= SEEKS LEARNING THOUGH EXILED. Noble Chinese Girl is to Study at Uni- versity of California. San Francisco, April 1.—Driven from he: home in China, with a price set upon her head by the Empress lL ager, Miss Kang, daughter of a prince of noble blood, is coming to the University of California, there to obtain the education denied her in her native land. With the priceless gift of the knowledge of the West once obtained, this girl of the nobili- ty will devote her life to the uplifting of her countrymen, who are still in the slavery from which she had fled. The story of the daring Chinese girl reads like a romance from the pages of her own folk stories. She was born in the imperial palace of the Emperor, and is the daughter of Kang Yu Wei, one of the foremost councilors of the potentate, who was deposed by the terrible old Dowager at the beginning of the Boxer move mont. Her early lite was one of hol- ow luxury such as is the lot of all noble Chinese women, Unlike most of the women of her race, Miss Kang was educated in the Chinese classics, which compromise thesum total of all honorable things, according to the Mongolian idea. But the life of the girl student began to be surrounded by clouds, which finally broke in the bloody uprising of the Boxers. Kang Yu Wei, her father, was one of the leaders of the new radical re- form movement who was highest in the councils of the Emperor, Kwang Su. He advocated the sweeping measures of reform which brought the weak ruler to ruin and forced the outbreak of the conservative Boxers, When the Emperor saw that all power had been gathered into the relentless hands of the dowager and that the revolution was imminent, he warned his minister of the danger. Under cover of the night the former councilor, with his daughter, escap- ed from the palace and dropped down the river in a boat to the protection of the European consulates at Tien- at the palace were decapitated. and his daughter departed from their native land, forever exiled and with thousands of taels set as the price of their heads. Since then the twain have wandered through Australia, Trdigand Japan, always working for tise cause for which they had suffered banishment. Now comes the daughter to take the course at Barkeley in order that shemay return to her home when the | Ouegtion of Government Aid in Cor tyrannical influence of the dowager is removed and disseminate her new- found knowledge for the good of the women of China. She is expected to arrive at the end of the present month, Cold. pay. Price 25 cents. “ARBOR DAY” IN MISSOURI. The Schovl @hildren Asked to Observe by Planting Trees. superintendent, W. T.

Mr. Swift had been suffering for ‘|eome time with bladder trouble, and a week ago an operation was deter- mined upon to give him relief. It was not expected that the operation would prove especially dangerous, and nothing happened to cause a change in this hopefulness until this morning. His improvement was stopped suddenly by a hemorrhage which the doctors were unable to check, and which caused his death in ashort time. Gustavus Franklin Swift began his business career as a butcher and died leaving a fortune estimated at from ness, and it was not long before oth- erssaw the advantages of his method and they imitated him.

Washingten Post. 4 “I am glad to be able to say that the old-time feuds which used to pre. vail in my state have died out, and that the wholesale killings which ac. companied them are nothing but un- pleasant memories,” remarked N. M. Hanson of Galveston, United States marshal for the Southern dig. trict of Texas. It was my fate to know some of the bad men who turned things up. side down in Southern Texas a quar ter of a century ago. They are about all dead, and no successors can take their place, for our people will never again tolerate such disturbers of the peace. One of the worst of the ‘bad men’ . | of that day was the notorious John Wesley Hardin. It was his boast that he had killed twenty-eight men, For a long time he was the terror of Gonzales county and of all the sur- rounding country, He wasan incor. rigible cattle and horse thief and murderer who killed without remorse, Finally aday of reckoning came and he was caught and sentenced to a twenty-five year term in the state prison at Huntsville. He wasn’t a model prisoner and had to be whip- ped a time or two, but at length he emerged from prison and went back to the ecene of his former crimes, A hot local political fight, involy. ing the election of a sheriff of Gon- a zales county, was on and Hardin © } took an active parl in the contest, He was still regarded as dangerous and greatly dreaded. One day he and the candidate against whom he was working met and a. quarrel en- sued. This candidate, Jones by name was as fearless & man as ever lived, and the way he denounced Hardin was something to be remembered. “You have” said he, “according to your own boasts, killed twenty-eight men. I am here tu say that nevera one of the lot did you slay when he had his face toward you. Every man of them was shot in the back. You are a great big coward as well as a murderer, and I will give you $1,000 if you will dare to contradict what I have said. Ican make any 16-year- old boy in town whip you.” Hardin didn’t open his mouth, but slunk away, followed by a storm of jeers. He left the country and was afterwards killed in El Paso.” Herbine Cures.
