 The incidents in the life of any man and the peculiarities of his character have to do with periods far ante-dating the life of the man himself, and may have their notifications among peoples and nations which existed before the nation of his nativity came Into being.

 The late P T. Barnum was known as an ideal host, and, next to his interest In the greatest show on earch." enjoyed nothing better than entertaining his friends at his house and table
 Among those who visited him most frequently at "Lindencroft" or "waIde- mere" and who gave the name to the last residence. was Joel Benton. who sometimes calls himself auditor of prose and worse"
 It is a peculiarly of this author that with one slight exception, he eats neither butter nor milk. and none of the ordi- nary meats, not for any hygienic or philiso- phical reason. but simply because they are distinctly unpalatable to him. On one occasion. when a young lady. occupied a seat near MT. Benton at Mir. Barnum' s table the waiter handed the bachelor author some butter. ''Ohr' said Barnum to the waiter, and pointing at the lady, ''you shouldn't do that for he doesn't love any but her"
 MT. Barnum's table. of course, was aI- ways bountiful1y supplied with a great sian. when MT. Benton refused the beef and the lamb and the butter. MT. Bar mum wearily said Well Benton, you seem likely to starve here. What can we serve you?'
 "Oh'' said Benton. "I eat everything that flies or swims."
 "very well. then" said Barnum. well get you a crow and whale tomorrow"

MAGNIFICENT FIGHTING.

II anything were needed to convince
the world that the japanese are as brave
az the bravest soldiers that ever wore
a Uniform, their conduct in the battle of
Nan Shan hill last week will forever re-
move all doubt. That battle makes
.Japan a W { reckon with for all
time in world politics. says the Salt Lake
Herald.
Nine times they charged before they
raised their flag over the blood-soaked
hilltop. Eight times they charged, then
staggered backward to reform their
broken lines and charge again. The m
munition for the artillery that had Gov
cred the assaults was almost exhausted,
the men who remained alive and I'M
wounded were weary to the point of ut
ter exhaustion.
Then the Japanese squadron in Kin
Chou bay resumed the shelling of Nan
Shan hill. 1t was the signal for the
ninth assault. AS N man the Fourth
Osaka division sprang forward, followed
by the First division of Toxic and the
Third division of Nagoya, and at 7:30 in
the evening they planted their flag on
the summit of Nan Shan hill.
The victory cost Japan $500 killed and
wounded men. 1t cost the Russians
more than 500 killed and perhaps twice
as many wounded, besides the position
itself and more than seventy guns. But
the conquest was worth to the Japanese
all it cost. They gave the world such
an example as it has not seen since

CHAMP CLARK ON BANKING.
SAYS Government Should Not Rush
to Aid of Wall Street.


1.-THE banks should be taken out of
Government affairs and the Govern
ment should keep out of the banking
business. There is no reason why the Sec
rotary of the Treasury should rush to
the aid of Wall street gamblers every
time their own greed brings them into
sore straits. was the emphatic state
ment Of Congressman Champ Clark to
the Missouri Bankers Association last
week.
1.-THE Secretary" continued Mr.. Clark.
Knight as well go to the aid of faro
banks when they are hit hard. The
fact that the Government keeps vast
sums on deposit in a few pet banks in
New York and the readiness with which
the Secretary goes to their aid in critical
moments possibly accounts for the fact
that so many Treasury officials quit the
Government service to take positions
in big New York banks at salaries that
Uncle Sam cannot pay. 1t seems to be
a game of you tickle me and I'll tickle
you
"There is neither wisdom nor justice
in the Government keeping on deposit
in a few pet New York banks vast sums
of money. The profit, as I understand
it, arising from banking is doing bust.
ness on other peoples money, but the
Government is assisting a few banks to
get rich quick"

OIL LANDS IN NEVADA.

Mining and Scientific Press: An inter-
esting situation has developed in the
recently discovered oil fields In the Car
son sink, Churchill County, Nevada.
P~rospectors, quickly following the dis
covery of oil, located a large area of the
adjacent land under the Placer Location
Act, as provided by law. The hydro
graphic branch of the United States
Geological Survey is engaged in extern
sive reclamation of desert lands. This
is the outgrowth of the Investigations
made during the early years Of the sur
vey, when under the direction of ]. w.
Powell. These projects are located
throughout the Western States.
The lands which it is intended to re.
claim by irrigation methods have been
withdrawn from all entry except under
the Homestead Act, it being the desire
of the Government that these lands be
taken up in small farming tracts, not
exceeding 100 acres for each person who
may make such entry. and the tract in
Nevada where oil was recently dis
covered chances to be within n of
these reclamation areas. AS the value
of the land for the oil. it may produce
is unknown, and as without irrigation
it is practically valueless for any other
purpose, the Government may possibly
make an exception in this case and allow
the original locators to hold their oil
claims, for it seems unjust that the orig
inal claimants should be dispossessed of
their locations of 20 acres each in IA
vor Of later locators appropriating 100
acres each, and who at their OPP
ton may also bore for oil. Notices have
been posted informing oil locators that
the land is not subject to location in
any manne other than as homestead
tracts.

AT GATES or PORT ARTHUR
Skirmishing Begins Between the
Japanese and Russians.
Both Sides Preparing for the Final
Assault-Late Reports Increase
japanese Losses at Kin Chou

Japanese Losses at Kin Chou
to About 10000 Men.
Chefu, June 2.-Fighting has COM
menced almost within rifieshot Of Port
Arthur. Thus far it has been confined
to continued skirmishing, the japanese
awaiting reinforcements for the final
assault. Six lines of intrenchments
must be carried successfully by the be-
siegers. The Russians have mounted
on shore the heavy guns from their
warships.
Russian Admiral Prepares for Attack
st. Petersburg, June 2, $40 p.m.-Al
the reports received at General Kurop-
atkins headquarters from the Kwan
Tung peninsula are increasing the JAP
anese losses at Kin Chou, n to-day
making the number 10000 men.
Rear Admiral Wittsoeft's dispatch OF
yesterday gave assurance that every
ship at Port Arthur except the Pobieba
was ready to go Il sea at a moments
notice and that the channel was clear.
He confirmed the belief which existed
here that the japanese viii continue
their efforts to block the channel before
the decisive moment to storm the for
tress on the land side arrives, and that
he has made plans accordingly. In the
opinion of the most competent military
critics the land Notifications must be
broken before a general assault can
be risked and this is not considered
possible in less than ten weeks.
1t can be safely predicted that the Rus
slams squadron at Port Arthur will not
wait until the last moment before going
out. The Admiralty seems to entertain
no fear. if the situation there becomes
desperate, that the squadron will be
caught like a rat in a trap.
