The Read 20 weaath.

. In my opinion, the secret Of money
making depends chiefly upon five
things push, -squareness," clear head
edness, economy and rigid adherence
to the rule Of not overwotktng. Too
much work Is worse than no work at
all. It undermines the constitution
and units a man mentally and phys
ically for the battle Of life. Ten hours
. day Of steady work IS as much as any
man-no matter how robust-ought to
attempt. IN addition to these things,
avoid being too grasping; better make
a small profit by sure means than at
tempt to make larger one by uncer-
tain and risky Observation-Disclosures

THE PROFESSORS PRIZE.

It Was Something He Could Beat.
but II Got the Best Of Him.
One evening last winter one Of Adel-
bert's popular professors attended
social function where the guests play
ed progressive pedro, game in which
the worthy educator lays no claim to
being an expert In fact, on the pres
ent occasion he was credited with but
two progressions. a score of really as
tonishing smallness Naturally, what
is termed the ''booby prize" fell to him,
and this time 1t took the form Of
double yolk egg with the following
sarcastic legend attached:
"Something you can beat"
The professor smilingly accepted the
reward, and after It was passed around
and joked upon he finally slipped it
into the side pocket of his overcoat
and then straightway forgot it's exist
ence. . q s...- .
When the party broke up, he accom-
panied two young ladies' to their
home. When they reached the house
and the latchkey was produced and
used, 1t was found that the front door
was locked so tightly that it refused
to yield to ordinary pressure. So the
professor put his hip against a panel
and pushed hard
There was dull crash, mild yell,
the professor leaped in the air and
convulsively clutched at his side.
The double yolk had exploded!
A moment later the afflicted educator
gingerly drew from his pocket a pair
Of exceedingly yellow gloves, followed
by muf1er Of the same gaudy tint
And the ladies leaned against the rail-
ing and laughed until they cried
OF course they promised not to tell,
but in some unfathomed way the story
like the egg-eaked out.-Cleveland

PEK1S, Feb. 20. "A serious conflict

DETROIT. Mich. Feb. 60 Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, en- route from
Chicago to the east, was seen in Detroit
while on passage in relation to the bat
tie in China at Tai Lien Wan between
Russians and Chinese. Lord Beresford
informed the Associated Press repre-
sentative that such battle was what
he had been expecting for some time
and that the battle would shake the
Chinese government more than any
thing that has occurred. and trade
would also suffer. Tai Lien is about
100 miles from Port Arthur, the Rus
sian coaling station ard headquarters in
China. In and abo7't the two places
was Russian army OF from 1900 to
10000 men. The Chinese army in Map

are situated, consists of about 10000
men, Of whom, however, but 5000 are
sufficiently drilled to be of any use in
actual warfare.

SHOOT FROM THE JUNGLE,

Open Attack.

Open Attack.
MANILA, Feb. 2O.--The enemy has
apparently realized the hopelessness Of
attacking; lie American position and
are occupyil:;; themselves with occas-
ional sharpshooting from the Jungle
Fortunately their ignorance Of the use
of sights minlmizes the effect of their
tactics.
The retirement of General Kings
advance posts on San Pedro Macati has
evidently been construed by the rebels
as sign Of weakness, as they pressed
forward along both sides Of the river,
persistently harrassing the occupants
Of the town. During the night the
rebels poured volley after volley into
San Pedro Macati from the brush on
the adjacent ridges, but fortunately
without effect. General Kings head
quarters in the center of the town was
the target for scores of Remington and
Mauser bullets. The rebels are using
smokeless powder and it is extremely
difficult to locate individual marks1nen.

MANILA. Feb. 20.-The heat is very

those who are compelled to work in The
open. have been affected. It will prob
ably be warmer from now on until the
rainy season.
The rebels have been concentrating
south Of the Pasig river, in front Of
Brigadier General Ovenshine's lines, on
the right, all day long. The country in
the vicinity is particularly thick jungle,
extending for miles. The scouts report
that the rebels are apparently coming
from Laguna and Cavite provinces. The
Americans are strongly entrenched from
the beach to the Pasig.

volunteers abandoned the Guadalupe
church at 3 q. M, which has since been
set on fire, and retired to San Pedro Ma
cati The insurgents still hold the
country in the vicinity of Guadalupe,
Fasig and Patero, despite the efforts of
the gunboats to dislodge them.
In view of the fact that the enemy
was concentrating ON the American
right flank preparations were made to
give them warm reception in the
event of an attack. General Ovenshine's
line, consisting Of the North Dakota
volunteers, Fourteenth infantry and
two troops of the Fourth cavalry, was
reinforced b two battalions of Oregon
volunteers and three troops Of the
Fourth cavalry. The Buffalo's search
light, discovering the
Rebels Unusually Active
about 10 o'clock in the evening, sig
nailed the flagship for permission to fire
upon them, and, this being granted
bombarded the enemy's trenches for
about 20 minutes. The only effect Of
the fire was apparently to drive the
rebels further inland. Beyond few
Intellectual volleys from tie trenches
the enemy made no demonstration and
all is quiet along the rest Of the line.
Scouts claim to have seen General
Pho de Pillar, who commanded the reD-
els at Pace, with his arm in sling d.
recting the troops. General Monte
negro, the insurgent commander-in-
chief, is reported to be personally con-
Quoting the movements in front OF Gen
eral Kings line at San Pedro Macati.
