The Irish Soldiers Dream

A group of veterans were telling
stories at the Allyn house last even
ing, and one of the number related one
about when his regiment was down in
northern Virginia, says the Hartford
Courant. He said:
I'VE were sitting around the camp
fire one night, and for lack of anything
else to talk about, we began to tell
what we'd do If we had lot of money
One soldier said if he had pile of
money, he'd spend it all for tobacco;
another said he'd get out of the army
and go to Europe one said he'd buy
q yacht, and everybody had some spe-
cial object in view on which to lavish
untold wealth. An Irishman in the
party sat smoking his pipe, and didn't
seem to have much to say about 1t.
One of the boys asked him what he
would do if he had lot of wealth.
We'll, OrH tell Yez phat I'd do
moighty quick. Ord hire a substitute,
and Ord go to New York, and Old
put up at the biggest hotel in the city
OVID order about three bounds OF
phorterhouse steak, and ord have it

out in the hotel office, and sit down,
and put me feet up on the winder, and
look over me paper, and say, 'Oi Won

kaiser Not superstitious.

While on the subject of ghosts,
writes the Marquise de Fontenoy In
the Philadelphia Press, may mention
that although Emperor William has
strongly developed tendency to mysti-
clsm in religious matters, yet he is not
supersticious and sis probably the
first member of the house, and certain
ly the first ruler of Prussia, TO mani
fest the most pronounced skepticisrn
with regard to the existence of the IA
nous white Lady" who is said TO
have haunted the Castle or old Palace
of Berlin for hundreds of years, her
appearance, according to the popular
legend, invariably forboding the death
of some member of the reigning house.
Some time ago an imperial footman
was summarily dismissed by orders OF
the Kaiser for having circulated a
story that he had seen the specter in
the corridor. BY a strange coincidence
a young lieutenant who happened TO be
on duty at the time when the servant
claimed to have seen the White Lady
reported to his commanding officer that
he had seen the famous spook. The
subaltern was examined by the colonel,
who, subsequently learning of the
story of the footman, brought it to the
notice of the Kaiser.
William sent for the subaltern. The
Emperor asked in kindly tones:-
What was the lady like, was she
tall or short ?''
she was tall, your Majesty"
Kaiser How was she dressed?"
Lieutenant: "She wore a white pet
ticoat your Majesty, with a white
bodice had white cap on her head
and a long white veil flowing over it
ALL"
After a pause the Emperor continu-
ed WAS she carrying anything"
Lieutenant: "Oh yes, your Majes-
ty."
Kaiser What did she have in her
right hand?'
lieutenant: "A candlestick."
Kaiser: And what was in her left
hand?"
Lieutenant: "a box of matches"
Emperor William has a very keen
sense of humor, and the idea that the
White Lady, who dates from some
300 years ago or more promenading
about the corridors carrying matches,
which are a modern invention, caused
him to burst into roars of laughter, the
young subaltern gazing at him in the
meanwhile with open-mouthed as
constituent. When the Emperor re-
covered his composure he remarked
That will do. Don't let me hear
anything more about the White Lady,
and take my advice. Don't peer about
in the corridors of the palace at night,
for you might quite often see ladies
there attired in white petticoats and
bodices, carrying candlesticks and
boxes of matches in their hands"

Retort That Cost $50.

The appointment of Judge Stafford
of Vermont, to the district bench to sue
ceeded Judge Pritchard, who has been
named as circuit judge, says the Louis
vile Times, calls forth this story II ON
Representative Foster of that state:
when Chief Justice Chase, man
of great abilities and marked charac-
teristics, was presiding in one of the
country courts of Vermont, an appeal
case from Justices court came up be-
fore him SO small and contemplate in
its origin that he ordered it stricken
from the docket. The case was where d
turkey had trespassed upon the garden
of a neighbor and got shot for his dep
relations. The owner brought suit to
recover damages, and, failing before
the justice, had appealed the case.
Judge Chase was angry, and when he
ordered the case from the docket, said
THE lawyer who consented to appeal
this case ought to be thrown from the
window of the court room. Why didn't
he have the case referred to some of
the honest neighbors for settlement"
because, your honor, retorted the
attorney, getting hot under the collar,
1T was our intention not to let hon
est people have anything to do with 1t.
True, this was neat retort, but it
cost the lawyer an even $50 for con-
tempt of court

Health Cultures Tension.

From the Chicago Tribune.
We live and move by counts of ten
Health cultures hopeful maids and
men.
AT daybreak when our waking eyes
Look out upon the world we rise
And fill our lungs with pure ozone,
Debate, and then initiate again,
Repeating, in a measured tone,
The tally, till we come TO ten;
For ten deep breaths are held the best
To broaden and enlarge the chest,
Ten rubs upon the Uranium
Induce the tagging hair to come;
Then up and down one puts the
weights
Until ten lifts he calculates;
Ten circles with the Indian clubs;
The foils-count ten, then haste to
plunge
Ten seconds in the waiting tubs,
Then ten more seconds with the
sponge;
Ten minutes rubbing down, and then
Into our clothes. by counts of ten.
At breakfast, which is nuts and fruit,
Ten chews to every bite compute;
Count ten before you take the next
And eat with countenance pnvexed,
Then forth to do your daily toll
Ten steps each time that you inhale.
Ten to exhale--health culture's Hoyle
Says such a system capnot fail.
At work the most successful men
Perform each act by counts of ten.
At luncheon. which is fruit and nuts,
One counts to tepleach time he shuts
His teeth upon q healthful bite,
Then ten to chew. and he's all right;
Ten minutes rest, then back to work,
Rejecting opk ones growing strength
And how The little muscles Turk
Until by tens they bulge at length.
When work is done-we ride home
then,
But pay out fares in counts Of ten.
A dipner-which is nuts and fruit,
Arranged in heaps OF ten to suit
Then we may settle down to read
Ten pages Of some healthful screed;
Ten minute stunts Of exercise
We take with bells and clubs again,
Until the clock, health culture wise,
Is heard serenely striking ten
IT'S then we lock and bolt the doors
And WOO our ten health culture shores

