THE DESERTER's RETURN
by M. QUAD.

Coz.
IT was all over with Private John
Hobson. For two years he had been
4 member of Company &c" Tth regi-
ment, stationed on the frontier, and
ever since the first week he had been
on the blacklist. He got drunk; he
disobeyed orders; he quarreled with
his comrades; he fell asleep on sentry
duty: he left the post without leave;
he was the most siovenly man of his
company. It was far easier to tell
what he hadn't done than what he
had
Private John Hobson had been adj
vfsed reprimanded, sent to the guard
house, mulcted of his pay, given extra
duty and threatened with court-mar-
tial, but after two years he was the
same man still. 1t was inevitable
that the end would come. and come it
did. He was court-martialed on about
q dozen charges and convicted on all
of them, and the sentence was that he
be Imprisoned for one year and then
he discharged in disgrace. 1t was a
duty the officers owed the regiment
and the service, and yet they felt bit
sorry for the victim. He was morally
irresponsible rather than vicious. The
devil in him had more likely descend

such men as you are shirks when
there is any lighting to be done. Your
barrack brawls don't signify soldierly
courage. It's no use to talk, however;
you know your sentence"
Hobson was sent to the guard-house
to wait for the day when he should be
sent off under escort. and the sergeant
of the guard was surprised to see his
prisoner shed tears.
"You ought to have known 1T would
come" he said in sarcastic sympathy.
Look here, sergeant" said the man.
as he crowded back his emotions, "the
colonel called me a coward"
well, do you find any fault about
ser.
DO you believe I'm one?"

que that the growing intimacy between France and Italy is due to the triumph of Liberal views in both those coun- tries So long as France was regarded in Italy as the eldest daughter of the Church. and was believed to maintain through Cardinal Rampolla the most intimate and confidential relations with the Vatican. Italians were accustomed ito look to Germany as a great Protes- tant Power and to the Emperor Wn- liam as the champion of religious lib- erty as opposed to Ultramontanism. The present quarrel of the French gov ernment with the Clemcals and the sim ultaneous recognition of the power of the Catholic Center in Germany have entirely reversed this situation. Neith- Ter the exchange of courtesies between the Emperor William and King Victor Emmanuel at Naples nor the meeting |of Signor Tittoni with Count Goluchow- ski at Abbazia is thought to diminish the significance of the enthusiasm with which the Italian people welcomed the French President. Some German cor respondents console themselves with the reflection that Italian enthusiasm is often evanescent, and that when the visit of M Loubet is forgotten self-in- terest will show that the true strength |of Italy's political position lies in the maintenance of the Triple Alliance. But they add that this alliance can never recover it's former popularity south of the Alps until it is realized that the friendship between Germany and the Vatican is superficial, and that there is a great gulf fixed between the Kaiser and the Pope.
 The people of the United States are fortunate in not being bothered by such incidents and appearances as these. All they have to wonder about is what the political performances mean, whether the trusts can be bust ed etc, etc.

 The visit of Marquis Ito to the United States recalls an incident in which the marquis polished chief secretary and an inexperienced St. Paul newspaper reporter were the chief stars. It hap pened when Ito was in the United States in 1901. The secretary, a member of the Japanese House of Lords and suave diplomat, who was educated in English and German universities. re- eeived the reporter, who was sent by his city editor to "cover" Ito's visit to St. Paul. Me newspaper man. Me writee news. Me heardee marquis very ill He better to-day? You savve?" be- gan the reporter. to the secretary's amazement. But the latter was equal to the occasion. 'Me savve," he said, gravely. Marquis he no better. 'Velly blad. Catchee cold. Doctor him no let tee him leave bled to-day. You savve?" The interview proceeded this way for few minutes, but at length the secre- tarv said: ''The marquis is greatly fa- tigued, regret to say, by his arduous journey, but you will be relieved to learn that he is not seriously i'll. Good morning." The reporter gaspingly re- treated to the outer air.

NOT INDfCAYlYN.

