MOVES WITH REST OF WORLD
Abundant Proof That China IS Wax Ing Up From Her Sleep Of Two
 Thousand Years.

AS a study in strange customs and startling incidents. China Is interest ing because 1t has changed so little In point of view during the last two thou sand years. The characteristic of China Is satisfaction with the wisdom of the fathers, slOwness to let go of principles tested by ages. The good Old-fashiOned Chinese soldier slOuch- ing along in his buggy clothes. or dOu- bled up on a pony, the shave-pated priest. the magistrate with his glass button and peacOck's feathers, the cOOlie in his blue cotton drawers, the pIumy merchant in his silks, have been coming and going for two or three millenniums, just about the same. Up to two decades ago the land seemed unchanged and unchange- able. The empire has an organization under which the nation has as much internal peace, and more prosperity. than most of it's neighbOrs.
 Nevertheless even a month or two in China makes 1t clear enough that China is rapidly going through a great change. Many Chinese in the treaty ports wear European. dress. telegraph wires are strung all over the country; a Chinese post office takes your mail, unless you make point of turning It over to the foreign posts; Chinese steamers splash along the rivers; To- cOmOtives frighten Chinese dOnkeys; iron works clang; schools spring up; modern buildings arise; newspaper appear; armies are created; public opinion has become a fashion.

.lnsA In Time

While driving through Yellowstone park we came to some muddy, clay like ground. Father happened to see a small shack in from the road and decided to go over to see who lived there. When he was about half way across the field he noticed a slight movement in the ground. Going over he found a hole about six inches wide. Thinking 1t was an animal hole be got down on his kEees to peer in. We saw a man come running from the hut, waving his arms excitedly. Fa- ther did not hear him because, as he said afterward, he heard low grOwl- ing in the hole. Then the animal" came out. "It" jumped up five feet In the air. Fathers animal was mud geyser. and 1t covered him from head to feet with yellow mud. The man. when he reached father, pointed SmilIngly to a sign which read: "Gey- ser No. 127. Spurts every 35 min- utes" We have never ceased to tease father about his animal.-ChicagO Tribune.

 All this was possible enough, yet it was evident that the woman accepted the explanation as satisfactory.

"MIss CONRAD"

synopsis.-In a New York jewelry store Philip Severn, United States consular agent, notices a small box which attracts him. He purchases 1t. Later he discovers in 6 secret compartment a writing giving a clew to a revolutionary movement in this country seeking to overthrow the Chilean government. The writ Ing mentions a rendezvous, and Severn decides to investigate. Find ing the place mentioned in the writ Ing apparently deserted, Severn visits a saloon in the vicinity. A woman fin the place is met by a man, seemingly by appointment. and Severn. his suspicious aroused, follows them. They go to the des- lgnated meeting place, an aban. ooned iron foundry. At the rem oezvous Severn Is accepted as one or the cOnspirators and admitted. He meets 9 stranger who addresses him as Harry Daly. The incident plays into SeverD's hands and he accepts it.

Once .Famous for Embroidery.

St. Gall, Switzerland, is the noted embroidery seat of modern days, nd one of the most influential centers of Christian civilization in central Eu- rope. The city owes it's foundation to rhe Irish apostle Gallus. who in the year 614 founded a hermitage near the brook Steinach. In the resulting monastery of St. Gall the strict rules of the Irish church were enforced until 72O, when those of St. Benedict were substituted by an abbot, Othmar. In 1O61 the Abbot NOrpert of St. Gall erected a convent on the Sitter river, the place taking the name of Abbatis CeIla-Apenzell, and the abbOts of St. Gall became the dominating influence of the land until the subsequently much impressed mOuntaIneers resOrted to force and succeeded in shaking OR their yoke.

Did the woman know mel or suspect the reason of my presence1 That was manifestly impossible. She was utterly strange to me, and she was not one to be easily forgotten. Why, then, did she trust me-if 1t was trust?
 It must be either that, or treachery of the fOulest type.
