I'rof. (i. Stanley Hail, of Clark I'nl-
verslty. ha been collecting fact inn-
ccrnlng the fear of children. The fear
of children, he say, are generally cre
ated by parent. I'rof. Hall found ii,-,t
1.701 children had (l.-l.iil fear. Ihe lend
ing illicit being Hie fear of llglitninir
and thunder, reptile, ulrungrrs, the
dark, death, domicile nnlmals
wild animal, water, ghost. Insects'
rut ami mice, robber, high wind, etc.
A few of these fear are rail, m il In
New Jersey no children were found lo
be afraid of high winds, hut In t.
Went that fear naturally leads all oth
er. At Irentou, however. ll. two
children were found who dreaded the
end of the world, a fiiir created entire
ly by adult (caching. The table show
what education can do lu this rcsiicd.
No child was found lo be afraid of Ibe
devil. Two hundred yen in airo nnd less
Hint fear would have led nil Ihe rest,
l ew were found who were afraid of
ghoats. a fear which would have sloo.l
high on Hie list not long ago. At c,Mii

were afraid of thunder Mono ami nulv

ber nnd of wild animals Is a survival
though robber have not disappeared

ty alx New Jersey children were nfriil.l
of being burled alive, a monstrous

if haa been two or three yenr since
Wee Wung returned to 1'eklu, but fond
recollections of lib great genius still
linger III Hie heart. of the people of
Chinatown. He wa considered by the
(blnese of San l'ranclco the very liest
female Impersonator that had ever trod
the board of a Iheater outside of the
I'lowery Land. He was honored and
dined by Hie wenlthh-Mt Mongolians lu
Chinatown, nnd admired by all as the
prince of comedians, during hi year's
engagement with Hie local stock com
pany. Wee Wlllig, who'wilrt a good looking
little 111 it it of about twenty live year,
always appeared lu the lending reunite
role of a play, and always made the
hit of the performance. Hi make up
a 11 gentle little belle w a n work of art,
, und hi portrayal of Hie feminine role

tlful wig of oily black hair adorned with
many Jeweled plus ami tiny chains,
with hi rouged cheeks, rosy-red lip
and penciled eyebrow, and with his
lovely gow n.s and tiny Milken shoes. Wee
Wung became a very adorable person,
Indeed so adorable, lu fact, that occa
sionally a masculine heart In the audi
ence made Ihe rlcldtilou mistake of
throbbing with loving admiration.

of the highly succnful comedy, "The

while hi thought wandered away to

he -could possibly secure. A he stood
there III the stage doorway, dreaming
or coming rtciies, his cigarette Ixvanii'
mailer ami smaller, until It burned
h! linger and wa regretfully throwu
Into Hie gutter.
W ee Wung a about to light another
when a cab .111110 rattling along the
bouldered street. The driver brought
the horse to a standstill at the curb
stone, directly lu front of Ihe little
coined. an. and a woman stepped out
upon the sidewalk. Wee Wung was
greatly surprised when she turned to
lit tn and said, "My good woman, would
you I ke to earn live dollars':"
t'f coin-so the lady upmsc.l Wee
Wung to tie a woman, ami the actor

