Wasiiixotos, D. C , May 20.—The
war department has received from
China a petition presented to'.General
Clmffee by a mass meeting of several
thousand Chinamen who assembled in
front of the office of the provost mar-
shal at Peking, May 28th last, and sign-
ed 5,600 Chinese residents of that city,
praying the ,retention of the Ameri-
can troops. The partition told of the
good work performed by the Ameri

a majority of them formerly were em-
ployed at servants, who decided to
make a change of vocation after read-
ing the Kev. Charles M. Sheldon's new
book, "Servant Girl Question."
Mr. Sheldon'* idea is that a servant
should be treated as a member of the
family, and many girls who became
converts to that theory have quit work
because employers would not give
them the privileges demanded. There
is a dearth of servant girls here, and
wages have increased 25 per cent as a
result of Mr. Sheldon's teachings.

Proceedings in Court.
A long winded, dry railroad case
came up for trial today.
It was Sarah Mullendore vs. Eastern
Oklahoma K. R. Co. The entire fore-
noon was spent in the hearing of this j obstructe(j by vocal organs
case and in the afternoon the court and |
jury boarded a special train and went
to Mehan to the farm over which the
suit was filed. The railroad has en-
tered at the southeast corner of the
quarter and runs diagonally through
and out at the northwest corner. How-
ard and Ames of Guthrie, are attor-
neys for the plaintiff and K. A. Lowry
and Henry Asp for the defendant.
The Three Boxes-
The theme of a high school girl's or
ation was "The Threa Boxes the Bal-
lot box, the Contribution Box, and the
Hat Box." And, from the feminine
standpoint, who can doubt that the
greatest of these three is the Gainsbor-
ough'.'
