CHINA NOT LAND OF HUSTLE
Traveller in That Country Must Possess
Generous Amount of Patience
and Tact.

Sooner or later, writes f. III. Wilson
In "A Naturalist In Western China"
the traveller in China must dispense
with the comforts and luxuries Of
modern occidental methods " travel
and adapt himself to those more primi-
tive and decidedly less comfortable Of
the oriental.
In the regions with which we have
to deal there Is nothing in the nature
Of wheeled vehicular traffic save only
the rude wheelbarrows in use on the
Chengtu plain. There are no mule
caravans. and scarcely a riding pony
to be found. For overland travel there
Is the native sedan-chair and ones own
legs; for river travel the native boat.
Patience, tact and abundance OF
time are necessary and the would-bo
traveller lacking any Of these essentials
should seek lands where less primitive
methods obtain. Endowed with the viz
tues mentioned, and having unlimited
time ut his disposal, he may travel
anywhere and everywhere In China in
safety. with considerable pleasure and
abundant profit in knowledge. With
her industrious tOiling millions, her old,
old civilization, her enormous natural
wealth and wondrous scenery, China
alternately "'HriIS and fascinates, irri-
tafcs and plungoS into despair, all who
soJourn long within her borders.

NEVER SAW THE Sy.YANEE
Writer Of Popular Song Used Earno
Ecc..ac Rhythmic Sound o! It
Appealed to Him.

Tie song. "Old Folks ut Home"
made the name OF "Swanee River" fa-
nous, but few people. except those OF
Florida and Georgia, connect the
Swance of the song with the Suwanee
that flows from the southern SwumpS
OF Georgia down through the wood
lands of Florida to empty into the Gulf
of Mexico.
"Way down upon the Swanee river"
suggests vaguely the South of the ante
bellum days with its cotton plantations.
Its mansions and negro cabins. None
OF these things are found along the SUI
vance. Yet FAoridans claim that the
song was written In honor of their for
est stream, and boatmen even point
out tree under which Stephen Fos-
ter Is supposed to have penned the
memorable lines. Reports less pic
turesque, but more generally accepted,
say that Foster never saw Suwanee
river, but that he used the name be-
cause Of the rhythmic sound, dropping
the "u' to perfect the meter.
While the Suwanee river may not
be what its name suggests to most Of
us. it is beautiful stream, flowing
through Semi-tropical country where
Hve-ohks and Expresses are mirrOred
In its clear depths. Heavy forests OF
cedar. also grow In its valley, but these
have been reduced in recent years. as
the wood is in great demand for pen
Gil making.
The Suwanee figured largely in
early American history, for it was a
fnvorite haunt OF the Indians, and
many battles with the red men we're
fought in its valleys.
The name Suwanee has an Indian
sound, but it is said to be Il corrup-
ton of San Juan--a name given the
river by early Spanish explorers.

ELEPHANT MADE NO WHlMPE2
Underwent Pain Of Having Tooth
Drawn With Stoiciem That Would
Shame Many Humans.

1t does not require much imagina-
ton to realize that pulling an ele-
phants tooth is something Of an en-
gineering rs well as dental Job.
An example of this was when Albert.
one Of the biggest elephants in the
Ringling herd at Madison Square gur-
den. New York, had refused to eat
and the circus veterinary found great
tooth cavity which was beyond RENE
dy by filling.
The tooth that was giving Albert so
much discomfort was rs large as a
mans fist. After a liberal dose of CO.
caine had been injected, forceps as big
as Ice tOngs were clamped to the tooth,
rope attached to the forceps. and a
squad OF trainers made ready to sup
ply the pulling power.
At given signal the trainers gave
tremendous pull, and out came the
huge tooth.
In this sort Of dental work the un-
known quantity lies in what the ele-
plant will do. Albert had been taken
out Of the menagerie to prevent panic
among the rest Of the herd ir case he
developed an inclination to object to
the process. However, he underwent
the ordeal calmly, and rs soon as his
jaw was dressed he was conducted
back to his stall.

Put End to MosIem Piracy.

In the sixteenth century European

Moslem pirates were the peril of the

of the Spanish fleet, and his allies. the
italian Squndrons and the Venetian
and Neapolitan fleets, ut naval bat

PATSY
BY JACK LAYTON.

Peter Webster drew up his car be-
fore the rambling farmhouse and
viewed 1t appraisingly. He had taken
upon himself the task Of selecting n
suitable summer boarding place for
his senior partners nerve-worn
daughter-or rather, the task, rs usu-
al, was thrust upon him.
To Peter, it seemed that he had dur

'Ored daughter was one Of a class to
be stunned. So Peter deliberately
stunned her; though difficult of car
rying out was his purpose. Not only
the girls family and adorlng mother,
but his own financially ambitious one,
we're anxious to bring the two togeth-
er, In hope Of possible proud alli-
ance.
Peter, desiring not to be a cause Of
disappointment, determined to hold
aloof. He was fond Of his old senior
partner; his sympathies went out to
TIE busy man. who must constantly be
ourdened with added home cares.
Therefore Peter had. with much con-
Sderation, chosen Miss Pembroke's
luxurious car. and also, being a musl-
clan, he had selected, at her fathers
