THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, MARCH 11', 1901. WORLD-TRIPONBIKE German GIobe-Trotter on the Way to the Orient, USES THE RAILROAD TRACKS Says He "VVIII "Write a Book on Ihe Hospitality of Nation He Visits Xcver' Drinks "Water "When He Can Get Beer. Max Schifller, of Coeslln, Germany, Is the latest penniless globe-trotter to strike Po'rtland. He rides an 'American-made bi cycle, which has been fitted -with an at tachment to enable It to run on railroad tracks. With this he says he can easily make 15 miles an hour, when the grade is not too steep. The attachment was presented to him by the Mayor of Sioux Cityb la. It makes his bicycle look like the ordinary tricycle of the railroad track walker. A small wheel follows the right hand rail to keep Max safe on the oppo site one. Schifller Is as greatly roadworn as his wheel He Is dressed In a eult of coarse cloth, with buff legglns and a little cloth cap. His trip from Germany has done away with all superfluous flesh, so he looks thin, as wel as swarthy. The front tire of his bicycle, which was flat from a puncture, is bandaged, and the enamel "long since disappeared from the frame. The bike does not look as If It would take him to San Francisco, let alone through Japan, China .the Philippines, British In dia, Persia, Turkey and Russia, as he has mapped out. Schifller says he left his native town In Germany in March, 1E9S, and passed through Austria, Italy and Spain, board ing a "North German Lloyd steamer at Gi braltar for New York. The trip Is the re sult of a contract with a countryman, who will help him publish a book on his travels when he returns home, which he hopes to do towards the end of 1902. "My purpose in traveling In this man ner," Max said yesterday. In very good English, "Is to test the hospitality of the nations through which I travel. I am not to handle money In any way, and al though I refuse charity, I always accept hospitality. I fared very well in Europe, and found the peasantry very kind, par ticularly In Austria and Spain. I fare tetter where the population is dense, and have hard times on the frontier, where habitations are far apart. Among the Indians I do very well, though at flrst they distrust and fear me. In passing through the Flathead reservation, in Mon tana, I encountered a big war dance and desired to take a flashlight picture of It. I made my wishes known to the chief of the tribe, but the savages would not lis ten to the idea. I then determined to stay with them a few days and get better ac quainted. I was permitted to use the war paint and adorn my head with feath ers. They then allowed me to dance with their maidens, and, in fact, become one of the Indians. I was soon enabled to take a flashlight picture, which I prize very highly. "In all my travels, the hardest time I had getting through a place was down at Scappoose. In Oregon. The section boss there determined that I should not use the Northern Pacific track, and watched me very closely for two days, to prevent me from placing the bicycle on the rails. He had two men to assist him, and I became desperate, but finally I eluded them and made haste to Portland. I always ask permission of the railway superintendents before starting out over any road, and have thus far found them very obliging. Of course, I sign an agreement waiving all claims for damages in case I am run down by a train or a hand-car. I have had many close calls around sharp curves, but the fact that I am here alive and well shows that I have escaped all right thus far." The wheelman's belongings make a small bundle. They consist of a photo graphic outfit and a package of papers containing notices of his arrival in the various cities and towns. He usually ob tains the signature and seal of some high official, such as the Governor or the Mayor, to prove to his partner the date of his visit to the points along his route. Governor Roger's signature Is the last of note he has obtained. This was at Olym pla. Wash. Schifller says he often goes three or four days without eating, as he scorns to ask for anything, and expects to live as a guest rather than as a pauper on his travels. "In the cities the police sta tion is always open to me," he said, "but have so far been able to get along with out seeking shelter there. I never drink water when I can get beer. This is no joke. Constant changing of water as I travel would soon make me very sick, as I would be compelled to partake of IS kinds .of water every day. In Montana the alkali water came near killing me. If I stay in one place for any length of time, 1 drink water, but I never refuse should any one ask me to take a glass of beer." Max will stay In Portland for a few days' rest before talcing the Southern Pa cific track to San Francisco. Considerations About China. Rev. Roland Allen In the Cornhill. I-remembtr two years ago, when the Xegations called for guards and the city was disturbed", a wild story going about that the Empress was resolved, to invite the foreign Ministers to an audience, have them aU slaughtered before her, let loose the troops upon the foreigners in the .city and to commit suicide. I asked Chinese about that story, how it could possibly get repeated, and they all seemed to