Joseph w. Folks Platform.

Mr.. Folks platform is as simple
as his speeches. "Thou shalt not
steal-even if thou art a Democrat
thou shalt not steal.' He reiterates
it everywhere as he stands on the
platform, short, thick-set and wear
ing on his face that look of quiet,
almost placid determination which is
photographed on the soul of every
boodler in Missouri. The farmers
trust him. Folk himself told me once
that he believed every Democrat in
Missouri with a beard more than two
inches long was with him. 1t is true.

A PLEA O EGGS.

Be gentle to the new-laid egg,
For eggs are little things;
They cannot fly until they're hatch'd,
And have a pair of wings.
If once you break the tender shell,
The wrong you can't redress;
The "yelk' and white will all run
out,
And make a dreadful "mess!'
IT'S but a little while at best,
That hens have power to lay;
Tomorrow eggs may addict be,
That were quite fresh tolay.
O, let the touch be very light,
That takes them from the keg;
There is no hanl whose cunnin. skill
Can mend a broken egg!

Russia Expects Much of Him

Paris, April 20.-The ST. Petersburg cor
respondent of the Echo De Paris, who is
an old acquaintance of Admiral Slzrydloff
was present at small dinner given the
admiral by a director of the Nevsky
Yards and succeeded in gaining his con-
fidence. He reports the admiral as saying
to him: Il shall arrive at Port Arthur
without a definite plan, leaving circum-
stances to dictate the activity of the
squadron | shall command. l shall begin
by infinitely inspecting the warships
which We still have and which We must
keep at all costs. l am determined to
surround myself with young men. That
is why ] have taken as my chief of staff
a mere commander, Stetenke, and have
not needed the tradition of selecting a
rear admiral
Later Vice Admiral Skrydloff said to the
correspondent:
Il realize that Russia expects much of
me. II is thought that / Will bring back
luck to the Russian navy. L ask nothing
better than this but after the terrible
disaster to the PetrOpavlovsk, our squad
ron at Port Arthur is greatly reduced,

rious page to japanese history by send
ing out my few ships TO be sunk but l
shall not give them that pleasure. / in
tend Zealously to preserve my ships for
a great occasion. | doubt whether the
Baltic squadron will be at Port Arthur in
time, for | think when il is ready to start
events will already have been accom-
plished which will render its presence
useless"
Asked whether he did not fear that the
Japanese would surround Port Arthur,
Vice Admiral Skrydlof said:
IF the Japanese try. to disembark
troops and cut the land communication,
so much the better. General Kuropatkin
has foreseen that possibility, and will be
able to dislodge them. We want nothing
better than landings en- masse. so that
the battles will be the more decisive
Il have put on my visiting cards both
Port Arthur and VIadivostock, for you
shall see the two squadrons united and
going backward and forward between the
two places.
Vice Admiral Skrydloff intends to seek
the blessing of Saint Sergius before start
