Each Nation sor Itself.

This large uncertainty which is now
characterizing all things Russian adds
a now element of confusion to the al
ready complex and doubtful situation in
the far east. 1t is understood here
that England has made proposals for
joint action of the powers in the Pa
ciflc and has been refused by all save
Italy. Whether this be true or based
only on the general failure of the
present foreign Office administration to
do the things it wants to do is not
clear, but the tone Of the scmi-oflicial
papers in Berlin, Vienna, and Paris
alike, makes it apparent that nobody
intends to risk scorching for the sake
of bringing the British chestnuts out
of the fire. The issues involved in the
China-Japanese struggle are too big
and the chances of individual profit, In
case of q general oriental breaking up,
are too fascinating for any power to sur
render thus early the advantage OF
free hand.

each selling a different line of goods.
They were good companions, and in

One night the drummer was awalz-
encd from sleep by n ruStling noise
near the window. The moonlight
streaming in revealed the figure of n
fully dressed man crossing the room
toward the door.
Suspccting that it was a sneak thief,
the drummer reached out his hand to
arouse his bcdfellow. His companion
was not in the bed. In an instant he
recognized the figure of his friend at
the door, and called him by name sew
eral times.
There was no reply except a strange,
| cultural clucl1ing at the throat. The
silent figure paced twice across the
floor, and then opened the door and

The drummer sprang out of bed,
| quickly dressed himself, and hurried to
the hotel Office. where he told the night
clerk what had happened. AS they
were talking together his friend came
down the stairway, walked through
the hall into the empty dining-room,
and rapidly strode up and down. He
was in his stocking feet, but otherwise
was carefully dressed.
The two witnesses approached and
spoke to him, but he took no notice of
them, and apparently was anxious to
avoid them. Finally he started up
stairs, muttering tohimsclf. and, going
to his room, quietly undrcsscd and went
to bed, turning off tho gas at the last
moment. His friend had followed him
into the room, and remained Il silent
witness of these strange proceedings.
The drummer could not sleep until
the mystery was explained. Going to
the bedside, he called his companion by
name, but could not arouse him; then
shook him violently by the shoulders,
and finally awakened him from an
astonishingly deep slumber.

and counters.
"When you advertise something of special
interest in the papers fill the window with II
and have it prominently displayed in the
store. Have some neat tickets painted and
hung up above or near the goods.
"Be sure the clerks all know what is going
on. If / were running a store would make

have them understand just what | was trying
TO do with each advertlsemet-just what he
