiasts
tically copied it and publishers and IL
Illustrators rang all manner of comic
changes in it he tried to substitute the
correct phrase, but without avail, and
"The Heather Chinee" has persisted
In its original form through number
less editions ever since.
What Bret Harte wrote was:
In his sleeves, which were long. he had
twenty-four jacks.
Now, in the game of euchre, as all
card players know the jacks are OF
great value, and the stuffing of mum
berless jacks up his flowing sleeves
as the poet intended to sing, showed
great astuteness on the part of AL
Sin. The uncorrected error of the com
positor who set up packs instead OF
Jacks" still left enough of sense tc
pass muster when embodied between
the contexts.
The poet, after years of fruitless en-
deavor, finally gave up all hope and
resigned himself to the butchered read
ing.-New York Times.

Fantastic Story of Sixteenth Century
Tragedy.
John of Nuremberg relates how a
man, lost at night in strange coun-
try, directed his steps toward a fire
that he saw before lin. On reaching

warmth and was informed by him
that he was really as human as him
self, but that he was compelled for a
certain number of years, like all his
cOuntrymen, to assume the shape of a
wolf.
A strange country, indeed, where
wolves when the evenings grow chill

rudy glow are found ready to en-
terrain the passing traveller with their
conversation
CLAUS Magnus in the early part of
the sixteenth century tells us story
of a nobleman and his retinue who lost
their way in journeying through a
wild forest and presently found them
selves hopelessly foodless and shelter
less. In the urgency of their need one
of the servants disclosed to him in
confidence that he had the power of
turning himself at will into a wolf
and doubted not but that, if his mas
ter would kindly excuse him for
while, he would be able to find the
party some provision. Permission be-
ing given, the man disappeared into
the forest under semblance of a wolf
and very quickly returned with a lamb
in his mouth and then, having fulfilled
his mission, resumed his human form.
In Auvergne in 1888 a nobleman in
returning from the chase was stop
ped by stranger, who told him that
he had been furiously attacked by
savage wolf, but had been fortunate
enough to save himself by slashing Off
one Of his fore paws. This he pro
duced as a trophy, when. to the as
constituent of both, it was found to
have become the delicate hand of
lady. The nobleman felt so sure that
he recognized a ring upon it that he
hurried to the castle and there found
his wife sitting with her arm tied up,
and on removing the wrappers the
hand was missing She had to stand
her trial as loup-garou and, being
convicted persisted at the stake
