UNABLE TO AGREE AT PEKING.
MINISTER'S AND THE LEGATION GUARDS
DE GIERs'S ATTITUDE EMBARRASSING.


Pekng March 24.-The foreign ministers seem
utterly unable to agree to the best method Of
policing the legation quarter. The proposition
most favored by the majority and most COM
planned OF by the minority is one providing that
men of the regular armies shall be detailed for
the service, under one officer connected with the
allies. United States Special Commissioner
Rockhlll is one Of those who object to this plan
as is also the British Minister Sir Ernest SatOw
who says that though ar international force is
desirable II would be better that the police
detail should be composed OF soldiers who are
not liable TO be called away when they most
useful. 1t is also undesirable. he thinks that
the commandant should be an officer actively
connected with any army. while the intention to
make each legation practically an armed camp
is a great mistake and is liable to cause fric-
tion and II would be far better 10 make gem
eral international district.
The ministers are seriously considering the
advisabality OF asking their governments 10 re-
consider the decision in favor OF big legation
guards. as being liable not only 10 keep the
court from returning 10 Peking. but also
continual source of danger in the dealings with
the Chinese. it would be impossible TO keep
the guards entirely within the legation quarter
which condition Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang insist upon. saying that otherwise IL
would be impossible to guarantee order. espe
cially when the Chinese troops shall have
turned 10 -Pekng. One drunken soldier outside
the foreign settlement, they say. might cause
another war.
The attitude of NJ. de Giers the Russian min
ister at the meeting OF the foreign representa-
tives is embarrassing and causes considerable
annoyance. He either refuses to agree with the
other ministers or holds apart entirely
1t is not thought likely on account of Sir
Robert Hart's increasing age and the gradual
approach Of feebleness that he will continue
long in charge OF the imperial customs on be
half Of the powers
The bodies OF Captain Reilly and en-
listed men, which buried at the American
Legation. were removed 10 the Temple OF Agr-
culture this morning with military horrors. Gen
eral Chaffee and his entire staff accompanying
them. The body Of American marine which
buried the Russian Legation will be

A Rockefeller Idea Of Success.

To just how many millions John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., will be heir it would
not be easy to state with exactness.
1t is sure that the young man-he is
twenty-five years old--has every temp
tation, were he so inclined, to pre-
pare himself for a straigbtaway course
in fast automobiles, fast company and
rapid living generally. Instead he
has taken to sober paths, and We find
him assuring the members OF the Stu
dents Club that the things most
worth while are not the search for
wealth or extravsgant joys, but these
four: Character, friendship, health
and success. And success, young Mr..
Rockefeller says. "is to do the COM
mon duty of each day uncommonly
well.
The eplgrammatlc wisdom oi That
single sentence is worthy of an older
head. With all its brsvity 1t differ
entiates the characters, accomplish
ments and careers of men as they have
been since the beginning of time and
as they are unfolding to-day the world
over. Mr.. Rockefeller's saying Is bet
ter than Disraeli's, The secret OF sue
cess is constsncy to purpose, because
it expresses more than merely pa
tient persistence and more than a sue
cess which might be merely personal.
To "do the common duty uncommon
ly well, is to separate yourself from

only a faint whisper and drip from one
or two tiny waterfalls that slipped and
slid down the bank. The weight OF
the water had sucked the saddle close
ly against the earth and the hole was
stopped.
So much. But the night was cold
her arms already ached and panied
cruelty, and she did not dare leave the
saddle lest it slip. Would they search
for her Or would they think she had
stayed all night with Jess? If she
could only get word home.
Again she looked at Brandy. Then
she called him to her, slipped the loop
of her quirt from the pOmmel of the
saddle, and, raising her arm out of the
water, she turned Brandy toward home
and then brought down the lashes with
stinging force on his flank.
Home, Brandy !" she called. And
Brandy, outraged and indignant.
kicked up his heels, ,bucked three times
then tore down the trail toward home,
resolved to tell Soda that his young
mistress had gone crazy.
Fainter and fainter sounded the
hoof- beats along the trail. And soon
she could hear them no longer, Her
arms ached cruelty, and sharp pains
began 10 shoot through her body from
the cold. Now and then she would
take her arms out of the water and
swing them and beat her hands to-
gether till they stung but only for
moment, then the saddle had to be
held in place.
The time seemed horribly long, but
at last far down the trail there sound
ed a low, thudding noise that quickly
grew louder, and she sprung to her
feet with a gasping little cheer as
four horses galloped madly to the
ditch gate, and all in minute four
men had dragged her up from the
water, torn off her wet jacket and
asked twenty questions Brandy had
reached home riderless and was now
galloping back with Teddy, white and
frightened, clinging to his bare back.
Tie fruit was saved, thanks to Bess
and Brandy. The frost did very lit-
tie damage that night, and at last the
yield was rich and plentiful. And
the following summer, in far-ofF Can
ada, Teddy and Bess splashed in the
waves to their hearts content, while
"mother" looked on happily and Mr..
Harris told old friends all about fruit
ranching "out West.
1T was close call, he would say,
"but Bess and Brandy saved the fruit.
If the ditch had burst through that
night and flooded the roots it would
have meant ruin.
And Bess, fully recovered from the
heavy cold that followed her little ad-
venture, was surprised to find herself
heroine.

The Gross We Bear.

Sometimes We walk along lfe's road
With heavy heart and saddened face;
We long have borne grievous load
And nowhere see resting place.
By day. by night We fret and moan.
While Oft our crosses We compare
With those of others, and our own.
Thus measured. seem more III an our share.
And then. perchance, We meet with some
Beneath such burdens bending low,
Life must be one long martyrdom,
Each day tragic tale of woe
We pause to look with tear wet eyes
As they pass slowly from our sight,
Upon our lips all murmur dies
The load we bear seems almost light

but what most people want is some-
thing to help them forget.
People who are willing to take the
bitter with the sweet will fni it most

A woman will usually make ten
excuses for her boy to one for her

Keeping ones temper is equivalent

Marriage is a failure whenever 1t

The ideal husband is usually some
