FREEDOM IN BURMA
No One Interferes in the Affairs
of Another.
Remarkable Trait Of Burmese Charac-
ter Is Their UnWillingness to In
terfere In Other Peoples BusI-
ress-Each Acts for Self.

London.-A remarkable trait of the
Burmese character Is their unwilling
ness to interfere in other peoples
affairs. Whether it arises from their
religion of self-culture or no, I cannot
say, but it is in full keeping with It.
Every mans acts and thoughts are his
own affair, think the Burmans; each
man is free to go his own way, to
think his own thoughts, to act his own
acts, as long as he does not too much
annoy his neighbors. Each man Is
responsible for himself and for him.
self alone, and there Is no need for
him to try and be guardian also to his
fellows. And so the Burman likes to
go his own way, to be a tree man
within certain limits; and the freedom
that he demands for himself he will
extend also to his neighbors. He has
a very great and wide tolerance to-
ward all his neighbors, not thinking 1t
necessary to disapprove of his neigh
bors' acts because they may not be
the same as ais own, never thinking
1t necessary to interfere with his
US1SuuOIS DIS loIlS DIS LAS laws diS
Dot broken.
Our idea that what habits are diff
ferent to our habits must be wrong,
and being wrong require correction at
our hands, is very far from his
thoughts. He never desires to inter-
fere with anyone. Certain as he is
that his own ideas are best, he is con-
tented with that knowledge, and is not
ceaselessly DESTROYS of proving 1t
upon other people
And so foreigner may go and live
in a Burman village, may settle down
there and live his own life and follow
his own customs in perfect freedom;
may dress and eat and drink and pray
and die as he likes. No one will in
terfere No one will try and correct
him; no one will be forever insisting
to him that he is an outcast, either
from civilization of from religion. The
people will accept him for what he
is and leave the matter there. If he
likes to change his ways and conform
to Burmese habits and Buddhist forms.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1913-07-26

SO much the better; but if not, never
mind.
1t is, I think, a great deal owing to
this habit Of mind that the manners
of the Burmese are usually SO good,
children IN civilization as they are.
There is among them no rude inquisi-
tiveness and no desire to in any way
circumscribe your freedom by either
remark or act. Surely of all things
that cause trouble nothing is SO COM
mon among us as the interference
with each others ways, as the need
less giving Of advice, It seems to each
of us that we are responsible not only
for ourselves, but also for every one
else near us; and so if we disapprove
of any act we are always in a hurry
to express our disapproval and to
try and persuade the actor to our way
OF thinking. We are forever thinking
OF others and trying to improve them;
as nation we try to coerce weaker
nations and to convert stronger ones,
and as individuals we do the same.
We are sure that other people cannot
but be better and happier for being
brought into our ways Of thinking, by
force even, II necessary. We call II
philanthropy.

KISSED FOR HEROIC FEED
Young Man Saves Girl in Runaway
and Is AffectionateIy Rewarded
for the Act.

Cleveland, O.-With romance all
about him and the soft spring twilight
filed with strolling couples, Harry H.
Christensen walked alone one night
and felt himself an outcast until he
started to cross Lake avenue at West
10th street. Then, in a. breath, he
found himself a hero; was paid for his
bravery with a hug and kiss, and
had been shyly invited to call.
Screams from a girl, the rapid
pounding of hoofs and the rattle of a
swiftly drawn carriage reached his
ears and as he turned he saw horse,
lines dragging on the pavement,
plunging wildly on, with a girl help
less in the vehicle.
Christensen, who is young and ath.
1etic, made a football tackle on the
horses neck. His hold slipped, but
as he fell he grabbed dangling rein.
He rolled almost beneath the wheels,
but held the rein fast and brought the
horse to a stop against the curb.
The young woman jumped out,
picked him up, Rugged and kissed him,
Christensen says.
When the horse quoted the young
woman drove her rescuer to his home,
1851 West 10th street En- route she
confided to him that she had gone
driving against her parents wishes.
II he would promise never, never to
tell Of the incident she would like
very much to have him call. He
promised. Also he promised, at her
request, not to reveal her name. He
kept that promise, too.
The girl is the daughter of a promi-
nent Cleveland business man who
lives in Lakewood. Christensen is
real estate salesman.

