"Heathen Chinr."
Which I wieh to remark
SAnd my language ia plain
That for ways that are dark.
And trlcka that are vain,
The heathen Chinee ia peculiar.
Which the tame I would riae to ex
plain. Ah Fin was his name:
- And I shall not deny
In regard to the same
" What that name might Imply.
' But his smile It waa pensive and child
like, A I frequently remarked to BUI Nye.
Jt waa August the third,
' And quite aoft waa the skiee;
Which It mlgtft be Inferr'd
That Ah Sin waa likewise;
Yet ha play'd It that day upon William
Anu me in a way I despise.
Which we had a amall game.
And Ah Sin took a band;
It waa euchre. The same
He did not understand;
But he smiled aa he sat by the table.
With a smile that was childlike and
bland.
Tet the cards they were stock'd
In a way tbat I grieve.
And my eellng;s were shoek'd
At the state of Nye'a sleeve.
Which waa stuffed full of aces and
bowers
And the same with Intent to deceive.
But the hands that were play'd
By , that heathen Chinee, - ,
And the points that he made.
Were quite frightful to see
Till at last he put down a rinrht bower,
. Which the same Nye had dealt unto me.
Then I look'd up at Nye,
And be gazed upon me;
And he rose with a sigh.
And said, "Can this be?
We are ruin'd by Chinese cheap labor;"
And he went for that heathen Chinee.
In the scene that ensued
I, did not take a hand.
.. But the floor it was strew" d
Like the leaves on the strand
' With the Cards that Ah Sin had been
hiding.
In a game he "did not understand."
In his sleeves, which were long.
He had twenty-four jackal "
.. Which was coming it strong,
Yet I state but the facts;
And we found on his nails, which were
taper.
W"hat is frequent in tapers that's wax.
Which la why I remark
' And my language is plain
That for ways that are dark.
And for tricka that are vain.
The heathen Chinee is peculiar
Which the same I am free to maintain.
Francia Bret Harte.
FRANCIS BRETE HART, the Amer
ican poet and novelist, is one of
the most Interesting characters
In our literature. Although borri
In New York state, at an early
age he drifted to California, where he
figured in turn as a coal dealer, a
teacher and a typesetter on the "Golden
Era." In which periodical appeared some
of his earliest literary efforts. Of his
various vocations literature was his
hobby and he eventually drifted into it,
and contributed to our language some
of the moat typical American poetry we
have.
He began his most serious work when
in 1868 he became the editor of the
Overland Monthly." It was In this pa
per tbat first appeared, in 1869, his
now famous humorous poem, "TIm
Heathen Chinee." but which Harte him
self styled "Plain Language from Truth
ful James. Table Mountain."
Harte's stories of western life were
popular, but his "Heathen Chinee" was
copied everywhere and made his name
familiar from one end of the country
to the other. At the time It was writ
ten the Chinese were invading Califor
nia in large numbers and in spite of
the contempt with which they were
Why Should I Use
Cuticura Soap?
"There is nothing the matter
with my skin, and I thought
Cuticura Soap was only for skin
troubles." True, it is for skin
troubles, but its great mission is
to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its deli
cate emollient and prophylactic
properties have rendered it the
standard for this purpose, while
its extreme purity and refreshing
fragrance give to it all the advan
tages of the best of toilet soaps.
It is also invaluable in keeping
the hands soft and white, the hair
live and glossy, and the scalp
free from dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that it wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes, of other soap, and making
its use, in practice, most econom
ical. Cuticura Soap is sold by
v druggists and dealers everywhere,
but the truth of theso claims may
be demonstrated without cost by

treated, were more than holding their
own.
He foresaw what might come of this
and he thought that he could, by treat
ing the situation from a humorous point
of view, strike a note in the right direc
tion. It Is curious to reflect that Ah
Sin and his famous hand at euchre
the "game he did not understand"
were designed to serve a practical pur
pose; but It was so, and on more than
one occatilon that purpose was filfllled.
But it was not until the author-editor
wanted to fill a space In his maga
zine that he took the lines from hia
desk and handed them to his printer.
Thinking very little of hts effort he
was not at all surprised that In San
Francisco, where it should have been
at once understood and appreciated "The
Heathen Chinee" attracted little or no
attention and he had almost forg otten
the poem when It began to create a
sensation in the outside world. The
verges had been reprinted In, an eastern
newspaper and were there Immediately
hailed with delight, their delicious nu-
mor being gratefully acknowledged and
their perfect and strangely attractive
style cordially praised.
Tbey found tbetr way to England and
the chorus of delight was augmented.
Within a few weeks thousands of peo
ple, who knew nothing of possible dif
ficulties which the growing power of
the Chinaman might create In the labor
markets of California, were talking of
Ah Sin of his "smile that was child
like and bland," an of his "peculiar"
way of malting sure of "the game he did
not understand."
