1T was bitterly cold and We had
nothing on but our pa1amas. so you
may imagine how glad we were when
after stumbling along the bank for
four or Ave miles we saw the lights OF
the guard boat. That Chink offlcer
was a trump. He looked at US and
laughed, shook his finger at us and
made a speech, but finding we did not
understand him he stopped talking.

AT daylight he sent out party to
look for our boat. The thieves had
carried away everything portable. But
they had not molested the crew, 80

There Is no doubt that the whole

will murder a hundred babies to get
80 cents. It's all a question OF ex-
pediency.
Now. In the taking Of the native boat
Kun Shan. which happened about
year after I left the country, there
was considerable bloodshed. That
was because the officers and passen-
gers showed fight, when they ought
to have had sense enough to see that
they had no chance.
About fifty pirates got themselves
up as harmless coolies and paid their
passage to Hongkong. They dis
persed themselves among the other
deck passengers and conversed affably
about the weather and the state OF the
crops.
Forty miles down the river, just
where the stream begins to widen,
junk lying close in shore fired gun.
This was the signal for each peaceful
looking coolie to produce a short
sword from under his blouse. One
party dived into the engine room. An
other lot rushed up to the upper deck.
Those in the engine room made quick
work of the first and second engineers.
They then shut of steam, bringing
the boat to a standstill.
Those on the upper deck didn't
have an easy job The passengers
saw them coming and bolted to the
captains cabin. where the arms were
kept. There appears to have been
considerable OF fight, for there was
a good deal of firing, but six or seven
white men had no chance against for
ty or fifty pirates. Anyhow, all Of the
defenders except one young man were
killed.
When the fighting was over three
large junks came alongside and the
cargo was transferred. The boat was
emptied. Not thing OF any value
was left on board.
Did the Chinese passengers make
any resistance? Not such fools. They
were not armed, and II they had been
there was no one to lead them.
$50 you see. piracy isn't quite a
dead trade yet. II you doubt my word,
just go over to China and take a trip

thought ] would like to see what the
back parts Of the country were like.
I'VE started one morning early, my
friend, a young Englishman and my
self. We had with us as cook and
general help a crosseyed son of a
washerman named All Kun. He had
rascal written all over his face; but
they told me he was the best hand at
chicken curry In the country. I de-
termined to keep my eye on him. but
as matters turned out he kept his on
me and raised me one better.
Captain Was Excited.
I'VE sailed UP the river for three
days without getting very far away
from where we started. for the cur
rent runs six knots an hour. We went
on shore the fourth morning and shot
snipe in the rice fields, at least the
other two men did. At night we tied
the boat to tree. It's pleasant
way of travelling II ones not in a
hurry.
About FIVE o'clock the next day we
passed guard boat, the captain Of
which hailed us. We drew up along
side and he made speech He
seemed to be exciting himself about
something, but as he spoke Chinese
we were none the wiser. We asked
All Kun what the man was driving at
He smiled and said the captain want
ed a present. So we took no further
notice OF him and sailed on until we
came to creek, In which we tied
up for the night.
cit might have been about IL
o'clock when I was reused by hearing
a splash OF oars alongside. and short
ly after that number OF men jumped
on board. I shook my friend and he
leaped up and yelled for All Kun. No
one answered. grabbed for my gun,
but 1t was gone. So. pulled out the

physical, intellectual, moral and
spiritual.
You, my dear young people, have
fulfilled the great requirement. as re-
cipients of this noble revelation and
commission. You have spent four
precious years in turning aside to
see. You have sharpened your tools
for life's labors- you have enriched
your minds with the history and
literature of the past, you have stood
in wonder before the test tube and
crucible to see what this great power
in nature meaneth. But remember,
my young friends, this great oppor-
tunity and privilege is gift from
the past bought at the cost of labor
and self-sacrifice. Your parents
have given you this privilege at cost
and sacrifice, therefore never use it
selfshly. In your ambition to rise
never place your heel upon the heads
of your weaker brethren. Reverence
your own personality and the person
atty of all you meet. Moses was sum-
moned to great and noble task, one
fraught with labor and sacrifice. He
brought the highest culture of his
day and laid it upon the altar of
loyalty to his people and his God.
So, we believe, you aspire to do.

FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCKS.
They Kill by Attacking the Heart or
Respiratory Organs.

They Kill by Attacking the Heart or
Respiratory Organs.
While every one knows that an cleo
trio shock, if powerful enough, will
cause death, there are very few who
know exactly the cause, and from a de-
scription given in a recent English
magazine, quoting an authority on the
subject, the whole matter is simple.
Death produced from electric shock,
says this magazine, usually is the re-
suit of contraction of the fibrils or
muscular fbers of the heart or Of par
alysis of the respiratory organs.
While doctors have been unable to
find any treatment that will cure the
former, artificial respiration often over
comes the respiratory paralysis.
The effects of direct and alternat-
ing currents vary with the current
strength, the duration of contact and
the path through the body, and with
alternating currents low frequency
usually is more dangerous than high.
The lower animals are more susceph-
BILE to electric shock than man, dogs
often being killed by direct current
of seventy volts. In the average man
a direct current of 100 volts is scarcely
felt, 200 to 300 volts give rise to muscu-
lar cramps, while 500 volts will stop
respiration suddenly.-New York Press

Seattle, the Ste ee4nA.., After Whom
the City Was Named.
At Fort Maulson, on Puget sound,
fifteen miles northwest OF Seattle,
Wash, stands a monument to Seattle,
or Seath. chief of the SquaMish and
allied tribes. This aborigine was re-
garded as among the greatest of the
many Indian characters of the western
country. He ruled his people for more
than half a century with superior tai
ent and was looked upon as states
man who had no equal among the
tribesmen.
At the time of his death, in 1866, he
was the acknowledged head and chief
sachem of all the tribes living on or
near Puget sound. He had reached
the age of eighty when he passed
away and had made many warm
friendships with the white pioneers in
washington. Over 100 white men
were in attendance at his funeral.
In 1890 his friends erected a monu-
ment of Italian marble, seven feet
high, with base or pedestal sur
mounted by cross bearing the letters
II. 81. S." On one side of the monu-
ment is the following inscription:
