fall overheard, and often their indis-
criminate voracity will swallow things
1ndigestible. A lady's workbox was
found in the stomach Of one, and the
papers of slave ship in that of an
other. Human beings are frequently
its prey, a fact which makes bathing
or diving In tropical seas a dangerous
pursuit.
This variety of shark is capable not
only of biting off the leg of a man,
but Of swapping the body in two, and
has been known to swallow a man
entire. It's head is large, the mouth
large and wide; furnished with ter
rible teeth, which are triangular in
form, somethim r. two finches in
breadth, sharp-edged and serated.
When not use they are laid back in
the mouth, nearly fiat, but when used
in biting, they are brought up by
means of muscles with which each
tooth is independently provided.
This shark is often captured by
seamen by means Of a great hook
baited with a piece Of meat and at
tached to a chain, as the sharks
teeth readily bite through any rope.
When the shark is hooked and hauled
on board, great care is necessary to
avoid danger both from the mouth
and from the wonderfully powerful

been under civilized rule, but in re
cent times no more interesting char
acter has appeared than Tsi An, who
has been called "Bismarck in pet
ticoats." For many years before Isl
An died in 1908, she was virtual ruler
of China.
Pu-Yi would not be emperor OF
China if he had not been chosen by
Isl An. This woman is an example
of the possibilities in the political
system in that land. When Hen Feng
assembled the throne in 1851 Isl An
was one Of his concubines of the fifth
class. The real empress had no son,
and when Isl An gave birth to a son
in 1856 she was raised to the rank
of empress. Hen Feng died in 1861.
Isl An practically ruled until her
death, although there had been NOM
inal emperors-Tung Chi and KwaEg
Su. The last named died almost at
the same time as Isl An. He was
childless and Isl An Is said to have
chosen his infant nephew, Pu-Yi, as
his successor. Prince Chun, father of
the baby, was appointed regent.
Prince Chun is Twenty-Five years old,
and has exercised much influence at
court since he was sent on a mission
to Germany in 1901.
When Pu-Yi was proclaimed en-
peror he was declared the adopted
son Of the emperor, Tung Chi, in or
der to maintain an imperial tradition
that had been violated by Isl An
when the late emperor came to the
throne.

WOMAN RUNS A BANK
Sister of Jane Adams Heads
Kansas Institution.
Located in Girard Twenty Years Ago
and on the Death Of Her Hus-
band Became the Banks 0
-. President

Glrard, Kan.-The morning sunlight
uttered through the little window in
the back office of the State Bank of
Glrard, and the bars across the window
cast a network of shadows on the
foor. The woman who sat in the
heavy office chair behind the desk
was fifty-eight years old, but her face
showed scarcely wrinkle, and the
white in her hair glinted now and
then by way of proof that it once
was gold. The woman was Mrs. S.
Alice Haldeman, and she is the banks
president. Mrs. Haldeman has anoth-
er claim to distinction, for she is the
sister of Miss Jane Adams of Hull
House, Chicago.
'Well, yes, I'm the president" she
admitted to visitor, "only I don't run
the bank myself; we all run it to-
gether-the two men and l."
1t was 20 years ago that DR.. and
Mrs. Haldeman came to Girard. The
physicians health was poor, and the
move was made on this account from
the home of their childhood in Illinois.
my husband became interested in
the banking business shortly after we
came here" Mrs. Haldeman said, "and
he founded a bank of his own. We
are the oldest bank in the county and
have weathered three panics.
"Dr. Haldeman died five years ago."
she added, "and-and with the last
words he ever spoke he asked me not to
leave the bank. So took charge, and
I'm very glad that I did, for I love
the work. But, pshaw, it's not inter-
esting to tell you about myself-you

Although her name seldom is writ

deal of work at Hull House.
II usually spend about three months
Of every year there" she said, "just

do find life here in Girard to-
dious? No things move fast enough
for me, with my club work and bank
and letters and reading"
The walls of Mrs. Trademarks house
are lined with shelves and on these
are crowded hundreds of books. Above
the shelves are pictures, drawings
and paintings; of these last there is a
life.size oil painting of her sister,
Jane. Marble busts are set on ped
estals and the grand piano is Uttered
with books of classical music.
On the center table there was a
book of photographs and Mrs. Halde-
man leafed through 1t slowly while
she talked. They were old pictures of
the old days, most of them showing
scenes of the Adams home at Cedar
Vile, Ill.
At one of the pictures Mrs. Halde-
man paused.
That's the old mill at home" she
said, and added after a moment,
"'Jane and used to play hide-and-go-
seek in that musty old place. Jane
was the greatest little bunch of en-
thusiasm you ever saw, and she al
ways was asking people TO forgive her
for the naughty things she fancied she
had done''
And as she turned the pages of the
+ book and saw once more the faces and
scenes Of the past her eyes bscasns
moist.

