Monsieur Du Patty de Clam Towns

be dissatisfied He declared In his
account of the affair that ''skin
games" were to be observed on every
hand whereby the guileless visitor wss
made to part with his cherished coin.
The judge must have been q closer
observer than the members of the
committee in charge, for no such lay
outs or fake games to which the judge
seems to allude, were allowed on the
grounds or carried on in the city to
the knowledge of the committee. Can
it be possible that the editar Of the

ture and ''nose for news" patronized
q certain ''skin game which rumor
declares was conducted amidst the

USE OF TIE HUMP.
The Satisfactory Answer That WA
Given an lnquisitive Stranger
at the Zoo,

There are some men in this world
who can answer any question that is
put 10 them, and sometimes when they
do not really know what they are talk
ing about they will give answers that
are not at all bad. One of these persons
was once "A keeper of the London zoo.
Ne was pestered 10 death by the ques.
tions which people asked, but he always
gave an answer. On a recent occasion
"a countryman strolled in, and, after
looking curiously at the camel for a
few moments, he turned to the keeper
and said:
Il say, mister, what's he have hump
for?"
What does he have hump for?" re,
peateG the keeper.
Yes. What's the good Of it?" ask cd
the visitor.
why crit makes a camel of him,
of course" replied the keeper after
some hesitation. people wouldn't trav.

that hump. Fact is, without it, he
might as well be cow"

multitude of fishing and coasting craft
in japanese waters.
But any comparison of men and ships
between the two nations would be far
from complete without some reference
TO the conditions under which they
would probably fight, as well as the in
ability of Russia to utilize her entire
army in warfare with the Japs.
war between these two nations
would undoubtedly be fought in the
east, to reach which Russia would have
TO transport her troops across the wide
reaches of Siberia. At the present time
that would not be an easy matter to
accomplish, for as yet the Siberian rail
way, of which so much is expected, is
far from complete, and even that part
of ii which is finished is not equipped
for the transportation of large bodies
of troops. Russia world also have to

SHOULD THE GAR AND THE

Comparison of the Military Forces Which
Russia and Japan Could Put in the Field.

Der of Russia's ships is 3h times great
err than that of Japan, Russia having
24O vessels of all classes, to 20 for Japan.
But such figures express a greater adj
vantage than Russia possesses, for her
navy is not as modern as that of Japan,
and, besides, she has greater proper
ton of light boats of the torpedo class
than Japan has. OF the boats now be-
ing built both nations have almost an
equal number Russia having 80 and
japan 90 now under construction.
In men Russia has a naval force of
4l,915 enlisted men to man the guns of
her fleet, while Japan has but about
Is. 900 in the same class. But Japan has
a larger class of seafaring men to re-
cruit her naval service from than has
Russia. In case of war the little island
empire could place large force of sea-
