FoRBPAUGH AND SELLS

Fools imagine a boss Snowman has
nothing to do but to sit in big leather
chairs in hotel corridors and decline to
be interviewed, leaving all the work Of

Peter Sells of the Sells Brothers, in All
article in Golfers Weekly Truth is,
the proprietor must know more and
work harder than any one in his EN-,
ploy. Even if he cannot do stunts in
the ring himself, he knows how each
particular performer should do his act.
He must be omniscent. He must
know all about wild animals, their
haunts, habits, food and cost of main
tenance. He must know what kind of
hides different kinds Of harness must
be made of. He must know every
point OF every horse, from a draught to
thoroughbred He must know all
about painting and the values OF
paints and oils; must have a knowledge
of foodstuffs of every description for
man and beast; about municipal legis
lation and license laws in all cities; he
must be veterinarian, a printer, pa
permaker and photographer. must know
all about crops, when harvested, when
sold, in all sections of the country;

instance, that the last of May or the
first of June is the only time a circus
will ''go' in st Louis; must know the
art of advertising in all it's branches
and the relative value of notices in the
principal newspapers in every city and
town; must know all about railroading,
from the way a car is built to the sci
ence of transportation on land or sea.
Above all, he must know that it is no
longer possible to humbug the public.
These are few things that l think
ought to know, for have been a-cir-
cusing for three and thirty years. In
accidents, delays and losses, I discov-
cred at the outset the disadvantages of
not knowing things. / remember an
instance in 1882, when circuses were
new to railroads-until few years be-
fore that such shows were hauled
about the country by horses Our train
pulled within sight of Columbia, s. O.,
then suddenly stopped! We were at
the end of a bridge which was too
small to admit the cars containing our
wagons. As we were obliged to con-
tinue the journey south over that road
we had to make a detour of 250 miles,
losing the stand in Columbia besides.
and all because I had failed to inform
myself regarding the height of that

Russian Forces Driven Out

NEWS COMES FROM RUSSIAN CAPITAL

After Two Hours Fighting Cossacks
Withdrew Under Fire of Bat-
teries-Kuroki Keeps Cars

LONDON. June IA st. Peters
burg dispatch says the Japanese have
taken Siuyen, driving out the Rus
slams. The enemy appears to be ad-
vancing on Haicheng.
Japanese infantry brigade, two
mountain batteries and FIVE squadrons
of cavalry appeared before the town OF
Siuyen on the south side, but were
checked by very successful fire from
the Russian batteries
Japanese infantry advancing by the
Fengwangcheng road came in contact
with the Cossacks holding the pass to
the town. After two hours fighting the
Cossacks were obliged to retire, and
the Russian artillery opened fire along
the pass, not allowing the Japanese to
establish themselves. At this moment
a Japanese mountain battery arrived
and took position to the south, but
after firing few rounds was silenced
by the Russian guns. A second Japa-

uate its position under the Russian
fire
In the course of the fight a thanking
movement by several battalions of Jap
anese infantry was observed northeast
of Siuyen, threatening our line of re
treat. Consequently our Cossacks grad
ually withdrew FIVE miles from Siuyen,
keeping up their fire from a battery on
dense column of the enemy at range
of 500 yards. The fire slackened about
5 in the afternoon. Among our losses
were Cheremissineff. chief of Cossacks;
Coronet Konarovski and Lieutenant
Colonel Possokhoff To all appearances
the Cossacks were engaged with troops

News of the Japanese victory at Stu.
yen furnishes food for considerable
speculation regarding the real Japanese
objective. Whether the capture Of Stu
ven constitutes a forward movement in
force, military authorities here do not
pretend to know. It's character depends
largely upon whether General Kuroki
has the number of troops with which
considered possible that the japanese
may attempt to push across the PENN
sula and establish new base at New
chwang.
The direct road to Newchwang passes
south of Haicheng Such a movement
on the part of General Kuroki might
precipitate a serious engagement in the
neighborhood of Haicheng if General
Kuropatkin considered the time ripe to
contest the advance seriously. But it
is also pointed out that the japanese
movements to Saimatze and Siuyen
may be either feints or merely a con.
tinuation of an effort to distract the
Russian attention from Port Arthur.
A Chefu dispatch says: THE Japa-
nese consul has discovered that wire

