POOR DWELLING PLACE, THIS
British Naval Base Of Wei-Hei-W6
Has Decidedly Few Attractions
for European Residents.

Wei-hei-wei is the bit Of Chinese ter
ritory that the British hold under lease
as a naval and commercial base. 1t lie
just across the breadth of the Shan.
tung peninsula from Kiachow. Wei
hei-wei lies partly on the mainland
partly on an island, where the dock
yard, the coaling station and the rest
of the machinery for naval base are
located. Most Of the civilian popuia.
ton live on the mainland, and patron
lie little steam launch that plies
across the intervening sea when they
want to go shopping; for with an eye
to getting the British jackies' trade
when warships put In to coal. the
shops Of Wei-hei-wei are out with the
docks and the coal yards.
The island seen from the steam
launch is q barren, sandy hill, ridged
with gullies that the hurrying rain wa
ter has cut In its course to the sea.
The sand Of these hills Is one Of the
omnipresent features Of the colony !;
every wind that blows carries 1t about
by pounds, and only the cheapness OF
Chinese servants makes it possible to
keep European household busted.
The mainstreet on the island has the
characteristic British colonial look,
with British post Office, British
steamship booking office, and British
shops. On the short side street are the
Chinese shops, which are only opened
at certain seasons when visitors are
plenty, or when warship puts In tc
the harbor.

vented him from writing the book he
intended to make his life work, the

give the title of an unfinished work Of
Spinoza's, viz, DE Emendatione Hu-

beauty Of patience and contributed an
anecdote along that line.
Some time since Smith and his wife
went out for spin in their new auto
mobile, but before they had gone many
miles something went amiss with the
machinery. Crawling beneath the
car, Smith began to twist and turn
things, and finally there came sundry
words that sounded like breaking one
Of the blue laws.
"John, John |" expostulated the good
woman in the car. "You should not use
such dreadful language"
"Of course shouldn't, Mrs. Smith ]"
irritably responded hubby. "Of course
I shouldn't I suppose that II you

returned Mrs. Smith. "Why don't you

St. Louis Gets Tim Hendryx
His Place To Be

Our old friend Lee Magec, who failed
so dismally for Wild Bill Donovan and
the Yankees, figured yesterday in a
threc-corncred deal in which the local
American League Club is Interested.
Magee realized an ambition. expressed
repeatedly this winter, Of getting back
into the National League, where he
started some years ago, and with the
club he wished most to jcin--non
other than Matty's Cincinnati Reds.
The deal that sent Magee from the
st. Louis Browns to Cincinnati was
three-cornered one. st. Louis traded
Lee for Outhcldcr Tim Hendryx, late
Of the Yankees, but who appears to
have passed into the custody Of the
Reds through tho waiver route. Hug
gins IN later to select player to re-
place Hendryx either from the browns
or the Reds The courtesy OF waving
Ucndryx out Of the Johnson circuit was
evidently II repetition Of the compi'-
