FARMERS' LINE DEPARTMENT
IS SHREWD BUSINESS WOMAN
Mrs. Frank Hing of Nsw York Has
Been Sgcc???ful In Aooumulat*
Ing American Dollar*
Waiting on customers with an Ori
ental charm and politeness that dally
wins new patrons to ber laundry In
Hleeknr street, Mrs. Frank Hing.
daughter of the Flowery Kingdom, is
rapidly accumulating American dol
lars that are estimated already to
reach into the thousand*.
Mrs. Hing, who is a fine specimen of
the Chinese matron of middle age, Is#
militant suffragist of the most pro
nounced type; Hhe is an advocate of
"votes for women," and points with
pride to the action of the new Chi
nese assembly in granting suffrage to
her sisters in China.
The first Chinese business woman
111 N?<w York city, and probably in thiH
country, came to the United States
only two years ago. Quickly acquired a
| speaking knowledge of the EpgltBh
language, and by reason of her Ape
aptitude for business was speedily el<
evatcd by her husband to take full
oharge of the laundry.
Mrs. Hing receives the laundry pack
ages. gives out the checks, receives
the money, pays the bills, and her hus
band stands over the washtub and
cooks the meals in a rear room, as
sisted by 'an 18-year-old son.
Soon after Mrs. Hing assumed
charge of the business she began to
buy and sell second-hand clothing.
All day long, and even into the late
hours of the night, men who are in
I: trouble financially can be seen enter
ing the laundry to part with wearing
apparel in order to raise money to eat
and to pay for a night's lodging.
Many of these come from the large
men's hotel across the street. In all
such transactions Mrs. Hing takes ad
vantage of their plight with Chinese
cunning and gets for a trifling cost
garments that are renovated and aft
erward sold at a big profit. ? New York

SMALL LESSON IN ETIQUETTE
Probably Mickey 8hea Stretched the
Truth, but the Lssson Must
Have Been Driven Home.
Before Mickey Shea got into Tam
many politics in New York he was a
newsboy in Toledo. Then he became
a page in the United States senate.
Then hq came to New York and bo
gan to get rich. Tnat sort of an edu
cation quickens one's wits and sharp
ens any native ability one may own
for a sort of physical repartee.
"Mickey landed in Atlantic City
one hot night last summer," said, a
friend. "The only room he could find
in the resort was a double-bedded one
?and another man had already .?con
tracted for the other bed. In the
morning Mr. Shea rolled over with a
sleepy grunt, wakened slowly, and
then peered in horrer into the mirror,
He beheld his roommate sharpening
a set of yellow teeth;wtth Mr. Bhea'g
ownToothbrush.
" 'Fine morning, shipmate,' said the
offender, when Mr. Shea finally
climbed out of bed.
"'True foi? you,' said Mr. Shea
heartily. He proceeded slowly with
his toilet. By and by he began to
look around the room. / ;
? ,iXSee anything of a }. toothbrush
around here?' he asked.
'"Why, yes/ said the other. 'Here
Is one on the mantel.'
"'O,' said Shea. 'That isn't my
toothbrush. I use that to put flea
powder on my dog.'." ? Cincinnati'

Finesse.
Senator Cummins, discussing a cam
palgn victory, aald with a smile:
"It was won by finesse. The finest*
displayed In It reminds me of a Con
cord banquet,
"'Why 1b it. that you fellows art
omitting wine from your banquet thlt
year?" one Concord man asked anoth
er.
"'So as to make sure of the pres
ence of the A1 after dinner speakers
of the country,' was the reply. 'Wt
have invited them, and they won't
dare to stay away.'
"'Why not?' ;
-?Vaster- the reasott. that If they die
.people would say It was because there
was no wine, you. know.'"
.. Flies in New Houses Explained.
"Moving Into an apartment that had
never before been occupied," said a
flatj-dweller, "we were struck unpleas
antly by the number of flies we found
| there and for their presence- we were
quite unable to account.
"It was some relief to us to be told
by a friend that there are always lots
of flies in new houses; that they are
dratfn by the paste used In the pair
ing. and while the work Is going they
have free ingress; and then when the
house Is finished It is likely to be
closed up and the flies left there to
be found when the first tenant moves
in."

8ure Hard Luok.
A man once was talking about hard
' luok, and his friend was listening with
& sour expression. ' "Why, you don't
know what hard luck is!" said the
friend. =$ hare always had it. When
I was a kid there was such a bunch
of kids in the family that there had
to be three tables at meal times, and
