FUNNY MONEY IN CHINA.
Getting or Making Change 10 . Sore
Trial to q Foreigner.

ITtaI 70 4 = ToTeISUeTs
A dollar of o,'r money in Chinese
cash weighs eighteen pounds.
IA Chentefu, which is small village
where white people seldom go. was
going along with my guide when ! saw
4 small peddler beside the street with
some fine Peking pears bought SIX
If them for 21a cents and in payment
gave the street peddler twenty cent
piece. He turned it over and over and
tested it with his thumb nail, which
was surely made for the purpose. The
peddler gave back the coin and said
that he would not take it. The guide
asked him why. and he explained that
he had never seen any such money and
that it might be bad. So had to dig
up some cOppers.
In all his life the peddler had never
seen a piece of silver money. There
are thousands and thousands Of people
in China whose financial dealings new
er amount to enough to have 1t put
into silver, who are born. grow old and
pass to their reward without ever hav.
ing seen a piece of silver.
All China is suspicious about money.
Every time you put down dime or q
piece of silver the other person tests 1t
before he will take 1t. ringing it on the
counter or on the pavement. You can't
give merchant the right amount Of
change and walk Off He won't let
you leave until he has tested every
piece, and he always gives back one or
two pieces. He wouldn't think very
much of himself as a merchant II he
didn't refuse some of your money.
If you buy something in one part of
store. get your change and walk to
another counter and buy something
else and give the change that has just
been given you the second clerk OH
general principles will refuse part of It.
Before you buy anything your money
has to have the once over. Sometimes
it is maddening to have to wait while
your money is tested. One day rush
ed up to catch a train with just min
ute to spare. One Of my dollars was
bad, and before change could be made
the train had rulnbled off into the 81
lent night without me. But in a few
minutes the silence was broken-brO
ken beyond repair-by an impuisivt

That the Cummins organization is
not seeking to elect any certain dele
gates from Montana to the Republi-
can National Convention at Chicago,
in June, was the emphatic declaration
today of o. M. Harvey, State Man
ager of the "Cummins for President"
forces. His statement, leaving no
room for doubt as to where he stood
in the matter, came in response to
questions regarding a list of eight
delegates for whom the friends of the
Iowa senator it was rumored, would
ask support at the primaries to be
held April 21.
"There is no such list, has not been
and will not be-" positively asserted
Mr.. Harvey. Fright from the start
the Cummins campaign has been an
open, square effort to secure in the
primaries the endorsement of Sen
ator Cummins by Montana Republi-
cans, which carries with it, under the
law, the instructed delegation in sup
port of his candidacy. Of the %
candidates for election as delegates
there are none in any way objec-

LIFE OF A PEARL.
A Good Jewel Never Gets Sick Nor
Dull, Says an Expert.

A Good Jewel Never Gets Sick Nor
Dull, Says an Expert.
In his book, THE Magic of Jewels
and Charms" George f. Kunz. the
jewel expert, explodes the sick pearl
fallacy. He says:
'For years u statement has been go.
ing through the press that pearls are
liable to become diseased and die and
that the famous necklace Of pearls pre-
sented by President Thiers of France
to his wife and bequeathed by Nine.
Theirs to the French government had
lost their luster and died. perhaps ow-
ing to the death Of the owner. For
there is an old belief that pearls. as
we'll as opals and turquoises, lose some
Of their luster when the owner or
wearer becomes Ill and change to q
dull and lifeless hue when the owner
dies.
AN examination of the necklace by
the writer showed that the pearls were
in good condition. and to confirm his
statement to this effect he had the di
rector of the Louvre museum write
him a letter. In this official communi
cation the director not only states that
the pearls had not sickened and died.
but that they were in as healthy a
condition as they had ever been.
1.-THE invariable experience OF the
writer has been that whenever pearls
have been said to have suffered in this
way the true explanation has been that
they were old and poor at the time Of
their purchase and that this romance
was started on its travels as an excuse
to cover up the defect of such pearls
and to arouse the belief that they had
been remarkably beautiful and valu-
able when they were originally &C.
quired."

tention to and building up city or
town, than any other agency that
can be employed. People go where
there is business. Capital and labor
will locate where there is an enter
prising community. No power on
earth is so strong to build up town
as a newspaper well patronized, and
its power should be appreciated"
The following pathetic scene oc-
Cured in Branson & McMillan's sa-
loon Thursday afternoon: He stroll
ed up to the bar with tear in
his eye and a look Of despair on
his face. "Lem," he said, "I'm going
to quit the town tonight never to re-
turn and if you ever intend to buy
me drink you had better do it now"
The proprietor lost his balance and
nearly fell over into barrel of "sour
mash," so deeply had the scene eff
fected him.. Suddenly regaining his
composure he beloved out: ~ will
give you ten seconds to vamoose from
this bar; you can leave town when
you get ready" His deliberations had
been fatal-to the man who had "won

town. He is still here and says he
will get even with that bartender if
he has to remain in Glasgow the rest
of his natural life.

 It does the heart of teacher good to see her pupils progressing in their studies and developing in manhood and womanhood But just as there is more joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth than over ninety and nine that needed no repentance, so there is more joy in the heart of the teacher oyer the pupil who, after months of years of bad conduct or poor work, at last catches step and moves up the line to better things. Such joy has been ours this year. Boys and girls with unsatisfactory records behind them covering two, three and four years, have somehow fallen into line. Now they are order ly and respectful and industrious. They are trying to make up for lost time and favor. Let those who have noted the change not fail to show their appreciation of it when oppor- tu6ity affords. "A word itly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver"
