Monroe doctrine in the Persian gulf,

the establishment of naval base or

ENGLAND ABOUT TO SET UP
AN EASTERN MONROE DOCTRINE

ain held a position different to that of
other powers, both because 1t was
owing to British enterprise and expen-
diture of life and money that the gulf
was now open to the commerce of the
world, and because the protection OF
the sea route to India necessitated
British predominance in the gulf
Lord Lansdowne's attitude in this
matter meets with general approval.
although the answers thereto of the
other powers interested in the gulf are
waited with some anxiety.
The newspapers here comment on
the analogy of the present proceedings
which Captain Mahan SO strongly -ec-
commended to the United States pol
icy of Monroesm. The Westminster
Gazette holds that the British motive.
namely. the protection of the sea route
to India, corresponds exactly with the
American motive in excluding Euro
pean powers from American waters.
because their territory is thereby
threatened.

MAY lNpICT TEN SENATORS.
Perjury or Bribery Is to Be the Charge
AGAINST Them.

St. Louis, April 21.-The two leaders
in the Doodle investigation, Circuit
Attorney Folk and Attorney General
conduct the local inquiry, which TEN
porarily adjourns this afternoon. An
emissary from Lieutenant Governor
Lee called upon Circuit Attorney Folk
with the proposition that upon an
agreement he would appear before the
grand jury Immediately. Circuit At
torney Folk informed his visitor that
he would not promise to restrict him
self in any part of the inquiry, and the
conference was fruitless.
Robert E. Lee, brother of the absent
official, received another letter from
Governor Lee, which was mailed in
Chicago. In further explanation of
his brothers absence, Mr.. Lee said:
He will remain away until l think
it advisable fox him to come back.
One reason that he is away is that he
does not want to assist the st. Louis

brother is not vindictive and, though
these men have proven themselves his
bitter enemies, he does not want to

Mr.. Lee concluded by saying that
his brother does not fear indictment
himself.
Evidence secured by the grand jury
showed that committee of local COM
mission men was sent to Jefferson
City for the purpose of killing the
game bill fostered by the Audubon So
ciety. The evidence was to the effect
that $1,000 was expended to kill the
measure. 1t is limited that at least

A JAPANESE GARDEN.
Follow This Recipe and You VIII
Have One Complete.

The classical garden, like a sonnet, is
and rhythm. 1t must have its five
hills, it's ten trees and it's fourteen
stones. You can get along without the
hills, and you can get along without
the trees, but you cannot get along
without stones. Indeed the perfect
type of the fiat garden is nothing but
an archipelago of rocks in a sea of
white pebbles. The stones must be
the foundation; the rest are mere ac-
cessories. Speaking stones are what
is wanted-stones that suggest moods
and passions-for the Japanese recog-
niZe that there are sermons in stones.
Each stone has its name and relative
the guardian stone in the center and
opposite it the belleview stone. Across
the cascade is the moonshade stone
and so on.
The hills unmask each other by rule
The principal hill has its two foothills,
its spur hills, its distant peak, seen
through valley, and the low hill that
must stand on the opposite side of the
lake.
AS there are principal stone and a
principal hill. so must there be prin-
cipal tree" the shojin boku, around
which the Tree of Perfection, the Tree
Of Evil, the Tree of the Setting sun
the Tree of Science and the Tree of
Solitude bow their lesser heads.
These are the essentials. Now, add
one pond. one island, two stone Ian.
terms. three bridges and mix thorough
ly, garnish with lotus and serve with
goldfish and mandarin duck. There is
a recipe for a Japanese garden.-Wil-

A SMALL LIBRARY.
The Principle of Selection on Which
1t Should Be BASED,


1 think that a limit of three books
will usually allow a very fair repre-
sentation of a novelist For instance,
Thackeray is very fairly represented
by VANITY Fair" Henry Esmond"
and "Pendennis" and Dickens by
"Pickwick," David Copperfeld" and
Martin Chuzzlewit." Walter Scott
would not suffer by one choosing
"Ivanhoe,' 1.-The Bride of Lammer-
moor and THE Heart of Midlothian"
"Tom Jones" would suffice for Field
ing and Pride and Prejudice" for Jane
Austen, "The Mill on the Floss" for
George Eliot and "The Ordeal of Rich
Taking only the great outstanding fig
ures, Tolstoi need only be present with
"Anna karenina" and WAR and
Peace" and Emile lola with, say,
"Drink" and ''The Dream 1.-The Three
Musketeers' and "The Count of Monte
Christie" would suffice for Alexandra
Dumas and lies Miserables" and "No-
tire Dame de Paris" for Victor Hugo.
1t is harder to say of the vast mountain
range of Balzac on what particular
peaks our choice should fall, but prob
ably here again the most popular books
will prove the most typical-"Le Pere
Goriot" Eugene Grandet" and "The
ASS Skin"

which must perforce operate in small

Foretells Death by Sense of smen.

Dehth ny sense Oh smell.
There's an old superstition that
bowling dog in front of the house Of
an i'll person portends death. One
prominent physician believes absolute
ly in it. This physician has wonder
fully acute sense Of smell. Frequent
ly, he says, he can foretell the coming
of death within forty eight hours Of a
patients demise. Within two days Of
death, he says, peculiar earthly odor
becomes noticeable about person
about to die. He tells of one case
where he became aware Of the pc
euliar odor While talking to an ap-
parently healthy man. That night the
man dropped dead of heart disease.
The physician is far from attributing
the peculiar manifestation to other
than physiological reasons. His own
sense of smell is abnormally acute

two chief features of the tenth annual

upon to bring results. Many teachers
favored college diplomas as neces-

sitions.

at Fort Dodge or Sioux City.
