A Pitiiul and DepIorsbIe Case

Fannie Bennetss, a young motherless16 g
/ year old girl was this week committed to
the State Industrial Schools for Girls by
County Judge Flor Ashbaugh. The
story OF her state is a deplorable one for
a civilized community, and something
into which our church people and young
folks society should look into. Three
years ago her mother died, leaving this
13 year old girl and small brother for
the care OF the father. The latter iu his
daily work for the little family knew
not what attention should be given to a
young girl, just beginning to bloom into
womanhood, and no kind neighbors OIL
J eooii Satnarat'an, offered to- iassist him
and he not thinking allowed the girl tc
have her way. She began to go to dane
es. stay out on the streets, and it was not
long before some devil in the shape OF
man, started her from a virtuous life to
one of waywardness. This was kept up
for several months until finally com
plant was lodged with the county Judge
and the above action taken.
Now here we find a young girl OF 16
years, soon to possibly become a mother
and a young lad in the county jail
charged with being the father Isn't
this an awful shame for a small COM
munity like this, which sends several
hundred dollars each year to foreign
missions, and cannot take care of its own
poor innocents. Mothers and fathers of
our young girls should take this case to
heart and be little more careful and
stringent with their own, and should
ever such case come up again lend a
helping hand and give some timely ad
vice before a young girls honor is gone,

THE HERO.

Every nation boasts its heroes
Heroes on the seas and land,
Who lead their charge to victory.
With masters stern command.
Bat the noblest hero of them all
Is he, who can himself control.
Heroes of the common wars,
Who fight with gun and sword.
Have comrades in the battle strife
Who cheer against the foe.
But life's great battles, to hold control,
Are Tough. in pain, too Oft alone.
The silent wars in ones own being,
Known bat to him, by tho world unseen,
Must be fought and fought alone.
No comrades cheer, or helping hand;
In the dull quiet of lonely life,
He fights to hold his better self.
Foes frcm without and from within,
Testing our worth in crucble.
Foes from without we may threw inside,
Bot those within, are hard to die.
They are part of us, phrenology say,
And must be fought ooth night and day.
Our foes are many with weapons strong,
From the numbering spirit to the zero zone.
To be the hero man must know, as known;
Thus to know is half the battle won.
II o igh-fo,s ,s arise, in battle giant strong.
The man OF self control. is the hero man.
In our beings are the faults of a res,
Burdencd. we climb up the msts o, centurie :,
FROM the graves OF the generations.
The rugged hills. which were mountains,
Crushing the life of the greater principles,
Are smaller now; since the heroes.
The hero wins, though the heavens fall,
And is the giant Of self control.
A hero in the van, friend OF weaker man.
We have seen him climb the rugged hill,
Through the fops, from the slums OF hell.
Till he stands erect with honest men.
There are heroes on the high seas,
There arc heroes on the field
There are heroes, for their thoughts,
Who would rather die than yield.
But OF all the heroes ever known.
Are the men who can themselves control.

The explosions heard at Port Arthur

any reliable basis.
Various special correspondents in
st. Petersburg report increasing de-
preston In Russian over the situation
at Port Arthur, and say that reports
are in circulation as to dissensions
between the generals and the highest
officials over questions Of policy and
strategy.
The Daily Mail gives great prom
inence to a statement "from Russian
correspondent" declaring that Rus
STA will stand or fall by Port Arthur,
as far as the governments prestige

Queen Bess' Wardrobe.

Royal annals have never recorded a
more varied and extensive wardrobe
than that which belonged to the "vir-
gin queen" Even at the age of sixty
eight, when she might be supposed to
have outlived her youthful vanity, she
possessed 80 complete official cos
tunes, 1o2 French gowns, 100 robes
with trains and 81 without, 126 an
tique dresses, 1876 bodices, 125 tunics,
not to mention such trifes as 90 man
ties, So dressing gowns and q fans.
1t is possible that she had an ugly
foot, for she possessed only nine pairs
Of shoes, which, considering her ex-
travagances in other articles of ap-
parel, must have some meaning. At
her death 5000 articles were found
duly catalogued in her wardrobe which
had adorned her proud person.

