CHINAMAN WAS TOO CUTE
Suspicious of Wedding Cake Sent Him
by Englishman Who Owed
Him Money.
An Englishman who was appointed
to an important post In China got mar
ried soon after. Among tho recipients
of the usual little card boxes contain
ing a nleco Of Weddlnsr enka wnn a
f Chinese merchant with whom tho
'bridegroom had an outstanding nc-
" count for goods supplied.
( first persons the newly bedded hus
ilband metrwas his Celestial creditor.
"And how;'dta you like tho cake?"
said the Englishman, laughing, after
tho usual congratulations.
"Ah, ah," returned the Chinaman,
with a cunning leer, "me no such big
fool to eat him, sab. Me put cakee In
fire. Burn him up. He, he I"
"Ob. that's too bod." said the En.
I llshman, very much hurt. "You might
nave lastea it, at least, out or com
pllment to my wife and myself. Why
didn't you?"
, "Me too clute, sab," said the Celes
tial, with the same winning smile.
"You owe me monce, sah; sendee poi
son cakee; I eat him; I die; you no
payee up. Houp-la! He, he, he I I
know you Ingleeshl"
Testing Coin.
"There ffoes another man uffarlnr
from degeneration of public manners,"
aid tne clerk in an aggrieved tone. "I
gave him five pieces or sliver-in mak
ing change, and he tested every one
of them to seo If It was counterfeit
right before my eyes. It Is only late
ly that people who buy have got rude
enough to do that. Clerks always did
It with coin that customers gave them,
but that was a nrnrnirntlvA nf tho
'trade. For tho customer to assume tbe
same privilege Is a usurpation of an
cient rights. The worst of It Ib most
people nowadays are pretty good
Judges of bad money, and every little
while a coin Is refused because It Is
counterfeit. Tho only way tradesmen
can teach customers the respect due
them Is to turn their own backs when
testing money. That has always been
the custom In England. No tradesman
over there would dare fillip a coin un
der a customer's nose, and as a con
sequence no customed has ever takes
mat liberty with him."
ruce and tha Spider. '
Apparently the little fireside story
about Bruce and the spider Is In tha
category of fables. So eminent an au
thority as Sir Herbert Maxwell says In
"Robert the Druce:"
"What Is the evidence to be found
In support of It? Not In the wrlMnim
of Barbour, Pordun or Wyntoun, those
most nearly contemporary with Bruce
and least likely to suppress a circum
stance so picturesque and illustrating
so aptly the perseverance nnd pa
tlenco of tho national hero under des
perate difficulties.
"No; nothing Is heard of this adven
ture till long after Bruce and his
comrades had passed away, and then
It makes Its nppcaranco In company
With Buch trash as tho miraculous ap
pearance of the arm bone or St. Fll
Ian on the eve of Bannockburn, ond
worthy of Just about as much consid
eration." So goes another of tha venerated
legends of childhood.

