The garrison of Port Arthur is still sticking to their guns with the tenacity of their race, grimly reso1v- ed to fight to the bitter end. They are overwhelmingly outnumbered, but the character of the defenses behind which they are fighting counteryail this disparity in numbers. The mines over which the attacking forces have to march are the most effective of these defenses. A cable dispatch graphically describes Japanese regi- ments advancing in all the pride and circumstance of war"' There is a roar as if the very earth were rent assunder. A great mass of debris fills the air. The next moment what was regiment of soldiers filters the ground in the shape of torn limbs and mangled and blackened bodies. The mine has Accomplished it's deadly work in an effective manner More thousands are pushed forward only to meet with similar fate.

GREATEST OF LOVE POETS
Six Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of Petrarch the
 Italian.

On the 20th of July, 1904, was born the man who holds in literature the place of greatest poet of love, writes Lindsay Bashford, in the New York World Dante loved Beatrice as strong, severe mind can love woman seen but once on a Florentine bridge at twilight; wom- an who died ignorant of his worship and whom the exiled poet idealized and saw in the paradise of his imagination iL the divine comedy After Dante in the succession of great Italian poets comes Petrarch He loved Laura, and has avoWed his love in many sonnets ac- knowledged to be the greatest songs oi love in any language Yet Laura was married when Petrarch first saw her to an estimable husband, Hugh de Sade, and was the mother of several children. And Petrareh, ecclesiastic though he was, loved another woman at the same time and became the father of 3 son and daughter.
 Few men have been so versatile and so universally admired. His life was an accommodating triumph and singularly happy. Undisturbed by financial ques- tions, handsome, impulsive, adventur- ous, he travelled in his youth through Italy and Provence. He was one of the heralds of the Renaissance. He discov- cred, translated and explained the grea. Latin authors, especially Cicero, to the eager intellects of his day. He wrote in numerable Latin treatises on philos- ophy and learning. He was friend of Cola di Rienzi, the famous democratic tribune of Rome, of whom Bulwer Lyt- ton has given so clever picture in his famous novel. He was a reformer, an ardent lover of liberty, rebelling against the rigid rules of the church and the gross superstitions of the day. He be- came a dictator of learning, and men came to visit him from every country in Europe, on a pilgrimage to the in tellectual sovereign of the day. He spent long hours In conversation with Saint Augustine, whose Confessions he carried about with him always. He was friend of Boccaccio, the mental father of Ariosto. And all the time brilliant, honored, enthusiastic, he sang his songs-his "Trionf," his "Canzon- ieri"-over 300 of which we can read to-day; his songs to Laura as fresh and warm and graceful as if the two charm ing figures were living and singing in our midst.
 He had his faults. Vain, ambitious, cratic, luxurious, he was typical of the wonderful era in which he lived, the Renaissance, when men seemed sudden ly to awaken to the realization of how beautiful a thing life could be. Laura died in 1348, and he continued to sing of her, as gracefully as ever, until his own death in 1874. Intended by his parents for the law, he became instead scholar and a poet. His poetry has lived with that of the greatest worlds poets, and to those for whom poetry is an indis- pensable factor in wise and catholic education Petrarch must always be a brilliant figure. "The Italian Renais- sance," concludes the great contem- porary historian, Prof. Villari. twas a revolution brought about in theshuman mind and in culture by the study ot beauty" Petrarch was its herald, its prophet and in many ways its most ex- quisite exponent.

LABELLED WITH FALSEHOODS.

Dressing or living beyond one's means is nothing less than absolute dishonesty. If you are trying to do what you cannot afford to do, you are living a lie. If you are wearing clothes that you cannot afford, they are perpetual witnesses against you. They are labeled all over with false hood. If your jeWelry, your carri- ages, your furs and your costly gowns tell me that you are rich, when you live in a poverty stricken home, and when your mother is obliged to make all sorts of sacrifices to enable you to make this false display, you lie just as surely as you would if you should try to deceive me by your words. ,~s -s#.s % -.5
 The consciousness of being well dressed and.yet owing for it, riding in carriages which one cannot afford, of wearing jewelry and tailor made suits which are beyond ones means, or of l patronizing expensive hotels and res | taurants which one can not by any stretch of imagination or sophistry | afford, is destructive to self-respect, to truth and honesty, and to manhood and womanhood. You cannot afford to wear lies on your body or eat lies at expensive cafes any more than you can afford to tell lies with your l tongue. -.e.- .- Y r-.-,A ... :. ] There is only one possible result i upon character Of falsehoods, whether acted or told, and that is perpetual deterioration and demoralization. No one can act a lie or live lie without
 being dishonest. When man sacri- fees his honesty, he loses the main spring of his character, and he can not be perfectly honest when he is l lying by frequenting costly restaur- ants or hotels, by wearing expensive
 clothing or by extravagant living in 1 any of it's varied expressions when he l cannot afford it.-Orison Swett Mar

