When one considers all these matters
there is little wonder that the Capitol
squirrels have grown exceedingly thin
During October and November they were
dependent fashion, paying little OF no
attention to those persons who offered
them peanuts or other food.
Now, however. all is different. The
gray coats cover lean, attenuated bodies
which show woeful lack of nourish-
ment. If a peanut Is thrown to the
Sq-zirrels there rs a fight for it at once
The little fellows hang around the edges
Of the walks and make mute appeals
with their pathetic brown eyes
The children have been their best
friends for the last few days and many

the little tots with the hungry rodents

Confirmed.
GENERAL N0DzU IN COMMAND,
Boil, Armies at Mukden are Entrench'
ing and Making Other Preparations
For strugsIe-Port Arthur sltua-
ton Alarming.

Moscow, Nov. 15,-Nemioyich
Danchenko, the well known Russian
war correspondent Of the Associated
Press, telegraphing from Mukden, says
the reports Of the death Of General
Kuroik are confirmed. According to
his version a splinter Of a shell struck
Kuroki, tearing out a portion of his
breast and abdomen. He died Octo.
Der 4 at Lilac Yang and his body was
sent to Japan. A rumor is persist
emily circulated that a kinsman of the
Mikado, Siaosanti literally Little
Third Prince" has been appointed to
succeed General Kuroki, but the &C.
tual command Of the army has been
entrusted to General Nodzu, who is
reviewing operations.
"For the last week." says Danchen-
ko, 1--WE have practically not advanc-
ed at any point on the whole south
western front even few versts furth-
er than we stood on October S. On
the contrary we, at several places,
have been obliged to retire several
versts, but the present lines of defens.
es must be considered permanent in
view of the strong Notifications con-
structed.. The Japanese positions at
several points are only 30 PAGES dis
tant from ours and must be consider.
ed to be occupied definitely by the
enemy. The latter Notifications are
acknowledged by all competent per
sons to be skillfully constructed.
Their trenches in many places are SO
cleverly concealed as not to be notice
able a short distance away, the earth
removed being carefully thrown in
front Of the trenches. The general po
sition causes a great tension on both
sides.
Alarming news has been received
from Port Arthur, but the absence Of
reports during the last few days makes
1t evident that the movement Of one
Of the other Russian armies will be
dependent upon the course Of events
there.
"On November II scouts on oul
right flank attempted to pierce the
line Of the Japanese Notifications but
were met with a stubborn resistance
and, finding the enemy strongly rein

CONFINEMENT.
Somebody tells me that we cannot

Somebody tells me that we cannot
be both contented and energetic,
That contentment means idleness
and do-nothingness, drowsiness Of
mind and body.
That contented people, being con-
tented, are willing to let things slip
along as best they may and do moth
ing to better themselves or their con-
ditions.
While the people who are discon-
tented, being disconnected, exert
themselves to attain greater things,
press forward, forgetting the things
that are behind, and reaching for.
ward to what is ahead.
Or, again, says this somebody, peo-
pie who call themselves contented
may be only resigned.
They are wishing matters to be DIFF
ferent, but since matters are as they
are they resign themselves meekly to
their hard fate.
OF course, there can be quibbling
Of words over the same idea, and
much arguing over terms.
But the terms and the words ere
unimportant. 1t is the spirit that
counts.
And there is a spirit of content.
ment that Is neither slothfllly sleepy
nor stoically, meekly resigned.
It is a contentment that knows the
difference between a June apple and
an October apple.
1t Is contented with a June apple
In June, but 1t Is not contented WIFI
a June apple in October.
In June 1t Is contented with the
pale green tiny fruit, but it expects
large, mellow, rudy fruit by October
1t is not contented with Juneness in
October.
In October 1t wants 0ctoberness
three months Of progress.
So to-day our contentment Is salts
fed with to-dayness, but tomorrow i