AMERICAN BOY IS SPOILED
However, He Is Nearly Always Amus
ing, Even When He la Most
Exasperating.
"Tho great American boy," sold tho
West Side woman, "Is no bndly spoil
ed that about half tho time ho Is an
offenso Instead of tho Joy ho might
be, but he Is so thoroughly 'on' that
he nearly always Ib amusing, even
when m'orit exasperating. It Is need
ful when denllng with him, or even
when meeting him casually, to be
either ridicule-proof or elso to have
a sense of humor that enables you to
enjoy a laugh iit your' 'bwrf expense.
A few days ago I1 'found It necessary
to take a taxi nt a quiet street cor
ner. A few boys gathered Instantly,
to supervise the proceeding. As tho
chauffeur closed tho door1 and pre
pared to mount his seat ono or tho
boys called to him In the most Inde
scribable tone of languid hnteur-'-ln-tended
to represent a lady doing tho
top limit of tho society act 'Home,
John.' The chauffeur grinned, though
he looked somewhat alarmed lest his
fare might be annoyed. I was glad I
could share his appreciation,' but I
took palnB not to let the boys see me
smile. I should think actors might
learn' Innumerable things by studying
street urchins." "' v
"One Sunday not Ions aeo." natd tha
man to whom she was talking, "I
wae on my way td church and was
walking along upper Seventh avenue
with a lady of my acquaintance. I
wore a silk hat and the usual clothes
for such an occasion. I was talking
earnestly with my companion, not
noticing my surroundings. Suddenly
a small boy, who was sitting on a tiny
cart and pushing It along with one
foot, darted right between my feet
nnd attempted to force a pnsangoway
to tho beyond, I nearly was over
turned, was forced to execute somo of
tho most Instantaneous and Inelegant
gymnastics of my life nnd regained
my balance only with oxtremo diffi
culty. Tho Bcrap of humanity, who
was causing my distress, glared up nt
mo wrothfully and yelled, 'Hey. you
guy wld do Bilk hat on, why don't yer
look w'ur yer goln'?'"
Rye, Barley and Oats.
Rye Is the grain of-poor countries,
and Europe consumes more than nine
tenths of tbe world's supply. Rb cul
ture is stationary In the Northwest
and west of Europe, and In tbe south
west of France is diminishing. But It
Is gaining somewhat In Russia, Japan,
.Tunis and more than all In thla coun
try. But still the United States pro
duces less than 2 per cent of the
'world's supply.
The culture of barley, on the con-
trnry, Ib gaining almost everywhere.
At tho same time the yield per acre
has Increased eo thnt tho totnl produc
tion Is a third moro than 40 years
,ngo.
Tho production hns almost doubled
In Austria-Hungary, more than dou
bled In Tuntn, Australia and Japan,
tripled In this country and quadrupled
Jn Canada.
There Is also a constant Increase In
tho world's production of oats. The
acreage has Increased 43 cr cent,
since 1871 nnd the yield has Increased
73 per cent. Tho United States, Rus
sia, Germany ond Franco lead In pro
duction, in the order named.
FOUR CHERISHED ADAGES ARC
OALLED MERE JOKES.
Pesslmlstlo Writer Undertakes ts
Show That These Oft-Quoted Ex
pressions Concerning Tender
Passion Are Only Nonsense.
In regard to love we bear expres
sions like these:
"Lore rules all."
"All the world loves a lover."
"A maid should obey the dictates of
heart."
"Love laughs at locksmiths."
And others too numerous to- men
tion. Perhaps the first one is the best
Joke of the lot. Love rules all I That
Is ono of the funniest things you ever
heard! Somo even go so far as t
think children can bo ruled by love.
It has been seen In practice. This Is.
tho way It works:
"Como, now Johnnie. Como, dear."
Not a biulgo from Johnnie.
"Como on, darling. iMamma wnnta
you to como now, Bwcotheart. Como
on." Nothing stirring.
"Johnuto imint como now. Johnnie be
a good boy. Mamma will glvo Johnnie
a cookey tomorrow."
"Donwnnto."
"Oh, yes, you must cornel It Is get
ting Into now. Come on, dear."
Johnnlo doesn't
"Como on, now, Johnnie. You must
come. Mamma's tired of waiting..
Mamma spank!"
Johnnie still unconvinced.
Whack! Whack! Whack!
Johnnie comes.
"All the world loves a lover!" An
other Joke.
What do wo love about hltnt Per
haps the florist and easily man love
him, and that's about the extent of It..
In tho olden days when the lover did
a great deal of sighing and desperate
hair pulling and provided entertain
ment for the neighbors by eloplnr
with the girl once In' a while. nnrln,
felt mildly grateful for the show. But
u nnraiy amountB to love. And cer
tainly his sercnadlna- beneath hr ln-
tlco wob moro likely to bring brickbats
urnii demonstrations of affection.
"A maid should obey the dictates ot
her heart," Is rather good.
Somo peoplo evidently adhere to thev
belief that "thero Is a heart that
heaven hns mado for theo," or tlwy
have faith In tho text of some humor
ous ballad.
But, as moBt of us know, when a fel
low hns spcclnl talents la. tho love
making lino, nnd thno and Inclination
to perfect his tnlcntB, bo can make any
girl think ho Is tho one to furnish the
heart that "heaven has made for
thee;" whereaB, men who have neither
time nor talent nor Inclination In that
direction, must go unloved and. unsung,
and the latter kind nf man on,,1i ...

Sometimes the young woman must
choose between a college professor
and a saloon keeper. Ono can give
her social position and car fare; the
othor an electric brougham and a pint.
piumea Donnei. it Is hard to decide
In such a case. The dictates of her
heart are led In, one direction by the
ostrich plumeB, and In the other by
the proBpect of having a hat off and at.
home expression at a college com
mencementa very great thing, In
deed, and a thing to create heart long
ing. "Love laughs ,at locksmiths!" An.
ancient Joko!
Girls do not elope by ladder any
more. If they did the father would,
probably furnish the ladder.
To the Point.
E. R. Smith, formerly schoolboolc
man and now a farmer and fruit grow
er, tell b a story of a boy 'a essay, writ
ten In a few seconds on the subject or
suddenly coming Into ' possession of
wealth.
"Tho teacher Instructed her pupils
to wrlto nn essay on 'What Would I Do
If I Suddenly Became Possessed or
$10,000?'" relates Mr. Smith, "and she
warned them that their work was to
bo seriously considered. Papers and
pens were passed, and It wob only a
few seconds until ono boy began to
squirm In his Bent, appeared to bo in
a hurry and Buddenly announced ho
had finished.
"'You're through already?' thev
teacher asked.
" 'Yes, I'm through.'
'"Remember, now, I'm going to
mark your essay very closely. It
doesn't seem like you could finish such,
a subject so quickly.'
"'Go ahead; I'm ready,' the bor
said.
"Tho teacher opened the folded pa
per and read:
"What would I do If I suddenly be
came possessed of $10,000?'
'"Not a darned thing!'" Reboboth.

California bos the parole system!
but it has also, unluckily, its fair
share of convicts who can not . be

posed to have a chain gang help In1,

two-mllo highway which la to be con
structed from Sacramento through?

placed 100 feet apart, and varieties;
will alternate, one kind running for

It Is expected that as an attraction
