the muddy wheels. For all of which
things coppers were to be gained, some
times even silver, But the board with his
undesired flowers hampered him. The
violets represented all his fortune, and
their responsibility weighed heavily.
Once when a hanson stopped near him
to take in a lady, he had been unable to

punches dropped in the mud as he opened

and a policeman hustled him out Of the

lunch Of bread, remembering suddenly
that he was faint and hungry.
After eating, his resolution came back.
He had to make three bob" He had
given his word to Liza and Liza always

The storm was over now, and the sun

a h~alf-penny In his anxiety to get away
and left him with a gain Of ivepence half

he spent the halfpenny for q cup OF
cocoa at a coffee shop to brace him up for
the work that lay before him, but he swal-

The placards Of the evening papers had
appeared In the streets announcing a fire
in London, in which some women had beer

He had been hoping against hope that
there would be a good placard tonight,

laps LEARN IN AMERICA
Admiral Uriu and Others Graduates of
United States Naval Academy
Into Their Profession,

Annapolis, Nd, special: To everyone
following the developments in the Russo
japanese war in the far east it may be
Of interest to learn that the United States
laval academy in this city has turned out
a dozen or more japanese naval officers,
several Of whom are now serving in the
emperor's navy and working hard to win
victories for their fatherland over Russia,
In 1868, when Japan began the transfor-
nation Of her barbarous country into a
civilized nation a request was made upon
the congress Of the United States to al
low the appointment of Japanese stu
dents to the naval academy in order to
assist in the upbuilding Of a modern navy.
Congress In 1869 acceded to this demand
and a joint resolution was passed permit
ting the appointment Of foreign students
to Annapolis.
In the same year the japanese empire
sent it's first son over in the person Of
Zun Zou Matzmulla, who entered the
a academy and graduated in due
course. The next one to come was Ko-
roku KATE, and he was followed within
a year by Giro kunitomo. Both Of these
graduated with the class Of 1877. Three
others graduated in 1881. Among these
was Sotokichi Uriu, who is now an adj
miral in the navy and is commanding the
Japanese squadron that sunk two Russian
ships at Chemulpo.
In all there have been fifteen japanese
students to enter the naval academy, and
of this number seven completed the pre-
scribed four years course and received
their certificates. The names Of those
who have been graduated from here are
as follows: Zun Zou Matzmulla, 1873;
Koruku Katz, 1877, Yonsoke Enouye. 1881;
Tasuka Serata, 1881; Sotokichi Uriu, 1881;
Hiroaki Tamura, 1900.
No record is kept of the movements and
assignments Of the Japs after leaving the
naval academy, but the following facts
relative to some Of them are obtainable
from Park Benjamin's history Of the ma
val academy, published in 1900: Zun Zou
Matzmulla was retired from the navy
with the rank Of an admiral; Koruku
Katz died when commander; Kunitomo is
now a retired captain, and Uriu is now an
admiral. Sandanvu Youchi, who was
withdrawn from the academy before fin
lshing the four years course, afterward
entered the Japanese navy and is now an
admiral (ensineer) and is superintendent
OF the Engineer college at Japan. Kago
kazu Nire, class 1891, and Motohiko Ia
kasaki, class 1895, who were also with
drawn by the japanese government, have

The hopes with which he had risen at 4

1T would be a feat, of course, but his

The very earnestness of his purpose had
hampered him, however. AT Covent Gar
dent he had hesitated SO long over the
wisest means of expanding his capitai
that the best bargains had disappeared
before his eyes. The e%ightpence, almost
too valuable to be risked at all, had been
risked impulsively at last on violets, none
OF the freshest. And even then he had
been too grasping, and made his punches
with an eye to the three shillings rather
than his customers in Cheapside.
He learned wisdom and made his
punches fresh before the morning was

POISON.
Death Of a Cousin Made Life Unbear.
able for Her,

breckenridge, Mimi, Feb. 27.-Maude
Hussey, a 14-year-old girl of this place,
committed suicide here at the home OF
her brother, who is a fireman of the
Great Northern railway. She has been
attending school here, and living with her
brother. She received a letter from her
home in Illinois giving an account of the
death of a girl cousin Who was very
friendly to her.
She ATTENDED school in the morning as
usual. and on her way home from school
stopped at Pierce's drug store and ask ed
for prussic acid; the clerk asked her
What she wanted it for and she would not
tell him, SO he refused to sell her any.
She then went to Pasco's drug store, and
a clerk sold her two ounces; she went
home and drank most all of the two
ounces, causing instant death. Doctors
were called, but they could do nothing, as
death was instantaneous.
No cause is assigned for the rash deed
except the loss of her girl friend. She
Left some notes, written to different par
ties, showing that she had concluded she
could not live without this girl friend.
She has two brothers living here, and they
are both highly respected. She was a
very quiet, good natured girl, always
seemingly happy. It is a strange case,
and further investigation viii be mad
by the coroner.

miles in a straight line, is fifty feet wide,.
and is so level that 1t Is possible to see a
load of logs for q distance of eight miles.
It's construction involved the outlay of a
vast amount of money, but it has more
than paid for itself In added convenience.
On either vide Of the road it has been
staked, and millions of evergreens have
been set up and wedged together to keep
the snow out. 1t Is always in excellent
condition, and Is more like a boulevard
han a winter logging road. Over 200 men
are employed in the Irvine camp, nearly
all of them old timers from the Saltwater
country, who nave been in the employ of
the Irvine ompany for years. Seven loads
are hauled over the road to the landing
every day. Each load Is drawn by eight
horses, and two ~trailers are attached. The
first sleigh carries an average of IA, LOCO to
1900 feet, the sleigh following carries
about II coo, and the last one about 5000

ZIMMERMAN MISSING.
His Friends Fear Anton Zazaski Lost
His Life in the Moods.

10 Ill III NltS SoSAos
Two Harbors, Mich, Feb. 2~7.-lnquiries
have been sent out to the lumber camps
In Lake and Cook counties and every
effort to locate Anton ZaZaski, a timber
cruiser, is being made. About the middle
of December ZaZaski left his home at
West Duluth for the northern part Of
Cook county. He has not been heard
from and friends greatly fear that he has
lost his life either by starvation after
becoming lost in the woods or by being
killed by wolves or other wild animals.
When he left his home he expected to
be gone three weeks and at the longest
one month. He passed through here by
rail and left the train at the end of it's
line at Ely and then struck off overland
on now shoes across Lake county in
tending to so into the northern part Of
Cook county and come back by foot here
at Two Harbors. The trip he proposed
to take is a long and perilous one, passing
through an unknown wilderness Of
swamps and forests. Zazaski was
equipped with a good supply Of food and
intended to secure game to furnish hin
with the fresh meat he needed. When no
word had been heard from him after a
months absence his friends began to feel
anxious about him and more so now when
more than two months nave passed by
without knowing his whereabouts. Every
endeavor will be made to locate him, but
1t is feared he Is dead.