Citizens of Colorado prodded out of the state by Bells bayonets; mer- chants evicted for selling goods to union laborers; editors and preachers deported for criticising military des- potism; lawyers shot in their offices by miIitiamen for appearing in court as attorneys for miners; mine owners prevented by armed troops from work ing their properties with union labor, all appeal in vain to the republican ad- ministration for protection of their guaranteed constitutional rights against the uniformed rufian. They waste their breath.

From now until November MT Roosevelt will be obliged to ''bump the bumps" And the bumps on the slide are many He must come in contact with public distrust inspired by q headstrong egotism and incurable ar- rogance, says Washington correspon- dent. His contempt of law; his sub- stitution of his own royal will for the constitutional action of congress-; his affronting and threatening attitude to- ward our sister republics; his hasty and bellicose temper in foreign affairs; his suspension of the statutes of the land ill favor of rich and politically powerful trusts; his praise of Knox, the corporation lawyer and corporation protector, as the best attorney-g the country ever had; his dfsingenalous and ineffective dealing with corruption in the postoffice department; his in- suits to Admirals Dewey and Schley and General Miles; the .uneasiness and apprehension with which he has filled the business community by his war. like spirit and love for doing startling things these are bumps which Mir Roosevelt will have, to bump.

Russia's Women Criminals.

Russia's women criminals are for the most part peasants who have mur- dered their husbands. The prevalence of the crime is believed to be due to the custom of marrying off girls at an extremely early age. To this is also ascribed the excessive number of deaths among young children, the mortality under one year of age i1l Russia being 27 per cent, whereas ths European average is IS per cent Madrid Times

ROOSEVELT.

There are times when great fitness is hardly less than destiny, when the ele- ments so come together that they SC lect the agent they will use. Events sometimes select the strongest men, s:s lightning goes down the highest rod. And so it is with those events which for many months with unerring sigh; have led you to a single name which ] am chosen only to pronounce: Gentle men, I nominate for president of the United States the highest living type of the youth, the vigor and the promise of a great country and great age, Theo- dore Roosevelt of New York.
 As he confronted the convention, Gov. Black presented a striking figure. He is tall and gaunt. His hair origin ally dark brown, is liberally sprinkled with gray, his dark eyes look out sharply from behind spectacles and from beneath closely overhanging eye brows. Gov. Blacks voice. though not heavy, carried well and increased in volume as he got fairly under way. His epigrams provoked laughter and the, sharply turned sentences. fer which he is noted, never failed to raise d rip y,la of

A PROPHETIC BANNER.

The front of the platform was next occupied by an immense crayon bust portrait of President Roosevelt borne aloft by three men. Again, broke forth fresh applause and after a continued shouting of almost seven minutes, it was given a new impetus by Chairman Cannon, who walked once more to the front carrying his large banner.
 A delegate requested Chairman Can non to loan him the large flag he had carried, and with a smile, the chairman handed it down. Around the hall, it went followed by a long line of shout ing delegates. California, with its great banner of purple, white and gold, came marching down the center aisle and was followed by senators, members of congress and others prominent in the life of the nation, trooping along behind shouting, laughing and cheering.
 When Chairman Cannon had finally secured order, the secretary read the history of the flag, which Chairman Cannon had been wavink. Grasping the flag. and waving it over his head Mir. Cannon said: Tt prophesied vic tory in 1860, it's life has been baptized on many battlefields since, and 'tis safe in the hands of President Roosevelt. q Cheers followed and were increasing when Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, arose to second the nomination.
 MT. Beveridge spoke with force and increasing enthusiasm. He empassion- ed his points with graceful gestures with the right hand. The. senator's voice was probably the easiest heard

CALIFORNIA; ENDORSEMENT.