think it quite natural that people should be lieve that the Empress might do it. "It 13 better than being browbeaten by for eigners." they said. That despair of re lief from the constant Insolence of for eign nations, the coldness and hardness produced by seeing their country slowly torn to pieces, by feeling the old order passing away and a new order with which they were utterly out of sympathy come In, by feeling that the encroaching for eigner despised their Ideals and hated their most cherished convictions, the sense that whatever they were in name. In fact they were slowly passing Into slavery to a power which they hated and loathed, that -they were failing before a force that knew no law of right as they knew right, that they were the laughing stock of the world and before their own peo ple they had no "face," that their armies, land, education, doctrine, were all being wrested from them, to be administered at the will of their enemies, such a feel ing might well Inspire them to grasp at the Boxer promises with the desperate hope that, with the aid of the gods, they might at last drive out the enemy, re gain their old position, and at least be 'rulers in their own land. Added to these were more Ignoble mo tives. They loved the very faults of the old system, which they themselves con fessed to be faults. They had grown up under a system of bribery and corrup tion; they drew their wealth from it. They were driven to maintain their posi tion not only by pride, by inborn con servatism, by natural shame, but by the knowledge that change meant for them ruin and degradation. If they did not fight there was only one other choice pos sibleto accept reforms which they de tested and to sit humbly at the feet of a people whom they despised as profane. The thing was Impossible. Reform for them meant extinction. They preferred rthe counsels of despair. Their choice was foolish, but it was very natural. They preferred a momentary vengeanco and annihilation to slavery. They failed even to get vengeance and now the Euro, pean nations are quarreling over the wreck and how they may best destroy the old China to create a new. The work is very necessary, but the matter of ac complishment Is very sad. SEPULTURE OF KINGS. Place "Where Enplish Monarch Have Been Interred. Many people imagine that it is quite a departure from precedent that Queen Vic toria's body should be buried In the mau soleum on which Her Majesty spent near ly a quarter of a million of money: but though no other British sovereign has been burled at Frogmore, the bodies of the slx-and-thirty English Kings and Queens who have reigned since the Nor man conquest were laid to rest in many places about the kingdom, and some of them were not even burled in British soil, j.ays the London Express. "Westminster is the last resting-place of nearly half of them 1C. to be exact. "Windsor comes next with seven. The re maining 13 are distributed about the country and on the Continent. Henry III, who died at "Westminster on November 1C, 1272. was the first Eng lish King to be burled in the historic ab bey: for none of the Normans sleep there. Three other Plantagenets besides Henry III were burled at Westminster namely, his Immediate successor. Edward I, who died at Burgh-on-Sands,'near Carlisle, on July 7, 1307: Edward III. who died at Rich mond on June 21. 1377. and Richard II. who Is supposed to have been murdered at Pontefract castle on February 10. 1100. Only one Lancastrian was buried In Westminster the gallant Henry V, who died at Vincennes, In France, on August 31, 1422 and whose body was embalmed and brought to the abbey for burial. Four sovereigns of the houses of York and Lancaster united were Interred at Westminster namely, Henry VII, who died at Richmond on April 21, 1500, am was buried In the chapel erected by hlnv self in the abbey; Edward VI. who died at Greenwich on July C, 1553, and was bu rled In the abbey with Protestant rites on August S; Mary, who died of dropsy at St. James palace on November 17, 155S, and Elizabeth, "the last and greatest of the Tudors." who died on March 24. 1003. The English and Scottish crowns be came united under the Stuarts, the first of whom James I died at Theobalds, in Hertfordshire, on March 27. 1G25. and was Interred in Westminster Abbey. Three other sovereigns of the same house were burled at Westminster Charles II, who died on February C, 1CSG, and was In terred In the abbey on the night of the 14th; William III, who died, on March S, 1702, as the result of a fall from his horse (and Mary, who had died on De cember 28 1C94), and Anne, who died at Kensington on August L 1714. The last and IGth sovereign to be In terred at Westminster was a Hanover ianGeorge II. who died October 25, 17C0. We now come to the seven sovereigns who were burled at Windsor. The flsst of these was a Lancastrian, Henry VI, who is supposed to have been murdered In the Tower by, or at the Instigation of, Rich ard, Duke of Gloucester, on June 20, 1471. Another Plantagenet, Edward IV, who died April 9. 1493, was buried at Wind sor. Though "Bluff King Hal" died at West minster January 2S. '1547, his remains were Interred at Windsor, as were also those of the unfortunate Charles I, who was beheaded at Whitehall January 30. 