CHINESE GUNMAN KILLED.
BATTLE WITH POLICE IN SINGAPORE.
One of the most sensational shooting
incidents since. the memorable duel between armed police and Sin Ghee-hin members. which took place in Sinkoh-street, Singapore in 1923; occurred on Saturday night, June 12 in Sago- street, when a Cantonese, believed to be a well-known bad character. was brought to bay by two detec- tives in a house, and, after a fierce exchange of shots, fatally wounded. Although rumour has it that the ture seemed inevitable, it is more Chinese took his own life when cap-
probable that he was killed by a police bullet.

ENDYMION.
How like a gem of sculptural art;
How perfect in thy every part! Around this object true and bold
Coils the envy of the youth of old.
1
Loud bades the moon the youth to cut,
To leave his favourite Grecian bout; Tells him the end of a happy day.
Oh, what unconscious bliss away!
Onto the fields with innocent head,
His flock he brings with to be fed; And down to the river bank he strolls, To lay himself down on the coles.
〃
Happy is he who 'bideth in
The realms of Nature-breft of sin. Happy the man her charges bear;
Woe to the one who doth not hear.
The aky a lighted ceiling be,
The gentle wind so lull and free, The rippling brooklet running by, Foretelleth happiness is nigh.
And in a while this beauteous form
El A highest for Creation's norm- Fell subject to his own reward,
And sleepeth to its pleasant chord.
And Dian, hunting carefreely,
Turns downward eyes, with bended knee; And makes a sweeping bar below,
Finds nothing worthy there-but, lo!
There, in a droway little grove,
Beside the lovely, peaceful cove, Chaste Dian's eyes are fixed upon
A youth bare!. O Endymion!
This sight so irresistible,
To Dian too permissible, Doth bind a goddess in transfix:
That place a wayside stop she picks.
Then with incalculable speed,
To every cry doth pay no heed, She, darteth from her lofty perch,
And to the chanced of her search.
When she but once that smooth skin feels,
Her gaping wound so sore it heals. Hark! now she hears the others come,
Their talk, their music, and their hum.
She, fearing for discovery,
Gathers herself, though hard it be. She leaves and nightly, with a kiss. jul
