Sentiment Versus Fact.

That the advance preparation OF
speeches will not always conform TO
circumstances was made evident dur
ing q flag raising at a public school.
The Young orator had been speaking
for several minutes when he advanced
to the front of the platform, raised his
hand with a dramatic gesture to the
flag on the staff above him and shouted:
"See yon flag throwing its protecting
folds to the breeze of freedom!"
It was a pretty sentiment, but the
''breeze" didn't bear out the picture.
The flag, to which all eyes were imme-
diately turned, hung as limp as if it
had been dipped in water.

GunpOwder and Artillery.

There is abundant evidence that the
origin of gunpowder and artillery goes
far back in the dim ages of the past.
The Hindoo code, compiled long before
the Christian era, prohibited the max
ing of war with cannon and guns or
any kind of firearms. Quintus Curtius
informs us that Alexander the Great
met with fire weapons in Asia and
Philostratus says that Alexanders con-
quests were arrested by the use of gun
powder. 1t is also written that those
wise men who lived in the cities of the
Ganges ''overthrew their enemies with
tempests and thunderbolts shot from
the walls. "-Casselps Magazine.

Russia Indirectly Tells the President
Don't You Forward That Petition"

Don't You Forward That Petition"
Washington, June 27-The Russian
government has learned with profound
regret of the intention of the Wash
ington authorities to forward to st.
Petersburg petition from United
Statesan Jews relative to Russia's
treatment of her Jewish subjects. 1t
is yet hoped that the United States
will appreciate the Russian view of
the case. The Associated
Press already mas stated the Russian
position regarding what rs considered
outside interference in the internal af-
fairs of Russia.
That position continues to be held,
and the Associated Press is further
permitted to say that Riddle the Unit
ed States charge, when he presents the
petition at the Russian foreign office
will be received with the same cordial
ity always accorded a United States
envoy. In returning the petition to
Riddle the officials will assure him
that Russia cherishes no i'll will toward
the United States, and that the action
it takes with respect to the petition
is necessary in view of Russia's I'M
alterable policy of refraining from in
reference in the internal affairs of 9TH
er powers, and insisting on similar
treatment for itself.
The Russian government hopes its
frmness in the matter will not be mis-
understood, but in view of the an
nOuncement of it's position weeks ago
is surprised at the developments" which
will force a reiteration of it's views.
1t is believed on good authority that
the majority of the cabinet is averse
to the petition and will advise Presi-
dent Roosevelt to reconsider his in
tention to send the petition through
our charge d'affaires at st. Peters
burg. Count Cassini is very active in
the premises. moving, of course, UNI
der directions from his government
President Roosevelt is firm in the
matter. and it is this that gives i'm
portance to the situation. Hitherto
he has insisted upon carrying out his
own diplomacy when fully convinced
of the Justice OF his cause, even against
the advice of Secretary Hay. 1t can
be said that Secretary Hay does not
approve the forwarding of the petition
TO st. Petersburg.

more than cover for a drink Of

do him good and that is the important
thing. The rest is nobody's business.

so-Caiied Bad Boys.


There has been no dearth of wise
comments on the 14-year-Old boy who
tried to ditch trains down near Brook
Ign. in this county. Most people seem
to think that the boy should be struck
dead with an ak.
AS q matter Of fact, 14year-old
boy is about as irresponsible a being
as exists outside the asylums. His
mind is filed with dreams He has
no experience to guide him. The great
world. including his own affectionate
parents. regard all his actions, good
or bad alike. as deviltry to be sup
pressed by law and violence.
The great secret of boy training is
to direct the resources and energies
Of hand and will. These simply must
have expression. There are few bad
boys Of IA. There are perverts-the
fruit of blind or lazy, neglectfuI pa
rental training. But until boy is past
II, he is scarcely a responsible offend
er. The father is too lazy or selfish to
play with his boy, and to explain to
him the fascinating mystery of a loco
motive. and to show him where the
WOodchuck builds its hole. The father
prefers his lodge and his own pleas
ures, and the boy is thrown on his own
devices. The secret of success in rails
ing children is unselishness. 1t is the
parent who sacrifices his own pleas
ures and gives his time to his children
IN the tender years; who is willing to
90 down on lis own stomach and drink
out of the brook. to catch perch and to
try electrical experiments with the
piece of rubber and the glass goblet.
This parent will succeed. When the
boy is older there is no company so
good as such a dads. No boy whose
father has taken the trouble to escort
him TO the Northwestern yards, and
with him climbed into the cab and
been shown where tramps ride under
the freight cars; no such boys wreck
railroad trains The child who wrecks
trains has never had his attention
called to the seriousness of it. He
does not know any better. The time
to punish children is when they are
very young; then they should be taught
wisely and lovingly to obey their par
ents. For parents to neglect the child
until it is - or II and then to seek to
make him dutiful, is folly. 1t is toe
late. T. 81 ~; &>,a*t.+:h>,,~a' - ~"
