An account of the manner in which the
Manchus were massacred at Hankow, Chi
ma, greatly impressed me. To make sure
of the identity of their victims the Chinese
rebels hit upon the difference in the Chinese
and Manchu pronunciation and compelled
the victim to count, and when he pro-
nounced the numeral in the Manchu man
ner death descended upon him. Thus was
the word "Liushiliu," the Chinese for
"six," made to serve as judge and execu-
toner.

ROM time immemora who has been to school has been

Education has been supposed to begin when school life
began and to end with school college graduation After that

South today than 1t has In many
places in the North. In Washington,
the capital, New Years calling SEEM
ingly is a fixed habit Custom has
given it virtually the force of law,
and the Washington people do not
wish to be considered in any way
law-breakers.
The president of the United States
holds the earliest New Years Day re-
ception. It Is in the broadcast sense
a public reception, for every American
of whatever creed, color or station in
life is welcomed into the big White
House to greet the chief executive
and his wife, who by custom as fixed
as that of the holiday calling, Is
known as "the first lady in the land.
The wedding garment" is not neces-
sary for the visitor at the White
House on the first day. Of the year.
The callers come literally some in
rags and some in velvet gowns.
The president by force of the Gus
tom-law of precedence is obliged to
divide his reception into two parts,
one for officialdom and one for the
''laity." Precedence would not be
such a powerful thing in Washington