understood Kngllsli fairly well, sl

of Ihe cab wished blin lo perform soin.'
ervlce for money. He nodded his
head. Indicating that he wa perfovtly
willing to earn five dollar -a auiii
which I not to be laughed at by any
Cblii.-tm.ia) and certainly not by merce
nary little Wee Wung.
'Iherv Is no work expected of you,"
aid the lady. "All you have to do is
to come with me at ouce, aa laiu In a
great hurry."
Wee Wung explained, aa beat b
could, that be must be back by 0 o'clock.
"Very well," bli new friend conrltt.
ned, "I proralsa that you ahall b
brought back to your home here lo tha
tab by that time."
The bargalo was completed. Without
asking aDy question, tbe adventurous
Chinaman entered tbe vehicle with tho
strange woman and was quickly driven
up Depont street toward the business
portion of the city. Wee Wung did not
choose to disclose his Identity, fur
shrewd reasons of his own. la the first
place, he preferred that bis new com
panion should believe him to be a worn
an, because If she renliz'-d the true state
of things, he feared H at she might nut
give hi 111 the five-dollar Job after all.
Secoud, he wished to keep his curious
trip Into the city a c!"e secret, for If
the manager of the theater discovered
that the little comedian had played
truant Id order to earu extra money,
he might not approve of the adventure
at all. 80 Wee W ung held hi tongue,
and said not a word to the lady seated
besldu him as the cab rumbled along
the street, although be could not but -feel
aouie curiosity to know what he
waa expected to do In ictiirn for tbu
money. The lady volunteered no Infor
mation upon the subject, however, so
the little comedian remained quite lu
the dark.
In a short time the cab came to a
stop lu front of a large building, tho
topmost part of which so Wee Wung
noted aa he gazed upward-appeared to
be brilliantly lighted. The little Mon
golian's new friend took hltn by the
hand, lending him Into the building ami
Into an elevator, nnd accompanying him
In a flying Journey to the top Uoor. Soon
Wee Wung found himself ou a platform
In the brightly Hlumluated ball which
he hud seen from the street, li s guide,
the woman of the cat), ushered him to
one side of the platform, behind a cur
tain, where another lady seemed to be
waiting for them. A tall, straight, rath
er handsome woman she was, and ehe
wore the most curious costume that
Wee Wung had ever seen iimiu an
American lady.
I have found a (,'hlmtie woman for
you, Sir, ruikey-urcstou, said vn-e
Wung' woman, ns she led the upMse d
Chlmwc girl Into the presence of the
strangely costumed lady.
"(Hi, I thank you so much, Mrs. Il'-s-
per, " replied -Mrs. I'lukley-Crestoll, ell-
thushiMtlcally. "I'm sure I don't know
what I should have done without your
kind assistance. It Is after 8 o'clock,
and I must begin at ouce, or my audi
ence will be growing Impatient."
After bidding Wee Wung remain
where he was until told to step forward,
Mr. rinkley-Crestoii walked out to tho
center of the platform, while Mr. Hcs
per took a seat In the audience. Ily
peeping around the curtain behind
w hich he was stationed, the little Chin
aman cuuld see that the hull wu tilled
with women. There wa not a man
ntiiong them. What did It all mean?
Why had he been brought here? Wee
Wung wa sorely pur-alcl. What kind
of entertainment was this, and what
part could he Ks.sibly lake in It? Hut
Mr. Pliikley-Cretou bad begun to talk,
and Wee Wung trained his ears lu or
der to bear something that might throw
light upon the bewildering situation.
"My dear friends." began Mrs. Pink
ley Creston, "1 collie before ymi to
night to repeat my somewhat celebrated
lecture upon "Wo u s pros lu Ii(Ter-
ent Nation.' I have always beeii an
ardent advocate of dress reform, and lu
this sucrcd cause I have traveled over
the world su that I might become thor
oughly nciiualnted with the costiiims
worn by the women of different nation-
nlltli. I now propose to take each 11a-

not that they come tlrst, uecessardv
lu the matter of proper dress, but ..
cause I have secured a Chinese woman
from Chinatown to Illustrate this n-irt
of my hs'ture, mid I do not n isli to taki
up loo much of her lime."
Here Mr.. I'lnkley Creston 1 11 rued her
head and smiled sweetly at W ee W ung,
mid lieckoiicd him uii to the platform
bffore the audience. Poor Wee Wung
wa terror stricken as he stepped Into
view. He had appeared upon the boards
Hie greater part of his lire, but had
never experienced stage fright U-forc.
"Now, all w ill notice," continued Mrs.
rinklcy Cifslon, taking the end of Wee
W ting's silken gow n In her hands, "iliat
the Chinese women wear only the mint
soft und clinging outer garments, w hich
are not only comfortable to the wearer
but very pleasing to the eye ns well!
Their great wide sleeves I also sanc

nil women will wear them. As for the
undergarments of the Chinese women.

praiseworthy. Now, my good woman,"
the bvturer went on. addressing Wee
W ung, "I wish that you would show the
ladies the rest of your clothe, and tell
them In your best English the maimer
In which you dross."
A luminous light flashed Into Wee
W ling's almond eye. At last be un-
derslood It all.
"Chinese gal no rnlkeo," he said In his
falsetto voice, shaking his head vigor
ously, "if Mcllcnu lady no pay Ave dot-

'She I afraid that I will not nav her

repealed W ee Wung. with a broad crln.
Very well, then," replied the lectur
er w ith some exasperation In her voice

cr trousers pocket a five-dollar note
which she handed to the little China
man. No sooner was the monev In h

and fairly shouted: 1

and he Jerk.sl from his head the black
false hair, disclosing his shaven era

The confusion which foil,. wed beggars

assuming a marked Importance lu our
architecture. Almost every house that
Is built with more pretention than a
collage contains n "don." und while the

occupies one of the choicest and nmst

this corner of the house should reflect
the taste of the masculine element, even
