GRAPES CAI'SED TROUBLE.
An effectual blockade of operations
on the repairs of the South Bromley
acnue sewer occurred Wednesday
morning which used up the entire
morning. It wns only one lone man
against fifty, but this one won. Shortly
before noon one of tho contiactlng firm
of rianagan S, O'Horo, who are do
ing tho work, appeared and an amic
able settlement of the dlfllculty was
effected.
It seems that during the continuance
of the work of repairing tho sewer the
laborers' tools were being left oer
night In a vacant bnrn. This kind
ness wns extended by John Wheeler,
of 103 South Bromley avenue. Each
night the tools were carried Into the
barn and each morning out again.
Now, Mr. Wheeler has a largo grape
harbor which contains a large Ine of
beautiful late grapes. This vine Is the
care and pride of Its owner. Well,
from time to time he noticed that
grapes were missing, but being of a
generously Inclined turn of mind, he
mudc no objection. Later, however,
great quantities began to disappear.
He kept watch and decided that there
was a difference between kindness and
wanton abuse of It, so he called a halt.
Wednesday mninlng, no work. Tho
lnboreis could not procure the tools,
and Mr. Wheeler asked for a small
recompense for his lost grapes and
broken iues. Atgument pioved use
less nnd time went by. At last ono
of the contraetois came upon the scene,
and, nfter a short talk, the tools wero
released and all went smoothlv along
once moi e. No more grapes w ent, how
ever. FOOT BALL TO THE FRONT.

hero this morning. He says. "I never
saw such n man as our senior major
general. He Is iib active physically as
he is mentally. To use a common, but
very expressive phrase, 'There Is not a
lazy bone In his body.' Moreover, no
lazy man cnu remain with him long,
He puts on no stylo and thinks nothing
of his personal appearance, when he Is
In tho field. His entire soul Is absorbed
In his work. When there was dlfllculty
In unloading transports, and when the
olllcers seemed to be In the least In
capable of performing their duty he
went to work himself like a hired man,
and his staff olllcers went to woik, too
There was no standing uiound and
looking on at anything.
"General Miles worked live a beuver
at everything. He was Intently alert,
personally looking nfter every branch
of the army. Ho was at all paits of

pal tment was up to date with food for
tho men. He personally saw that medi
cal supplies were on hand, and that
the medical olllcers were In their places,
ready for every duty. I did not know
him in Washington, and It may be Hue
that he is diessy and stllsh In his
appeal ance, but I saw him dally In the
Held, nnd his personal appearance was
certainly never considered by himself.
His whole mind was on his at my, Its
comfort and success Ho kept over
body on the move. Moreover, Ills or
ders were obeved with alacrity
"Every man that seived under Gen
eral Miles admit ed him, nnd all weto
willing to go wherever lie might lead
or dliect. Soldiers who have served
under him for jears say that his sol
diers have alwavs been eager to obey
htm, nnd In every way manifest their
confidence In him and regard for him.
I havo never been a hero woishiper,
but I am a very warm udmher of Gen
eial Miles."
CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.
Stiange Ideas of Economy, Polite
ness and Gratitude.
From the St. Louis Hcpuhllc
The spirit of ecunomy in tho Chinese
race ttanscends nil that can bo Imag
ined. Tile smallest paitlclc ot matter
Is utilized. The old cast-off account
book of the met chant is cut Into pieces
and oiled to setve, Instead of class, In
windows of lanterns, A coolie who has
a six hours' maicli with a heavy htii
den will return to his point of depart
ure without having biokcn ills fast, In
ordei to save the two cents his lueak
fast would have cost away fiom home.
Nothing is moi e cuiious than to sec
them cat. although, with their famous
chopsticks, they do not perform all the
wonderful feats generally supposed.
Everv thing Is served them in bowls or
saucers, and with the chopsticks they
raise the pieces of meat or fish to the
mouth with sulllcient glace. Each one
has a bowl of rice, which he holds near
his lips, and w 1th the aid ot the chop
sticks he pushes the contents Into his
mouth. It is curious to see them pick
up with their chopsticks the grains of
lice that tall on the ground. The chil
dren are taught this ait fiom their
earliest yeais. nothing must bo lost,
not even the smallest grain
Europeans, regard politeness as nn
expression of those qiu'lltles of tho
heait which render the peison who de
sires to bo polite agreeable to those
with whOTi he Is thrown. Chinese look
upon tho matter fiom an entliely dif
ferent standpoint. The same sentiment
which accords Impoitatico to the pius
ervatlon of dignity tegulates his ac
tions as regards politeness Hero Is an
example of their politeness A Chinese,
arrayed In his most beautiful costume,
who piesented himself nt u house, dls
tuibed a rat which was enjoying him
self in a Jar of oil The rat in his flight
overturned the Jat upon the visltoi,
whose dress was ruined While tho
unfortunate visitor was still palo -vlth
rage his host entered the npartmenl,
and after the usual salutation tho vis
itor explained his mlsadventuie: "As
I entered your honorable npai tment I
had tho misfortune to alarm our hon
orable rat, which In taking flight over
turned your honorable Jar of oil upon
my miserable and Insignificant cloth
ing, which explains the contemptible
condition In which ou find me In your
honorable presence."
To determine your conduct when a
Chinese offers you a present is the most
dllllcult thing In the world. Certain
things are not offered to bo accepted,
and others may not be refused per
emptorily. In a general manner, never
theless, ono may accept, undei stand
ing perfectly that the gift must be re
turned a hundred fold.
