NOT A RETIRING PEOPLE
Chinese Eat, Wash, Sleep and Ara
Shaved In Publio--Story TeIlers
Are Popular.

The Chinese cannot be called re-
firing people. AS they eat, wash and
sleep in public, so in Canton you will
see the barber shaving his customers
in the streets, the dentist (wearing
a necklace of fangs) extracting pain
full tooth in the presence Of an admir-
ing crowd. Here, as in all large Chi
nese cities, wherever there Is favor
able spot, story-tellers may be found
amusing the people by way of making
living. At the close of recital the
large and attentive audience are In
vited to throw down their cash" az
the feet Of the story-teller, in ap-
probation of the entertainment to
(which they have listened. The appeal
is seldom made in vain. The strange
conglomeration of ideas that finds a
home in the brain Of the average Chi
nese, and the medley of beings that
people his unseen world make 1t Pc
culiarly easy for the story-teller to win
the credulity Of his audiences. And
as ninety Celestials out OF every hun
dred are even yet In complete igno-
rance Of the laws that govern the
world in which they live, there is no
difficulty In inducing the masses to
give credence to any story, however
grotesque. The faith Of the people in
the transmigration Of souls lends IT.
self to all kinds of metempsychosis.
Foxes Of vindictive intention are made
to appear as sirens in order to work
evil on objects of their hatred. Princes
seeks the elixir Of immortality under
the most thrilling circumstances. Just
as they are about at last to lay their
hands on the long-sought and much
coveted treasure. It, Of course, eludes
their grasp.

Why They Did Not Comply.

Why They Did NOT Comply.
Sunday, January %, always will be
remembered in New York family, be.
cause of an incident which happened
in Charleston, s. G., in 1856. On that
date baby girl was born there. On
the day Of her birth the mayor Of
Charleston issued a proclamation or
dering all noncombatants out of the
city, SO that they might be in no dan
ger from the Yankee troops under
Sherman, who was threatening to de-
stroy the city. A copy Of the mayors
order hangs framed in her home On
the margin Of the paper is written in
the hand of the woman's mother:
Martha and ! were noncombatants,
but we remained"

is worse than the original offense,
She was insulted officially be-
cause her social status had been
misunderstood. They had mis-
taken her for household servant
A woman of that status must not
be escorted to an American naval

mate, a cousin, or the sweetheart

Del Rio, explaining the support given
to Madero's candidacy for the presi-

Madero was endorsed at the recent
convention of the party. Because OF
Madero's Masonic affiliations, the ac-
ton Of the convention has caused con-
siderable criticism. This brought forth
the declaration of the archbishop.

CHANGED HER MIND.

Strategic Game In Domestic Economy
the Husband Played.
Strategy can sometimes be made as
effective In domestic economy as in
the operations of war. BY way of IL
lustration consider an instance that
recently arose In a certain city.
An ambitious young housewife there
had an opportunity to buy at great
bargain a handsome rug which she
needed. The price was only 5000. but
the owner declared that the rug was
actually worth $500. The young wo-
mans husband gently protested that
even 5000 was more than persons Of
their income could afford for single
article Of household furnishing. but
after much persuasion he consented to
the purchase, as most husbands do in
such cases.
But this particular husband played a
strategic game When he gave his
wife the money to pay for the rug 1t
was not In currency notes of large de-
nomination, but in the form of 200
round. sound silver dollars. The
young woman WIS astounded. Until
the money WAS counted down dollar
by dollar she never had realized that
1t would take so many to pay for that
rug. She decided to buy sixty five
dollar rug, but declared that II the
money had been given to her In two
notes of 500 each she would have
bought the costlier one without hesita-
tion.-New York Mail.

Jonas Lie, q Norwegian poet, was &C.

while sojourning In the neighborhood,
Ibsen turned up at his friends resi-
dence and asked to see Nine. Lie, add
ing that they need not disturb the
poet. When madame appeared Ibsen
apologlzed. 1t was only a trifie-a but
ton had come off. He had purchased
a needle and thread Nine. Lie. wo-
manlike, offered to sew on the button,
but the poet would not hear of 1t. All
he asked was that she would aid him
by threading the needle. He had found
1t most difficult. The lady. of course,
complied, and Ibsen went on bis way
rejoicing.
Nine. Lie did not meet Ibsen again
until some days after the needle diff
Guilty was surmounted. This time he
called to see the poet. There was no
demand for an interview with the
poets wife. In the course Of CONVEX
