Cahill was widow and had no relatives
to go to- She tried to find another "situ-

was 65 years old.
She had known only one home for 30
years She thought that IL she could
only find the family which had moved
away they would take her again. But
nobody could tell her their address.
She spent her days searching and lived
meanwhile with Mrs. Emma ONeill in

told Mrs. O'Neill she was homesicK and
was looking for lost family. Mrs O'Neil
proved friendly soul. but in a few

Chinese Read Western Books

The Chinese translation of Bryce's s
american Commonwealth has become
a classic in this country, a fact which
accounts for the close copying by the
new Chinese government of American
political institutions. Young China already
has become widely read in western lit
erature, and every Chinese student is now
familiar with the works of Rosseau,
Montesquieu, Spencer. Huxley, Darwin,
Mill and Adam Smith through the me-
dium of translations.
The Chinese always have been lit
erary people, and since the abolition of
the literary examinations of the ancient
regime in Chinese classics, they have
thrown themselves into the study of law
with astounding energy. Standard text
books in Chinese schools and colleges
consist of Bryce's American Common
wealth." Lowelrs Governments and
Parties in Continental Europe" and Bur-
CESS Political Science and Comparative
Constitutional Law"
In almost every Chinese home may be
found light literature translated from
every European language. Scotts "Ivan-
hoe" and Stevenson's Treasure Island"
are popular favorites. 1t is said that a
total of 1000 different books by the best
authors of America and Europe have been
translated into Chinese. While there is
no translation of Shakespeare, every
schoolboy in China has chance to know
the bard from Lambs Tales of Shakes
peare.'

TELLS WHY
Women Should Not Propose, and Vir-
ginia Girl Wins Prize

Richmond, Va, December 13.-(Special)
Miss Nell r. Lee Murphy OF this city.
pronounced the wittiest girl in the south
by Gen. Bennett H. Young of Louisville.
Ky. former commander of the grand
camp, United Confederate Veterans. was
today awarded first prize in a newspaper
contest for the best answer to the aues-
ton. Should women propose?"
Her answer is as follows: Let man
propose forever; cheap gifts are lightly
treasured. Man h1ost admires in woman
modesty. Without respect love dies.
From the groier to love, man is eonsti-
tuted to chase. If the bride must be
given away, let father do 1t. In old vir-
ginia. at least. God forbid the bride un-
sought will ever give herself away, for
de fruit dat draps afore 'tis took am apt
to be too mellow
Miss Murphy has been a belle at sew
eral annual reunions within the last few
years. and it was while she was attend
ing the grand encampment of the VET
Grams at Chattanooga last spring that
General Young declared her wit exceeded
that of any other girl In the southland.

Soldiers Become Bandits

In the south may be noted one Choo,
who tried unsuccessfully to loot Canton
and fled to Fushau. Unfortunately some
of the soldiers sent against him threw I'm
their lot with him, and Choo is at present
driving a brisk business.
Associated with White Wolf was at one
time a formidable bandit chief named
Wang Tien-chung, but he succumbed to
the proffer of a lucrative government
position. Today he is rendering valuable
service to his new masters. The famous
Tiger Hsu'' was another well known
robber whose claws were cut by an at
tractiye offer. White Wolf was made a
similar proffer but refused. He is moi
only against the present. but against
every government that savours of reform,
his ideas and actions having their roots
in the TAPPING rebellion.
The immense distances, the wildness OF
many regions of China, and the want OF
even passable roads make it extremely
difficult to proceed successfully against
these bandits; and to some extent China
has always suffered from such. But il
cannot be questioned that two years oi
revolution and relaxed authority have
given them exceptional opportunities, and
the terrorism they exercise is badly hold
ing I'D trade.

LATEST IN AEROPLANE is
