It’s the long way to the coal fields,
It’s the long way to go.
Via the Guggs white elephant,
The road that we all know;
Through the hundred miles of storn
belt,
Through the fifty feet of snow;
It’s a good road for scenery,
I ut the wrong way to go;
Lots of bridges and lots of tunnels,
li.’s the wrong way to go;
Lots of glaciers and glacier streams
It’s the longest wafr I know,
if Uncle buys the Guggs system
It wont be long until he sees
That the way to reach the coal field?
Is a railroad from good old Valdez.
Then, good-bye, Cordova,
Good-bye, Seward town;
It’s a long way to Matanuska,
So you might as well sit down.

NEW YEAR’S IN CHINA.
When All Debts Are Paid and the
Whole Country “Painted Red."
New Year's Is the national pay day
In China. All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who can’t
raise money enough to pay Ills debts
has to go Into bankruptcy. 'Hie laws
are such that the creditor can enter the
debtor’s house and take what he pleases
if there Is no settlement. To prevent
sucli action families club together and
make all sorts of compromises to keep
up the business reputation of the clan.
New Y’ear’s is a great day for the
pawnbrokers. Their shops are crowded
with people who want to redeem their
best clothes before the new year. Tliero
are crowds, also, who want to pawn
other things in order to get money to
pay their debts. Pawnbrokers receive
high rates of Interest, in which they
are protected by the government.
The Chinese paint the whole country
red, figuratively speaking, on New
Year’s day in more senses than one.
Red is the color which with them de
notes good luck and prosperity, and all
the New Year cards and in vitations are
on paper of that color. Every child
gets Its New Year’s present wrapped
in red paper, and red inscriptions are
pasted over the doors of the houses.
These inscriptions bear characters
praying for good fortune, wealth and
happiness, and they are posted on each
side of the outer doors of the houses.
New pictures of Chinese generals are
put on the front doors, and the houses
are-scoured and made clean.—Exchange.
A PAINTERS’ PARADISE.
Capri’s Quaint Inn, Where Poor Artists
Can Get Free Board.
Capri, beautiful in itself, offers an
irresistible invitation to artists, since it
tins an inn where any one. by painting
a picture on the wall, can get free
board.
To the lovely island of Capri, with
its perennial summer, its blue grotto
and its lemon groves, caine some fifty
years ago a ruined artist- He opened
an inn and died rich. In his will, leav
ing the inn to his heirs, he made these
conditions:
“The charge per day, two bottles of
red Capri wine included, is never to be
more than 0 francs.
“If any artist is too poor to pay he
shall paint a picture upon some wall
space, receiving all the accommodation
accorded to those paying the highest
price.
“If any German artist shall come to
the inn he shall be accommodated and
shall receive the amount of his fare to
Germany upon his promising never to
return to Italy.”
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions. Its walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then a German
artist gets his fare home.—Cincinnati
Enquirer.

husband had forgotten the occasion.
Mr. Walloon smiled at her frankly.
“My dear,” he said. "1 have been so
busy lately that 1 have not bad time to
buy you a birthday gift, but I’ll give
you the cow.”
She thanked him graciously. "Daisy
is a beautiful cow,” she said.
Two months later Mr. Walloon's
birthday came round. When he ap

him with a radiant smile. "My dear."
she said. “I have been so busy lately
sewing for the children that 1 haven’t
bad time to make you a birthday gift,
but I’ll give you the cow.”—Chicago