1G49, for we read that "on the snowy Febru ary 7 the White King was borne to his grave at "Windsor In Henry VIH's vault." His leaden coflin, by the bye, was opened by order of the Prince Regent In 1S13. Lastly, three Hanoverians were buried at Windsor George 117, who died at Wind sor Castle January 29, 1S20; George IV, who died June 26, 1S30. and William IV, who died June 20. seven years later. Curiously enough, William the Con queror's remains do not rest on the soil he made his own, for he died at Rouen September 9, 10S7, and was burled at the Abbey Church, which he hnd built at Caen, In his own Normandy. His son, William Rufus, who, as every schoolboy knows, was killed by an arrow while hunting In the New forest, was burled at Winchester Cathedral without any religious service, "for his wickedness had been great, and men looked on his death as a judgment of God." Henry I. like his father, the conqueror, died at Rouen, December 1, 1135, but was burled at Reading; and the last of the Normans. Stephen, who died at Canter bury October 25, 1154, was Interred at Fa versham. Two of the Plantagenets were burled at Fontevrault. Henry I died at Chlnon July 6, 1189, and was burled In the Ab bey Church at Fontevrault, while Richard I. who died at Limoges on April 6, 1199, of an arrow wound inflicted by one Bert rand de Gourdon, was also laid to rest In the Abbey Church. His Hon heart, how ever, was bequeathed by him to the citi zens of Rouen. His brother John died at Newark Oc tober 12, 1216, and was buried at Win chester. Only one of our Kings was buried at Canterbury Henry IV, who died in a fit in the Jerusalem chamber at Westmin ster March 28, 1413. The Ill-fated young Edward V, who "was deposed on June 25, 14S3, was said to have been murdered in the Tower at the insti gation of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who usurped the throne as Richard III. In the reign of Charles II. what were sup posed to be the bones of the young King Edward were discovered under the stair case of the Bloody Tower, and Interred in Henry Til's Chapel, Westminster Ab bery, in 1G74. The last of the Plantagenet line, Rich ard III. was slalm at the battle of Bos worth August 22, 14S5, by the Earl of Rich mond, who succeeded him as Henry VII. Richard's body was subjected to great indignities, carried to Leicester, and there, after being exposed for two days, was burled In the Greyfrlars churchyard. James II. who abdicated In 1CSS, Is the only British monarch whose remains were burled in Paris. He had died in France. Lastly we come to George I, who died at Osnabruck June 9, 1727, and was burled In Hanover. Filipino Intelligence. Letter in Providence Journal. "The average Filipino does not see far Into the future, nor does he know much history, and he, therefore, thinks that the Americans who re now in his midst are representative American citi zens, and that what America is now giving is all that she ever will give. Therefore, the average Filipino is not a red-hot Amerlcanlsto. "I have found that the average col lege educated Filipino and there are many of them who claim to be of that status Is apt to know much more Latin than arithmetic and much more philosophy than geography. Some of them know the Bible almost 'by heart,' while they have never read a word of history, beyond a small amount of Span ish history. Among 100 ordinary natives who have any conception at all of the world you would find one or two, per haps, who would make a distinction be tween the whole of the 'new world' North and South America and the United States. America and 'Estados Unldos' are synonymous term with them. 'What Is Bryan (Bree-an, they pronounce it), now that he lost In the elections a judge or an ambassador?' one educated man asked me. 'How could a man who had served Jn the United States forces and attained a rank no higher than that of Major be elected President of the United States? was another question that was once sprung upon me." A single workman can out by hand 0000 watch glasses a day. CHARITY AND THE POOR DR. KELLOGG DISCUSSED PROPER METHODS OF RELIEF. First Concern Is to Cnre the Causes of Poverty, and to Give the Xeedy Jnstlce and Sympathy. Rer. H. W. Kellogg's subject, at Taylor Street Methodist Church, yesterday morn ing, was "Consideration of the Poor." His text was from Psalms xllrll "Blessed Is he that consldereth the poor." He said: ' 'Poverty said one, 'Is the misfortune of some, the disgrace of more, the inher itance of most.' The poor are a perma nent element of society. What shall De done with them? The answer is urged as a religious obligation. It is now be coming a scientific question as well. The spirit Is of religious Impulse. Fulfilling Jt needs the discretion of the highest wis dom. The enforcement of consideration for the poor and oppressed was prominent in the Hebrew code. The duty was mag nified in the Christian lnw. Jesus adopts them as his peculiar care, commends them to his church, that they may be warmed and fed, stimulating the spirit by the promise of final benediction, 'Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of these my breth ren, ye have done it unto me.' The ful fillment of the charge has been a per petual care of the church in all