THE CHINESE NOSES.

One day the cabled news from
China was that Yuan Shi Kai would
go back into the services Of the Man.
h dynasty n the next day the
story was that he had declined 10
take over the vice-royalty Of the HUI
Peh and Hunan provinces unless GER
tain effective reforms demanded by
the leaders of the insurgents were
guaranteed by the government. 1t is
true h a Shanghai as a source of
Chinese news. is not of high reput
but aside from this circumstance the
report Is entirely credible.
Yuan Shi Kai's talents are military
as we'll as civil. He organized and
drilled the first military force which
was of good enough quality to extort
approval from foreign military men.
The solidity Of his work in this re-
spect had a great deal to do with his
abrupt dismissal from public life.
The Manchu government were not
only. jealous of him, but afraid of
him. They thought it dangerous for
their own authority to have a native
Chinaman in the conspicuous and
powerful position to which he had
attained. and particularly so with a
little army OF his own creation in
hand. Their appeal to him now to
accept the charge of the two prov
1nces in which the Instruction has
made the greatest Roadway is Of it,
self good proof Of their own weak
ness n of their confidence in his
military ability. 1t is also an uncom-
mon piece Of evidence as to his own
character, given by those who have
no liking for him. The government
assumption that he would serve then,
we'll If he served them at all, after
their W rude dismissal of him. is
a clear sign that he is a trustworthy
man, and that even his former enc
mics could place confidence in him if
he undertook to serve them.
1t appears to be true that in the
central part Of China the authority of
the existing government is crumbling
10 a complete breakdown. In all
such movements it is military
strength that decides. The Manchu
government would hew all the insIr-
gents 10 the ground If they could, and

produced bald patches on the august head

dainty blonde with a wealth OF sunny hair
and musical southern voice.

fragette, but just a plain, home loving
young woman. She can appear as demure
as a sweet girl graduate and the next mo-
ment look a man through and through and
and give orders like an old stager in the
enforcement of the law.
II was this characteristic that induced
Sheriff Brooks OF Calhoun county TO ap-

was that there is always about a carload