China has large area Of barren
land, despite her dense population.
The reason being that for many CEN
turtles 1t has been necessary to give
the closest possible attention to every
square foot of land suited to agricul-
ture in order that the people should
be fed. The Chinese have shown
themselves to be good agriculturists,
but In developing agriculture they
have sacrificed the forests on land
which could be cultivated and at the
same time have neglected to plant for
ests on the now barren mountains.
This has been because the govern
ment has taken no interest In the sub
iect, and forestry on anything like a
national scale Is too big proposition
for Individual enterprise, even II In
China there had been a spirit cffen-
terprise. One OF the signs Of the tew
order of things under the republic is
the recent application by the governol
of the province Of shantung to Major
Ahern. the director Of forestry In the
Philippines, for permission to send as
many Chinese students as possible to
the Los Banos forestry school.

TELLS HOW 1T FEELS TO DIE
Kansas City Man Declares 1t Is Just
Like Peacefully Going to
Sleep.

Kansas City, Mo-"Yes, I knew
was dying, but could not help it, and
1t was not such bad feeling after
all" This Is the way George Luker,
then in hospital here, described his
journey beyond the portals of the
valley of the shadows" from which
he was rescued by the use of the pull
moter in ths hands of pair Of ener-
getic physicians. He was found on
street curb, dead to all appearances,
but was taken to a hospital, where,
after six hours work with the ma
chine that induces artificial respira-
ton, he began showing signs Of re-
turning life, and finally recovered
enough to tell Of his experiences.
Il do not know what happened to
me-" he explained In a weak voice.
II was going down the street when
suddenly felt myself getting weak, and
then remember sinking to the side
walk. There was no one near, as 1t
was late at night on a lonely thor
oughfare. but I did not care

was quiet It was just like sinking
into the unconsctousness Of sleep on

tired
Speaking Of his feeling when
brought back to life by the puImotor's
work, Luker said: Il did not have
any feeling after everything became
quiet, until I experienced the sensa-
ton Of someone being near me. It
seemed as if were up on high and
was gradually coming back to earth.

then the voices came nearer. Finally

and then I did not think about any
thing else. because was very sick.
The hospital physicians believe Lux
er suffered an attack of heart trouble.
When brought into the hospital, his
body was blue and failed to show q
single sign of life. But after 90 cubic
feet Of oxygen had been pumped into
his lungs by the pulmotor he revived.

Piedmont, W. va.-George Ensor, a
business man of this city, while fish
ing near Mountaindale, was attacked
by snakes, which came from a rotten
log on which he was sitting. Before
he could beat them of the reptiles
had entwined themselves about him,
binding his arms, hands and feet. The
snakes, more than dozen In number,
measured from to 8 feet in length.
Mr.. Ensor, after vainly endeavoring
to work his arms and feet loose, had
the presence Of mind to roll down a

Haunted Watch Tower Of San Juan
conquistadores to guard San Juan
from land attack, the haunted" sen
try box is regarded as one Of the
sights" of the Porto Rican capital.
The story Of this crumbling bit Of ma
sonry runs to the effect that within
the last 100 years six men have ca.
tered the tower and were apparently
swallowed up. None of the sextet, it
is declared, were ever seen again. The
first three disappearance, of which a
record has been kept, occurred within
the first half Of the nineteenth century
and were separated by considerable
intervals-the last one being in 1910.
Ten years elapsed and the memory OF
the mysterious happenings was wear
ing thin when three more men van
ished in as many days. Since then
the tower has been Stunned as A. pes.
thence, but its secret-if it has 8ne-
has remained undiscovered. All the
cases were identical in that the miss.
ing one was a member Of the garrison
of San Cristobal detailed for night
sentry duty on the sea wall. Ghostly
legends by the score cling round this
ancient tower, but the mystery sur
rounding the fate Of the six luckless
'soldados" remains as deep as ever.