ages, the true credentials of her divine mission among men. It lights up her history with a peculiar glory. It Is not an attachment to Christianity, but is born In her very life; not a painting on her canvass, but Interwoven in the texture of her fabric The work of charity springs forth with the exercise of the holiest and loftiest dis positions of human hearts, such as sym pathy and love. This work will ever abide so long ns these qualities of the soul live. "My text is a caution as well as an In junction. It does not say, 'Blessed Is he that glveth money to the poor, nor, Blessed Is he that feedeth and clotheth the poor' This may be done, and yet neither the giver nor the receiver be bene fited. Both may be Injured. It does say 'Blessed Is he that consldereth the poor. It contemplates wise -and systematic methods for dealing with the poor. It en joins generosity, but generosity directed by wisdom. There must be the exercise of heart forces. A cold, systematic, cal culating charity, without sympathy and love, will never fulfill the law of Christ. On the other hand, an impulsive, gushing, misled charity may work ruin to lives and communities. "It Is a favorable Indication that char ity Is becoming a matter of profound 'con sideration and Is assigned a place In po litical and social science. The growth of Intelligence among the lower classes and the extension of the privileges of citizen ship are among the causes which have led to a more careful consideration of the rights of the poor and the obligations of society to this important class. The finan cial depressions which have fallen upon civilized countries in the past few years, especially those which have overtaken England and America, have forced the at tention of all thoughtful men. Those who witnessed the degrading of the better na ture of men and women, the weakening of self-respect, and Individual struggle. In short, the pauperizing of many who had been respectable citizens, through misdi rected but kindly Intended charities, ar dently wished for relief through a more scientific direction. Science is in its be ginning. A few things only are settled. Among these. I am safe In mentioning: "First The poor demand consideration and care. These are not to be crushed un der the cruel heel of wealth or class power. This class has Its rights, which, if ignored, is to weaken the whole fabric of social order. "Second Whatever the cause of pover ty, the first concern is not to relieve the immediate condition, but to cure the cause. Sympathy is to be extended to the character of the man and treatment ad ministered here rather than to his con ditions. This Is Christian and scientific "Third Among the flrst things to be given them is justice. This must come before mercy. They must be protected in rights before courts, in representation, in opportunities and shares of production. In all this we see great Improvement. There is every reason for joy. What Is to come, and much is yet to come, will be brought about, not by revolution, but by evolution. This class will be an Increasing power in all popular forms of government. With the right of franchise, the Intelli gent co-operation in organization, with mutual sympathy and desire for better things, with the privilege of free agita tion, there is a bright future for the struggling classes. It is not wise to trust to theories which Imagination creates: which the originator sees- Is the remedy for all human ills. But agitation Is safe. Beware of theories which offer to men more than is provided for in productive ability. Remember the law: 'The effect in benefits Is never greater than the causes.' "Ignore any theory which does not re spect the individual. Communities are to be Imprpved as well as Individuals", but when the individual 1b Ignored the com munity will fall. "Again the poor are to be improved. This we already recognize in our sys tems of free education. The public school is supplemented by the kindergarten, be ginning at the right time and place. We need to teach Industries, and in so doing train for usefulness. Ignorance here is the cause of much poverty and distress. Teach boys and girls to walk effectively and you heal much poverty. "Religion, and its Influences, which min ister to the spirit and hope of men, is indispensable. Sin is the reason for a large proportion of the debasing pov erty of this land. Sin Is extravagant. It consumes the life, wastes the substance, devours homes and blights the hope of prosperity. Faith and hope make bright the days of necessary poverty, cheer the sufferers of misfortune and strengthen the weary hand to the task of another day. The poor may be greatly helped by mutual assistance. Brotherhoods and societies for mutual aid. financially and socially, are of Inestimable value. These are doing a work that Is divine. They afford men of limited means the relief from anxiety for the future of those de pendent upon them. It Is not surprising that this kind of benevolence is so popu lar today. "But after all this good work there will still be need for further aid to the poor. The need aris.es out of the facts of the causes of poverty which will still remain. The old classification Is not In correct "God's poor, the devil's poor, and the poor