The land is full of new ideas and new
experiments in life. Certainly the
Chinese are not raw people; no peo-
pie less So Their central government
has been weak, but China is full of
local self-government. On that large
ly it's civilization has rested, and that
is an admirable basis for republican
institutions.
1t is very hard for those of us who
do not know the Chinese and their
country to think of them as doing
anything like other people. We can
imagine a republic easier in almost
any other civilized country than China.
But we must not forget that these are
civilized people, who have bred and
reared men as able, as thoughtful, as
thoroughly educated, and fully grown
up as men are anywhere. Their best
leaders know the world and what is
going on in it. and how all it's coun-
tries are governed. They know their
old order must change. and soon. Is
it remarkable that some of them
should aim to make it follow in its
changes the best pattern of govern
ment that this modern world seems to
offer?
1t is wonderful to see China bestir
herself: China. the great, crystaiized
nation to which a thousand years are
like last week, Everybody is inter-
ested. or will be: and everybody will
wish her we'll in her necessary steps
of progress. so long delayed. so indis-
pensable, and now, when she seems
to be taking them. so startling.-Har-
pers Weekly.

THE PRESIDENT AND THANKS
GIVING DAY.

From the Birmingham Age-Herald.
There seems to be confusion in the
minds of many persons as to the date
of Thanksgiving Day." a citizen said.
According to custom it will be the
30th-the fifth Thursday. AS there Is
no national law touching Thanksgiving
the matter is optional with the pres
dent. He fixes the day by proclama-
ton and the states that ave-recogniz-
ed Thanksgiving by legislation follow
the presidents proclamation. 1t Is a
legal holiday in Alabama. AS Thanks
giving has usually been on the fourth
Thursday President Taft was asked
some weeks ago If he would proclaim
November % the day to be observed
He replied that he would follow custom
and name the last Thursday of No
vember-November 30.
People often speak of national hOli-
days, but there are no general holt

CHINA.

The going seems to have struck
China. We turn from what the news
papers say with sentiments of incre-
dulity And, to be sure. much of what
they say may be unsaid tomorrow. 1t
is too soon to be sure of anything yet.
And yet the happenings over there
seem momentous. whether they yield
immediate permanent results or not.
A Chinese republic seems preposterous,
but what would they have? There is
a new spirit. The old cocoon is surely
going to burst; If not now, presently.

A Bold Umpire.

Manager Win Clark of the Norfolk
team tells the latest umpire story. It
Is on J.. Ira Davis, better known as
Stats. Davis has been an umpire for
ten years in various minor leagues.
He has been noted for his eccentrici-
ties.
Davis was umpiring a game for us
at the latter part of the season." says
Clark. HE didn't stand any too well
with the fans and didn't seem to care.
He began umpiring behind the bat and
then worked behind the pitcher. The
crowd kicked on a second base de-
cision, and he took his stand behind
second base. Finally there was a dis
pute about a foul ball hit down the
right field line, and Davis took his po-
sition in right field. Then the bleach
critics went at him. why don't you
stand where you can judge the balls
and strikes, you stiff" yelled one.
Well said Davis, you guys can um-
pire a game from the right field seats
and lever make a mistake. Why can't
I umpire as well in right field?"

Ready For a SpIurqe.

A girl who inherited a snug little
fortune of $4,000 had been rather
cramped financially all her life, and
she had always longed for the luxuries
and frivolities of existence. Her uncle
came to talk the matter over and adj
wise her as to the investment Of her
little fortune.
"Now, my DEAR" said he in the tone
Of a genial but prudent counselor,
"of course you have made some plans
have some idea of how this is to be
invested? What yearly income do you
expect from your S12,000?"
Then the young woman replied, Il

so that | shall have a yearly income OF

tor All About 1t.
In II of the late o. Henry's stories,
entitled "Calloway's Code" the author
tells how the war correspondent of a
New York paper away in Japan had
Sent a mysterious message in code
Which no one could understand. The
managing editor was at his wits end
until some one thought of appealing to
Heffelbauer, who had been on the pa
per since "Park row was a potato
patch" SO Heffelbauer was called into
consultation.
Heffelbauer was an institution. He
was half j%anitor, half a handy man
about the office and half watchman-
thus becoming the peer of thirteen and
one-half tailors. Sent for, he came,
~radiating his nationality.

1t is very important that the young lambs be started right early in life in order that they may develop rapidly and continuously al a minimum cost writes an Illinois shepherd in Farm and Preside. After the lambs are dropped it is a good plan 10 keep them and the.r dams separate from the rest of the flock until they gain the neces- sgry strength to go with the rest of the flock.
 The ewes should be fed plenty of roots or other succuIent feed and liberal rution which contains sufficient ,;sotein to promote a large flow of milk.
 When the lambs have reached anfage Of ten days or two weeks small pen should be arranged in one corner of the sheep barn or yard and lamb creep provided. 0y which the lambs csnggain access 10 this pen at all times. while their dams are excluded Some bran should be put into n trough there at first, and in q surprisingly short time the lanlbs will find their way to 1t and eat considerable amount After they have become accustomed to this
