SOPHISTICATION
Once tJ e horse of the road shied and
tumbled his load
At the sight of a cyclist awheel;
Now the dobbin Is rare who will kick up a
scare
At a tire-colored automobile
Once the clumsy balloon ns It soared to the
moon
Alarmed ail the birds on the fly;
Now the creatures a-wing quite contented
ly sing
When a neat little airship goes by.
And the fish of the sea now as tumeascan
can be.
On diving-bells tranquilly gloat.
All compunction forgot—and the sea-horse
shies not
At the president's submarine boat.
For fish, flesh or fowl cannot set tip a howl;
So, bowed to the natural plan,
They steady their nerves to the curious
curves
Of that curious butt-in called Man.
—Wallace Irw in, in N. Y. Globe.
The Writer
Who Failed
L --Jl
ONE winter morning several years
ago the mail brought me a roll of
manuscript anti a letter. Every pub
lisher and editor receives such packages
so often as to know them at a glance.
Usually they contain half a dozen poems
and a story—a blur of sunsets, duch
esses, violets, bad French and worse
English, with not a grain of common
sense, not a hint of reality in the whole
of it. 1 opened the letter and read that
the writer was "not dependent on her
pen for support," she "had vowed her
self to literature;’’ she "was resolved to
assist in the progress of humanity.”
Scarcely had 1 laid down the letter when
I was told that she waited below to see
me.
The card she sent up was a bit of a fly
leaf of a hook, and the name. Miss Barr,
written in imitation of engraving. Her
back w as toward me when I came down,
and I had time to read the same sham
stylishness written all over her thin lit
tle person. She told me that she came
from Mississippi, and that she had been
the only white child on a poor plantat ion
on the hanks of the Yazoo.
“I have only had such teachings as
my mother could give me," she said,
simply, ‘‘and my mother had but two
years with a governess. Life on the
lonely old plantation became distasteful
to me. and 1 got my father and mother
to consent to my coming to New York
to engage in work as an author. I shall
succeed as a writer some day. Just now
people will do anything for me but
print my manuscripts.”
“You came alone?”
“Quite alone. I hired a little room
over a baker's shop on Second avenue.
I board myself and send out manu
scripts. They always come back to
me.”
"flow long have you been here?”
"Three years.”
“Impossible! You are but a child.”
"I am 20. I had an article published
once in a Sunday school paper.” she con
tinued. producing a slip of printed paper
about three inches long.
Three years and only that little grain
of success! She had supported herself
meanwhile, as I afterward learned, by
needlework for a wholesale firm in
Brooklyn.
Her books and poems must. I think,
•THE DOCTOR SAYS ITS HI'NDER

