Uncle William Brown tells US fun
ny story. He says one time they were
out at the chalk works and they found
on the prairie a nice smooth white
egg. Uncle Bill picked it up and
brought it home, and slipped it unuer
the wings of q motherly old hen that
was setting. Uncle Bill waited pa
tiently expecting to hatch full
fledged alligator, but when the three
weeks were up. out stepped downy,
Brown Leghorn chicken. The query
now Is: Chow did the egg get out on
the prairie miles from any habita-
tion?'

ALLIES OFF THE ORIENT.

Philadelphia Record: The alliance of
Great Britain and japan is a pitting Of the
two greatest island empires against the
greatest OF the continental empires.
indianapolis News: The probabilities are
that Russia will merely be checked by the
A-nglo-Japaness alliance. 1t has been
checked before, and In many parts OF the
world. But always its movement has been
forward.
Springfield Republican: So far as Man
churia is concerned, however, this alliance
does not promise to effect substantial re-
suits, at this late day, unless the jap
anese are now prepared. with British sup
port. to strike with all their military force
against the advance Of Russia in eastern
Asia.
New York Work: Should war result be-
tween Russia and Japan over Korea, as
has been anticipated, the latter power
would now have the support of England.
whose naval operations are unaffected by
the trouble in South Africa. Further
moves on the international chessboard in
| the east will be awaited with world wide
interest
New York Times: The publication Of this
treaty comes Just after the publication of
the protest against the signature Of the
treaty by which China was to make over
Manchuria to Russia, and hat protest was
subscribed by the United States, as we'll
as by the contracting parties in this treaty.
In effect, the British proclamation of
Hands orr is an American proclama-
tion also. That fact will not fail to be
noted in all the chancelleries. It is en-
tirely' safe to say that "the crime OF 1895"
will not be repeated.
New York Tribune: There have been in
and the United States were working to-
upon Manchuria. The three have a COM
unity Of interests In that part Of the
world. and are natural and logical allies.
The United States is not q party to this
treaty. It does not enter into such alli-
ances. But 1t will welcome this treaty as
a guarantee Of its own welfare. and will
continue to give its cordial sympathy and
moral cooperation to the two great and
friendly powers which have made it
Detroit Free Press. That Great Britain
should have entered into such an appar-
emily ~jug-handled arrangement-that she
should have turned her back on her tradl-
tional policy of magnificent isolation" in
order to gain the support OF a third-rate
power like Japan is significant. An often
sive and defensive alliance between Great
Britain and any other power would have
been q nine-days' sensation In interna-
tional politics; but when the nation is
neither white nor Christian and Great
Britain voluntarily agrees to pay a usu-
rious rate of interest on the investment.
the wonder must be increased.
