CHINESE WRITE
IN THEIR OWN O

Picking, Dec. 1.-THE American
Minister, Paul S. Reinsch, has receiv-
ed several letters from Chinese signed
with their own blood. One or two Of
them appeal for mediation with the
Japanese, others ask that America at.
tempt to cause a cessation of the war
in Europe. 1t is the custom Of Chin
csc to sign letters or even to write
them With their w blood in place Of
ink. when the reason for writing is
grave or nobly inspired. The saving
is that the writer "cut off a finger and
wrote with his blood" but as a rule a
small puncture in the skin supplies
sufficient blood for the writing Of a
letter.

 A little while ago q journalist of some ulstlncton and considerable reputation came to Washington. A young reporter, not greatly impressed by the elder man s attainments, rendered summary judg- ment; T don't think he'll last long. No- body likes his stun except MT. Blank 9 It should be said that Mir. Blank was the active, managing, sole proprietor Of the newspaper for which the elder jour nalist wrote. So far as Washington at large is concerned, and it does the local acumen and intelligence little credit Mir Bryan is in somewhat the same posture. Nobody likes his stuff except MT. Wilson
 That, in hriefest compass, Is MT Bryan's impregnahle position. The Secretary of State has not made himself popular at Washington. No public man for many years occupying high. important and re- sponsible place in an administration. has been so derided The town Is flushed with stories of his gaucheries and of his blunders and breaks" made in inter- course, official and social, with the dinlo- matic corps.

Wilson was elect ed there was nothing for 1t but 10 offer 10 make Mir. Bryan Secretary of Stats and President Wilson has never had u lucl<ier day than the one on which MT. Bryan accepted.
 For years and years engineers went to Niagara Falls looked at the tumbling water and scratched their heads. All that they saw was an unemployed force; en- ergy going to waste. They never saw any good in the falls until they were harnessed and made useful. That. in eff feet. is what MT Wilson has done to Mir Bryan. He has conserved and made use- full great natural, political resource. Mr. Wilson is the first man to whom Mir Bryan has ever been a loyal subordinate. or. indeed. subordinate at all. The peer less leader has become the peerless lieu- tenant. He is President Wilson's chief of-staff. Aside from their political and official relationship l venture to say that Mir. Wilson and Mir Bryan have become devoted personal friends
 These words of MT. Wilson about MT. Bryan must be taken at their face value: Not only have MT. Bryans character. his justice his sincerity. his transparent integrity. his Christian principle. made a deep impression upon all with whom he has dealt; but his tact in dealing with

 lieved. m
 Even if these stories were triie would not diminish by SO much as hands weight the outstanding circunN stance that Mir Bryan is the most im- portant agent of this administration. He Is Mr Wilson's outside man, He goes on all the out-of-town assignments. A list of Mir. Bryans callers through any week and an adequate summary of their conversations with the Secretary of State would reveal to the dullest underestimate ing how and why and in what degree Mir. Bryan Is and has been the largest single factor other than Mir. Wilson in the accepted and commonly recognized success of this democratic administration. MT. Bryan has not sought honor or glory or praise or reward for his share in the work. He has effaced himself. He has followed the Presidents lead. and in do- ing 1t he has astonished Washington. Everybody thought when he came here that he would put himself constantly to the fore; that he would crowd the Presi- dent out of the limelight. that he would be difficult to manage that he would emit views and opinions and Judgments on every subject of personal discussion: that he would have 10 be reconci1ed. To the general mystification, Mir. Bryan cast himself for the role Of the tail of the kite and has never once stepped outside of the character.

Uses Cats as Hounds

q rom the C11tdBO ITlDune.
 T. G. Nimmo of Sturgis, Miss, probably
 has the strangest pack of hounds in the United States. if not in the world It consists of two huge domestic cats
 which he has been training for more than three years. until they trail. point, and retrieve small game as well as any dogs ever seen in Mississippi. The cats i are named Tom and Jerry. and are used principally in hunting rabbits, tree squir- reIs and quail, though they have tracked and helped kill opossums and raccoons
 both of which are plentiful in that part of the south
 According to their owner, who began training the cats when they were kittens. on sight of rabbit, squirrel or quail they assume rigid positions. like that of q pointer, except that they move their tails slightly, and wait for him to como up and shoot the game they have found They have never. since he finished their training rushed forward to kill the game themselves, or to attempt to stalk it.
 When the shot is fired they retrieve tho fallen animal or bird, and if it is not quite dead give it a quietus by biting 1t in the neck
 The especial value of these cats Mir Nimmo says. is in their ability to trail. capture. and kill wounded squirrels which riee to the tree tops after being shot. He estimates he has secured some 200 squir- reis which otherwise would have been lost to him during the past season by the aio Of these cats. When he takes his snotgun from the rack in his home the cats leap about him. like hunting dogs. only they meow their pleasure at going afieid. rather than bark. as would a set ter or hound. Their owner says they arc better at trailing coons. those we'll known game animals of the south, than the best coon dogs In the state. Last December he captured p raccoons with theaid of he captured 22 raccoons with the aid of as scratch from the animals. From and Jerry said he, will follow me like dogs for miles through the woods, until they see or scent rabbit, bird or squirrel. Then they squat down close to the ground, wag their tails from side to side. and remain motionless until see the game and shoot. Then they dash for ward, seisinx the animal or bird and holding 1t until arrive"
