parts of the Tang" It is, therefore,
not incorrect to say that the Chinese
sleep on their stoves.
All the next day we were gradually
approaching the mountains and were
beginning to wind our way up beau
tiful valley through which flowed .
large river. which we crossed by
means of ferry boat. We were now
passing through a beautiful farming
country. We noticed that the farm
ers did not live on their farms. but
were congregated in villages and
towns. Almost every farmer had .
hut on his farm, where he could camp
out while watching his crops.
As soon as we had travelled days
journey from Picking we began to at
tract great deal of attention. The
people were curious to see the for
eigners. The children often ned be-
fore US, crying. "the foreign devils

Accept the Republic.
a Wherever we stopped we tried. by
conversing with the people, to ascer-
tain their attitude toward the repub-
lican government. 1t was very clear
from what they said that they &C
cepted the republic as an accom-
plished fact, and believed that 1t had
come to stay. Just what republic
was the ordinary people did not seem
to know. Most Of them seemed to
think it was a new order Of things
which would gradually compel the
Chinese to cut their cues and to fol-
low foreign customs in general. Some
of the more intelligent people believed
that the republic would in some way
lead to a participation in the govern
meht on the part Of the people. Just
how this participation was to come
about they did not know or care.
The great majority regarded the form
of government as no concern OF
theirs. It was for the officials In Pc
king to decide on the form Of gov
eminent. They did not care what
form of government they. decided
upon so long as the taxes were not
increased.
While chary about talking politics,
the people were not averse to discuss

ing the affairs Of their own particular
community. We found every particu-
lar community had it's own fund Of
legends and folklore. At Shihsia.
where we stopped for lunch on July
II, we were told that the place owed
it's name to the fact that there was
a huge stone in a neighboring valley
resembling a gigantic treasure chest
This stone is said to contain . vast
fortune in the shape Of gold. silver
and precious stones.

which was about all our animals could
stand, owing to the hot weather. AS
we began to wind our way up into the
mountains the air became somewhat
cooler. We were also greatly re-
freshed by finding springs of clear.
cool water which issued from the
mountain sides. We had hoped to
reach Koupeikou pass and the great
wall ON the evening Of July II, but .
thunderstorm forced us to take ref
uge in a mountain inn at place
called Hsinkailing. We spent the
night there and set out early the next
morning. We had travelled only .

Desiring to visit these palaces before
their occupancy by the imperial fam
ny should render them inaccessible
to the public. the correspondent de-
cided to make q trip to Johol. As
Willis r. Peck of the Chinese secre-
:atariat of the American legation was
planning to make the same journey.
We decided to join forces and travel
together.
Mrs. Peck very pluckily insisted on
accompanying her husband. in spite
If the fact that the country through
which we were to pass had been In
more or less disturbed state ever
since the revolution, and brigandage
had been rife on all the principal
trade routes. Mrs. Peck argued that
any place was safe for her that was
safe for her husband. We tried to
tell her that only one or two foreign
women had eve rgone to Jehol, but
she answered that this was the very
reason why she wanted to go. In
the end her arguments prevailed,
though we had some misgivings about
the advisability of woman's making
such journey. When it was finally
decided that Mrs. Peck should accom-
pany US, we took care to put in an
extra supply Of cartridges for our re-
volvers and guns.
Mules for Transport.
The road which leads from Picking
to Jehol passes through some very
mountainous country, and is more
suitable for mules and donkeys than
for horses. We therefore, decided to
dispense with horses and to use only
pack mules and donkeys. We en-
gagged five pack mules and three don
keys. The owner Of the mules and
donkeys agreed to send two muleteers
with us to care for the animals.
On Tuesday. July .. we set out
from one of the northern gates of Pc
king and travelled in q northeasterly
direction. The pack mules carried

appealed TO the dictionary as their ar

What Is Immoral?

Many years ago, Mrs. Warren's
Profession was stopped by the same
magistrate who has been bordering
on the ethical effect Of other PLAYS
which deal with the subject of prosti-
tuition. Mrs. Warren's Profession
Is an extremely moral play. Indeed,
the police seldom stop q play which
ls really immoral. Every summer. the
theaters are crowded with musicaI
comedies. "revues" and 'follies" and
gardens. In which exhibitions are
given built up mainly for the purpose
Of playing upon the sex instincts. and
these exhibitions doubtless do q great
deal to recruit the ranks. Nobody,
however, undertakes to stop any of
these frivolous stimulants, and the
policeman who should undertake To
DO 30 would find himself extremely un-
popular The very men who howl bit
terly against showing the dismal truth
IN Damaged Goods" and In ANY
Night go night after night to the
musical comedies.
1t Is a very excellent thing that the
American people are coming to recog.
nize this evil, talk about II, and think
about 1t, and study 1t in all ways. II
Is one OF the saddest, most destruc-
tive, most unjust diseases OF civilixa-
ton, and II will never be lessened
by the Puritanic device of silence. VI
course, there are q large number OF
men in the world who would like to
have the whole subject let alone, so
that their own pleasures can be cater
ed to, while the women and young
people In their families are told not
to concern themselves with such un-
pleasant and improper topics. This
effort to shut OF free observation and
discussion of this particular horror
will be a losing effort, no matter how
many policemen and newspapers and
virtuous Philistines join In 1t. All
classes Of the community and both
sexes are going to be made familiar
with the facts and what they mean

police dope up to date. She Is the
proprietress OF hotel In West 45th-

the kind from which no guest ever
writes letters home
The other night the police pinched
the place. They arrested Mrs. Bar

IS years old and said TO be wealthy.
She got bail at once. and sent
word to Detective Jones. who had
charge OF the case. that she would
like to meet him and AK things up"
with him and the two policemen who
had made the arrest. Undoubtedly
she had precedent for such a pro-
cedure.
Jones made q date with her. They
met In Central Park. with a stenog.
rapher hiding In clump of bushes
nearby. Jones agreed to take $500
from the woman. $500 for himself and
500 for each Of the cops. The money
was to be paid in one of the big de-
partment stores In 42d-st
The next day, at the appointed
time. the detective was standing near

the rules of the department OF Justice
