his son, Hleng-Fung, adopted reac-

One of the odd results OF the intro

the appearance in 1851 of rebel lead

who announced himself rs the restor-

self the brother of Jesus, the second
son of God and the monarch of all be-

lowers called themselves Taeplngs, or
"Prince Of peace" but the title was
utterly beiIed by their ntroclous deeds.

II Seemed Better to Parrot the Belgian.

Just before they lowered the lights,
two German officers entered. They |
stood at the door for moment look
Ing the place over. Then they made
beelne in my direction and ! must
confess my heart started to beat
little faster. hoped that they would
find another seat before they came TO
my vicinity, but they were getting
nearer and nearer and I realized with
slckcnlng sensation that they were
headed directly for tile two seats nj
my table, and that was Indeed the
case
These two seats were In front OF the
table facing the stage and except when

there was considerable consolation In
that From my seat could have

he waited on the others first and l
listened mtently to their orders. the
officers ordered some light wine. but
my Belgian nelghbor ordered "Bock'
for himself and his wife, which was
what had decided to order anyway,
as that was the only thing could sny.

In my pronunciation might give fur

gan and order "Bock" and that was
what | decided to 90.

very suspiclously, although | must
have resembled anything but British

not understand n word they said, but
think they were discussing my prob

the room. There were three alto

somewhat smaller, about fourteen feet
long and six deep. In this smaller
room there were two double-decked

In Latin countries The worst per-

never let up on him. When 1t comes

and the sailors work themselves Into
n frenzy over the performance.
In all such affairs Judas, OF course,
is represented by an eiligy-usunlly
suit of clothes properly stuffed and
provided with head and hands OF
sorts. He may also have long benrd.
by which TO yank him insultlngly
about.
The city OF Lisbon, however, makes
the really impressive Good Friday
celebration. In front OF nearly every
house n grotesque figure supposed to
represent the arch-betrayer IL set on
sort OF funeral pyre or else sus-
pended high In air by rope across
the street. In the latter case II Is
filed with straw and gunpOwder.
AT stroke Of noon the bell OF the
great cathedral tolls. Fire Is set to
all the pyres and the dangling ELL
giles are exploded.
All over South America Judas Is
hanged on Good Friday. In Mexico

The more hldeous they are the better
they sell. On every block there Is NJ
least one llfe-slze dummy hanging
from line across the street. AT the
first stroke of IL all OF them are
thrown into bonnres. The excitement
is tremendous.
In front OF the Jockey club In Mex
leo City Judas assumes the character
Of a superbly dressed cnballero on
horseback. Steed and rider nre OF
pasteboard, but the accoutrements are
real. The saddle has silver trappings'
the bride Is ornamented with silver
stripes Of silver dollars run down the
pantaloons, the handsome riding boots
have silver spurs and on the head Is a
sombrero with band Of silver bull
lion.
This very gorgeous Judas and his
horse are stuffed with money. In fact
they have been fed on silver col IS
until they are fat with the diet.
At noon out comes n servant from
the club with lighted taper on the
end Of long pole. Tumultuous cheers
from the great crowd assembled. The
bell Of the cathedral sounds the hour
and fuse is lgnlted, exploding a
charge Of gunpowder contained In the
cfigy. A wild struggle for the coins
and accoutrements winds up the pic
turcsque ceremony.

To Give and Take.

Very often ones efforts and good in
t~entions are not appreciated, but even
so we should not lose faith in those
around us. The human heart Graves
company and a few good friends are
golden treasures, especially to the
woman alone, or getting along in years,
but she must respect their rights and
privileges, says the New York Evening
Telegram. She should not make her
self unobtrusive or over-familiar, for
even those nearest and dearest to us
soon demonstrate the irritation they
feel if we infringe upon their interests
or good nature.
Keep at, a safe distance the woman
who does not see lots of redeeming fea-
lures in others. Over-familiar persons
bore their closest friends, and these
tactless people are the very ones who
declare that all humankind is heart
less.
