kaleidoscope view of his past life He
saw himself an innocent, impulsive
school boy, the pride of a devoted
| mother, the happy home where he
| spent his childhood. Then came the
| association with bad companions, the
| first step in wrongdoing, stealing out
of a comrades pocket in school, the
death of his mother, leaving home
with downward progress until he grad
ually drifted into his present dishon-
est way of living. What was the good
of regrets? He could not recall his
mother to life. He could never rehab-
ilitate himself among decent men and
women. The world had suddenly be-
come too small for him. He must go,
and quickly.

screen, red glow from the open fire

raised the pistol to his temple and
fired.

of the screen, concealed from his OBJ

Yes, he recalled that perfectly well.
Then he and Underwood got drinking
and talking. and he had fallen asleep
He thought he had heard a womans
voice-a voice he knew. Perhaps that
was only a dream. He must have
been asleep some time. because the
lights were out and, seemingly, every
body had gone to bed He wondered

 'First-Be it resolved, That we are heartily in favor of the proposed bond issue. We feel that it is the honorable course for all who are interested in the welfare and progress of Greater Birming- ham to support this issue-it is our-duty to pay our debts and maintain the credit of our city. We live here and feel that if it should fail to carry the burden of scrip will fall heaviest upon those least able to bear it, the wage earners of this city.
 "Second-We issue this appeal to our brothers among the different crafts to work for this issue, to go to the polls and work in support of it and vote for it, as it means much to the working people of this city.

 Examiner Bell said yesterday that he hoped the case would be resumed at once as the fall term of the local courts would roll around pretty soon, and if the summer could be spent in hearing the evidence against the grocers it would be very much better than to extend the case into the winter period
 The examiner and the attorneys will hold sessions in various cities through out the country, gathering evidence pre- sented by the department of justice charg- ing the grocers' association with heinz a monopoly. The local situation is that several days will be required in getting all the evidence here before the exam iner when the case is resumed.

Coolie Smueglers

From the July Wide World Magazine.
 On the Pacific coast the invasion of the Chinese is responsible fer two forms of contraband trade not previously exist pg-opium-smuggling and the running over the border of excluded cooie labor. Both branches have yielded big revenues to the law-defying spirits who have suc- cessfully evaded detection
 In Canada, on the northern borders, and in Mexico. on the south, thousands of almond-eyed Celestials gaze longingly into the forbidden territory Eagerly they await the arrival of the freebooter who will conduct them into the Promised Land. Of the two trades referred to, the opium traffic has been more frequently detected and exposed through, seizures of the drug are often made without capturing the criminals. It is safe to say, however, that finds it's way into the United States without paying toll to the guardians of the deep-sea ports. .see'els r..
 The trade had it's inception in the eciin- ming minds of the leaders of the old San Francisco Chinatown. The wealthy "tongs," or secret societies, there, fail ing in their efforts to get any modifca- ton of the strict exclusion laws cast about for other means of breaking down the barriers. The aid of white men as guides and commanders of the expedi- tions was necessary, and the renumera- tion offered large enough to attract yen- turesome and scrupulous spirits.
 The "head-rate." or capitation fee. was fixed at s150 for every live Chinaman brought over the borders without detec- ton, S75 of the money being paid down by the Mexican agents of the tongs when the parties started. 'f

Men and Manners

H. B. Marriott Watson, in Harper's
 Weekly.
 From the habits of Victorian days to our own is far cry. English manners, which is to say the whole system of social con- duct, have undergone development. Our grandfathers and grandmothers would not know us; I am also inclined to think they would not own us. Prim and mum sat the daughters of the house in those far off days with embroideries and samplers. They spoke only when they were required to answer. They played the piano, alas, compulsorily; and they wept copiously on sentimental occasions. It is true that a recent book written by an old lady who was a famous figure m those days rather gave one to think about the early Victorians. and to revise ones opinion, so lurid a light did she shed upon some of their actions. Was the early Vic- torian, then, nothing but a whited hum bug? Anyway, she was just as human as her grs nddaughter, and she had man. ners over her morals as fine as her silk gowns. remember the time myself when it was considered improper for a woman to ride in a hansom-cab, and in earlier days, if she went anywhere unaccompa- nied it was an offense. Nowadays she can attend matinees by herself and lunch and dine with men in no wise related to her. without anyone caring two pins about it.
 The etiquette of the sexes is certainly looser In America. and there Is large and liberal freedom which is all to the advantage of woman. Once upon a time in England no young girl would have dared to accept as much as a packet of chocolates or posy from a young man. Now he may send her a confec- tioner's or a florists shop, his motor car and his box at the opera. So much have we taken from America. Neverthe- less, as I have pointed out, the privileges of liberty carry their risks. The increased liberty of the one sex reacts upon the other, and helps to make breaches in the ramparts.
