Chinese Women Advance.

About the only thing of modern
times to which China has not laid
claim as being so old in that country
that it was outworn and discarded CEN
turtles ago, Is the new woman with a
magazine of her very own, published
in the interest of her development.
This publication, called the New
Woman, boldly states as its object the
reform of the old society to give more
honorable place to women and the
new woman is described as "a joyous
being, of honest occupation, complete
personality, free, Independent and
mutually helpful" says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch.

NOT A MATTER FOR POLICE
Elderly Gentleman Meant Well, but
He Had Not Allowed for Pos
sible Contingencies.

The wisest person may sometimes
make a serious mistake by judging
entirely by appearance, as Is shown
by this case.
A careless young woman, in starting
to leave a car, dropped her purse. A
young man, who evidently intended to
leave the car at the same time, saw
her drop the purse, picked 1t up and
put 1t into his pocket.
But his action had not been unno-
ticed. Just as he stepped from the
car an elderly man gripped him by the
arm and whispered: "If you don't give
that purse to the young lady this In
slant I'll expose you"
Eyes, certainly" gasped the aston
ished young man. Then, with a grin,
II beg pardon, Marie; you dropped
your purse
"Oh, thank you, Harry" she replied,
as she took it.

~, turning to the elderly man. 1.-THE

MAY REMODEL UNION JACK
pre Likely to Bring Change
in Famous Flag.

Among the lesser and more senti-
mental sacrifices the British feel they
are making for Irish peace, there is
the prospect of the changed Union
Jack.
The diagonal red cross in the Union
Jack stands for Ireland. The original
national flag was the banner of st.
George, a plain red cross on a white
background. In 1906 the Scottish flag.
a white diagonal cross and blue
background, was blended with the
English cross and placed over the
white upright cross, with blue
background Of the diagonal white cross
being added.
On the death of Charles l the cross
of st. George again became the ma
tional flag, but in 1706, after the
union with Scotland, the cross stand
ard with the blue background was
restored. In 1901 the red cross Of st.
Patrick was super-imposed on st. An
drew's cross, making the present
Union Jack.

MARK TWAIN in WASHINGTON
Good Stories Concerning soIourn Of
the Famous HumorlSt at Capital
Are Current Still.

When Mark Twain lived in Wash.
ington the streets in the national cap
ltal were In such a condition that an
intoxicated philosopher aptly described
them by saying: when it's dry
you can't see where you are going,
and when it's wet you can't GO"
Mark Twain rNharked that the win
ter visitor would probably wonder, II
there happened to be thaw when he
came to town, why the city fathers
were so shortsighted as not to dilute
the mud a little more and use the
streets for canals.
Another story told about Mark
Twain during his stay there which Is
probably better known, had its be-
ginning when the humorist called to
see Grover Cleveland ut the White
House. The President and Mrs. Cleve-
land had Invited Mark Twain and his
wife to dine with them, and the latter
was III and unable to go. Mark Twain
went alone, apologized for the ab-
sence Of Mrs. Clemens, solemnly
handed Mrs. Cleveland paper, and
asked her to sign It. IN surprise she
inquired what It was and why she
should sign It. Mark Twain turned
the paper over and showed her line
in Mrs. Clemens handwriting; "Don't
wear your arctlcs to the White House"
Mrs. Cleveland wrote underneath the
line: "He didn't"
While In Washington Mark Twain,
who for nearly two years was
newspaper correspondent, having sat
in the press galleries Of the SENATE
and the house. wrote two humorous
articles: "a Late Senatorial Secretary
ship" and Facts Concerning Recent
Resignation" Both OF these articles
were written about his own expert
ences, as he had been private secre-
tary to Senator Stewart Of Nevada, but
not finding his duties congenial he re-
signed.
