"Reminiscences of the Japanese Adj
miraps Career In England.

OI the O8PAntbe Au-
miraIs Career In England.
A retired English naval officer who,
when a lad, was on board the training
ship Worcester at the same time as
the prominent Japanese Admiral Togo
tells the following "reminiscences of the
commander of the Japanese naval
forces, says London Nj. A. p.
Togo was constantly the victim of all
manner of chaff from the young Brit
ishers on board, who called him zone
-go-three- CO." Disliked at first,
perhaps because he was unlike his
mates, he grew in popularity on ac-
count of his remarkably alert mind and
agile body until at length he became
a general favorite with officers and
boys.
He stood all chair with a certain
amount Of bravado unless it touched
on his resemblance to the Chinese To
one fellow sailor who dubbed him
Chinaman he said with emphasis, "You
wait; when am the admiral 1 hang
you on the yardarm."
One day that Togo had his leave stop
ped for some small offense, Liberty boys
to go ashore" was piped, and the boys
went up to him and said, "Are you to
go?' NO" he replied. Immediately
the youngsters got round him and
pinched him for telling lies, shouting
at the same time, you are Togoy'
His Christian name being rather diff
fcult to pronounce, Togo was told by
one of the boys to shoot his godfather
and godmother on his return home.
1--WE do not shoot gods in Japan" was
his reply.
When Admiral Togo was at the
Thames nautical training college,
where he began his education for sea
career, the examiners did not credit
him with those gifts which he has
since turned to such good account in
dealing with his country's foes.
BY curious accident, when the
proofs of the "lists'' were sent to
the head master, he found Cadet
Togo's name appearing as mo co."
an error which was at once cor
rected, and rightly so in the light
of more recent knowledge.
The great fighter will no doubt smile
In his quiet way should be come across
this little story, which so well illus
trates the aphorism, Never prophesy
unless you know"

Neither will be allowed to do what
1t wishes. Wars are not ended in that
way in these days, but in such way
as the great nations think proper. In
her last war Russia had Turkey at her
mercy, but she was obliged to tear up
the treaty she had made at San Stefano
and to submit to such terms as the nom
combatant nations saw fit to allow at
Berlin. And in her last VS. Japan in
ficted a signal defeat upon China and
dictated the terms of peace in the
treaty of Simonoseki, which was rati-
fed on May s, 1895. But only two
days later, at the dictation of Russia,
Germany and France the Japanese
emperor signed document in which
he renowned and gave up the chief
advantages he had gained by that
treaty. Similarly now 1t is quite GER
tain that Japan will not become Rus
sian province, nor will there be any
yellow peril under the leadership of
Japan, for, no matter which side wins,
the treaty of peace will be made not
by the two combatants, but by a
congress of all the great powers, in
Guiding ourselves, SO far have unfor-
seen events carried us away from the
traditions of Washington. The terms
Of that treaty will be such as the great
nations think best for the interests of
the whole world and not alone of the
two nations who carried on the war"

Future of the American N.,,on

The census estimate of population
OF SO,O0O,0O0 in the United States has
moved the London Spectator to remark
that a population of $4,000. 600 of
whom 100000 are white men and
most of them of exceptional energy
and intelligence, speaking the English
language and living under Anglo Sax
on institutions, is tremendous fact.
1t adds:
IL the Union, as we trust and be-
lieve she will, escapes internal convul-
sions, she must rise in the next quar-.
Ter OF a century-that is, before middle
aged men alive today are very old
men-to a position of power and influ-
ence to which history hardly affords a
parallel"

BETTER THAN ORDINANCE

said a traveller, land being told that
there was no ordinance in regard to

my sentiments when the landlord of the
hotel, who had set men to clearing
path to his door. turned to me with:
Don't be in a hurry, stranger. Bill
will be along by and by and make it all
right" oiir
Il found that Bill was the city mar
shall, and a couple of hours after break
fast he came along with a doubfebar
relied shotgun. He passed the hotel to
say to the Saloonkeeper next door.

mo
".An right. TN be back in about an
hour, and if you haven't started it I'll
begin to shoot it Off
THE hint was sufficient and the sa-
loonkeeper was soon at work. There
were several others who hung out, but
were brought to time the same way. In
one instance the marshal had to begin
shooting, but no sooner had the double
charge plowed through the snow and
smashed out panel of the door than a
man and a snow shovel began work
and kept it up until a path was cleared.
They don't need many town ordinances
in the far west. A man and a shotgun
can most always put things through.

be deserted if men and women came to
the conclusion that prayer is not efica-

to believe that prayer will avert a ca

effort. If you are a drunkard or down
in the gutter realize that you are a lost
man if you do not help yourself. Stop
throwing the load on the Lord. There
is no one who can help you unless you
stand up like a man and make an effort.
