GUARANTEED SATISFACTORY OB. MOMI1 REFUNDED. Chinese Stewards on Pacific Liners, We sailed from San Francisco, bound 'or Honolulu, on a ship whose stewards and sailors are Chinamen. Even if all does not go well with the boat s motion in days of storm, one cannot fail to be entertained by these spry sons of the orient. The costume worn by the stewards is quite remarkable. For ordinary, ev­ eryday wear they don white garments that lesemble American pajamas In their j=tyle of cut and fit For dinner each evening and on Sundays the white suits ure exchanged for light blue gar­ ments of the same description rather an odd livery to our prosaic finds'. Of course, every Chinaman preserves . a habitual, solemn silence. If, owiug to an interesting conversation, the passen­ ger fails to notice the dish with which the table steward la trying to serve him the patient Chinaman stands im­ movable, with outstretched hand and sphiiixlike countenance, until attention is drawn to him, after which, his duty done, he slips in silence on his way. Plodding, silently, the sailors attended to their duties with mournful faces that Strongly appealed to me. They ate with chop sticks, sitting on their heels the while, and were, in fact, eminently satisfactory specimens in every way.-- Travel Magazine. A Hopeless Case. A Scottish paper tells a story of an old Scottish woman who was "unco' drouthie," without the money to buy "a drappie." "I^assie," she said to her little granddaughter, "gang round to Donald McCallum and bring me a gill. Tell him I'll pay him i' the morn­ ing." Back came the child with a refusal. Donald declined to part with his whis­ ky without the cash. Eager and Irri- tated, the old woman cast about for some means of "raising the wind," and her eye fell upon the family Bible. "Here, lassie," she said, "gie him this and tell him to keep if until I brlug him the siller." Off went the little girl, but she soon returned, still car­ rying the Bible. Donald was obdurate. "He says he maun hae the haultees flrfi|, granny." In anger the disapi>ointed grand­ mother threw up her hands and ex­ claimed: "Losh, did onybody ever hear the like o' that! The man will neither tak my word nor the word o' God for a gill o' whusky!" A Canine Shirker. Rex, a thoroughbred Spitz, must per­ form the painful duty of escorting a certain neighbor home when she has been calling at Q,ur house. However, It Is not without a show of reluctance that he does It. Recently our friend missed her escort, and no amount of whistling proved equal to recalling him. This occurred several times and It was always in about the same place that Rex disappeared. One night our friend determined to discover Rex's little game. After whistling and call­ ing she made a pretense of going on. She stopped in a deep shadow. Around the corner of the nearest house appeared a slinking figure. Stealthily quitting the shadows Rex crept out and peered long and anxiously up the street, whither, as he well knew, he should have continued to conduct the lady. After this he turned shamelessly around and lit out for home.--Chicago Tribune. Barnato Won the Bet. There is a legend of an amusing competition In connection with a dis­ cussion regarding the financial value | of literary genius. Barney Barnato. who was a genius, but not literary", I$gan to chaff some financial jour­ nalists. "You bloomln* fellers don't know nothin' about literature. I'll back myself to write a little piece against any of ypr." The challenge was laughingly ac cepted, and a referee appointed. The papers were thrown lr.to a hat, and the referee, after analyzing them, said: "Gentlemen, I am bound to say that the pfrlm must l>e awarded to Mr. Barnato. Ills pto< e Is terse, faultless^, In form, irreproachable In mutter. You yourselves shall judge." And he read out the following essay:. I promise to pay to Mr. X. the sum of ; £100 for his kindness in ar'ti'g tis referee In this Int'er S;!PLT C 11. I.. 15AUXATO. The aw ard was unanimously con- [ firmed by the oomiH»tltors, and the j check was duly honored.--I.ondoL Telegraph.' j Delicately Put. ! "A footman." said a banker, "called j his master up by telephone niul said: j "'I regret to inform you, sir, that I your house Is on tire and f^st burning down.' " 'Oh.' cried the master, 'what a ter­ rible misfortune! But my wife--is she safe?' " 'Quite safe, sir. She got out among the first.' " 'Are my daughters--are they all right 7 "'All right, sir. They's with their mother.' "There was a pause. Then: " 'And what about my uiother-in-law, James ?' " 'That, sir,' said the footmau suave ly, 'was what I wished to speak to you about, sir, particularly. Your mother- in-law is lyiu' asleep in the third story back, and knowlif your regard for her comfort, sir, I wasn't sure whether I ought to disturb her or not, sir.'"