marvellous skill the poet has told 1t.

Rejected Compulsory Happiness.

In 1899 the inundation of the Yellow
river caused great suffering in China.
The inferior people not only ''groaned
and murmured." but died by the hun
dreds. In order to raise funds for the
relief of the survivors the prefect of
Hangchow levied tax on each cup
Of tea sold In the tea houses Of the
great city. The ancient capital as
sessed In this arbitrary fashion re-
sented that tax after the manner Of the
Bostonians Of 1773. In spite of the
humane object of the assessment, the
citizens put boycott on tea. and the
proprietors Of the tea houses cried
out in protest
The prefect Issued second procla-
nation. In which he assured bis people
that happiness was their sure reward
If they cheerfully contributed to this
excellent cause. This agreeable as
surance had no effect on the boy
cotters, and the tax had to be removed.
Perhaps this Is the only Instance on
record where a cityful Of people were
banded to resist compulsory "happi-
ness."-Youth's Companion.

many carriages and automobiles and
the men and women in evening dress

the larger portion are everyday. people
who come to hear the music and en-
