steady Jobs Are Feeding the stock
and Keeping Warm.
The great steady winter jobs on an
American farm in the north nowadays
are feeding the stock and keeping
means hauling coal. When / lived in
the country, it meant cutting wood II
meant for our large family constant
teaming day after day from the woods
to the wood yard and a wood pile that
must have covered quarter of an
acre. 1t meant toward spring the COM
ing of men with horse power and
buzz saw to cut firewood, and that was
almost as interesting an operation as
thrashing.
There were other stirring days when
the lake had frozen hard and the ice
house was filled, involving ice cutting
and more teaming and more precarious
hitching on behind loads and going
back in empties. And early In the win
ter there was the momentous and CORY
killing of pigs. Oh, that was indeed a
stirring timei They kill a pig every
second, no doubt, in Chicago now
adays, but that is mere mechanical
routine, with no quality of sport in it.
There was nothing so very slow
about the country winter in days as
late as the civil war. I suppose soap
making as n domestic industry is as
dead as household spinning In those
times of wood fires and wood ashes all
self respecting families made soap.
Our family had an outstanding kitch-
en- expressly for that use, with a big
cistern-like hogshead behind it in which
ashes were leached and convenient
tubs for holding the soft soap. A very
handsome substance is soft soap of the
proper consistency and complexion, and
pleasing exercise it used to be for
the young TO stir it with a stick and
watch its fluctuations. All the super
duous fat of meat from our kitchen
was turned into soft soap in those near
by old times.-Harpers Magazine.

Question Of War.

London, Dec. 3l.--Lord Lansdowne's
diplomatic reception conferred on the
far eastern crisis The Russian am
bassador. Count Benckendorf, was
unable 10 give the British foreign sec
rotary any definite information re-
garding the tenor of the Russian re-
ply to Japan, as he had received no
advices on the subject from st. Peters
burg. The former secretary adopted
a slightly more hopeful tone TO the
other ambassadors than has prevailed
at the foreign office for the last few
days The Associated Press learns
that this is chiefly due to the persist
ent belief of the French foreign min
ister NJ. Delcasse, that he viii be able
to prevail on Russia to make such
compromises as will avert war
Ambassador Ghoate. after confer
ence with Lord Lansdowne, expressed
his continued conviction that pacific
solution would be found, and said the
indications were not warlike. This
belief was not shared by some of'Lord
Lansdowne's other callers. notably
the German ambassador, Count Wolff
Matternich.
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese min
lister, when questioned by represent
alive Of the Associated Press regard
ing M Delcasse's hopeful attitude,
| said he was aware the French foreign
minister was making strenuous eff
forts for peace. So far as Baron Hay
ashi knew these had not yet been
crowned with success. The Japanese
minister said:
The French government must be
in better position than that of any
other power to know the nature OF
the Russian reply. II they are honest
in saying they do not believe there is
danger of war they must be pretty
certain Russia will agree at least to
the spirit of the Japanese proposals.
Up to now we have had no indication
of this and unless Russia does agree
there scarcely seems any way of avert
ing war"
Minister Hayashi definitely said that
the Russian evacuation of Manchura
is not one of the Japanese cardinal
demands. Baron Hayashi has de-
elared that in the event of war he had
the best authority for saying that
France would not join forces with
Russia, even should China cooperate
with Japan, and that the triple alli-
snce would preserve strict neutrality.
For the former statement Baron Hay
ashi's authority is not known and his
belief in frances neutrality in case
of China joining in the conflict ere
ates some doubt and establishment
Great Britain appears to be conffn-
ing her diplomatic efforts to preserve
peace solely at Paris and Toxic She
has not attempted, it is asserted here,
to bring pressure TO bear at St.
Petersburg, leaving that phase of the
negotiations to France.
The foreign office here has received
practically no news that would indi-
cate what course Russia, now the sole
factor in the situation, intends to
take, except through Paris.

EDDIE Foy's STORY.
Head Comedian Tells How Terrible
Tragedy Was Enacted.

