A Memphis gentleman who has just
returned from an overland trip through
Mississippi says that one day he stop
ped at a negro cabin to ask the way to
the village for which he was bound.
In reply to his hail, an old white
headed man came to the door, and the
following conversation took place 49,.
Can you tell me how to get to B--?

"Sai,inly, l kin, sab" replied the
darkey. You follow dis here road till

THE MODEL DAIRY.

He ran a model dairy
On scientific plans
Equipment Of the latest,
From tank 20 cooling pans.
He used the purest water
There was to be obtained
No matter if he pumped it,
Or caught it when it rained.
His chalk he kept in barrels,
And you would be surprised
To know that every barrel
Was antisepticisod.
He had a tank Of copper.
In it he took much pride;
He kept it bright and shining
1t held formaldehyde.
And, to complete the dairy,
He said. 81 think that now

Most monarchs have fayorIte pieces
of jeweIry to which they attach a SEN

peror invariably wears a tiny bracelet
hidden by his cuff. The car Of Rus
STA has a gold watch worth 1000 rou-
bles. and some misfortune has befal-
len him or his family whenever it has
been allowed to run down. Marie

IN CONCERT.
Russia Springs a Surprise on tn,
f AIIies

Allies.
Pekin, March 15.-The ministers held
a meeting n discussed the question
of the punishment of the provincial Of
ficers who are regarded as responsible
primarily for the Boxer troubles and
who are directly implicated in the
massacre of missionaries and converts.
To the surprise of everybody the Rus.
sian representative appeared as an
opponent to any further punishment
of Chinesa-aHs~ers, no marrer hvrr
guilty they may have been. This is
the first decided break in the concert
of the powers. The Russian repre-
sentative got his orders from st.
Petersburg. 1t is understood hat he
was told to aid China in every way in
return for China's signature to an
agreement recognizing
Russian Prcdominence
in the whole northern part Of the EN-.
pire. The Chinese peace commission
ers have attempted to minimize the
appearance of this agreement in the
hope, it is thought, of provoking dis
cord among the ministers. The move
made by Russia will please the Chi
nese for two reasons. In the first
place it means hat a punishment of
the provincial officers will be STAYED
off temporarily, to say the least, and,
secondly, it will have a tendency to
break the unanimity of the powers.
AS the matter now stands Great Brit
ain, Germany, France, Italy, Austria,
Belgium and Holland insist that these
officers should be punished. The posi-
ton of Japan and America is uncer-
tain. The action Of these two coun-
tries is deemed most important and
settling the policy of the allies.
