WHITE SLAVES.
Efforts Making to Stop the Cursed
 Traffe in Russia.

Efforts Making tO Stop the Cursed
 Trame in Russia.
 St. Petersburg Cor. New York Times: In view of the International Congress to be held in London at the end of the present month for the dis cussion of the best measure to be taken for the prevention of the white slave" traffic, the Novosti has lately been publishing detailed accounts of the manner in which this business is car ried on in Russia The trade has de- Yeioped to a great extent in the past few years throughout Western Europe but the town of Jassy is it's center The women are bought, particularly at Leipsie, during the great annual fair. but It is the capital of Moldavia, which Is the central point of the traffic, jus: as hhartoum was formerly the mar. ket place for the human merchandise imported from Abyssinia and Central Africa From Jassy the merchandise fls directed to Russia and Turkey. Next to Jassy, Brussels has become the most important center for this business. The white slaves destined for Russia are generally sent to Riga or to Wilma, where the wholesale merchants from St. Petersburg and Moscow meet to make their selections. These they transfer at once to the principal cities of the empire and to the remote prov, lnees of Siberia. There was recently arrested in Odessa an agent of the principal Russian white slave mer- chants, and at his residence a voIumi- nous correspondence. with sub-agents at Jassy, Brussels, Riga and elsewhere. was found. Thanks to this edifying correspondence, the Russian police as eertained that white slave agencies ex- lst throughout Russia, in rural dis tricts as we'll as in the principal cities and towns. In some of these letters the sub-agents mentioned that they had exceptionally fine merchandise at relatively low price, five parcels (sic) in all. Then there followed a detailed description of the goods. The Odessa agent in question has been exiled to Siberia, where he will spend the next ten years. From what hear, the Rus sian government considers the white slave traffic as an international curse, which can only be successfully eradi- cated by the united efforts of all civil- ized nations. It is we'll known that the czarina Is herself deeply interested in this matter.

The Stolen Baby.

The sympathies of the whole coun- try were aroused by the recent abduc- ton from New York city and the sub- sequent recovery of little Marion Clark, a baby twenty months old. Many aspects of this case are worthy of study In earlier days it was com paratiyely easy act to steal child and carry it where it's identity was lost, while the bereaved parents were left without hope of it's return. Such cases were so common that the accidental re- union of parents with their long-lost children became a familiar feature in literature and on the stage. The prompt recovery of the Clark baby shows that, while the world is all the time growing larger, in another sense it is constantly decreasing in size. The growth of great modern cities and the free movement of people from place to place, would at first seem to make it much easier to carry out successfully a crime of this kind today than it was in the past, but modern inventions have more than offset these changed condi- tions of society. When this child was stolen, such glare of publicity was thrown upon the crime that no nook or corner of this great country could long afford the criminal a hiding place. The telegraph, the steam railroad, the per fected police system, all lent their aid, but more valuable than all else were the services of photography and the newspapers. The daily journals so faithfully reproduced the baby's por- trait that young woman in a country postoffice, as soon as she saw the strange child, said: 'sWhy, that looks like Marion Clark" The modern daily press has many faults, but occasionally it performs service so important aa somewhat to condone them.

WATCHES IN THE PAwNsHoPs.
Always the First Articles to Be Pledged
 in Distress.

In Dl8tr6sBs
 Most people suppose" said down town pawnbroker, the other evening, according to the Baltimore News, "that when a man goes broke the first thing he thinks of pawning is his dress suit, but that's not so. While there might be some that do this, they are few and far between. By long odds, the great majority of those In distress first put up their watches. Tn big city like this, with clocks on every hand, a watch is almost an unneces- sary luxury on the street, and so this Is the first article pawned. Watches are, so to speak, a drug in the pawn shop. We get so many of them that we often wonder where they come from. You might think that We never would have occasion to lend money on wedding rings, but you would be wrong. for we have several of them now. A woman must be in distress to pledge her wedding ring, and yet 1t is often done. We have engagement rings, too, but not so many in num- Der as wedding rings. Sometimes men pawn engagement rings. We simply take that as sign that they have broken an engagement, but when woman comes to us with one of them we know she needs money. I've made quite study of pawnshops." contin- ued the broker, land I find that in the majority of cases the dress of the per- son asking for loan on some article has great deal to do with the amount received. If the pawnbroker sees a well-dressed person in front Of him he will naturally argue that he or she ls little short of funds for the time be- ing, but will return and take the article out of pledge in few days. If, on the contrary, the person asking loan be poorly dressed, there Is little chance that he or she will get a fair amount on it. Tn the latter case the pawn broker usually offers only what he