Dalny is now in the hands of the
Japanese, who have found in the port
much valuable war material and COM
Portable barracks. The Russians de-
stroyed the docks and number of
vessels, but their fight from the city
seems to have been so hurried that
the work of destruction was not as
thorough as had been contemplated.
Dalny will now, of course be made a
Japanese base for operations against
Port Arthur, and it will be found a
valuable one. The fall of Port Arthur,
without the intervention of some
event altogether unexpected, is evil
IDENTIFY matter of only a short time.
The foreign correspondents look for it
to occur about June 20. but on previous
occasions the Japs have had way. of
bringing aoout occurrences in advance

of Port Arthur may be no exception

THE "NAMELEss WHEEL"

Senator Depew of New York advises
young men to avoid department clerk
ships in Washington. Speaking to a
number of Yale law students the other
day he said, among other things:
When young man buries himself
In a department he limits his ac-
quaintances to the men in the small
circle about him. He becomes
merely small and nameless wheel
in d great machine, where he may be
exceedingly useful but where others
obtain the credit often for what he
has done. Many a cabinet Off
Ger has had a name made for him as
a great administrator by an unknown
clerk grown old in the service on
small pay"
In the public service-diplomatic and
consular as we'll as departmental-af-
fairs are dominated by politics. 1t is
not merit but political influence that
secures appoin tments and promotions.
The civil service law may keep a man
in his job, but it seldom advances
him to anything like prominence and
importance. There are, of course, some
exceptions to the rule. Secretary of
Commerce and Labor George B. Cor
telyou entered public life by the civil
service route and has worked up to
cabinet position. But he had strong
political backing as we'll as his inher-
ent ability. Besides, the Cortelyou in
cident is of so rare kind in the pub
lie service that 1t can be referred to
only as the exception that proves the
rule.
Many young men seek clerkships
in Washington in order to provide for
their wants while they are learning
profession. Senator Depew says that
the majority of such men, once they
have fallen into the rut of govern
ment clerical work. never leave it.
Their ambition is deadened, their mi
tiative is destroyed and they remain
clerks all their lives: or, if they lose
their jobs in Washington, they are
fit for nothing else. And it is the
same with respect to the consular and
diplomatic services. With respect to
the latter the Senator said: ''If there
is a change in the administration the
man is turned out, and becomes one
of the most useless members of Ameri-
can society. What to do with such
men is a problem that has not been
solved"
The thing for the young man to do
is to get out and hustle. not vege-
tate and finally stagnate in a gov
eminent job. 1t may be little hard
at first, but the man who hustles is
the only man who wins permanent
success.

story, which we find in the New York

submit. is worthy of going into the

PEACE TALK AT ST. PETERSBURG.


The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the London Telegraph says il is the
opinion in the highest classes in that
city that If the japanese succeed in
taking Port Arthur Russia should take
steps in the direction of peace. II
hardly seems reasonable that the cor
respondent can be we'll informed. If in
the most intelligent classes at the Rus
sian capital there is already talk of
peace Russia cannot be very hopeful Of
o successful outcome of the war.
And what terms of peace could Rus
STA get under such circumstances? She
would have to give up all she has been
contending for and might nave TO pay
large war indemnity. Japan would
be satisfied with nothing less than the
evacuation of Manchuria and an agree
ment to make no further attempt to
get a foothood in Korea. She would
also demand a large war indemnity,
Russia couldn't afford to make such
concessions as these. She would lose
whatever prestige she has gained in the
Far East and would have to abandon
her plans for extending her empire in
that part of the worId-plaus which she
formed in connection with her Siberiaa
railroad.
There is no doubt of course that Rus
STA was totally unprepared for war
when Japan attacked Port Arthur. She
felt certain that she would be able 10
accomplish the end she aimed at by
means Of diplomacy. 1t seems strange
that she wasn't better informed-that
her impressions of the Japanese people
We're so erroneous.
1t seeq1s that there has hcen a dis
agreement between Gen. Kuropatkin
and Alexieff the viceroy. 1t was said
some time ago that it was Gen. Kuro-
patkin's idea that it would be advisa-
bic to abandon Port Arthur and retire
to Hardin. or the shores of Lake Bal
kal, and there await reinforcement AMI
prepare to conduct campaign in which
Russias chance for success would be
far greater than to undertake to hold
back the Japanese with the compare
lively small army at his disposal. If
that was his idea it wasn't acted upon.
The idea of Alexieff is to prevail. Port
Arthur is to be defended. and, as al
ready pointed out, there is talk of pro-
posing peace if that fortress should be
taken by the Japanese.
The statement is made that Port Ar
thur is provisloned for a year. and
there is no doubt that it is strongly
fortified. The Japanese, however,
have no doubt of their ability to take
it. and 1t seems they intend 10 take it
by assault That will involve a great
loss of life. but they do not seem to
care for that. Stirring news from Port
Arthur therefore may be looked for in
the near future. But if Port Arthur
should be taken it is very doubtful If
Russia would make overtures f peace.
