European powers and the Little
Brown people may now be on
| the very best of terms or the
/ triple alliance may be moving ON
Japan like a dragon, Russia IN
! the lead. The protesting nations
object to the acquisition OF terri
tory in China by Japan. The
situation is odd and interesting
in many views. The combined
navles of Russia, France and
/ Germany make a strength at
least five times greater than
| Iapan's power at sea. The latter
country can possibly muster an
army of half million. Russia
has available in Europe alone Tor
military duty 22,OoO,oCO men,
with its hordes of subjects in
Tartary and Asia to draw upon
Russia is terrible fighter. Eng.
land was going to wind up the
Crmcan affair in few winter
months. She was two years at
! it. being half of that time before
Scbastopol. Japan is glorious at
battle, but will enter such a con-
fict as is IN prospect with dis
couraging odds against her,
After the Paris demonstrations
against Germany a few months
ago it is surprising to see the
two in a combine. Nations are
but big families after all. They
say that those great good friends,
} Great Britain and the United
a States are going to take hand
f in this affair. England is the
friend in a way of China and
' from policy the opponent OF all
other European nations. The
> United States and Great Britain
h are friends because they like
II each other pretty well and each
= has a pretty high opinion of the
J. cleverness of the other. II trou-
BILE ensues, as outlined above,
Hawaii will be the greatest stor-
IS age and trading point on earth
!, and everybody will have money

es Fadden says. And all this talk
of of fighting and eagerness to fight
to and preparation to fight anc
lie instinct to bully and cheat anc
grab after 1000 years OF trium
plant Christianity. Truly, mar
1t is a slow student.
v While there is plenty of water
we would advise the people who
like a lawn that is bright and
Il green to come in and examine
y our Lawn Sprlnklers. We have
If nice, compact, neat, nickel
5. plated, revolving sprinkler called
the MikadO, not made in Japan
it though.
= 1t throws steady sprays, and
= thoroughly and evenly vets a
= large circle of grass plot. The
IS old reliable California Lawn
: Sprinkler with its four branch
d ing arms is too well known by
the people here to need any
praise for its work. We can re-
: commend either sprinkler as
1t being first-Class.
Ia Do your screen doors slam,
= and make you nervous when
~ they open and shut? We have
,e a device that we put on screen
r, doors called the Caldwell door
spring, 1t closes the door
S. effectually and noiselessly. Nc
matter how mad you are whel
re you go out, or how hard you
,r slam the door, it shuts so quietly
" you can not waken the baby
eu and your wife can smile anC
it have a good laugh instead of
or good cry, These are air springs
tn The door partly closes ant
be and then stops, and shuts tn
rest of the way as slowly ant
easily as the breath OF a gent
Zephyr. With these spring
IS screen doors ought to last twic
D. as long. Come in and see hoy
nd nicely they work.