En the California theater. San Fran Cisco, the other night, Otto Kawakami and Mime. Yaeeo and their company of rising Japanese actors and ao. tresses" appeared for the first time in America, in no less than four different pieces. At first sight and sound the native Japanese drama Is rather a diff fica.t problem. It's tragedy does not make serious dent in the American auditor, and it's comedy does not strike him as the most joyous thing In the world. The Japanese actor, one finds. expresses pathos though his nose; be- rotcs, in blind staggers. and humor in acrobattc fip-faps. He snuffies when he is saddest. And as there was great deal of sadness in the frst two pieces presented last night, there was deal of snuff1ing. Our Japanese townfolk filled the gallery and seemed to find delight in these nasal speclal- ties. but the people downstairs didn't appear to know just how to take them. The plays are childishly primitive and with the aid of the arguments print ed in the programme, quite intelligible. The first one, "The Duel" displays beautiful scenery and costumes and diyerting sword fight The second, "Kosunoki." Is full of fights, during which the actors employ themselves in many realistic tumbles from pile of stage rocks some fifteen feet in height. Hypnotism also seems to have place in this piece, as one mo- tiees that many Japs fall down van quished at the mere glance of the hot eyed hero. The most interesting in plot is The Temjye of Dojoji," which Is built around the Japanese legend of the bell in which the lovers hide and are cremated by the jealous woman's wrath. In this Mime. Yacco, who i'm personates the vengeful rival. executes dance that Is full of unique steps and poses. The performance closes witt what Is archly entitled Dewey Dag Celebration on the Pine Fringed Shores of Miho." Here the Geisha dances are introduced with pleasing result. An other diversion that comes earlier in the programme is song, accompanied by the characteristic Japanese instru- ment, the shamisen. The song itself Is long-volced falsetto and painful to the ears, but the accompaniment is ln
 teresting from a technical standpoint at least. Cut to practical proportions. this Japanese show ought to have a curious interest for all play -goers. But in it's present shape the Jap auditors seem to have most of the fun. As a picture, it is well worth taking in, the scenery Is striking and the costumes are splendid. It is quite like an ani- mated Japanese screen.

GOLF AS A TEMPER TEST.
a Luckless Player Demonstrate.
How Easy 1t Is to Control
Ones Self.

A golf story which should certainly be
added to the already excellent number to
which the game has given birth possesses
an advantage which cannot be claimed for
all Of them, that Of being absolutely authen-
tic. An enthusiast, who was somewhat of a
tyro at golf, though of great distinction at
other forms of athletics, had series of mis-
fortunes with which most people can sympa-
thize. He was playing against man whose
opinion he valued, and he consistently topped
his ball, sliced it, pulled it,, lifted it into a
tree, played fine cleek stroke into bunker,
and made extraordinary straight long-dis
lance puts in which the ball hoped genially
across the hole into the long grass which
skirted the green.
At first the players demeanor was omi-
nously sweet; he seemed positively to enjoy
his strokes; then he grew mad; then he grew
apparently careless, though his caddie no.
ticed the carelessless was only assumed, as
he was pressing horribly. The worst of golf
is that you can never deceive either your
caddie or your ball. At last, at the seventh
hole, he grew wonderfully calm, and marched
off to the next teeing ground, remarlxing to
his trembling caddie that he would not
trouble to hole out. After an easy prelim-
mary swing or two he topped his ball, which
trickled away about 20 yards to the right.
Then the man took all his clubs and broke
them one by one across his knee, remarking
quietly to his opponent that "it is better to
break your internal clubs than to lose your
internal temper. London Telegraph.

TEE WEIGHT OF HOGS.
Packers Now Prefer the 15O-Pound
Animal to the Heavy Porkers
Of Other Years.

