SHOULD SHAKE HANDS

FRENCH MINISTER OF FOR.
EiGN AFFAIRS.

Paris, Nov. 1.-Uondon Times.)-
The prospect that the Russo.Japanese
war may last indefinitely is begin
ming to cause uneasiness. The coun-
try is awake to the fact that diplo.
macy had to strain every energy to
bring about a pacific issue of the re-
cent Anglo-Russian incident and It is
idle to deny that there is general ap-
prehension that other incidents of
equal gravity may arise and prove less
amenable to adjustment.
This apprehension Is probably
prompted by an important article by
M. Hanotaux, formerly minister of
foreign affairs, just published
The war, he says, may go on for
years without definite result. Only
one thing has SO far been accomplish
ed, namely the demonstration of the
bravery of the two armies. The most
simple course would be to shake
hands. It is high time to do so II the
greatest misfortunes are to be avoid
ed, as 1t Is now evident, to peaceful
powers, that they are at the mercy of

LITTLE GRAINS OF CORN
They Stole from Out the shock-Now
the Little Boys Are All of
Them in Hack

For stealing corn from the husks
on the Sprankle farm in the west end
of Canton, Roy McClintock, John Nc
Graw and Lionel Dunbar were charg-
ed by Thomas II. McClintock, the
owner Of the farm with petit larceny.
All of the boys are under the age
of II years. The affidavit was filed
in the mayors Office yesterday after
noon.
McClintock claims that he has been
pestered with a crowd of boys and
girls for some time past, the trOubls
occurring from depredations commit
ted in his cornfield. Many a dollar
of corn has been stolen from
him and after warning numerous
bands of boys of what they were do
ing and no effect being produced from
this he decided to take the course
which he started yesterday in the
mayors court. The boys, he said, go
right into his corn field and husk the
ears of corn and then carry them
away in sacks or their arms.

European powers to occupy Bulgaria
