This noble work has been indiffer.
emily assigned to various periods; the
most general opinion, however, pro-
nounces it to be a copy of an earlier
work of Alkamenes, or possibly kephI-
SodotoS.

trcmities seems to betray the hand of a

Certainly When I first heard Of
the case l called at the 80, ur.lnent
house and talked the matter over with
L" s.dcnt Dole. l expressed the wish
t. have the matter settled amicably,
, AMI President Dole told me he had
already sent an official communication
10 the delegation. Before / received
the request for his surrender the matter
was public talk in the streets. Then
was called upon by Il deputy marshal,
whom informed was not the proper per-
son to make the demand upon me.
Later on, Il jailer, or some person en-
ployed around the prison, demanded
Il permit to board the Naniwa and
remove the prisoner. | do not like to
appear antagonistic to this government,
but l thought it best to cali Il halt.
In the evening two members of the
advisory board called upon me and
suggested that the matter be amicably
arranged and l told him that ii was
too late. My government would have
to settle it
How is the man treated on board
of the Naniwa-:ls Il prisoner, or is he
He is in Il way confined; perhaps
not in the same sense rs if he was in

NiSion;ll government. | suppose YOU

Yes, and | deplore the fact That
and the report that Japan wants the
islands are pure fahricationS. 1t would
be nonsense for Japan to assume con-
troll here SO far from home. The cx-
pense, too, of conducting Il government
under such circumstances would nat
urally be enormous and out Of all pro-
pogtion to the benefits to be derived"
You simply don't want them?"
That is what it amounts to, and
the l1lmors that the Naniwa is here
for the purpose of hoisting the Japan
csc flag are stuff and nonsense | re-,

A MEXICAN LOVE DANCE.
4 Detroit Girls Experience at Great
State Ball

Detroit News: 1t was at one of
those beautiful and brilliant balls in the
city of Mexico, that this incident hap

Gently, who had travelled considerably
AT the hight of the fashionable season
we came to the city, and by invitation

only girl of sixteen, but, knowing
how to dance, I went with the older
folks
'As | sat in a seat watching the
dancers as they twirled first this and
then that way, it seemed as though /
were i'll paradise. Suddenly the music
stopped. Some of the dancers kept on,
while the others sat and talked. or else
drank cocoa from tiny porcelain cups.
A Mexican, one of those wild look
ing fellows, dressed in a rough garb,
but still a gentleman, was introduced
by a mutual acquaintance and he asked
to have the next dance with me- I
couldn't we'll refuse, and as there was
Il twinkle in his eyes that made me
think of the American boys at home,
l accepted. At that period l could
speak neither French nor Spanish, and
us my partner could not speak English,
except enough to ask me to dance, we
were silent. The musicians began play
ing slow music, and with the help Of
my partner | learned the dance easily.

myself from my new friend. What q
relief it was when the dance did stop.

We read much in the eastern papers
Us to the supreme value of chemicals
and clover. Under eastern conditions
we believe in this combination. I'm
der prairie conditions we do not The
reason the combination SUCCEEDS il,
the east is because the potash and
phosphoric acid have been largely with
drawn from the soil by continued
cropping, and the commercial fertilizers
are comparatively cheap. In the eX-
IRENE west this loss of inorganic fertili-
ty has not yet taken place to any extent
and for the tine being, clover fills tho
bill completely without chemicals. 1t
is SO over ii very large part of Wiscon-
sin. Where by reason of the natural
poverty of the soil in potash and phos-
phorlc acid, clover does not succeed,
the proper thing to use is wood ashes.
instead of purchasing chemicals Tn
bleached wood ashes contain potash and
phosphoric acid in Il large supply, and
with these, Witch are readily available
in the districts where they are most
needed, there should not be an acre of
agricultural land in Wisconsin that will
not grow clover to perfection. There is
4 vast amout of waste going on each
year in different countries because farm
ers do not realize the value of wood
ashes.