Head Comedian Tells How Terrible
Tragedy Was Enacted.
Chicago, Dee 31.-Eddie Foy. prin-
cpal comedian in the play, was ono
of the last to escape by getting out
through rear door after assisting the
women members of the company to
safety. He went into the Sherman
house in his stage costume and with
his face covered with grease paint, In
order to secure surgical attendance
for some burns which he had sus
tanned.
In describing the commencement OF
the fire Foy attributed the extent If
the catastrophe to the failure of the
freproof curtain to work properly.
Because of this, he said, the flames
readily obtained access to the main
part of the theater, the draft carrying
with it gas as well as fire, swept up
to the balconies, where the loss of
life was greatest.
'The fire began in the middle OF the
second act" said Mr.. Foy AN elee'
trio wire broke. was ground, and frorA
this flames were started in the rear
Of the stage. The stage is unusua
wide and there was so great draft
the flames spread rapidly They had
attacked all the scenery in the rear.
When it first started | went to the
footlights, and to prevent alarming
the audience, said that there was
slight blaze and that it would be bet
ter for all to leave quietly. Then l
stepped back and called for the as
bestos curtain to be lowered. This.
when about half way down, refused to
go farther and thus an additional draft
was created. This swept the flames
out into the auditorium and I knew
that the theater was doomed. ! hur-
ried back to the stage and aided in
getting the women members of the
company into the alley Some of them
were in their dressing rooms and were
almost overcome by smoke before
they could get down to the stage and
the curtain did not descend entirely
was what saved the lives Of the com
pany, although it caused such a hor-
rible catastrophe in the front of the
house. After the curtain had refused
to descend there came the explosion
of the gas tanks, and with the curtain
down all the fire and gas would have
been confined between the rear wall
OF the theater and the fireproof cur
tain in front. Under these circum-
stances it would not have been posi-
BILE for single member of the COM
pany to escape alive unless he or she
had been standing Immediately IN
front of the door leading into the
alley. AS it was, the draft carried all
the gas and fire out beneath the cur
tain and the company was saved, al
though their salvation was the death
Of so many poor people in front"

The following special has been fe-
ceived from Connellsville:
In the first list OF the injured. con-
piled on the scene OF the wreck OF the

but now, with all the dead except

F. S. Bishop and j. f. Martin, rep
resenting the Morgantown branch OF
the American Flint Glass Workers
Union, have been 10 town looking

son to suppose he was on the Inflated

Of many that Viol. in the frenzy

AN ABODE OF THE. DEAD.
Not Cemetery, but the Great Brit
fsh Museum


To say that the british museum is a
dead museum snay sound like Tat bias
phemy to those I'd Eabitues OF the In
stisution to whorn its atsmosphere is al
most the breath of their life and to
whom its treasures OF antiquity and
art are certainly the nourishment of
their minds and souls. But apart from
this little band of devout worshipers at
the shrine of learning the British mu-
scum seems to me quite dead-as dead
as door nail. | have been there many
a time, and went there again and
walked through long and silent CALLER
les peopled only by the gods OF Egypt,
India, China. of ancient Greece and
Rome and thronged only by those won
derful works Of sculpture wrought by
cunning hands long crumbled into the
dust of past ages, but whose spirit of
beauty and reverence still fingers in
these heroes and heroines of old re-
nown.
In some of the rooms one may see a
few nursemaids relieving the tedium of
their daily walk through Bloomsbury
by bringing their little charges TO the
museum, where they may amuse them
selves and get material for bad dreams
while the nurses themselves have a
quiet gossip.
In the holiday season also one may
see troops of Americans passing swiftly
through the galleries, doing" the mu-
scum with wonderful dispatch and
commenting with western levity upon
the relics Of ancient civilization and
the bones of prehistoric men.
But the Londoner does not come. The
time that he can spare from lunch hour
he devotes to a walk up Cheapside, the
Strand or Holborn, ito look at the
shops" The days work done, he takes
the first train home. On a Saturday
afternoon he prefers matinee. a game
of tennis or cricket or few hours on
the river l do not blame him altogeth-
er, but the fact remains that the Brit
ish museum is TO him an abode of the
dead, which he regards with the same
repugnance as tomb.-Philip Gibbs in
London Mail.

one day found badger in a trap not
much injured. Tying rope to its hind
leg, he drove the animal home-strange
to say, the captive beast jogging stead

little more trouble than pig going to
market. On reaching home the animal
was put for the night into paved
