goods,/ but the proprietor considers I
Jiimsc^f fortunate, at that, and gives j
all thp credit to "Tom.”
-Mr. Brown, his wife and several chil-
dren live in the adjoining dwelling.
They retired before midnight,and about
half-past three the next morning, wlien
/ill the occupants were asleep, some*
j body cut several slats out of a shutter
at the rear of the house and climbed
through the window. The cat was
downstairs and heard the noise. It
tuade several trips upstairs, mewing
.and scratching at its master’s bed-
spread until it awakened him. Mr.
Brown hesitated for a while, but
finally descended the stairs with a
'loaded revolver, but the robber had
.fled through a side door opening on V
-street.
"The cat Jumped up on my bed and
awoke me.” said Mr. Brown. “It
mewed and scratched, but at first I
.paid little attention to it and dozed off
again. The cat had gone downstairs,
but soon came back and sprang on the
M-'mm
to go downstairs under the circum-
stances. In a few minutes, however, I
got out my pistol and made a light in
my room. Then I went downstairs
and struck a light In the store. There
was nobody there. From there I
went back to the dining room, and
found a window and door open. But
nobody was in sight. ‘Tom’ accom-
paned me through the place."
A lot of aprons, handkerchiefs and
stockings were missed by Mrs. Brown.
While he was searching downstairs,
Mrs. Clara Brown, his wife, blew a
shrill whistle at an upper window to
attract a policeman, and aroused the
neighborhood. An officer came along
about 3:45 o’clock, according to Mr.
Brown. The police have no clew to
the identity of the robber.
The cat is now accounted a valuable
asset by its owner. The latter pur-
chased the store only about six
months ago. "Tom” was thrown in
with the bargain. It is only two years
old, and its master says would make
good in any three-ring circus. It
rolls hoops, springs through them
while In motion, and performs various
other acrobatic stunts for the amuse-
ment of the Brown children. It is as
black as ink.

jKarl H. Cressy, who was sent by the
(Central China relief committee to as-
certain present conditions in a portion
of the famine area. His report in part
[is as follows:
"It was thought best to investigate
as closely as possible a limited area
which might be taken as typical, and
for this purpose the township of Lupl
was selected. It is 55 li-north by
east from Esingkiangpu in the north-
ern part of the province of Kiangsu.
"Tlie township of Lupl extends 16
li from north to south, is 17 li from
cr.st to west, and thus contains rough-
ly 25 English square miles. In it dwell
2,700 families, aggregating 14,000 indi-
viduals, so that tile population is over
500 to the square mile. This sam-
ple fumine district contains about one-
half of one per cent, of the total area
and population now famine stricken
In China.
"Scvcrj/i neighboring villages were
examim/d in each of two widely sepa-
rated groups, taking every house, large
or small, In all 55 homes, and there
is no reason to believe that they are
not representative of the township as
a whole. One of the local gentry, the
head man of the township, accompa-
nied me, and contributed much general

HE province of Baluchistan is divid-
ed lor administrative purposes Into
what is termed Political Agencies.
Of these there are five, named, re-
spectively, Kalat, Quetta-Plshin,
Zbob, Loralal Si hi and Chagul. The
Chagal Agency has an area of some
twenty thousand square miles, and
lies on the map in the corner which
is bounded on the north by Afghanis-
tan and on the west by Persia. For
the most part tlie country is wild
and barren In the extreme: It possesses little culti-
vation and is Inhabited by nomads who support life
by pasturing their flocks of shepp, goats and camels,
in which consist their only wealth. Chagai is sub-
divided into three districts, which are named Nushki,
Chagal and the Western Sinjarani country. The
population of Nushki is a mixed one of Brahui and
Baluch. The Indigenous inhabitants of Nushki are
Baluch; but somo three or four generations ago a
branch of the Mengal tribe migrated from near
Kalat and settled in Nushki, which they made their
headquarters. From thence they spread northward,
eventually covering the larger portion of that, stu-
pendous sand waste which is known as- the Kegtstau
(the country of Iteg or sand), where they sunk wells,
some of which are close on three hundred feet deep.
No white man has ever penetrated into the true
liegistan, and so little Is kndwn about it; but this
wo do know, that here are to be found sandhills
larger than any others in the world. The word sand-

go through all baskets, jars and boxes
where food was likely to be kept.
These were all country people, who
seldom have money on hand, so tlie
supply of food actually on the prem-