have seemed unique to any editor. The

nobody. She painted over and over
again her own home life on tile Yazoo;
the hot. still sunshine, the stagnant
swamp, the semi-tropical forest, the
houses and negro quarters, with ail
their squalor and dreary monotony.
All my counsel to her to forsake the
occupation she had chosen was in vain.
During the months that followed her
case very nearly reached starvation. I
remember few things more pat hetic than
the damp, forlorn figure that used to
come to the editorial rooms through
snows and rains that winter. Some
times she brought small items of news,
and this information was the means of
I her securing a few dollars.
One day in the spring 1 was sum
I moned to see a visitor on business. I
found a tall, lank young man stalking
up and down the room, the most notice
able point about him being the shock of
red hair and whiskers falling over his
neck The face was that of an,ignorant
and small-minded man.
He came straight toward me. ‘‘Is
Marcia Barr here?”
“No, she has been gone an hour.”
He berated his luck in a white heat
of rage, which must. I thought, have
required some time to kindle. Indeed,
I found he had been pacing up and
down the street half the morning, bar*
ing seen her come in. She had gone out
by a side door.
"I caught a glimpse of her on the
street." he said. "I have come to New
York three times in the last year to
find her. Good God! how rank poor she
is. Where does she live?”
i could not tell him, as Marcia had
long ago left the baker’s and changed
her quarters nearly every month.
"And I reckon I’ll have to wait until
she comes hyar again. Tell her it's
Zack Biron, the overseer’s son. on—on
business.”
He was not long in unveiling his busi
ness. which any woman would si on
have guessed. He had come to bring
Marcia home and marry her.
Two months passed, in which he
sought for Marcia in vain. She had
seen him and knew of his errand. Then
one evening as I was passing along
lower Broadway I saw a crowd around
the form of a woman on the pavement,
who. I was told, had been injured by a
car while crossing the street. One
glance at the figure showed me that it
was Marcia, and 1 hurriedly followed
I the ambulance which carried her away
! to the hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital Marcia
was lying on an iron stretcher. The Mts
sissippian. Biron. was with her. kneel
| ing on the floor in his shirtsleeves and
| chafing her hand. He had taken off
1 his coat to wrap about her. He told
me later that he had recognized Marcia
as she was being lifted into the am
bulance after the accident.
‘Tve a good Quaker nurse and a
room ready for her at a first-class hotel
the minute she can be moved,” he
; whispered. "Look a-here!" he said.
! turning down the tawdry bit of latte and
; ribbon at her throat, his big. hairy
hand shaking. "Them bones is a’most
through the skin! The doctor says it's
hunger—hunger! ”
He was right. Starvation had almost
j done its work. There was but a feeble
flicker of life left in the emaciated little
I body; not enough to know or speak to
us when at last she opened her dull eyes.
“None of them folks need consarn
thediselves any furder about her.” said
: Biron. "She'll come home to her own
now. thank God. and be done with
writing stuff to make books. Mrs. Biron
will live like a lady.”
About three weeks later a splendid
phaeton stopped in front of my door,
and Mr. and Mrs. Biron sent up their
| cards. Mr. Biron was glowing with
happiness.
“We return immediately to the plan
j tation.” he said, grandiloquently. “I
reckon largely on the effect of her
native air in restoring Mrs. Biron to
health.”
Marcia was magnificent in silk and
plumes. Her little face was pale, how
; ever, and she looked nobody in the eye.
When they arose to go Marcia handed
: me a bulky package of papers. "These
are my manuscripts,” she said. "Will
j you burn them for me? All; do not
leave a line, a word. I could not do it.”
I took the package, and they de
i parted. Mr. Biron was vehement in his
protestations of friendship and invita
tions to visit the plantation. But Marcia
; did not say a word, even of farecvell.—

East St.Louis,III,
Just tell ’em that you saw it in The Journal
nor, is English to the core and has the
aspect of a gr at European city, while
within 100 miles lies Canton, the
typical Chinese city, a festering hale
of horrors, where the foreign I< na
tions, with that discretion which is
the better part of valor, reside in the
"French Concession." guarded day
and night by armed soldiers.
The streets of Canton are so nar
row that two sedan chairs can barely
pass by closely hugging the walis, and
the air is filled with foul odors, while
Hong-Kong can boast of fine Euro
pean buildings and cleanly streets. In
Canton it is not unusual to come upon
a pile of human bodie-s that have been
beheaded lying in the street waiting
to be carted a.. i> by the scavengers.
Perhaps the street urchins are seen
playing with one of the severed heads.
The flesh of cats ami dogs can be util
; ized as food, but the body of an exe
1 cuted criminal is only carrion
Besides beheading there tire many
ways of slow torture, and so callous
are these creatures to the sufferings
! of others that vast crowds collect to
watch the public punishment of crime.
In beheading no block or resting place
for the head is used. The neck is
stretched to its utmost by an assist
ant, and tin executioner with one
blow severs the head from the body.
Over the threshold or in the vesti
i bale of every house hangs a tiny lamp
that is never permitted to go out. This
is a shrine to the gods and to the de
l parted spirits of ancestors, and is
looked upon as a safeguard against
all evil spells.
Labor needs no protective union
here, as the immutable laws of tin
land make it a crime to rob labor of
its rights, by employing a beast for
any work a man can do. This is why
the sedan chair remains the universal
mode of travel. It shocks the civil
ized stranger to find perhaps the
shoulder of one of his hired coolies
in the same sad condition as the back
of many a horse in this country.
Charity bids him call another coolie.
1 hut the attempt to do so causes im
mediate trouble. There exists no so
ciety for the prevention of cruelty to
coolies.

custom to decorate the house with
