What comfort a fellow can borrow, when life seems depressing und gray, by betting his hat that tomorrow will be quite a change from to day. Today it Is sloppy and muddy, today there Is water to burn; and I'm grouching here in my study, and using such language as "dern." The rain, it is sobbing and swishing, the wind maunders by with a moan; and I, who had planned to go fishing, look out at the climate and groan. for if I went fishing, with malice rheumatics would camp In my legs.

New York. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee THE MYSTERY OF CHINA. There are now in this country a number of notable Chi nese, some of whom, as long as Yuan Shi Kai remains in power, dare not return to their native land, and at least one of whom, General Hwang Using, has a price of $100, 000 on his head. From these leaders, who appear to be in constant communication with agents or friends at home, it is learned that the situation in China is daily becoming more desperate for the de facto government. It is under stood, from certain diplomatic representations, that the allied governments had something to do with Yuan's re nunciation of the Chinese throne. While recognizing this influence, and the undoubted interest of Japan, the native unrest in China must not be overlooked. China is now more of a political mystery than it was a physical mystery prior to the opening of the door to Asia. When the Manchus were in power the outside world could understand the influence which the reactionaries, led by the old empress dowager, wielded. But that regime has gone. The boy emperor is scarcely heard of. The first rebellion settled the old order. But trouble appeared on the heels of the new. While General Hwang Hsing, the Chinese leader with a price on his head, was being inter viewed at bis home in New York, recently, a cablegram was received fr< :n one of bis agents, which showed that at least one faction believed that Yuan Shi Kai was on the verge of flight from Peking. This report means that the president's enemies ai'e becoming holder, and that out; force is combining with another for his undoing. There is no doubt that the spirit of genuine republi canism has tired the hearts of thousands of young ( Chinese, that is, those who have come into contact with western ideals and aspirations. Letters which General Hwang has received from friends in China indicate that the repub licans. followers of an idea rather than a person, are gain ing strength, and that they are determined to overthrow all hindrances. The actual secession of Kwang-tung has stimulated rebellion in other provinces. There is military activity in 'i unnau and Kwei-chow, and later news cables tell of insurrection in Fokein. It seems certain that the monarchical movement will he opposed, whether foreign nations will have it or no, and that consequently the fer ment in politics must continue. LAW ENGLISH. Attention has been called frequently of late to the cumbersome and bewildering phraseology of legal papers of one kind or another. A practice that was begun in the first place for the necessary and avowed purpose of pre senting matters clearly has degenerated into the employ ment of a ridiculous redundancy which, very often, defeats its own purpose. As a striking, but by no means common, example of what lawyers, following custom and precedent, ai-e wont to do with the English language, the New York Sun quotes the following excerpt from a recent indictment. an un ? and the said John E. Peck, the said arsenic so given and administered unto him by the said Arthur Warren Waite as aforesaid, did then and there take and swallow down into his body; by reason of and by means of which said taking and swallowing down said arsenic Into hts body as aforesaid, he, the said John E. Peck, then and there became and was mor tally sick and distempered In his body, and of the said mortal sickness and dis temper from the said eleventh day of March in the yoar aforesaid until the twelfth day of March in the same year aforesaid, at the borough and county aforesaid, did languish and languishing did live, and on which said last men tioned day he, the said John E. Peck, at the borough and county aforesaid, of the said mortal sickness and distemper did die. • The rest of the instrument continues in the same vein, seemingly intent on obscuring the whole issue in the mind of the person by whom it might be read. Certainly clarity is not a conspicuous quality of it. In England, under new law, indictments are to be set forth simply, in lang uage that is direct and clear. Says the statute: The statement of offense shall describe the offense shortly, In ordinary language, avoiding as far as possible the use of technical terms, and without necessarily, stating all the essential details of the offense. And the Sun further calls attention to the fact tjiat there is even a penalty imposed by the law "where it pears to the court that an indictment contains unnecessary matter or is of unnecessary length." Lawyers, of course, have learned through experience that it pays in this coun try to conform all legal papers to style that is technically correct. But courts nowadays, fortunately, are showing a disposition to take more note of substance and less of form, and it may yet be that we shall have the simplicity here that England has already prescribed by statute.

"Well," commented her husband, to show that he was attending. "Could you let me have the car or drive me down?" she asked. "Surely you know that I have calls to make this morn ing." There was surprise in his tone. "Why don't you take a car?" "I despise a street car, and you know it. I think they are Insanitary In the first place. The last time I went down town a man right across the aisle sneezed, sneezed right there In the car, and I presume he had no Idea how much harm he was doing." "Well, he could not very well stop the ear and get off to sneeze," re marked Harry, looking at his wife over the top of his paper. "Don't be absurd," counseled his wife loftily. "Such flippancy Is unbecoming ing a doctor." "Oh, I don't know; a doctor need not object to the spread of germs; they might be useful In helping me set tle your bills at The Arcade." "I wonder at you; I really do." There was aloofness In her tone. Harry calmly read his paper, regard ing her with the tall of his eye. "This street car line has such a HI ' V ' y motley assemblage of people In it. too," continued Bertha. "I do not enjoy be ing in such a mlxup.

The judge evidently had made up his mind before the arguments began. Benson had talked for about 10 minutes when the court broke in: "No need to cite any more decisions. I overrule your demurrer." "But, if the court please," said Ben son, "1 have a section here from Black stone directlj-" "I don't care to hear it," interjected the court. "I overrule-" "I know that, your honor," suavely agreed Benson. "I know that, bat I wanted to show you what a darned fool Blackstone was."

"The auto Is an adjunct of the business, and father 1 s good enough to allow me to use it In visiting my pa tients. It looks more professional, he says, but I am not going to begin ask ing for It for all sorts of running around. Besides I start on my rounds as soon as he returns from making an early call." "Well, I do not see the good of own ing a machine if I must ride on street cars everywhere go." Ber tha's exclusive nose was In the air. '•'We own no automobile. When we get rich enough to have one of our own, I hope you can be accommo dated often, but now "1 guess I'll have to wait awhile for that time," snapped Bertha. "I agree with you there. How did you manage before you were married? Your people had no car. You must have gone In the street cars them." Harry looked at his watch and rose. "That line was different. No work ing people crowded on them, at least during the hours when I went down town." Bertha's tone was dlgcontent ed and she looked out of the window with a deep line between her brows. "There comes your father now, I believe. I will ask him to take me downtown. It would take but a few minutes." Bertha started for the door. Ralph knew there waa no love lost between hie father and hts wife. He listened with a wry smile on his face as he heard the old gentleman say: "Nay, nay, young lady; we will have to stop that business before we begin- In business hours this car is for business purposes and must not be commandeered for pleasure jaunts or shopping excursions." | Bertha swept angrily past her hus band on her way upstairs.
