PRO-JAP PARTY IN CHINA FALLS;

Pl,K.%C. Oct B. Tho fall Of the "nnfu clique" coH, .ionly identified

 concessions and privilagcs during the period of it's prominence, is seem- | igly complete and ire e,ocable. So
 complete is the collapse that it's chief representatives are at the mom-

 watched day and nigh. and every | passer-by, Chinese or foreign, has subjest to inspection, on the suspi- , cion amounting to belief that those , wanted are harboring in some one or several of the legations ana that they will eventually try to escape 1 from the city. Likewise all city sa1es are closed guarded to prevent pas | sage of any on the prescribed list. It is customary in Peking to post in railway stations and places gen
 orally where people congregate post CTS with the pictures of persons known to be pickpockets, sneak | thieves or burglars. Never before, 1 however in the memory of the old I est resident, have men who have Cc- supied high places of authority n pffa trC nf hA ,,l., carded.

 of one of those placarded was re- l moved. General Yuan Chi-kuei's, be- cause of indignity to the uniform which he was shown to be wearing.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS

At the regular monthly meeting of the City Council last night the rec Ommendation of the last Grand Jury was acted on in the matter of re- moval of screens from windows Of cigar stores and soft drink empor- iums. As there was no ordinance to cover the matter, 1t was thought that a request from the council to owners of such places would be all that was necessary and it was so ordered.

known to me heretofore as Mr. Sid.
ney. l shall give extracts from it:
IA family is an odiOuS imposition
of cruel conventionalities upon indi-
viduals who, accepting conventions,
however odious and cruel, are helpless.
The bond of blood is one no animal
(animals being rationalistic) tolerates,
even recognizes, but 1t is imposed up
on human beings, who find that the
most antagonistic natures must rec
oncile themselves to an arbitrary rule
of life which can come only to hide
BUSINESS.
'"There were in our family two chill
dren, my brother Richard and myself.
Our parents were the ordinary folk
who marry and have family. My
father was an communicative man,
whether from a habit of silence or a
lack of anything to say, 1 do not
know.
"My mother, as l recall her, was
gentle but, / imagine, futile. / think

Learn the Art of Life.

Life is so full Of beautiful stories
that it is uncomfortable that there
should be any need Of fiction or any
other form of art. Life itself is an
art and requires artists to live 1t.
There are few Of these and that may
account for written art.
People who can live on the plane of
their agreements and avoid the plane
of their antipathies make life, an art.
There was cobbler friend of ours,
poor, honest, witty, a philosopher and
withal handsome. He had wonder
fully gifted, beautiful sister and she
married forceful "plute," who was
devoted to her and whom she loved
as truly as she loved her brother, the
shoemaker. The shoemaker was a
leader in radical reform movement |;
the plute was the leader of the oppo-
sition. The shoemaker disdained any
sort of financial help from his broth
er-in-law, but being an old bachelor,
lived in the plute's house, sharing a
happy family life. There was never a
discordant word uttered, because these
three tacitly avoided topics or which
they did, not agree. They knew the
art of life.-Chicago News.

as to money. My father was not pc
nurious, but I never knew a man who
obtained so little good Of his money.
He had no social instincts; he had no
joviality.
"He liked occasional ostentation-a
petty form Of vanity and egotism. l
regarded him, or my memory of him,
as wholly detestable "a sentiment
which will offend the sentimentally
conventional, or the conventionally SEN
timental. / know he was the last man
1 would have chosen as father.

Birds that Burrow.