dition.
“A straw stack indicates that there
has been a crop. I found straw in
four yards—one in thirteen. Grain
was found in only seven houses out
of fifty-five, and in no place over a
peck of it. The food in process of
preparation was invariably greens—
sweet potato leaves or carrot tops, a
thin acrid-smelling mesa of the ap-
pearance of stagnant water and about
as appetizing, only once in a while con-
tain' g a bit of vegetable or grain.
About one out of every three were eat-
ing elm bark, ‘which they prepare by
reducing it to a fine sawdust and then
making it into cakes. Whole rows of
trees have been thus stripped of their
bark. Of even such sorry food as this
only a few have any great amount on
hand. After it Is gone they will eat the
bark of the willow and mulberry,
which cause swelling and hasten death.
Except for these, the countryside is

our study presents another of his
seeming paradoxes, viz, the blessed-
ness or the happiness of poverty, hun-
ger and persecution Spoken primari-
ly to the twelve, Jesus Intended these
words for all the people- present and
prospective. Jesus Is distinctly the
poor man’s friend lie knew the mean-
ing of hunger and tlirist, of weeping
and mourning, and so contrasts the
Joy that shall bo to these "happy ones”
with the "woe" that shall come to
those who from out of their joy and
itheir abundance fall to respnud to the
needs of mankind.

How Governor Hogg was Once Tricked
SI A
,«|T was very seldom that any po-
1 litical opponent of the late Gov.
Jim Hogg, the far-famed Texas states-
man, ever took a trick from that wily
gentleman, and yet I remember an oc-
casion where a slick Republican best-
ed him,” said Capt.. George D. Canby
of Galveston the other day.
“They were having a Joint debate,
and Hogg was denouncing the Re-
publicans for their policy of absorbing
the Philippines. He poured in the hot
shot, and the long-haired Texans gave
vent to their approval bv shrieks and
vociferous yells. He said be knew his
honorable opponent would attempt to
defend his party when it came his
turn to speak. The audience was
then and there warned that his op-
ponent was entirely Ignorant of the
subject—so ignorant that he could not
name ten out of the thousand or more
Islands constituting the Philippine
archipelago. Hogg repeated the as-
sertion and challenged his opponent to
give the names of any ten of the whole
group.
“All this time the Republican bad
been doing some quick thinking. He
did not, as a matter of fact, know the
name of a single island In the Philip-
pines, except, perhaps, Luzon, but he
was also satisfied that Jim Hogg was
no whit better informed. At. that time
the conquest of the Philippines was
new and hardly anybody was enlight-
ened regarding them. Thinking this
over, our Republican orator bad an in-
spiration. He didn’t know the names,
but neither did his challenger, and
therefore, a bluff might go. The names
of the Islands were unquestionably
Spanish. What was to hinder him
from enumerating the names of cer-
tain brands of imported cigars that
came ready to memory??
Thus it was that when his turn
came to speak he met/the defi of his
foe with absolute serenity. Governor
Ilogg was the most astonished man in
the big audience, while he listened to
the other man rattle off, not ten, but
twenty, fine-sounding Spanish words
lofty hills, the tops of which are burled beneath
hundreds of feet of sand. One of the photographs
shows the southern edge of this sandy waste, and
was taken from a point which lies about ten
miles from the Afghan frontier. In summer the
Registan is deserted, as the grass, which springs
up in profusion in winter alter the first shower ot
rain, withers away, and the heat is so intense
that even the Brahui, with his Indifference to
heat, cannot bear the fiery temperature which
then reigns there supreme. As the summer makes
itself felt, the pastoralists slowly withdraw, part
moving north to the Helmand, where they await
the time when the season will allow them to re-
turn to their haunts, and part moving south and,
crossing the frontier, pitching their goat-hair
tents, or gedans, as they are called, on the edge
of the sands which are depicted, and wait until
the hot weather passes. Terrible stories are told
of the fate which has overcome those who have
been so rash as to attempt to cross the Registan
in summer: and that these stories are true Is
shown by the fact that a party of Brahuis, escap-
ing from Kandahar in 1900, took the Registan
route in the hope of avoiding pursuit, and out or
some fifty people, ail except two or three per-
ished. The remains of these unfortunates were
found, when the return of the cold weather per-
mitted a search to tie made, on tlie spot where
they had fallen months before, some covered with
sand which had drilled over them, and the rest
in a circle huddled together just as they had
wailed lor tlie death which they knew was com-
ing, and which, no doubt, was a happy release
when it arrived. Weird sounds are heard in these
sandy wastes. Perhaps the commonest Is what is
called by the inhabitants "Sultans’ drums.” What
appears to be the drum drumming ot a native
tomtom is heard in the distance, it may be ap-
proaching or it may be slowly going away. A
search re veals nothing which can account for the
sounds. Or it may be a man Is picking his way
cautiously along a ridge of sand when he is sud-
denly startled out of Ills senses by what was ap-
parently the bang of a drum struck by someone
only a few yards away. Let him search never so
carefully, lie will find nothing there. No satis-
tactory explanation of these sounds is forthcom-
ing; but there is little doubt that they have their
origin In the dryness of the atmosphere and the
intense heat that prevails.
In religion the inhabitants are Mahomedans,
but their predilection for shrines and for sacri-
ficing sheep and goats at these latter on every
AJTE1VJN6
WOJ at nush/ce
occaslou which arises, tends to show that tbvir
Muhomedanism Is of
duetlon. In many of their shrines will be found
carefully-rounded stoneB, very similar to those
so common In down country Hindu temples, and
which point to a religious connection that lias not
long been severed. 'I lu-y are wild, but, as might
ho expected, not fanatical. Their affections are
easily won If they are treated well and with sym-
pathy. Marvelously hardy, yet disinelltied to any
great physical exercise, they prefer to spend their
time half asleep watching their camels and sheep
graze. For their wives they puy sums which
plunge them into debt for years, and, Indeed,
sometimes until they havo daughters of their own
to dispose of In the matrimonial market. In ac-
cordance with Mahomedan usage, plurality of
wives Is permissible, but lew have the necessary
amount, ol means to first purchase and afterwards
maintain more than one wife. They are brave,
and before Great Britain took over the country,
whicli whs only In 1896, they wore much addicted
to raiding Each tribe has its own lends, and
these have been in existence for generations.
They pride themselves on the possession of es-
pecially fine sword blades, which are the fruits of
successful forays Into Persia. The blades are
very curved, and the blits of their swords are so
small that a European cannot grasp tlmm in
stature they are, ns a rule, short, with email
frames, but very wiry. To tlie English eye, per-
haps the most striking characteristic Is their cus-
tom of wearing their hair long. In the old days,
when a man tilled tils field It was necessary to
do so under a guard, but with English rule this
has passed away.
The further w<-Ht one goes, and the further
one getH from the center of Baluchistan and
from its capital, Quetta, the less land Is culti-
vated and Hie more marked becomes the nomadic
propensity, until on the frontier itself tribes are
met with who spend their time almost entirely
in attacking tbHr neighbors or defending them-
selves in turn from attack. In fact, their state
Is exactly what the state of the whole ot IJiv
luchistan was.

