TOMORROW.
Perhaps there'll be sunshine tomorrow; today things are dismal and
grim; my cup and my saucer of sorrow are bitter and full to the brim.
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.
But there will be sunshine, tomorrow, the skies will be glittering blue.
There's jiothing so transient as sorrow, when once we remark to It
"Shoo!"
1 weep as I empty the chalice of bitterness, down to its dregs;

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. '

the top of his paper.
"Don't be absurd," counseled his wife
loftily. "Such flippancy Is unbecoming

"Oh, I don't know; a doctor need

"It's five miles to town," snapped
Bertlyi.
"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

around. Besides I start on my rounds
as soon as he returns from making an
early call."

"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

Borne by love or hate along;
Some to see their dear one die.

Mark the agonizing pain;
Then the cross they quick upraise
To the scoffing rabble's gaze.

Tortures are their pain's first pang.

Darkness, like a funeral pall
Fulls at noon upon them all;
Birds are hushed to sleep and rest.
Brooding in each downy nest;
Fleeing all In sudden fright
Beast and fowl go from the night.
Terror on the people fell
Like a gruesome deadly spell.
Darker grows the inky sky!
Where, for sufety, shall they fly?
Wailing, weeping, stand they there.
Some blaspheming, some in prayer.
Hark! 'Tis Jesus, hear Him cry,
"Elol! lama sabacth&ni."
Three dark hours, came, and went
After qoon—His life was spent;
Once again to God, He cried,
Meekly bowed his head—and died!!

Sunless, moonless, earth was curst.
Graves were opened, death bonds burst.
Then the Temple's veil was rent
By an earthquake, heaven sent.
Quaked the earth and rent the rocks
By the greatness of the shocks;
Shone once more the sun's bright ray,
Shone until the close of day.
Night has fallen! Jesus dead!
Lowly lies His crowned head;
From the wrath of angry foe
Bear Hig body, silent, slow;
Seven mourners; Christ they bear
To Hifc tomb and lay Him there;
All their hopes of Him are o'er.
Desolate, and stricken, sore;
Faith Is dead, and so they sleep
While the angels, vigil keep.

The Naughty Little Breeze Turns Good
'A bit or Sriirisn mois hung down
from a great branch of a live oak
tree and swayed gracefully to and
"How happy I am," said the moss
to herself. "I can lire all my life in
this beautiful tree; I can feel the
warm sunshine, but the kind tree
protects me from the heat; I can en
joy the fresh breezes but the firm
limbs of the tree save me from storm.
Indeed I am happy."
"Now that's a stupid way to talk,"
said a naughty breeze who was pass
ing just then. "Think how much of
the world you misB!"
"So-o," cried the moss wonderlng
ly, "surely not! This tree Is a beau
tiful place to live and I am most
happy!"
"That's because you know no bet
ter," scoffed the breeze spitefully.
"If you could travel all over the coun
try as I do, you would feel sorry that
you are only a bit of moss clinging to
a tree—nothing about that to make
you happy! 1 feel sorry for you!"
And with that rude remark, the
naughty little breeze blew away.
"There!" he said to himself cross
ly. "I guess I've made that little bit
•f moss unhappy and I feel better!"
Bo, feeling better for letting out his
temper, the little breeze blew down
toward the ocean.
But, dear me! The feeling better
didn't last—-not a minute!
The bubbles of foam welcomed the
little breese (they didn't of course
fro.
guess how naughty he had been!)
and begged him to blow them up tho
beach. But the little breeze some
way just could not blow. He kept
thinking and thinking and thinking
of that poor little bit of moes that he

should have left it alone. I think I'll
go and take back what I said. Then
the moes can be happy again."
