GETS THE CHINAMAN'S HEART
White Man Who Can Talk to Him in
Language of the East Welcomed
as a Friend.
"A white men with a knowledge
of the Chinese language and the love
of man in his ho.;rtr can do some
pretty effective m'.'sionnrv work by
conversing in his own language with
any stray Chinaman lie happens to
meet," said the superintendent of a
mission. "If I could t?iIk Chinese I
think I would give up this job and
do nothing but stroll around the
streets striking up chance conversations
with Chinamen. There is a
retired merchant who rides that
hobby. He was stationed at Chinese
trading posts for years and speaks
the language fluently. "Whenever
he comes to a laundry he drops in
and jollies the man at the ironing
board.
"Nobody but a Chinaman can tell
what they are talking about, but
after the first word or two the laundrymnn
looks almost human. Inscrutable
the Chinaman always is,
but his inscrutability is relieved then
by a certain fluidity of manner. He
smiles, nods and sometimes laughs
out loud. There are men of his own
race to talk to, but a white man who
can speak his language is a special
godsend in this dreary land. lie follows
the merchant to the door.
" 'Niece man/ ho says. 'Yelly
niece num.'"
JUST WHY HE HAD TO GO
Many Seemingly Important Reasons,
but the Last One Given Settled
the Whole Matter.
"Yes, T really must go tomorrow."
"You can just, as well stay till
Monday."
"Hut the folks are expecting me."
"Telegraph them that you're going
to stay."
"I'm sorrv, but if I stay I'm liable
to lose $1,000 on that deal I told
you of." *
"Oh, pshaw, the deal can wait a
few days."
"My manager has written me that
my business needs my attention."
"Yes, but he is only afraid to assume
a little responsibility. The
business will bo all right."
"There is an important mooting
of the directors that I reallv must
attend.'*
"Oh, they'll get along nil right
without you."
"You know how much I'd like to
stay, but the fact is mv railroad
ticket runs out tomorrow."
"Well, in that ease 1 suppose you
will hove to go. lie sure and come
up to see us again in a month or
two."-*-Puck.
8TILL CATCHING.
"What's become of Rill Jenkins,
who used to catch on our school
team ?"
"Oh, he's still catching."
"Become a professional, ehP"
"No. Sec that iron building going
up yonder? Rill's there; he's
catching white-hot rivets in a keg."
REASONABLE SUPPOSITION.
"Do you suppose that policeman in
getting graft from anybody?"
"No, I think lie's a perfectly honest
policeman."
"Why?"
"I understand thnf Lna
<? <?n Wtii
on the force only two da vs."
I i
REFLECTING ON SOLOMON.
The sluggard had gone to the ant
and wns considering her ways.
"I'm wise to you, all right," he
said; "you're industrious enough,
but you're a blamed lit lie nuisance,
and I can prove it l?v every housekeeper
in the country."
EVEN WITH LIVING HIGH.
"I get $10,000 a year, and save
a quarter of it."
"If I got that salary I think I
Could save as much as 50 cents."
THE LIMIT.
"ITow are men down at. Lethargy
beach, Mabel? Scarce, I hear?"
"So scarce that flrace is learning
lo swim out of a magazine."
FELINE TA8TE9.
"My husband's chief pet is a little
bitty he talks about at his club."
"Mine prefers a blind fcicrer #nm?.
fcrhere down the street." i
A 8HARP ONE.
"Well, my dear, any cutting remarks
to make today?"
"Yea, indeed I The baby's got another
tooth,"

MORTALITY IN WAR.
War, called by the great Erasmus,
I "the malady of princes," has had so
! many victims we will never bo able
to reckon them up. However, it is
computed that up to the middle of
the nineteenth century no less than
6,860,000,000 men perished on the
field of battle. In all probability
the estimate is under, rather than
over, the mark. You may he correct
in thinking that "wars are practically
over" among civilized people, but
from the present-day armaments of
the so-called civilized peoples it
would look as though those in authority
had not yet gotten o\or the
fear of the old terror.