-- Los Angeles Times. Amusements the Weed of Mai Baby's Share of Blame. She had been fitted for two gowns, the total cost of which was nearly $600. "JCow," she said to the saleswoman, "I want you to do me a favor." "Certainly," was the prompt re­ sponse. The customer colored deeply. "I want you to make out the bill partly for gowns for me and partly for baby dresses and a baby's cloak." The saleswoman was used to the whims of fashionable women, but this was something she was a little slow In comprehending. The customer ex­ plained. "You see," she said, "my husband Is very fond of our baby, andr If he sees that the bill Is partly for dresses for her--well, he won't mind so much."-- Exchange. Takes His Own Medicine. In Baluchistan when the physician gives a dose he is expected to partake of a similar one himself as a guarantee of his good faith. Should the patient die under his hands the relatives, though they rarely exercise it, have the right of putting him to death un­ less a special agreement has been made freeing him from all responsi­ bility as to consequences, while if they should decide upon immolating him he Is fully expected to yield to his fate like a man. Which Is Your Shortest Hour? "What Is your shortest hojir iu the day?" asked a business man of an ac­ quaintance.' "Don't say you have none. You have, although y*>u may not know It. Everybody has. Of coersc, reckoned by actual measurement, each hour is composed of sixty minutes, yet notwithstanding that chronological ex­ actness the lvwrs vary in length. My shortest hour Is from 2 <o 3 o'clock in the afternoou. I flud upon inquiry that this is the fleetest period for many people. Iu my case so swiftly do those sixty minutes hurry by that I try to crowd lpto them as many of the disagreeable, yet inevitable, things of life as I possibly can. If I have to interview a bore, I see him then; if I have to visit the dentist, I do it then. That hour Is bound to slip away quickly, no matter what happens; therefore the agony of disagreeable scenes seems of shorter duration.**-- New York Sun. Naked Truth. An encounter of wits once took place between the late Eugene Field and a New York woman. £>It was at dinner, and the woman was In evening dress, which was rather decollete. After a skirmish between the two relative to the respective merits of a well known author It would seem that Field came off second best. "Oh, Mr. FleM," exclaimed the wo­ man exultantly, "you must admit that you are fairly beaten at your own game!" Field bowed politely and, with a smile, promptly rejoined, "At any rate, Miss Blank, I have one consolation-- you can't laugh at me in your sleeve." --Llpplncott's. Legend of the Violet. A Latin poem of the sixteenth cen­ tury has a pretty legend of a violet that, In mythological days, was a maiden calleH Ianthis, one of Diana's nymphs. She attracted the attention 01 Apollo, whose admiration she did hot return, and, flying from his pur­ suit, she implored Diana to destroy the beauty which occasioned her so much trouble. Diana granted her request and turned her face to a dull purple. Ianthis, however, soon regretted the loss of her beauty and was pining away with grief, when tlie goddess had pity on her and changed her into a flower, which still shrinks from Apol­ lo (the sun) and hides her modest head in the shade. Miss At Regular Rates. Matilda Owens hung on the Man's Ruling Wish. There Is one wish ruling over man­ kind, and it is a wish which Is never In a single Instance granted--each man wishes to be his own master. It la a boy's beatific vision, and It re­ mains the grownup man's ruling pas­ sion to the last. But the fact is life Is a service. The only question is. Whom shall we serve?--W. F. Faber. We have arranged with The Weekly Inter-Ocean so that our patrons can se­ cure that sterling paper, together with our own, at the exceedingly low rate of $1.75 for one year.

THEATRE TALK NO. 3 "HOW SHALL WE AMUSE OUR- SELVES SANELY AND IN GOOD CONSCIENCE?" was a question before a recent meeting of a young men's social organization in Philadelphia. This is a ques ti nof public mot als that must be considered and settled b the great body of amusement and pleasure loving people. Says one editorial paragraph: "IF YOU ONCE MAKE A KULE THAT A MAN CANNOT BE GAY AND AT THE SAME TIME GOOD YOU WILL BE MORE APT TO DECREASE GOODNESS THAN TO DESTROY GAYKTY." "JilAKE THE PEOPLE HAPPIER AND YOU WILL MAKE THEM BETTER." And one of the conservative religious papers recently said, "LET US NEVER BE AFRAID IN INNOCE NT JOY."