"
 When the convention had expressed it's appreciation of Indiana's second 10 the nomination, Chairman Cannon an- nounced that George A. Knight, of California, would second the nomina- tion. MT. Knight proved to be a phrase maker. "Cowardice, duplicity and dis honesty are not impulsive," shouted Mir Knight. Theodore Roosevelt is impulsive He hypnotizes obstacles" |" Speaker Cannon next introduced MT. Harry Stilwen Edwards, of Georgia.
 Cheers greeted Chairman Cannon's announcement: The chair recognizes Joseph B. Cotton. of Minnesota" and increased as he added: "I take pleasure in introducing to you, one of those young men of the republic who are do ing great things"
 Prolonged applause greeted the in- trodution of Harry s. Cummings. Q colored delegate from Maryland. MT Cannon introduced him os an Amer ican citizen whose people were brought from slavery forCy years ago and have made more progress in one generation than any race ever made" An ovation was given MT. Cummings as he closed after a few moments. Mir. Cannon then advaned to the front of the res trum and at 10:O9 announced the roll call for nominations for president.

the largest opportunities to the grounl. He does not always listen while all the sages speak, but every day at nighttall beholds aonne record which if not com plete has been at least pursued with conscience and intrepid resolution. He Is no slender flower swaying in the wind. but that heroic fibre which is best nurtured by the mountains and the snow. He spends little time in review, for that he knows can be done by the schools. A statesman grappling with the living problems of the hour he gropes but little in the past. He be . lieves in going ahead. He believes that in shaping the destines of this great republic, hope is higher impulse than regret. He belives that preparation for future triumphs is more import. ant duty than inventory of past mia. takes. A profound student of his. tory, he is today the greatest history maker in the world. With the instincts of the scholar, he is yet forced from the scholars pursuits by those superb qualities which fit him to the last de- gree for those great world currents now rushing past with larger volume and more portentous aspect than for many years before.
 NEED OF NERVOUSNESS
 The fate of nations is still decided by their wars. You may talk of orderly tribunals and learned referees; ycu may sing in your schools the gentle praises of the quiet life; you may strike from your books the last note of every martial anthem, and yet out in the smoke and thunder will always be the tramp of horses and the silent, rigid upturned face. Men may prophecy and women pray, but peace will come here 10 abide forever on this earth only when the dreams of childhood are the accepted charts to guide the destines of men. Events are numberiess and mighty, and no nan can tell which, wire runs around the world. The nation basking today in the quiet of content ment and repose may still De on the deadly circuit and tomorrow writhing in the tolls of war. This is the time when great figures must be kept in front. If the pressure is great the ma
 terial to resist it must be granite and iron. Whether we wish it or not, America is abroad in this world. Her interests are in every street, her name :s on every tongue. Those interests so sacred and stupendous should be trust ed only to the care of those whose power, skill and courage have been tested and approved. And in the mar whom you will choose, the highest sense of every nation in the world be- holds Q man who typifies as no other living American does, the spirit and the purposes of the twentieth century. He does not claim to be the Solomon of his time. There are many things he may not know, but this is sure, that above all things else he stands for pro- gress. courage and fair play, which are the synonyms of the American name.

THE CRASH OF APPROVAL.

Gov. Black pronounced the nominat- ing words at just 11:06 o'clock. As he did so,he retired quickly, from the plat form. But the words "Theodore Roose- welt" had not left his lips when there was a shout. The convention was on its feet. Like a crash of thunder that follows lightning. the enthusiasm be- gan. Flags were in the air, hats were thrown up, men jumped onto their chairs, women stood and shouted. The air was rent with one continuous pro- Ionged shout from thousands of throats. So mighty was the volume of sound that nothing definite in the way of articulation was dlstinguishable.
 At this point, the band struck up. It's strains, however, were only faintlJ dis cernible in the might din. Then, Chairman Cannon took a hand. Un- furling a tattered silk flag, he advanc- ed to the extreme edge of the platform and began waving it. The flag is the property of the Lincoln Mckinley as- scciation of Missouri, and it made it's first appearance at the republican na- tional convention in 1860, when Liz coin was nominated. It was then car ried by the Missouri delegation and was waved over the platform on tfat ocasion as on this. It was fuel to the flame of enthusiasm and the volume of sound increased.