devils.' All these classes exist. There are'the poor who are poor because of misfortune. Sickness has kept the man at hard toil, and the weary years have brought nothing but want. Infirmities and weaknesses, which render one Incom petent In the struggle, are reasons why men are poor. No blame for this; "God made the old man poor.' These are often the choicest souls of earth. But they need sympathy and aid. Houses, food and clothing must be given them. There is the poverty of beginning life; the pov erty of the pioneer and the young man and woman who are starting. Honest tollers, these. Blessed is the man who helpeth them. "We have also the poverty of the wrongdoer the product of Intem perance and Improvidence "And then we have the gift of old civi lizations, of cruelty and oppression, born and bred In crime. They crowd the vile cesspools of our cities, living under con ditions which beasts despise. These are Increased by the degraded of our own country. These are" poor devils. Their treatment need concern us fn". They flssg easy I MmKKE TB TILL 1 1lwSB& ,.s11 1 H HAMBURGER, M0 . ANr a m I2S.S.- - . M TILL i THl KLM1. 1 are to be improved, not neglected. But they can never be Improved until one law be Imposed on them that of labor. Not the man with the hoe. but the man who will use the hoe, need concern us. To give to these food and clothing Is to perpetuate a curse which may some day ruin our civilization. This work of phil anthropy can only be done through the agencies of the gospel, which offers hope to the most degraded. It is the work of patience and time. The church and other organizations are doing a great work in these dark places. But the only safe way to reach these classes with gifts is, through organizations which administer them with greatest wisdom. Miscellane ous charity here is entirely out of place, and no Christian should take to himself praise for such work. Charity should never undermine, but always assist the better Instincts of human nature. "Then there Is that helpfulness which comes In a sympathetic 'consideration for the poor, which is often greaterthani moneny. The Russian novelist tells of a poor, blind beggar asking alms of a geil tleman, and the man, finding himself without money, said, 'Brother, I have nothing for you.' The sightless eyes filled with tears as the poor man said: 'Noth ing for me? Tou have given me more than wealth: you called me brother.' ' A new power came Into his life. He could never be the same poor man again. He was richer all through life for the kind word. The world Is filled with discour aged men. A word of cheer helps them to a footing, and they struggle to success. "The poor class, after all, Is and has ever been the world's royalty. These are the salt of the earth. I mean those who are not rich except In faith. Many of the rich are noble. But it Is necessity that has created 'resources, the producing classes, the world's burden, the world's educators. Its ministers of righteousness, and peace. Its artists, who have In the hovels of want painted Its pictures and composed Its anthems. 'Poor, yet making many rich.' It Is not a disgrace, but an honor, to be classified with God's honest poor. The great reformers have in life felt the gnawlngs of hunger, the philan thropists have fought the wolf from the door. It can be no disgrace to belong to the family of Lincoln and Garfield. In the mill of poverty, which seems to grind slowly. Is moulded the habits of Industry, thrift, ecenomy and honor which finally come to the throne. It Is hard to be poor, but It is often profitable. In this school the tuition is high. Let us be brave In poverty and struggle against It. Let us be kind to those who are unfortunate. Let lis be liberal and wise in our gifts, but broad and intense in our sympathies. 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done It unto me.' " "When London Lacked Police. Sir Walter Besant in the Century. There Is a story belonging to the year 1790 or thereabout which illustrates the absolute lawlessness of the mob. A man living In Wapplng, just outside the Tower of London, which was always garri soned by troops, gave offense to his neigh bors by complying with some obnoxious law. He received a warning that they Intended to attack him, by which they meant that they were going to murder him. The man had the bulldog courage of his time; he sent away his wife and children; got a friend as brave as himself to Join him; closed his lower shutters and barricaded his door; then laid In ammuni tion, brought In and loaded two guns, one for himself and one for his friend.

