mans mention Of the incident:
I'VE have some doubts as to Miss
Freeman's sincerity when It comes
to equal rights. At Barnum &
Bailey's circun she took advantage OF
our innate gallsntry and asked us
to exchange tickets for reserved seats
with her and two Mansfield suffraget
tes. As we once took q solemn oath
never to turn down proposal from
woman we accepted and found our
selves in seats in the last row, about
fifteen feet in the air and with moth
ing to brace US but the thought that
we had pleased our suffragette

Aad On Which Excess Load

Quite an interest has been shown
by the people in visiting the Reeves

engine which has been operating the
plant since Monday morning and
those who go are finding that all their
previous notions OF engines have to
be changed as this little engine al
most small enough to be carried by
a couple of men seems so determined
to do its work that no load, however
much in excess of its rated capacity,
seems to have the slightest effect up.
on the engine.
Considerable trouble has been ex.
perienced with the boiler which is Of
the gas field type and calculated to
fire with pressure of from 100 to $50
pounds, while the available pressure
varies from 8 to 20 pounds, and as a
result It Is necessary to watch the gas
conditions very carefully. The gas
company this morning started to
clean the regulator which II Is
thought will bring better conditions
and escape farther annoyance. At
no time can II be expected that the
boiler plant can be made satisfactory

CHINESE IDEA OF LOVE
Chinese Annually

Perhaps there 10 no greater differ
ence existing between the Chinese and
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 sf-
fairs through hard reasoning and not
through the tender passion.
To us marriage Is q serious business
of the head, and not q light affair Of
the heart In these matrimonial trans
actions we apply the most rigid. keen,
calculating business principles, and
that's why we are SO successful In
the marriage enterprise, as we have
never been bunkoned 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 love
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