Cornelius Vanderbilt, From Boatman
to Railway King.
May 1, 1810, Cornelius Vanderbilt,
having imbibed a strong liking for the
sea, asked his mother to lend him
$100 to buy a boat. The mother said:
“My son, on the 25th of this month
you will be sixteen years old. If by
that time, you will plow, harrow and
will advance the money.” The little
patch of ground on Slaten Island
where the Vanderbilt family lived was
not large enough to support a family

zen, when the speaker finished, the
governor arose, and, making a courtly
bow, apologized for his mistake. ‘I
am sorry to have misrepresented my
friend,’ said Hogg. 'He has far more
knowledge of the Philippines than I
supposed, and I ask his pardon.’ ”

rowed that rough and stony field, and
that $100 laid the foundation of his
famous fortune.
There were other boatmen in that
harbor who wanted to be rich, but
they were not willing to pay the price.
While the other boatmen wasted their
money in drink and their time in silly
pleasures, Cornelius stayed on the job,
slept with one eye open, looking out
for tlie main chance. He gave the
first $300 ho earned to Iris poor par-
ents. While other boatmen were
treating their customers to liquor to
get trade, Cornelius built up a repu-
tation for integrity among that crowd
of poor people.

tacked by the British, ail the boat-
men except Cornelius put In their
bids to carry provisions to the mili-
tary posts all around New York. They
were offering to do the work at a price
for which be said It could not be done,
but then the contractor was exempt-
ed from military duty. To please his
father Cornelius put In a bid, but he
did not go to hear the award. To his
astonishment the contract was given
to him at a higher price Wondering
why, the commissary said: “We have
given this contract to you because we
want this business done and we know
you’ll do It.” Capital is not what a
man has, but what a man is. Charac
