SHOOTING STARS.

The Millionaire.

The Millionaire.
In the days of the dear long ago,
If a man had ten thousand in cash
We would say, ITO a fortune twill
grow,
Unless he does something RASH
But now when we find an estate
With hundred times that, saved
with care,
On sympathy great we sigh, What
: a fate,
He was only a poor millionaire.
He couldn't own railroads and towns
Nor galleries laden with art.
He couldn't buy oil fields and crowns
His cash wouldn't give him a start
He passed all unnoted by fame.
For never enough could he spare
A white chip to claim in a gentle
mans game.
He was only poor millionaire"

Differences of dialect are so great
in China that the Pekingese. speak
ing the language of north China, is
often unintelligible to the Cantonese
from the south. The dialect of the
north, or mandarin. is the official
language of the republic as 1t was of
the empire. but millions of southern
Chinese have no knowledge of 1t. A
Peking servant and a Canton serv-
ant, coming face to face, usually
find the simplest means Of communi-
cation to be the pidgin English which
each has picked up from his foreign
employer Pidgin English consists
merely of English words strung to-
gether according to the rules. or lack

pronunciation of the English word

is business matters that bring Chinese
and foreigner together.
English is probably more widely
spread in Japan than in China, GER
tainly 30 IL the interior provinces Of
China are taken into consideration.
On the other hand. the Japanese is
an exceedingly poor linguist. and the
manner in which he butchers the
pronunciation of English words Is
often tragic. The Chinese is an eX-
cellent linguist, fully as good as the
Russian, and with but short training
speaks English huently and intelli-
gibly,