We are told and impressed BY the
authorities in the provision trade that
there is no possible chance that heavy
hogs will be in favor for considerable
time, it ever again, says Texas Stock
Journal. This view we are informed
is based upon the requirements of con-
sumers and the retail and export trade.
Formerly a packing hog was heavy at
$50 to $50 pounds; now packing hogs
are considered heavy at 2ao pounds.
Packers get all the lard they can pos
sibly handle without buying single
lard hog. The best marketable weight
now is about $50 pounds, and the best
sall-around porker does not exceed 225
pounds. although that weight is too
heavy to-day to sell well. Farmers who
make their hogs too heavy to suit the
buyers must expect to get low prices,
as the light weights bring the most
money. The sides are manipulated into
breakfast bacon, canvased and sold
for eight to ten cents per pound, shoul-
ders converted into .California hams
and retailed for ten cents per pound !;
the hams are small and sell readily for
1914 cents, and some with an extra fin
ishing touch retail for as much as Is
cents per pound. Then, isn'tit strange,
taking into consideration the above
facts, that our farmers and feeders will
continue to feed after their pigs are
thoroughly ripe for market, while with
every breath the packer is saying to
them: IF you feed another feed, I'll
dock you" What is to their interest,
the same is to our interest. Then it
behooves us to reach out for quick.
groWthy, fatten-at-any-age pigs, and six
months after the pig is narrowed turn
him over to the packers, who in return
will pay you more than if you had fed
it seven months, SO far as profit is con-
cerned,

New Corn Make. cholera.

The fact that new corn and. hog chol-
era get ripe about the same time every
year leads many pretty good hogmen to
believe that feeding new corn, or rath-
Ell. green corn, makes what hog chol-
era we have. While we no doubt would
have plenty of cholera if none of the
corn was fed until thoroughly ripe, there
is little doubt that the careless feeding
of green corn has sent many porker
to an untimely end. A great many
farmers allow their hogs to go through
the summer with noticed and then when
new corn comes there is at once an
anxious effort manifest to make up for
lost time and to get the hogs ready for
market in the shortest possible time.
which is by no means always the best
for the hogs or the oWner.-L. .. Way

The pun fell with dull, sickening thud.
But the man who smoked stogies came to

Like the ineendiary, Ell? There is some
similarity. He was there because of his
habit of making light of things"
The blossomy man refused to be silent.
"But did you hear about the forger?"
l"No. Why?"

The man with the stogie meditated.

THE THINGS WORTH wHIEL.

Oh, the things worth while! the things
worth while!
The winning word of kindness that's the
artist of smile;
The sunny smile that sparkles, rejecting in
it's beams
The largess Of devotion and the liberty of
dreams;
The willing ear that hearkens to the melo-
3s4s dies Of bees
That hum and birds that twitter in the
flowers and the trees;
The happy heart responsive to the touch
of kindly hands
That beckon up and onward to the lovely
Lotus lands. 4.
Yea, the things worth while! the things
worth while!
The CHEEKY thoughts we cherish, with
naught of gloom or guile;
The wholesome hope of heaven, and the
sweet SurceaSe of care ~
We find in lowly homesteads, for love
makes heaven there!
The lisping children $ prattle, the mothers
Groom, the dear,
Delicious warmth of feeling In the fire
sides rosy cheer,
When the mellow lamp is lighted and the
apples on the hearth
Are sizzling in the radiance Of the dearest
place on earth.
All, the things worth while! the things
worth while s
The tender recollection of the low seat on
the stile,
When the katydids were calling and the
owlet's answer shrill
Grew mellow as it mingled with the music
of the mill;
The buoyant dreams that dubbed like the
water in the race,
The lifting inspiration of an unforgotten
face;
The toll by sweet devotion made marvel
ously light;
Love, and and it's living fervor, its mystery
and might!
So, the things worth while, the things
worth while!
Let's garner them and guard them and
rear a radiant pile
OF golden deeds and memories, with dia-
mond hopes impearled-
A castle made impregnable against the
warning world,
Wherein our days shall blossom, our nights
shall bloom with stars
And let so by the malice, the fruitless
strife that mars.
So 1ife's serener visions shall all the hours
beguile -t.s. .s
If only we shall treasure just the things
worth while!
