Mankind does not change; its meth.
DDS change, the trade has still its Kids

has its pirates and its piracics; only
the buccaneers Of now do not launch
ships but stock companies, while Wall
and Broad streets are their Spanish
main. They do not, like Francis
Drake, lay off and on at the isthmus
to stop pirate ships: they seek their
galleons in the Stock Exchange.

some quiet neighbor, would have re-

in a voyage to worlds unknown, for
profits guessed at, against dangers

THAT figure over there-I wonder
Ii it's scarecrow.
He stopped and regarded the fig
ure very attentively for a space. Then
he concluded, in satisfied tone:
Yes, it's not moving. 1t must be
a scarecrow.
But the other farmer had sharper
eyes and better understanding, may
be, of certain types of human nature.
So No. he said, dryly; 10, it's not

ST. Petersburg, By Cable.-Colonel
Novitsky, Of the general staff, in an In
terview said:
''The result of the loss of Kai Chou
will probably be the evacuation of
New Chwang. General Kuropatkin's
position is more difficult than that
which confronted Lord Roberts in
South Africa. 1t is as if Lord Roberts
received his supplies by rail via Con-
stantinople, Cairo and Central Africa.
1t will be a long time before General
kuropatkin will have enough supplies
and men to assume the offensive. In
the meantime he will have to fight rear
guard actions. perhaps giving up i'm
portant positions, like New Chwane
which are of vastly more consequence
