PLEASE DON'T WORRY.
II We Want Commercial Privileges We
Shall Get Them.

Lordon. Feb. 2S.-Cabling from Pc
kin, the correspondent of the Times
says that he has learned that the Ger
man agreement for the acquisition OF
a mining monopoly in Shan Tung prov
ince is upon the evening of settlement
and that it will confer great political
advantages.
The agreement will practically close
a large part of Shan Tung province to
British and American industrial enter
prises and the question is not unnat-
uralIy asked. continues the correspond
ent. how Great Britain and the United
States can ignore the consistency OF
their attitude in protesting anent Rus
sian encroachments in Manchuria,
while acquiescing in the more insidious
but equally exclusive policy of Ger
many in Shan Tung.
Germany bases her claim to this
monopoly, concludes the correspondent.
on the fact that il was demanded by
the late Baron Won Ketteler, and that
she cannot withdraw claim made by
her murdered minister.

A Herald of Sprinq.

When the lights were eXtinguiShed
and everything settled down for the
night. Wednesday, the majority of the
people evidently thought that there was
a rainy day ahead of them and about
the last thing they thought of was
their mackintoshes and rubber boots.
But there was happy disappointment
in the morning, or at least for those
who We're not up before the sun. At 5
O'Clock it looked like rain, but shortly
afterwards Old Sol, game out a beaming
and then the fun began. He went
after tbs snow as if it was a sworn
enemy and soon had it on the run.
There were miniature torrents on the
streets everywhere. The sun was
bright and very warm and it was one
Of the best days Of the year. 1t
seemed more like April than February.
There was only an occasional wagon
out, Wednesday, but the runners were
almost in the minority about the city,
yesterday. The snow sent with a rush
and some Of the crossings were almost
dusty before night. 1t looked as if
spring had been stalled somewhere and
haG suddenly been freed to arrive with
rush ard grand flourish.
But it is not the kind of weather
wanted by the lumbermen. When they
think of those yards back in the
woods piled high with logs and then Of
the water that must be running in the
sheltered wagon sled roads they Won
der if good many of the yards will
not look just about the same as they
DO when the men go in, next fall.
Every available team is being worked
to the limit and life in the lumber
camps at present is not all beans. 1t is
on the yards before the sun and in the
howell after dark. The logs are going
to the landings in steady streams but
they are going hard just the same.
There hasn't been an over abundance of
snow. this season, at the best and the
roads will break up rapidly under the
warm sun. 1t will be difficult work to
keep them in shape and keep the skids
from poking out their battered noses.
Every nerve is being strained to get
every possible log on to the landings
and horses and men are being rushed
about to the limit.

The Bowdoin Mandolin club Of this
year has been pronounced by past
leaders to be the best which has ever
represented the college. 1t renders
classical music with great deal of
carefulness. and popular music with a
snap and dash which can so well be
brought out by mandolin club. The
feature of the work of this part of the
club will be The Devils Patrol" a
characteristic piece which could easily
be named were no name on the pro-
gram. The aim of the leaders has
been to obtain the newest music and at