That is sad story which comes from the West. It tells that Mrs. Elizabeth J. Lunn, the treasurer of the Woman's club in Elgin, Illinois, is defaulter in the sum of $S60O, which she used for other than club purposes during the past two and a half years. The club has supported the Sherman hospital, containing nearly fifty beds. It was proposed to erect a $12,O00 addition to the hospital, and for this purpose large deposits were carried. Mrs. Lunn was particularly anxious to be reelected and her undue canvassing led the pres ident of the club, Mrs, R. D. Hollen- beak, to investigate the accounts. It is said that the shortage will be made good by friends of Mrs. Lunn, whose defense is, Father is old and inf1rrn. We are all getting old, and needed the money worse than the Woman's club. II am not sorry that I took it"
 One swallow doesn't make a summer, and of course this incident should not be taken as in any way indicating that the new woman is in any way becoming like the old man. And it may be mo- ticed that Mrs. Lunn gives as good a reason for stealing as can be given. She and her folks needed the money. Many men who steal don't give as good reason for their crimes as that.

RICH

We are richer than mud. Yea, rich as gold. During the last few weeks gold has gone out of this country in way that would once have made trouble for the stock market and several other things. Now nobody minds anything about it except to think and say that it lis all right The exports of gold do not lequa1 the additions that we are receiv- ling from foreign countries and from
 the Alaskan and Yukon mines, to say nothing of the output of the gold mines
 of Cripple Creek. The increase in our gold stock has been between $75, 1000, 900 |and $S0.000,000 a year. Outside of the usual channels we have received addi-
 tions of about $50, 000,000 from Japan. The sum lately received from Japan is greatly in excess of her gold indebted
 ness to us at any time in the past and
 very likely some of it comes from war supplies secured in the United States.
 Great quantities of grain, canned meats and other food stuffs have. been going
 to Japan from ports in this country during the past six months, the result showing in the payment to us of some- thing like $30,0OO00O gold.
 With gold flowing in faster than it is flowing out, and with the per capita up to 531 and over we ought to be happy, and we may be yet.

Russia has announced that it is for the interest of all good white folks that she is victorious in her war with Japan, and now comes Professor Fred erick Starr Of the University of Chica- go saying that if Japan is successful in the war with Russia the doom of the white race is sealed. "The war in the East" he says, lis war of races and not a war of nations. Every race has it's day. The day of the white race is almost past. England is on it's last legs. Statistics show that one child of every hundred of English birth becomes a Iunatic. The country is exhausted and its strength is on the wane. The same thing is true all over Europe
 Professor Starr patriotically omits to say that the white race in this country is on it's very last legs, but he appar- entlv would say so if he were pressed. And this just when it is doing some of it's greatest work and reaching out all most to Japan to bless and benefit poor little brown men. Perhaps Professor Starr is somewhat discouraged by life in Chicago and what he sees of the white race there.

sallie's Club.

Since Sallie joined a woman's club there
 is no problem known, And things that used to vex us all have
 very simple grown, For Sallie's club debates upon whatever
 is of note, And, having heard the arguments, it
 settles all by vote The world is growing better, or the
 world is growing worse; We've earned a benedietion, or, 1t may
 be, it's a curse, read this in the papers and that wise
 men disagree, But Sallie's club has settled it by vote
 of ten to three. I give to her the latest news of Russia
 and Japan, And know there is confusion there
 enough for any man. I cannot for the life of me decide just
 which is right, But Sallie says, Japan, of course: we
 settled that last night The greatest man that ever lived has
 often caused debate, But Sallies club has settled 1t by vote
 of six to eight. The tendency of unions IS a subject men
 call live, But Saliies club has settled it by vote
 of ten to five. Are trusts a danger to the State I've
 often sought to learn, Rut in the mass of arguments the truth
 could not discern. I mentioned it to Sallie once, and then l
 straightway knew, For Sallie's club has settled It by vote
 of twelve to two. And so it is with everything that deals
 with church or State; There is nothing on which her club has
 not held some debate, And if | wish to know the truth, why
 Sallie then can quote Decisions from the records and the last

Then the lovers of art got to- gether and made such a row that the question was reconsidered.