Persons are not accustomed to think
of birds as burrowing animals, but the
puffin answers to that description. II
is chunky little fowl, less than a
foot high. with large and powerful
beak. For a home 1t scratches hole
in the ground sometimes as much as
four feet deep. To capture putin
one must go digging. 1t is rather a
lob: and, inasmuch as the bird bites
and claws fiercely, one is likely to
suffer in the process. Thus the crea-
ture has maintained its numbers on
many a lonely rockery, where other
species of wild fowl have been killed
off and exterminated.

covers were removed, more wine was
brought in. A large Christmas tree
was lighted, and all the servants were
called. Each found a valuable present
in the tree; each had punch from the
great bowl, and each, coming to shake
Mr.. Sidney's hand, was given by JED
an envelope which, | learned after
ward, contained a hundred-dollar bill
There was no constraint and no
awkwardness such as might mark
such proceedings; the people OF the
house knew Mr.. Sidney too well. One
of the maids kissed him, and then we
had them all doing it.

would injure him, but he was placid,
smiling and happy. When we were
alone, we sat an hour by the fire, ana
then dismissed every one peremptor-
iIy.
Jed, who had been about his duties,
returned. The fire was tended. An
other bottle of wine was ordered

rs I stood by the door giving Jed
his final instructions for the night.
Jed sat in the armchair. ALI the
lights except one by Jed's chair had
been extinguished. The Persian cat
was stretched by Mr.. Sidney's side.
The canaries were asleep perched on
the head of his bed. The fire was
glowing.
"Good night, Mr.. Sidney" I said.
"Good night, Jed. A pleasant eve

"Good night, DOCTOR" said Mr.. Sid
ney. "Just minute, boy. Come here"
He reached out his hand.
Goodbye" he said.

EASY WAY TO CLEAN CLOCK
Small Piece of kerosene-Soaked Wool
Placed in Case Will Gather
Dust Particles.

When a clock stops It Is mistake
to suppose that it must at once be TAX
en- to the workshop for repairs. In
most cases clocks cease running be-
cause of the accumulation of dust par
ticles which clogs the bearings. 1t Is
not even needful to take the clock to
pieces to clean it If simple plan Is
followed which will be found to work
very well. Soak piece Of cotton wool
in kerosene and place this in a small
saucer, a canister lid, or anything SIM
liar. Then put this in the case OF the
clock under the works. Close up, and
at the end of "A hours, examine the
cotton wool. 1t will be found to be
covered with black specks; these are
the dust particles brought down by the
fumes of the kerosene. Wind the clock
up and it will start away again. Where
the works of the clock are in an In
closed case few drops of kerosene
should be poured through the small
hole which is present in the metal COW
ering. Turn the clock about while so
that the kerosene is distributed and
after an interval it is extremely likely
that the works will commence their
normal operations again.-Scientific
American.

large cups of punch before they went
out. Mr.. Sidney evidently was deter
mined to corrupt the whole household.
I'll never be able to give an ade-
quate idea of the joviality of that
Christmas eve in the sick-room. Mr..
Sidney and Jed had conspired for
some months to make a festival.
Our dinner, served in Mr.. Sidney's
room, brought boar's head, carried
by a laughing maid. Wine was sent
to the servants. Isobel found a pearl
necklace in what had seemed to be
baked sweet potato. / found a gold
watch in a box under few leaves of
lettuce. Mrs. Sidney found merely
note in a bunch Of violets which was
given hel with ceremony.
She read it and had difficulty to re-
main wholly composed. She arose and
went to her husband, taking one OF
his hands and putting an arm about
his shoulders. Then she kissed him
and stood a moment before the fire
before she trusted herself to come
back to the table.

Queer Christmas Customs.

The tendency of man to seize upon
aud adapt to his own uses whatever is
attractive, no matter how incongruous
the original idea and the use to which
1t is applied, is strikingly illustrated
In the observances of the Christmas
pagan-a pagan celebration adapted to
the celebration of the birth of Christ.
Ages before the birth of Christ, the
Druids performed their weird rites in
the deep forests of Britain, using the
mystic holly and mistletoe, and burn
ing the Yule log in honor of Thor, the
god of war.

Christmas Holly.

The custom of employing holly and
other plants for decorative purposes
at Christmas is one of considerable
antiquity. and has been regarded as q
survival of the usages of the Roman
Saturnalia, or the old Teutonic prac
tice of hanging the interior of dwell
ings with evergreens as refuge fol
sylvan spirits from the inclemency OF
the winter. Several popular supersti
lions exist with respect to holly. In
the county of Rutland, England, it Is
