swiftly and smoothly like an ordinary

by an ordinary velocipede or bicycle

Navajo Wrestler

Wrestling as form Of athletic ex-
ercise seems to be common to all
nations and throughout all history
Curiously the tribes in the interior OF
Africa have been found to be skillful
wrestlers, as are the natives Of India
and the Indians of America. The rules
governing wrestling matches among
the Navajos, singularly enough, are
very similar to those recognized among
civilized people for centuries.

Mabel's Secret

When Mabel smiles she shows the world
Two rows OF teeth so dazzling white
They almost rival Alpine SHOWS;
Indeed no words that I may writa
Will half portray the lovely sight.
They are the envy OF the girls.
The charm which most attracts the men
Who almost fight to reach her side;
There's always one, and sometimes ten,
Waiting for her 70 smile again.
And though the praise to Mabel goes.
And all the admiration, yet

One satisfaction which I get
know I made a lovely set

RUSSIAN WARSHlP
TO Be DlSMANTLED
Captain of the Lena, at San Fran
cisco, Asks for In
structions.
Disposition Of Officers and Grew
the Sole Point Unde-
cided. L..

Washington, Sept. 15.-Captain Ber-
linsky, commanding the Russian ship
Lena, at San Francisco, has informed
Rear Admiral Goodrich that he desires
to dismantle his ship, and has asked
as to the extent to which this disman-
Element should be made. Admiral
Goodrich has called on the navy de-
partment for instructions and the de-
tails are now being worked out by the
navy and state departments. The state
department is in Geographic communi-
cation with Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador, and the incident will be
closed in short time.
1t is expected that the Lena will be
dismantled at the navy yards, Mare
Island. This action will mean the re-
moval of all her fighting weapons.
The one detail regarding the Lena
which has not yet been decided is what
disposition shall be made of her off
GERS and crew. The invariable prece-
dent on this point is for the crew Of
the dismantled ship to remain in the
port where the ship has been interned
to the end Of the war.
Minister Takahira called on Acting
Secretary Adee today in connection with
this case. He has had no instructions
from his own government, and is con-
sequently at liberty to act on his own
initiative. However, he told Mr.. Adee
that the Japanese government has such
perfect confidence in the disposition of
the United States government to do the
right thing in relation to the Lena that
he felt it was unnecessary for him even
to make suggestion as to the DISPOSE
| ton Of the case.

up their courage with intoxicants ara
classed as nonsense, the best evidence to
the contrary being the remarkable en-

The Japanese were today (Wednes-

the second stage of the Japanese move
ment has not yet been completed by
any means. The first was to the north

already have taken 100 large barges

It is Stated that the Japanese are
carefully preparing their turning ana
gage in another big battle before the
Occupation Of TELLING. These prepara-
tions are expected to occupy one month.