the night time to the Russian consular
flagstaff here and that the consulate is

OAKvlLLE HAPPENINGS

Last evening there was force OF
about fifty men hard at work on the
new ball field in order to get it in con-
dition for game today The base
ball nine of the OakviIle Co.'S employees
played their first game there this at
ternoon with team from Waterbury
composed of the employees of the
Roger & Bro Manufacturing Co.
The schools on Main and Davis
streets were kept open to-day in order
to give the children an opportunity TO
see the circus on next Friday, which
was to be the last day of this term.
Consequently those schools will close
on Thursday.
Mr. and Mrs William Egtton of Wa
terbury have moved into John Lynch1s
residence near Davis street
The Misses Mary and Katie Kelley
have been visiting friends in Danbury
for few days.
Among the thoughts most capable of
making us rightly estimate our being
and all the diversified things that con-
cur in making it what it is. and OF
prompting us to make the most OF life,
there is one almost intuitively known
by all, and yet which seems to be lit
tie pondered on; the thought that a
few years ago, SO to speak, we were
not, and now we are. To experience
all the benificent effect of this COM
monplace thought contemplate 1t be-
fore the rising sun whensits beams are
reflected in the dewdrops; or at. sun
set when the horizon seems to be set
afire with its glowing brightness; or on
a bright evening when the sky is be-
decked with countless stars and the
moon appears smiling over the earth;
or before any of the grand spectacles
nature increasingly offers to our view.
Man indeed has in him the principles
of joy and gladness, but they are like
the strings of a musical instrument
they must be played upon in order to
have them produce their effect.

yulsions. 1t would cause an enormous
shrinkage of real estate values, quick
ly followed by the depopulation OF
many localities now prosperous and
growing. And Eastern merchants
and manufacturers would find that the
bottom had dropped out of the biggest
part of their Western market.
We have but to reverse the PROPOSE
ton TO understand what it means to
double the irrigated area of the West.
1t means, of course, vast increase in
the number of paying mines and, con-
seouently, in the annual production
of precious metals. 1t means higher
prices for railroad securities and real
estate. and more business for Eastern
merchants and manufacturers. In a
word, irrigation is the straight road to
national prosperity-the surest infiu-
ence making for it's continuance and
for its constant enlargement.
The stupendous enterprise ofreclaim-
ING the desert lands of halfa continent,
and settling them with a productive
population, has now gone far beyond
the bounds of private enterprise. 1t has
become a national undertaking. ma
tional aspiration. 1t is the latest and
the biggest thing to which Uucle Sam
has set his hand. And it will not only
double. but increase tenfold, the irri-
gated area of the West.
ENORMOUS DIVIDENDS.
Considered only in relation to min
ing, the policy of national irrigation
would be amply justified, for it would
return vast dividends to the country
on its investment in that way alone.
But it is impossible to view it longer
in that narrow light. 1t ramifies in
every direction and sends its influence
into every channel of the nations
life.
This conquest of national resources
in the wide West is greater under
taking than the conquest of all the is
lands and archipelagoes in the seven
seas. 1t means work and homes, indie
pendence and contentment, for future
millions of our countrymen. And it
is another and more striking instance
of ''duty and destiny"

BRAHMAN PROVERBS.

He that committeth no evil hath
nothing to fear.
Mix kindness with reproof and rea-
son with authority.
OF much speaking cometh repentance,
but in silence is safety.
The first step toward being wise is to
know that thou art ignorant.
Envy not the appearance of happi-
ness in any man, for thou knowest not
his secret griefs.
Indulge not myself in the passion of
anger. 1t is whetting a sword to wound
thine own breast.
Consider and forget not thine own
weakness, so shalt thou pardon the
failings of others.
The heart of the envious man is gall
and bitterness. The success of his
neighbor breaketh his rest.
This instant is thine. The next is in
the womb of futurity, and thou know
est not what it may bring forth.
As veil addeth TO beauty, so are a
mans virtues set off by the shade
which his modesty casteth upon him.
As the ostrich when pursued hideth
his head, but forgetteth his body, so
the fears of a coward expose him to

May Get Well.

Itnow seems that Nels Petersen, who
attempted suicide last Friday in Car
son, stands very good chance of re-
covering from the self inflicted wound.
In spite of the fact that bullet passed
through his head from one temple to
the other, yet his strength is increas-
ing and the general conditions point
to recovery.
The physician who has the case in
charge cannot tell as to the sight, as
it is feared that the optic nerve has
been entirely shattered, in which ev-
ent the unfortunate man will be de-
prived of his sight. There is a faint
chance of saving the sight of one eye.
Petersen now expresses deep regret
for the act and is content to get along
without his eyesight if he can recover
The man certainly has robust con
stitution and stands a very gooo
chance of recovery.-Appeal.

With regard 10 the training of a
beagle. he has TO be treated on quite n
different plan from the setter and
pointer. In their cases a great deal of
work of training is TO conquer natural
propensities, whereas with the beagle
you encourage him to 90 on and do all
he can in seeking and chasing when
found. Young dogs are usually put
down with an older one, and very
few lessons suffice. 1t comes as nat
ural to beagle to run scent as for a
terrier to kill rats, and if there is no
apparent inclination one lesson usually
provokes it, The less one interferes
