Japan has ben indulging in extensive
naval maneuvers. ending with a grand
spectacular review by the Emperor. 1t
Is g great pity that militarlsm has
transformed that picturesque and ur-
bane people to the infinite hurt. The
pace has been too swift and bank
ruptcy is imminent: indeed might have
come before this but for the immense
indemnity wrung from China after the
war In which she was Inundated. AS
the situation stands thousands of Japs
are emigrating to escape service in the
army. bills are piling up. money rates
are rising. and still the cry is for more
ships.

THE WICKED BOOZE MAN AGAIN

From sundry contemporaries we
gather that the obstreperous office
holder is still at it. This is keen dis.
The supposition and radiant hope had
been that with the declaration of the
State Democratic Convention he had
subsidized; that the spectre had been
laid, the terrible shape avaunted, the
midnight plot and reconcile conspira-
cy smashed. squelched and hagellated.
The precious trust of many a one had
been that when the Convention had

The order OF the Nebraska Supreme
Court expunging the briefs of Standard

up again significant phase of recent

The overbearing manner of their attor-

To question or to regret the inev.
liable seems to the emancipated mind
the greatest folly imaginable. 1t GER
tainly is as foolish as barking at the
moon.
Sweet sorrow must not be classed
with the depressing passions. 1t is the
tenderest expression of love. If tears
of love or of sympathy spring to the
eyes. do not repress them; do not be
ashamed Of them; they are like dew
from heaven and promote the growth
of the soul.
Neither mast friendly rivalry nor am
bition to exce1 be classed as agrees
sions, as they are phases of growth.
The disposition of the emancipated Is
to switch the current of the divine
spark (Which is the energy of mani on
wires that connect with motors belted
to good acts and good thoughts and
worthy appreciation, and to cut out the
circuits Of worry and anger, and their
branch lines entirely, leaving them to
rust and decay through disuse. 1t is a
matter of voluntary selection. The
same effort of thought can be made to
bless or to curse; can stimulate to good
or stimulate to bad; can propel or re-
tard; can aid or obstruct; can nourish
or kill.

the horse; the poor wretch was dying
of hunger, and, not being able to cut
the flesh, was trying to bite it. He
soon afterward died where he was Of
cold and hunger. The two others, hus-
sars, were covered with blood about
the hands and mouth. We spoke to
them, but they did not answer; they
looked at us, laughing in horrible
way. and then sat down close to the
dead man. where they no doubt fell
