Five Hundred lnfantrymen to Guard American Interests.
 A battalion of infantry, consisting of 800 men, will be sent by the United States to China to help keep open the railway communication between Pc king and the sea, This force is all that is required, in the opinion of Minister Calhoun, after consultation with the other diplomatic officers in Peking.
 Recent cable dispatches have shown that at present there are 3,200 men of different nationalities guarding the railroad from Picking to Shanhaikwan. but among them are no American troops. The British troops are for the moment guarding the section of the line from TanGshan to Lanchow, which was assigned to American protection. The number of foreign troops permit ted to be stationed in China for the protection of the legations and consu- lates of the foreign powers was settled by protocol in 1901, when provision was also made for foreign guards to be stationed along the railroads and at certain points

The Old Mans Plea.

He got eight years in Sing Sing, but nevertheless the plea for mercy of Jo- seph Amos Washington Bruen was one of the finest prose poems ever uttered in the general sessions of New York.
 The old man addressed the court as follows:
 "'Deed, yo' honah, can't say much. Nah record am sure against me. hab served moh time than sixteen years in prison for de same offense. All have to remark (an' I hope yo' honah will not be too stern) is dat l just simply can't keep away from a hencoop nohow when heah dem pull lets callin'."
 Rudyard Kipling expressed the very same idea when he wrote those two familiar lines;
 For the wind is Tn the palm trees, an the
 temple bells they say: Come you back, you British soldier; come
 you back to Mandalay!'

Can't Beat the Head Waiter.

"You can't get ahead of a head wait er," said man who spends a great deal of time at one of the New York hotels. "Of course the tips at a hotel like this mount up. and, as there are several restaurants, if you give $15 or $2O to the head waiter of each one of them it is too much. I sweetened one head waiter, but neglected to give the autocrat of another restaurant any thing Soon I found that it was very difficult for me to get table in that restaurant. The head waiter would always. be looking another way. or a table that fancied had been en- gagged. got even by giving my wait CTS. extra big tips, and it soon got So that when l entered the restaurant half a dozen upraised fingers would beckon me. But soon the head waiter was on to my game, and 1t got so that almost every table offered me was claimed by the head waiter on the ground that it was reserved."-New York Sun.

PuIlman's Little Joke,

s. s. .Beman, the architect, had the most to do with the building of the town of Pullman, although acting on certain suggestions from the founder of the colony. When plans had been completed and the perfunctory work of execution was under way the archi- tect said to the car company chief:
 "Now that we are we'll started, Mir. Pullman, I want to ask you if you have given any thought to naming the town"
 "A great deal," said MT. Pullman. "I think it is only fair that you should have recognition, and I have decided upon composite name that will i'm mortallze you and myself at the same time. We will do this by taking the first syllable of my name and the last syllable of Ours."-ChicagO Post.

DEMOCRATS TO WAIT
 ON THE REPUBLICANS
Matter of Candidate Open Until After Opponents Convention.

Democratic leaders who are at Wash lngton for the meeting of the national committee of the party declare that 1t will be some weeks before there will be specialization of sentiment as to who shall be named as the Democratic presidential candidate. It Is pointed out that the Democrats this year in naming a standard bearer will be guid- ed in large measure by the results of the Republican convention to be held ip Chicago in June. There is good deal of talk about Clark. Underwood, Wilson and Harmon, but so far as the committeeman are concerned none of those mentioned seems to command the support of anything like majority of the leaders.
 The opinion seems to prevail that the fight will be an open one until after the Republican national convention has picked its candidates. Then, and not until then, so leaders at Washington declare, will Democracy be in posi- tiOn to take stock of the situation. A prominent leader of the party made statement of his views. which. he said. was quite generally shared by Demo crats now in Washington. He said:
 Tt is my opinion that no one is now in position to predict with any de gree of accuracy who will be named as the Democratic presidential candidate. We will have to watch and wait for the action of our Republican brethren. As things now stand our choice will be governed to some extent by the out come of the Republican convention. If MT. Taft is nominated we will have to pick progressive. On the other hand. if Colonel Roosevelt is named we will have to present a contrast In the per son of conservative"

Makind a Will.

Always call in a lawyer to make will. If one cannot be procured then write your wishes in the simplest words you can. Never try to use what you may consider legal terms" Few persons realize how difficult it is to make a will. A classic example is the celebrated Lord St. Leoaards, at one time lord chancellor of England. He was the foremost conveyancer of his day. and yet when he died an informal will was found in his coat pocket, hur riedly written when he was at the point of death. This will occupied the courts for years and served 'to point a moral and adorn a tale" ."-Eondon Mail.

An Example of Stern Rravado.

For stern bravado, says the United Service Magazine, it would be hard to rival the feat of Ensign Gillis, who saw a stray torpedo coming slowly, but surely, toward the anchored tor pedo boat Porter in the Spanish American war. He sprang overboaEd. turned the nose of the torpedo in safer direction and screwed up the fir ing pin tightly so that it would not operate. Then, treading water, he saluted Lieutenant Fremont and re- ported, ''Sir, have to report I have captured a torpedo" Bring it on board, sir," commanded Fremont. and Gillis actually did so. swimming with 1t to the ship and fastening tackle to it.

Rrownina and a Cahman.

The gondoliers of Venice are sup posed to know their Tasso and Ariosto. The following little incident leads to the supposition that Browning's Ride to Ghent" may possibly be found in the poetic repertory of the London cabman: A neighbor one day saw Mir. Browning alight from a hanson. The cabby looked at the fare in his oper palm with an air of dissatisfaction and, wheeling round, delivered himself of this parting shot: You may be q good poet, but you're a bad pay master" Mrs. Andrew Crosse in "Red Letter Days of My Life"

AS many hostesses have the little
solid silver tags into which the name
