Suuwfcjus gcpartmrnt The Donkeys Are Coming, Aha 1 Aha! 1?The missionary whom the World Outlook calls Miss Smithers was a woman of observation and ingenuity: let us hope that her experiences In * - ?L *V?A trolllA nf Tientsin laugm net aiou me caution in dealing with a strange people and a strange language. During her few months in north China Miss Smithers went about a great deal, used her eyes and ears, absorbed much by general observation, and often returned home with new and idiomatic phrases at her command. On several outings she noticed that the man who drove her donkey cart invariably cleared a path through the congested street by shouting: "L.U lai la! Lu lai la!" "Ah. this is a good and useful mandatory phrase!" said liliss Smithers, and she lost no time in committing it to memory. She found no occasion to use the expression, however, until a week later, when she was convoying a band of forty demure mission-school girls across the city. They were marching two by two, making a slow and difficult progress along the crowded city thoroughfare, when suddenly a bright idea struck Miss Smithers. Stopping short at the head or ner U1U3U1US charges, she lifted her hand for attention and shouted loudly: "Lu lai la! Lu lai la!" To her astonishment, the crowd did not give way; instead, it gathered closer and laughed rudely, uproariously. But Miss Smithers was of Revolutionary stock; she had the courage of her convictions, and agafi she lifted her hand and shouted at the top of her voice, "Lu lai la! Lu lai la!" Again the motley throng howled in derision, and at the same time a young girl near her, who could speak a little English, clutched her by the sleeve. "O Miss Teacher?Miss Honorable Teacher?what is it you would say?" The questioner's face was scarlet. Miss Smithers answered with perturbed but profound dignity: "I am saying. "Clear the path! Make way there!" "Oh, no, honorable Miss Teacher, your meaning may be that," the young school girl said almost reprovingly. "Yes, such may be the meaning, dui the words that our honorable teachei continually shouts are, 'The donkeys are coming! The donkeys are coming!' Please, honorable Miss Teacher, think of us, your humble but full-offeeling school girls!" A Startling Discovery.?There is reason to believe that there may be petroleum in the English hill country, and Lord Cowdray, the great British oil magnate, is beginning to bore for oil at various places in Derbyshire. While engaged in experimental boring some time ago his agent sent him in a bottle a sample of the first crude petroleum struck. Lord Cowdray was in a hurry to go out when it arrived, and gave it to one of his men to deliver the analyst with a note. The servant also was in a hurry. He set cut to visit his wife, and took the letter with him. Later in the evening he saw what he thought was the bottle on the sideboard, and with a guilty conscience hurried out to deliver it. In the morning Lord Cowdray received the following telegram: "Yours is the first find of the century. You've struck paregoric." Record Phone Service.?The editor of The Japan Times says the telephone , service in Japan is utterly bad. He wonders "what Job would have done had he lived in Tokyo' and wanted to telephone to the specialist on boils." He concludes with the following incident: "A lady in Karuiwaza called up her house in Tokyo, left by the next train, got the call, and talked to herself in Karuiwaza six hours after she arrived in Tokyo."?San Francisco Argonaut. kiink*,- Hone.?The son of the family was home en his first vacation since he had attained to the dignity of college prefect. He and his father were discussing the affairs of the day, and finally the boy remarked. "Yes, gov, I hope when I am as old as you are I'll know more than you do.' , "I'll go you one better, my boy," the father replied. "I hope that when you are that old you will know as much as you think you do now."?Exchange. Willing to Oblige.?A woman who was troubled with chronic nightmare and who frequently cried out in her s|eep, advertised for a room and board "with a family who would not object to screaming in the night." Among the answers she received was one which asked, "Hew often would you require us to scream?"?Boston Transcript. i ? A Hint to Douse the Glim or Go.? "That young man stayed very late again, Edith." "Yes, papa; I was showing him my picture post-cards." "Well, the next time he wants to stay late, you show him some of my electric-light bills."?Boston Transcript. Another Editor in Bad.?According to the Wichita Eagle, an editor in a near-by town has moved his press over against the door and is having his meals sent in at the window since he let this get by in a society item: "Mrs. Catt's popularity is evidenced by her mangy friends in this vicinity." Not Worth So Much.?"They say that old Pscadds doesn't know how much he is really worth." "That's right. If he did he wouldn't give himself so many airs on account of the money he happens to possess." ?Boston Transcript. Oustide Thinkers.?"There are two sides to every question." "Vo? * rAniipd Senator Sorghum. And too many of us chaps who pose as powerful thinkers don't take the trouble to get to the inside."?Washington Star. There Was a Reason.?"Darling, 1 cooked dinner for you all myself, and you've never said a word about it." "I would have, dearest, but somehow I hate to be always complaining." ? London Tit-Bits. Considerate Customer.?"Sir, this is a golden opportunity! Small investment, no risk, and enormous returns absolutely sure." "Then I wouldn't have the heart to deprive you of it."?Life.
