A Chinese
Umbrella
By REGINALD D. HAVEN
I was dining the other day with my
friend Aluu Bonbright Mrs. Bon
bright is the daughter of a missionary
irhoso field was In China, and she had
spent most of her girlhood there. Her
husband bud been to China on busi
ness, met her there nnd brought her
home with him as his wife.
Mrs. Bonbright n girl at this time,
was with her father at his mis
sionary stutlon In the province of
Shantung. After dinner I was taken
to a room where a collection of souve
nirs of the flowery Kingdom was
kept Among them was tin umbrella
mado of bamboo wood and paper, cov
ered with tbo customary pictures of
men and women, birds and flowers.
Across It when expanded wero Chlneso
characters which, of course, 1 could
not read. Bonbright directed my at
tention to the umbrella, and Mrs. Bon-
bright Biild, "If you're going' " to" Tell
that story I'll go elsewhere." She weut
out with a look Indicating that 1 was
about to hear something unpleasant
"You know," said Bonbright "that
China Is full of persons who lire by
highway robbery. They cut off their
heads whenever they capture them,
but this doesn't seem to deter others,
for life is cheap there nnd only the bet
ter cIiisscb care much about their own
or others' terrestrial existence. Well,
one day 1 was traveling on horseback
through the province of Shantung. I
had no mind to be set upon by the
highwaymen and had armed myself.
There Is not much fight in even the
robbers In China unless they have ev
ery advantage, aud I didn't feel in
much danger so long as I could defend
myself.
"I was not attacked myself; but, hear
ing a shouting ahead of me, I pressed
forward and found a Chinaman In
the dress of a mandarin being set upon
by a gang of robbers. 1 fired shots at
them, and they left their prey in a
sorry plight aud took to their heels.
I picked him up and set him to lights.
I had come up Just In time to save
his pockctbook, aud bo offered me a
portion of its contents as a reward.
This, of course, I declined, whereupon
no laiicea uis iuuuks-so i supposed,
for I did not understand a word he
said. Just before I left him he took
a writing stick and wrote those char
acters you see there on the umbrella
and gave It to me. There was nothing
to do but accept It and as the day was
hot I used It
"Every Chinaman I met looked at
the umbrella, then at me, and their
Indifference was at once turned to
reverence. Some of them stopped and
salaamed as I passed. 1 wondered if
they mistook me for the governor of
a province or an executioner. Singular
ly enough, I didn't catch on to the fact
that it was the umbrella that was
drawing forth such respect
"I stopped tbnt night at the mis
sionary station presided over by my
wife's father aud found them In great
trouble. They hud got wind through
some of the Christian natives, servants
and others attached to the mission of
tho Boxer movement that was about
to break forth. My wife was then a
girl of nineteen and the oldest of a
family of seven. Tbo converts were In
a terrible stnto of fear, which natural
ly communicated Itself to the white
family.
"Drowning persons will cling to a
straw, and this family cluug to inn
True, 1 was only one man. but I was
wen armea, nnd even omy man mign
be of some protection. I suppose I
would have remained anyway, but I
could uot leave the girl who struck my
fancy. When she looked appeallngly
at mo with those blue eyes of hers I
could uot resist and said 1 would re
muin with them till the trouble was
over
"Remembering how easily I had put
to flight the robbers. 1 really thought
that with my two revolvers and some
fifty cartridges 1 would bo a protec
tion, but when 1 heard the shrieks of
the Christian converts as the crowd ap
proached the mission house I didn't
like the prospect The yells of the
brutes who were murdering them were
equully appalling. What could I do
against an Infuriated mob?
"However. I stationed myself nl an
upper window, laying my ammunition
and extra pistols beside tno. I called
upon Fthel to stay beside me and load
them for mo as fast as I tired, and she
nerved herself to do so. I put my head
out and. seeing the mob eomlng reek
ing will) blood, my heart sunk. Wish
ing something to conceal me from
them, I took up the umbrella tho man
darin had given me. opened It. fixed it
before me at the window aud poked
holes through It so that I could see
vhura n fin
"The mob had broken Into the next
house und killed every one there, then
was ready to storm the mission. Al
ready an ax had fallen on the door be
low me when 1 saw a man look at my
umbrella and become much excited.
He ran forward, then back with the
man who wielded the ax. A knot of
rioters gathered, nil looking at the um
brella. Not another blow was struck.
I did not need to fire a single shot
The mob seemed disappointed, but pass
ed on.
"As soon as it had gone 1 withdrew
the umbrella. Ethel, who could read
Chinese as well as English, clasped her
hands, raised ber eyes to heaven and
gave thanks. Then she Interpreted the
characters to me. It was an order from
the greatest mandarin In the province
to "respect this man and all that be
longs to him."
SEX TALKS IN CLASSROOMS.
Chicago to Begin Hygiene Course In
High Sohooli Next Fall.
As a result of plans formulated by
the board of education of Chicago sex
hygiene will be one of the courses of
instruction In the hlh school of that
city next year. This announcement
was made a sTiorl Time ago Tjiy""Mrs
Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of
schools, who will engage prominent
physicians to give a course of lectures,
beginning next September, on all sub
jects pertaining to sex. The resolution
empowering Mrs. Young to net did not
state specifically the exact methods of
instruction to be given. The question
of Instruction for elementary schools
also was raised, but was decided to be
Inadvisable.
"The elementary schools ueed it,"
said Mrs. Young, "but I do not believe
that the time Is due when we should
take up that phase of the question. 1
do not believe In sex hygiene so much
as I believe In personal purity. All
the children In the high schools should
be taught matters of this kind. Sci
entific instruction Is en important fac
tor, and it will pay us to have the best
Instructors obtainable."
