Germans dredged 1t out here and

stone quarried from the hills nearby
and brought down on a railroad built
piers and docks, including dry docks,
and erected a ring of twelve forts
along the ridges surrounding the pay.
Three of these forts were especially
strong and they played part In the
siege. They are on the hills, directly
back of Tslngtau. and in front OF
them Is barbed wire entanglement
and a ten-foot wall, whitewashed so
that any one trying to take the torts
might be the more easily seen. In al
dition the Germans had bomb-proo1
shelters and trenches all of which
were taken by the Japanese wheh
they captured the port.

A Terrible Deal.

T AYING down iiarshiy unfavorabie
criticism of a brother noyelist's
book, Novelist Robert W. Chambers
laughed heartily and said:
I'VE writers get terrible deal from
the public. Did you ever hear the
story about the playwright? It's typi-
cal of the deal we all get.
"A playwright sat in the front row
for the premiere OF his new play.
The first two acts went splendidiy.
and in the second intermission a lady
seated behind him. leaned forward
and. without a word. shipped off q
lock of his hair with pair Of pocket
scissors.
THE last two acts went very bad
ly. The play ended. in fact. in total
failure. AS. amid low Kisses, the cur
tain fell, the lady leaned over the
playwright again and placed the lock
of hair In his hand.

thousand sewing machines there every

The story of the peanut Industry of
Shantung is interesting. Its exports
to foreign countries now amount to
about 100000 pounds per annum.
and 1t exports annually something
like 10000 tons Of peanut oil This
trade all came from quart of pea
nuts which an American missionary
brought in from California about twenty
years ago. He gave them TO g native
convert, and since then they have been
spread all over Shantung, and especially
in the central and southern sections.
The peanuts are raised by small farm
ers, single family seldom having
more than one acre in this crop. They
yield on the average about two tons
to the acre. and the farmer is lucky

long to accept the challenge. Twelve
days later the second squadron of
their fleet was in front of the harbor

was bombarded by the ships and the