It has remained so until today. Of
the little composition, so quickly con
ceived and written, and so modestly
placed before the world, one English
writer has fearlessly said: "No short
poem in the English language ever
achieved such a success as it did; and
perhaps, if we except Pope's Essay on
Man,' there is no poem in our native
tongue that baa added so great a num
ber of distinctive phrases and epithets
to our everyday speech."
Indeed it waa "The Heathen Chinee"
that clenched the growing popularity
of Bret Harte's works in England. If
some of us missed a little of the fun
that those who lived nearer the scene
of their action derived from it, it waa
generally acknowledged that the new
author had gone the right way about
his work In amusing the public, taking
in hand the thing that was next him,
and looking at it with the eye of an
artist; and while, scathing meanness
and vice with their several weapons, be
ing quite assured with Luther that there
is nothing the devil so much hates as a
hearty laugh.
But like the actor who never thinks
that the part -in which he has achieved
his greatest popularity Is his best as
sumption,' the author of "The Heathen
Chinee" never seemed to see the merit
of his achlevemenVand was unelated by
the cordiality of its reception. He did
not value it, -and seemed to deplore the
extraordinary interest it excited.
Bret Harte not infrequently mads halt
humorous, half earnest protest against
the constancy with which the sayings
of Ah Sin, the Truthful James, and the
doings connected ' with the game of
euchre played on Table mountain were
quoted.
"Its establishment waa sudden," his
biographer says, "one might almost say
instantaneous; for parallels I recall
'Waverley and 'The Pickwick Papers.' " ;
Rret Harte however, was alwavs sin- '
gularly sensitive with regard to Ah j
Sin, and in this connection a rather
amusing story may be told. Soon after
his first arrival In London his acquaint
ance was sought by a certain noble lord
of high literary reputation, and, after
the customary formal call, he was in
vited to dine at the great man's house
Always anxious to escape being lion
ized, he told a friend, who was to be
nf Ihn nartv that he should not so. as
he thought "The Heathen Chlpee" j
would be quoted at the table. The well
meaning friend sent a note of warning !
to their host; but his lordship loved a
Joke, and, giving his other guests a
hint, they talked "Heathen Chinee" and
"nothing else." At first perplexed and
annoyed, Bret Harte soon saw through
the little plot, and heartily Joined in the
laugh he had helped to raise against
himself.'
Whether he willed it or not, the ex
citement created by "The Heathen Chi
nee" waa destined to have a great effect
upon his career, and It Is one of the
beet remembered of -his writings.
LIFE IS ONE SWEET
DREAM FOR PAULINE
(Doited V rs Laasad Wire.)
Washington, July 22.- Not content
with a life of ease and inaction quietly
munching grass on the broad lawna
back of the White Houae. Pauline Wayne
II officially designated as the milk
producer for the president and his fam
ily has Just been housed in a brand
new stable fitted up with every modern
convenience.
The stable itself Is situated at a con
venient distance from the White House
grounds, where Pauline Is let to pas
ture, so that she will not get unduly tired
traversing the distance twice a day.
In addition to being constructed accord
ing to the most modern plans, Pauline's
abode la fitted up with ' convenlencea
which are usually found only in .dwell'
ins for human beings.
The stable is built of brick and steel.
The floors are concrete and the walla
cement, so arranged ' that the entire
structure can be flooded with water and
thus kept absolutely clean. There are
patent automatic-filling feed and water
ing basins, electric lights end a shower
bath. And the shower bath Is expressly
made for Pauline.
Every evening during the hot weather
Pauline Is brought home, rubbed down
and massaged by a special Swedish
attendant, who will see that the bovine
lady does not get too fleshy from want
of exercise. Following this she will be
bedded in sterilised straw and fanned
to sleep by an electric fan. It la thought
that If she gets restless during the
summer an appropriation will be made
for a graphophone to sooth her and aid
her In falling asleep.

MAKES FORTUNE IN TIPS,
HOTEL PORTER RETIRES
(By the International Nwa Service.)
London, July 22.. Having amassed a
snug fortune from the tlpa of princea
and American millionaires whose con
fidential guide and adviser he haa often
been during the last 13 years, L. M.
Rost, the chief porter of the Carlton
hotel, has retired from his position find
entered upon a commercial career.
The fortune he has earned from hit
tips alone, for he received no salary, he
has invested In land Just south of Lon
don, which he intends to develop as
real estate agents at New Tork and
other American cities develop American
suburbs.
When I saw him yesterday in his new
offices almost opposite the Carlton, he
said:
"I made a fortune at the Carlton, and
I .have bought land. What better in
vestment could I have?
"London now has seven million peo
ple. She can't help growing. In a few
years she will be ten millions. There
is only one London and only one Eng
land. It is the center of finance. The
English make the world work for them.
They invest their money abroad, .and
it cornea back in interest at ten and
12 per cent. When otehr parts of the
world prosper, the people in London
draw the proceeds.
"I have no politics. No country in
