WHY JOHNNY BEAR COT NO

STORY OF sEMI-WILD PARK-How CAT
MAINTAINED INTEGRITY FAMILY WHILE THE

lightful book and lectures on "Wili
Animals l Have KNOWN tells a very
amusing story of cat-and- bear life in the
Yellowstone park. The hero of the
story is Little Johnny" cub bear that
hung around one of the park hotels, and
% this particular occasion had a we'll
developed appetite for tarts; the heroine
is frail little cat which is nameless, and
the heavy villain, despite the discrep-
ancy in sex, is Grumpy, the bear moth
er.
1t happened on a day in the Yellow
stone park that Little Johnny nosing
around near the back door of the hotel,
became sensible of a fruity fragrance
in the air. due to the cooking of certain
jam tarts.
"Plums, l VOW" he calculated in bear
talk, and straightway encourage his
mother to go to the door and demand
share, as was the custom of the family.
Johnny, however, was taking no chances
so long as he had an enterprising
mother, so he took to the top of a con-
Venient tree, from which he could give
his moral support at the top of his
voice. Now it happened on this par

when she saw the cat she snorted. Pussy

first idea was to fly, but then she

to be ashamed of herself to be scared
by simple cat. Perhaps Grumpy
thought SO, too, and dropped on her
four feet to go in and slap pussy. Then
the cat jumped-jumped and grabbed
old Grumpy by the nose. The bear
yelled bloody murder and tried to claw
off the cat. but pussy climbed on
Grumpy's neck, where she could not be

Not all of them of course, are available;
but there are already enough Russian
troops in Eastern Siberia to fight Japan
to a very doubtful issue. The above
illustration gives the comparative size
of the two armies.
On the water however, the conditions
are reversed. All in all, Russia has
somewhat the larger navy. But Japan
has all her navy ready for instant SER
vice in eastern waters, not having a

Russia has all her European interests to
guard, and dare not spare ship from
her home fleet. The following table

SILVER SENATORS HAVE A

A Quartette of senators and ex-sena-

sey of Arkansas, Jones of Nevada and
Dorsey of Arkansas-made a rich strike

These men own veritable mountain
of gold ore near Picacho, and are plan
ming to put up mi1 twice as large as
that at the Golden Cross mine which
has 40 stamps, and is claimed to be the
largest loWgrade proposition in the
country. 1t is inferred from this that
nearly 500 stamps will be put in at

Picacho. The ore is of a low grade and
can be worked at a profit only on an
extensive scale, such as is planned by
the owners. The plant will be located
on the west bank of the Colorado river,
thus insuring a good water supply. AT
the Golden Cross mine it is necessary
to pipe water for a distance of eighteen
miles.
Men are now engaged setting stakes
for railroad from the mountain of ore
to the site of the proposed mill. dis
tancle of five miles, and from the mill
site to the Southern Pacific road,
distance of tWenty-six miles. The rail
read, it is understood, will be finished
by September.

Japan has some Of the finest fighting
ships afloat. and their batteries are es-
pecially heavy. It is conservative esti-
mate of naval authorities that Russia
would lose every ship she has in the
Orient if she rsked them in finish
fight while Japan would still have
powerful fleet to reinforce her army,
which, too. might hold it's own.
But Russia is the long, time fighter of
nations, While Japan has never yet been
tried in defeat. Close students of Japa-
nese character assert that the nation
would not be a good loser: that few
reverses would so seriously affect the
present warlike spirit that war would
not be of long duration. Her only hope
would be in a speedy victory.
For that matter. even Russian stub
bornness could not long cope with that
deadly enemy. a financial panic. The
nation is put to the limit of it's powers
to keep it's head above water Modern
war is 50 terribly expensive that even
the best financial nations could not long
bear the burden of a really great strug-
gle. Japan is even worse off than Russia
financially. Both nations seem to be
stimulating the warlike spirit in a fleet
ing attempt to bolster up the present
ministries. 1t is precarious move, for
should the war come the two nations
will be almost hopelessly bankrupted
to attain these private ends.
Japan has almost finished a strongly
fortified naval station opposite the
Russian port of Vladivostock and is
prepared for a sudden dash across the
narrow waters that separate the two
strongholds. The work has been done
almost as if by magic. so great was the
fear that an after rupture might come
on short notice. It is but a days sail
across the channel. and a great and ter
rihle battle may be looked for almost
with the announcement of war.

Scandals ID British Military

Two grave military scandals are being
smotbered just now by the British war
Office. Five officers and several privates
OF an irregular corps employed in South

for it in Portland and Le,oes jails for ira
itorously assisting the Beers to smuggl4
through the British lines. They
were sentenced to be shot, but General Ro

So he returned them as dead from enterlc
fever. Since then three other officers and
III men have been caught at the same game
and General Kitchener lad them shot and
returned them as fever victims.
Smuggling is still going on. 1t is said
that the culprlts Were in Boer pay when
they enlisted The other scandal relates
to British officers entrusted in buying re-
mounts in Austria. They ale charged by
Sir Blundell Maple, Tory member Of "Ar-
Iiament, with paying extravagant prices and
dividing ,cith the sellers. The War Office
is refusing all information on both topics,
which are causing great excitement in mi

OUTBREAKS AGAINST ARTS
TOCRACY AND CHURCH.
MADE ON CONVENT
Carriages Of Papal Nuncio and
Other Dignitaries Stoned
By Populace

Madrid, Feb. 1.-The disturbances
of last night, which were more mem
acing than those previously occurring,
left a decided spirit of uneasiness in
official circles. The day passed with
out any startling incident. But the
crowds increased during the day. The
idle classes have been wandering in
the streets, apparently awaiting the
cover of night to give vent to their
hatred of the aristocracy.
The Puerta del Sol, a large square
in the center of the city, was the
principal gathering spot. Mounted
civil guards patrolled it all day long.
With the fall Of night the assemblage
increased until the square was black
with people. The single cries and low
toned murmuring were becoming
louder until the outcry almost became
a roar.
At z O'Clock the guards cleared
the space and their numbers were in
creased, for the carriages of the higher
classes of people, diplomats and
others, have to traverse the square in
going to the ball at the palace tonight.
AS the papal nuncio's carriage was
stoned yesterday evening it is feared
the other diplomats may now suffer.
