Will scatter on their pathway fairest

When I get rich!
When you get rich! Those friends you
loved so well
May not be here, but far beyead the
skies,
And never know the hidden love that lies
Within your keart-ah! foolish, vain sur

When you get rich!
Wait not till rich, but haste to do it now!
Yes, scatter srnshine-dry the falling
Light up with hope the darkenei heart

That may be near you-oh, never mind

When you get rich!

Just For Show.

An fastener on his way to Cali
fornia was delayed by the floods in
Kansas, and was obliged to spend the
night in a humble hotel-the best in
the town. The bill of fare at dinner
time was not very elaborate, but the
traveller noticed with joy that at the
bottom Of the card, printed with pen
and ink, was a startling variety OF
pies.
He liked pies, and here were GUS
tard, lemon, squash, rhubarb, Wash
ington, chocolate, mince, apple and
berry pies, and several other varieties.
He called the waitress to him.
"Please get me some rhubarb pie"
said he.
I'm afraid we amt got any rhu-
barb pie" she drawled.
He took another glance at the list.
"Well, get me some squash pie,
please"
I'VE haven't got that. either"
Berry pie?
"No."
Lemon piew
"No."

"Well, what on earth are they all
written down here for? On to-day's
bill Of fare, too"
"Well, I'll tell you," said the girl,
alphabetically. "That list is always
written down there for show when we
have mince pie, because when we have
mince pie no Il asks for anything
else"

British Feeling is at a High Pitch
and War Talk is Rampant.

Yokohama, Japan.-The VladiVostok
squadron sunk the steamer Knight
Commander, from New York, off the
Province of LEU, after transferring her
crew to the steamer Tsinan, which ar
rived here.
The Vladivostok squadron also cap
tured a German vessel, the Arabia,
with 10000 sacks of -four, and an un-
known British steamer. The Arabia IS
a Hamburg-American vessel, recently
chartered for service on the Pacific
coast OF America.
The two vessels were sent to Vladl-
vostok in charge of prize crews. The
American Trading Company is the
agent here for the Knight Commander.
London, Ensland.-The sinking Of
the Knight Commander by the Rus
slams seems likely to raise a storm
rivalling that caused by the seizure Of
the Malacca in the Red Sea. The act
is condemned as an extraordinary and
intolerable breach Of international law,
WHICH, udS llOl udu q pleSSueut LII Ace
ly a century.
The Morning Post regards it as an
act Of war, and asks sarcastically why
Great Britain l;eeps her navy on 4
"two-Power standard" and what the
British Government is for.
The Standard insists that the incl
dent cannot pass without the strongest
remonStrances and z demand for full
reparation. 1t says that the situation
is still exceedingly grave, and If it
continues unchanged it may involve
Russia in d serious addition to her
present embarrassments.
Prime Minister Balfour's cautious re-
plies to questions in the House Of
Commons hardly tend to allay the ma
tional disquietude. They suggest that
the verbal u given that the
British demands anent the Malacca
would be complied with have not yet
been followed by the acts necessary to
give effect to the assurances, while his
extremely circumspect language in
dealing with other aspects Of the
Russian treatment of British ship
ping shows clearly that the great

Government was experiencing lis in

"Tashichao has been definitely evac-

fought, apparently with the object Of
holding back a Japanese flank move
ment On Liaoyang."
According to reports from New

had been fighting daily, eliminating

The Russians resumed operations, at
lacking the japanese position on the
heights east Of Tashichao. Several

ing the Russians to retire to TienS-
huaituen, six miles from their base.
They were then reinforced and re-
opened fire with two batteries, main
tanning their position until 5 o'clock
in the afternoon, when the japanese
right flank suddenly appeared on the
hills southeast Of Tashichao and by q
tremendous fire compelled the Rus
slams to retreat hurriedly.
An hour later the japanese firing
line extended for fifteen miles. Its in
cessant storm Of shot and shell swept
the plain clear Of the Russians, whose
position at Tashichao became untena-
bic.
The Russians numbered 10000. They
resisted desperately for fourteen hours.
General Kouropatkin had ordered
them to hold their ground at all costs,
and it was only when the last hope
was gone that he sent urgent orders
for the evacuation of Newchwang.