snatsi. This detachment encountered
500 Cossacks and after a brisk en-
gagement the Russian retreated.
General Kuroki reports that the Rus
sian loss was heavy. The Japanese
suffered one man killed and three
wounded.
The Japanese torpedo boat destroyer
1kazuchi discovered and exploded
large mine at the entrance to Talien-
wan bay. The Japanese naval author
tiles engaged in clearing out the
mines in the vicinity of Talienwan
bay are employing Japanese she'll
divers from Kushiu to provide for the
purpose. These divers volunteered
for this work and are wonderfully ex-
pert. 1t is said that with their diving
apparatus they can stay under water
for half day at time. Hundreds
of Japanese fishermen are volunteer
ing to assist in clearing away Russian
mines and it is probable that some
of them will be used for this work.
These voluntary offers are taken to
illustrate the unity of the Japanese
people in the war.

Shocked His nation.

& somewhat striking story dealing
with the now obsolete conventional
suicide, "harikiri'' or "happy dis
patch" once common in Japan, is told
by the French Admiral Gourdon.
When he was a young man he had
comrade who, having assisted in the
organizing of the Japanese navy, was
subsequently raised to the rank of adj
miral in that force. He took the part
of the tycoon against the mikado in
the revolutionary war and, having
been captured, was tried by court mar
tial and sentenced to death, which in
those days implied "harikiri." When,
however, the fatal sword was present
ed to him he fatty refused to kill him
self and declared that If he was to die
somebody else must kill him. Threats
and entreaties alike proved unavailing.
He resolutely refused. The whole Of
Japan was scandalized at such immor-
al behavior, which, however, saved his
life. The Japanese penal code had
never contemplated such contingency
as man inhuman enough to refuse
the "harikiri," and in the end he was
banished from the country and re-
turned to France.-St. James Gazette.

The Name of London.

The old name for the city of London
was Lynden or Llynden, meaning "the
city by the lake." An old tradition
gives us to understand that London
was founded by Brute, a descendant
of Hneas, and that it was first called
New Troy or Troynovant. In the time
of Lud it was surrounded by a wall
and was then known as Lud's Town,
or C@r-Lud. This latter is probably
the correct version of the origin Of the
name of London if for no other rea-
son because it is such an easy matter
to detect similarity between the ex-
pressions London and Lud's Town. 1t
is claimed by some writer's that there
was city on the present site of Lon
don in the year 1107 B. G., and it is
known that the Romans founded city
there and called it Londinium in the
year 61 A. d.

st. Petersburg, June 4.-GeneEal
Kouropatliin transmits to the min
lister of war report of General Stoes-
sci, as follows:
after fierce battle, lasting two
days, ordered our positions at Kin
Chou to be evacuated in the evening,
for we had opposed to us at least
three divisions, with 120 guns. The
enemys fire, particularly that from
four gunboats and six torpedo boats,
annihilated our batteries mounted at
Kin Chou. The Fifth regiment, which
was posted on this spot, stood Its
ground heroically. The fire of this
regiment, as we'll as that of our bat
teries and the gunboat Bobr, off
Khounoutza, inflicted enormous losses
on the Japanese. Our losses amount
ed to 80 officers and 800 men killed
or wounded. We blew up or damaged
all our guns which the Japanese had
not put out of action. The battle on
May 26 began at a. m. and lasted
until p. M. when ordered the posi-
ton evacuated gradually. The ex-
plosion of number of our mines and
fouga.es was rendered impossible by
the Japanese, who turned our position
Immediately. The Japanese advanced
through water up to the waist under
the protection of the ships"

Your shadow.

MAY your shadow never grow less"
or "be less" That Is a familiar salu-
tation. The origin Is dim, but may be
as follows: When persons have made
certain progress in the black arts they
are compelled to run through a sub
terranean hall, with the evil one after
them. If they run so fast that his
Satanic majesty can catch only their
shadow or part of it they become first
rate magicians, but lose either all or
part Of their shadow. The expression
means: May you escape wholly and
entirely from the clutches Of the foul
fiend.
1t is we'll known that after q man
reaches the age of about fifty-fve his
stature grows shorter; therefore his
shadow must be less. To say, "May
your shadow never grow less" means,
MAY you never grow older."-New
York Press.