They retired In confusion, but returned In larger numbers and greater fury. All night long the unequal combat raged. When their ammunition was all spent the two men dropped out of a back window Into a timber yard, where they hid In a saw pit. Observe that this battle lasted all through the night, close to the Tower, where the firing of the guns must have been heard, yet no soldiers were sent out to stop it till morning, when the mischief was done and the house was sacked. Furthermore, no one was afterward ar rested, no one was punished save the men who were killed or wounded, and no Inquiry was made. Can any story more clearly Indicate the abandonment of the people to their own devices? TRADING ON SCALES. .Method Employed by Professional Speculator In Stocks. Wall Street Journal. There are two general methods of trad ing. One is to deal in active stocks in comparatively large amounts, relying for protection upon stop orders. In this method of trading It is not necessary to know much about values. The chief point of Importance is that the stocks should be active enough to permit the execution of the stop order at the point selected so as to cut loose short. The operator, by this method, guesses whicn way the stock" will move. If he guesses right, he lets his profits run. If he guesses wrong, he goes out on the stop order. If he can guess right as often as he can guess wrong, he Is fairly sure of profits. The other system Is an entirely dif ferent proposition. It starts with the assumption that the operator knows ap proximately the value of the stock In which he proposes to deal. It assumes that he has considered the tendency of the general market; that he realizes whether the stock In which he proposes to deal is relatively up or down, and that he feels sure of his value for at least months to come. Suppose this to exist: The operator lays out his plan of campaign on the theory that he will buy his flrst lot of stock at what he considers the right price and the right time, and will then buy an equal amount every 1 per cent down as far as the decline may go. This method of trading is the one gen erally employed by large operators. They know the value of the stock In which they propose to deal, and are therefore reason ably secure In following a decline. They about buying staple goods. If the about buying a staple goods. If the article Is cheap at S100, they know It Is cheaper at $90, and will strain a point to buy at $S0 or at $70, knowing that the price must recover. This is the way a large operator looks at his favorite stocks and this is the way he generally makes money In them. The disadvantage of the small operator In following this method is two-fold. He does not absolutely know the value of the stock. That Is, he may know the truth up to a certain point, but beyond that is an unknown factor which interferes with the result. ' When the price of the stock declines considerably the small oper ator always fears that he has overlooked something of Importance, and he Is there fore tempted to sell Instead of averaging his holdings. "My daughter was so nervous that she trembled all the time, and at night she was so restless that she slept but little, fre quently twitching and jerking while asleep. She had been growing worse for some time when we began giving her Dr. Miles' Nerv ine. The first night she rested well, and five bottles made .her nerves as strong and steady as they ever were." Mrs. G. M. Griggs, Grafton, CalL iles9 Nev2ae The scond disadvantage of the small op erator in following this policy Is that he seldom provides sufficient capital for his requirements. Thousands of speculators believe that because 10 per cent is a com mon speculative margin, $1000 justifies them in trading in hundred share lots. This impression produces losses contin ually. The man who has $1000 for speculation Is not well equipped for trading In even 10 share lots, If he proposes to deal on a scale. A comparison of high and low prices of active stocks show frequently a difference of 30 points in a year. Any operator proposing to follow a stock down, buying on a scale, should make his preparations for a possible fall of from 20 to 30 points. Assuming that he does not 'begin to buy until his stock Is 5 points down from the top, there Is still a possibility of having to buy 20 lots before the turn will come. If, however, an outsider will provide $2500 as his speculative capital and win trade In 10-share lots in a thoroughly good railroad stock, beginning his pur chases only after a decline of 5 points in a rising market, and 10 points in a bear market, following the decline with pur chases every point down, and retaining all the stock bought, he seldom need make a loss. Such campaigns require time, patience, and the pursuance of a fixed policy, hut whoever will follow this policy will find himself able to get a high rate of Interest on the capital Invested. It Is an old saying in Wall street that the man who begins to speculate In stocks with the in tention of making a fortune, usually goes broke, whereas the man who trades with a view of getting good interest on his money, sometimes gets rich. This Is only another way of saying that money is made by conservative trading rather than by the effort to get largo profits by taking large risks. A She Mowed. Chicago Tribune. "Marrying a man," observed the Phllo sophlcal Girl, "is strangely like buying a piece of chlnaware. It may have a break or a flaw in it that you cannot see when 5'ou buy it, but time reveals It. So time brings to light the hidden flaws in the man's character and shows just what kind of matrimonial bargain one has made." "But there is no need of buying a piece of china with a break In It," said the Disputatious Girl. "One can always test it to see if It rings true. "Yes," sighed the other, "but in the case of marrying, you know, it is always tho man does the ringing."