.CH|NA'S BABY RULER
Is NominaIIy Emperor of 4O0,-
100000 People.
ToddIing Boy Who Knows Nothing
of Wars Terrors or of the Pres
ent Turmoil Throughout
His Empire.

Peking.-Little Pu-Yi is an innocent
bit of boy who knows no more Of
the terrors of war than of the mys-
teries OF chop suey in an American
restaurant. II he lives until Feb
ruary s, 1912, he will be six years of
age. During the last three years Pu-
vi nominally has been ruler of moro
than 400,000,00O people and of lands
that occupy a greater part OF the
earth than is covered by the United
States.
Princes who hold high places in
China are required to attain a high
degree of proficiency, and Pu-Yi no
doubt has been impressed with the
cares of state. You may be certain
that he cares less for crown and scep-
ter than for such choice morsels or
endearing caresses as may be per-
mltted to one in his exalted station.
Pu-Yi may be tyrant in the eyes
OF his nurse when it is time for him
to be tucked away in his imperial bed

flattered and adored, and he fondly
dreams each wind and star friend.
His path may be made easy for
time, but if he lives to bear the bur-
dens of state there is danger that he
may sink beneath a load of care.
There is so much that is extraor-
binary in the history Of China that it
would require volumes to tell it. To
western people much seems strange
and paradoxical. The emperor is the
"Son of Heaven" and rules by "di-
vine authority" but arbitrary power
is tempered in many ways. II he
rules corruptly or unjustly heaven
will send disasters and calamity on
the people and then rebellion will be
justified. Histories tell how dynasties

of years that this wonderful land has

ARE FOND OF OLD CUSTOMS
English People Ruled by Tradition, as
10 Shown In the Language Of
Parliament.

England has always had an affec-
don for customs. SO persistent is It
in keeping to the forms and traditions
Of the past that 1t has been dubbed
museum of antiquities" among
modern nations.
II Is somewhat odd that the Norman
French OF Edward the Confessor
should still be the language, the legal
voice Of parliament, but 80 1t Is, In
way. Whenever a bill has passed the
commons the clerk, before he for
wards It to the house Of lords, writes
upon it, according to the ancient
usage: "Soit baille aux seigneurs"
Let It be sent TO the lords. II 1t is
sent from the peers to the commons
1t bears the like Endorsement: "Soit
baille aux communes" Oet it be sent
to the commons).
Should bill pass both houses 1t
needs only the royal assent to become
a law. Here the Norman-French ap-
pears again. The commons, summoned
by the usher of the black rod, are ad
mitted to the bar Of the house Of
lords to hear the statement OF his
majesty's commissioners. When all
are assembled the lord chancellor
makes a sign to his assistant, who
reads the title Of the bill and then
says in loud voice: lie roi lie veult!"
(The king wills it). In the case Of
financial bills the form Is this: lie
roi remercie SEES bons sujets, accepte
leur benevolence, ct ainsi lie veult. :"
(The king thanks his good subjects,
accepts their faith and so Wills IT,
For private bills the form is: Soft
fait CONNIE II est DESIRE" Uet 1t be
done as il desired.) Sometimes, II the
bill Is Of special Importance. the sane
ton Of his majesty Is given In person
In such a case the king. seated on the
throne at the end OF the chamber
bows his assent as the clerk reads
the title.

The Exceptional Young Man.

The exceptional young man. says
Orison SWEET Marden in an article in
Success magazine, Is the one who
looks upon his employers interests as
he would his own, who regards his
vocation as an opportunity to make a
man of himself, an opportunity to
show his employer the stuff he Is
made of, and who is always preparing
himself to AL the position above him.
The exceptional young man is the
one who never says: IT was not paid
to do that" 81 don't get salary
enough to work after hours or to take
so much pains" He never leaves
things half done, but does everything
to finish.
The exceptional young man is the
one who studies his employers bust
ness, who reads its literature, who Is
on the watch for every improvement
which others in the same line have
adopted and which his employer has
not, who is always improving him
self during his spare time for larger
things.
