They Carry Their "Move on" Fever

Uncle Sam. rich and powerful, good
to his "help." and the surest pay In
the world. can't keep his cooks any
longer or better than the ordinary sub
urban commuter He offers them good
pay, easy hours and lots OF nights
out" but they simply will not over
look the fact that they are cooks, bred
and born, and so keep moving on.
United States marine corps statistics
covering the last two years show a
greater percentage Of men deserted
who gave occupation prior to entry as
cooks" than any other class that en-
listed during the period.
Desertions from the marine corps are
very light at all times. The average
marine considers that the service OF
fers better advantages than anything
he could find in civil life, and he be-
heves the opportunities for travel and
adventure to be unexcelled, and, were
# not for the cooks, marine corps Of
flcials believe that the "oldest branch
of the service" would have an almost
clean slate with regard to desertions.
No class of men look so lightly on the
oath of obligation as these selfsame
s'knights of the frying pan," marine
corps recruiters declare.

CHINESE TRICKERY.
Traders Who Keep Their Victims In
Financial Slavery.

Financial Slavery.
Dishonest travelling merchants In
China find q particularly lucrative field
in which to ply their labors. with the
result that almost unbelievable conse-
quences come to light now and then.
Some traders, taking advantage OF the
simplicity of the MOngolians, make an
attractive display OF goods such az the
natives crave to possess, and tempt
them to purchase what catches their
fancy.
Woe to one who Is beglIiled to walk
into the snare, for the glib tongue OF
the travelling merchant will soon in
duce him to take possession OF that
particular article to which his atten-
tion is directed ut any price demand
ed. If he has something to offer In
exchange fleeing stops there, but In
case he has nothing to give In return
q great calamity will befall him.
The vendor will assure him that he
u quite welcome to carry away the ar
ticle on credit. He will come back
again to the town after certain lapse
OF time. If the native hands over one
or several head Of cattle as the case
may be, and an extra sheep or horse,
equivalent In value to 80 or 40 per cent
Of the price OF the goods advanced, as
interest, everything will be satisfac-
tory. However, the merchant on re-
turning seldom collects the price. but
is satisfied with carrying away the
promised interest, leaving the pur-
chaser I'm debt 80 that he can forever
milk him.
Thus, 1t is not rare to see some
Mongolians working for the payment
Of usurlous interest on debt con-
tracted by their fathers or even grand
fathers as the result Of having fallen
victim to one Of these tricky Chinese
peddlers.-ArgOnaut.
Thugs Of India.
Among the countless varieties of
criminal which infest the large cities
you are doubtless familiar with the
one commonly designated by the name
thug" rufilan who would stab a
person In the back for a few cents.
The name thug" q derived from the
old religious order that fourished In
India unmolested up to about 1886
Thuggee was practiced by religious
fanatics, whose creed prohibited the
shedding of blood. Any human sscri-
fee which might be offered to the god
dess Kali must be slain without the
breaking Of the skin or the appearance
Of one bloodstain. Usually the thugs
masqueradcd as pilgrims or peAdlers,
got the confidence Of their victims and
then strangled them by means OF
rope, handkerchief or an unwound
turban. They were then bYyied In
shallow graves, dug with n consecrat
ed pickax, and third Of the plundG
was laid on the altar OF Kali, theis
barbaric deity.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-

HUGHES
IN TRENTON

To arrange with former Justice
Charles E. Hughes the plan of cam
paign to be followed in New Jersey
for the Republican Presidential can
didate, State Chairman Newton A. X.
Bugbee will meet Mr.. Hughes in New
York this week.
Mr.. Bugbee is anxious to have the
former Justice to come to New Jersey
and one of the tentative dates he has
selected is for Thursday of the Tren-
ton Fair, September %. The State
Chairman said this morning that he
regarded that day as the most adyan-
tageous time for the candidate to
meet in Trenton the leaders of the
party from all parts of the State. 1t
is probable that plans will be made
to have Mr.. Hughes give an address
as it is expected that approximately
$4,000 persons will be on the grounds
at the time.
AS yet it is not known whether
President Woodrow Wilson will be
able to come to the Trenton exposi-
ton this year. He visited the Fair
when he was Governor and also as a
Presidential candidate. His travelling.
however, will be contingent on the
national military situation.
When in New York Mr.. Bugbee will
learn from Mr.. Hughes his ideas for
New Jersey so that there may be
cooperation in the National campaign
program. An early meeting will then
be held in Trenton by the State Com
mittee for the selection of campaign
committees.
