HAVE COLD IDEAS OF LOVE
With Chinese, Marriage Is Business
of the Head, Not an Affair
OF the Heart.

/ Perhaps there is no greater differ
ence existing between the Chinese apd
the American people than that be-
tween their ideas of love. In fact, we
Chinese do not believe in love, for we
are not sickly sentimental creatures,
but cold philosophical, fatalistic be-
ings. We arrange our matrimonial
affairs through hard reasoning and not
through the tender passion.
To US marriage is a serious bust
ness of the head, and not light at
fair of the heart. In these matri-
monial transactions we apply the
most rigid, keen, calculating business
principles, and that is why we are so
successful in the marriage enterprise,
as we have never been buncoed by
! Cupid at the game of love.
| We never pay homage at the altar
of this stupid, brainless. yellow kid,
| the disturber of peace, the breaker of
/ hearts, the destroyer of homes and the
promoter of affinity stock companies.
We cannot tolerate his presence in
China, as China is not a land of low
ers. Consequently the cool, quiet hours
of our midsummer nights are not dis
turbed or spoiled by hot air from the
wooing and cooling OF sentimental
q creatures.

ENNIS Is MISTAKEN.

Our good friends, the city coun-
Gil of our esteemed sister city of
Ennis, has evidently been grossly
misadyised as to some matters per-
tanning to the county government.
In charging through resolutions
published in the Ennis newspapers
that the commissioners court of
Ellis county is discriminating I'M.
justly and unfairly against our city
in that it eXacts of US the pay
ment of one-half of the cost or
culvert' the gentlemen composing
the council of our interesting
neighbor show a lack of informa-
ton that was hardly to be expect
highly respected source. The fact
of the matter is that Ennis streets,
in SO far as the work done by the
county road builders is concerned,
have been favored by the COM
missioners over the streets or
Waxahachie or any other town in
the county through which this road
building work has been carried,
and as to this complained of sub
ject, culverts, the taxpaying citi-
zenship of Ennis has been requir-
ed to do nothing more than was
demanded of the taxpayers in
Waxahachie or Italy. The fact
should always be borne in mind
that the county, in expend-
ing the money raised in the sever
al precincts for the purpose of
building pike roads, is carrying.
just as it ought, the road building, /
and not a street building cam

towns in the path of these impro-I
Doubtless this particular
culyert proposed for the Ennis
street was just the same in size
and quality as would have been
at a like place on any
part of the road being piked, and
t was only just that that city
should pay the epst of additional
width required to meet the de-
hands of a street culvert WaXa-
