All is not as rosy as regards John
Bull and the Russian bear over the
British Tibetan expedition, now on its
warlike errand. and it is not unlikely
that Russia may show its hand ere long
in the case. The we'll known Russian
journalist, Prince Uchtomsky, voices
Russian uneasiness over the expedition
and after expressing surprise that the
Russian press had not awakened to the
threatened danger, writes: This Brit
ish invasion Of the defenseless Tibet
is directly inimical 10 Russia, and it is
intended to SOW the seeds Of future I'M

frontier. Russia cannot regard with in
difference the advance of British-In-

nominally at least, part of the Chinese
empire. and which has heretofore enjoy

government and to the Dalai Lama by

this aggressive procedure of the British
Indian government

THAT KANSAS DECISION.

The eight hour law decision of the
Supreme Court of Kansas, which the
United States Supreme Court has sus-
tanned, affects only persons employed
by or on behalf of the state, or any
county, or city. or town in the state.
It is of similar purport to the eight
hour statutes of many other states
which define eight hours as a days
work in public employment. The stat
utes have nothing to do with eight
hour day laws, as they may concern
private employment. There is no hint
that the liberty of private contract
may be regulated by statute. In the
case of Holden VS.. Hardy the court
some time ago sustained the Utah law
fixing an eight-hour day for miners
employed underground, finding a suf-
fcient reason therefor in the fact that
the employment defined was extra
but the reasoning then ap-
piled did not apply to the Kansas case.

HAPPIER.

Our Lady Of the Shows having reeov-
cred from the shock Of the Alaska COM
mission award awakes to find that her
material prosperity is gaining as shown
by her export trade record. Montreal
during the exporting season now closing
has made record of 100000 bushels
of grain exported; against 100000 last
year. Much o. this grain was water
borne over part OF the distance be-
tween the wheatfields and the sea. But
for the holding back of grain for higher
prices. the exoorts via Montreal would
have been. it is believed. much larger.
AS it is, the Northern farmers will now
have to keep their grain through the
winter and rush it to market in the
spring, with bad effect, it is feared. on
prices. The rates given by Canadian
railways on grain have been close to 8
cents bushel and have eft little profit
to the carriers.

PLAN for the cure of stomach ills finds
ready and sturdy advocates. A long,
continued diet, not much above the
starvation limit. is recommended by
some counsellors for the cure of certain
liver and stomach ailments. But Dr.
Tanners endeavor to live on an air and
water diet for a month or two cannot
be recommended. The truth of the mat
ter is that most people eat too much,
and the Little Mary play, which has
been all the rage in London, inculcates
q sound and practical idea.
Following the success of this play in
London, the phrase "IIow's Little
Mary?" has become current in that city.
The Little Mary" of the play, it will
be recalled, is not the heroine. The plot
revolves about young woman who

Unquestionably moderation in eating

THE PAPER BAG TRADE.

Paper bags are now 50 universally
used that one wonders how the trades
people OF former generations could have
got along without them. It is matter
for wonder, too, why they were not
thought Of and made before. But it
was not merely the bag that had to be
invented, but the ingenious machinery
that could make them without material
" adding to the cost of the paper. They
are now used SO extensively not solely
because they economize time and labor.
but because they are actually more
economical than paper in sheets or on
rolls. as there are no odd pieces to be

SUCH A NICE GIRL. TOO,
But She Had Certain characteristics OF
Her Sex.

But She Had Certain characteristics OF
Her Sex.
There are people who are fine and sin
cere and of noble simplicity of charac-
ter, except when they are buying thea
ter tickets. A nice little tailor-made
girl, with face like an angel and tig-
ure too perfect to discuss, says IN a.
soft dreamy, trusting voice:
ST want two nice seats for the
Wednesday matinee Of this week.
Now, there's nothing too good for that
girl. She may have whatever her heart
desires, for any mortal who has been
so exauisitely fashioned must of GER
tainty be darling of the gods" And
IL the gods see fit to unfortunately
shower their gifts on the little heather
that she is, why shouldn't a box office
man emulate the example as far as lies
in his power Making the attempt, he
says:
Here, I've got two fine seats.
They're just two seats from the aisle in
the fourth row, center. It's really one
Of the best locations in the house, and
as the main action occurs on this side,
you can readily see the advantage of
being stationed here"
The box office man wants her to take
those two seats in the fourth row. He
has intimated by word and tone how
much he thinks of them, and he knows
if she doesn't take them he'll never
smile again. He'd like to tell her this
and beg her to Danish from her mind all
thoughts of being cheated. To cheat
that girl were a saerilege-the unpar-
donable sin. OF course, not being able
to tell her these things, the perverse
little heather with the tilted nose has
no method of ascertaining for herself,
and, furthermore, a homely chum has
warned her against the wiles and wick
edness of box office men. So she says:
ct don't know what to take-these
fourth row seats down stairs or the first
row balcony. Which would you take If
you were in my placer"
"Me?" says the box office man, fiat
tered by the bestowal Of confidence,
what seats would take? Why, I'd
take these two In the fourth row, down

Would you, really?" she says.
you'd sooner take the fourth row down
stairs?- Well, then, let see. You'd bet
