days"
Jennie what?" exclaimed John, look

an exchange.
"Genealogy." repeated Mrs. Atwood.
What's that?"
Il don't exactly know" replied Mrs.
Atwood, but I think it's a tree of
some kind. At least, 1 heard some
ladies refer to it as a family tree"
|. Well, what of it?' he asked.
Why, it seems to be a sort of fad,
you know, and everyone who is any
one has to have one, 1 suppose"
Buy one, them" he said, irritably.
Buy the best one in town and have
the bill sent to me, but don't bother
me with the details of the affair. Get
one, and stick it up in the conserva-
tory. if you want one, and if it isn't
too large"
But 1 don't know anything about
them"
Find out, and if it's too large for
the conservatory, stick it up on the
lawn, and if that amt big enough I'll
buy the next plot in order to make
room. Then can't any of them fly any
higher than we can. and. if it comes
to a question of trees I'll buy whole
orchard for you"
Still she hesitated.
THE fact is, John" she confessed at
last, L don't just know where to go
for anything in that line. Where do
they keep the family trees and all
such things?"
What do you suppose 1 know about
it?" he exclaimed. You're running

MRS. CHADwIcK's PROMISED REV.
Citations.

Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, although
in Jail with seven or more indictments
against her, is still hopeful, judging
from what she says, namely, that she
will come out all right" In a state
ment made to the reporters she said
that she didn't think she had done
any wrong. She must have rather
queer ideas of right and wrong. There
are reasons for thinking she has had
such ideas for a good many years.
She insists that she has a tale to
unfold that will change public senti-
ment in regard to her, but says she
will not tell it until she has paid all
Of her creditors. That means that she
will not tell it at all. 1t Is doubtful
If she has any story that will show
her in a light different from that which
the story of her financial transactions
places her. 1t is probable that she
would be put on trial at once if it
were not for the fact that Mr.. Car
negie, who is wanted as witness,
says he is unable, on account Of his
health, to go to Cleveland just now.
1t may be that it will be found possi-
BILE to get along without him as a wit
ness. Still the drama would not be COM
plete without him. He was dragged
into 1t without his knowledge, and no
doubt would like to avoid making
public appearance in 1t.
/ But what about Mrs. Chadwick's
husband, DR.. Leroy Chadwick? He is
in Paris with his daughter. In an in
terview he said he knew nothing about
Beckwith, the president of the wrecked
Oberlin bank, tells different story.
He says that Mr.. Chadwick knew
about the Carnegie notes and about
his wife's financial affairs. In part
payment of the money loaned upon the
notes the doctor. Mr.. Beckwith says,
gave him checks for a large sum of
money, and promised to give him more.
The checks were of no account. how
ever. This would seem to indicate that
he knew his wife was getting money
in large amounts on questionable Sc
curity. And it has been published that
he also gave the Massachusetts, bank
er, Newton, checks for part of the
amount due that financier. checks
which were returned because there was
no money with which to pay them.
If Mrs. Chadwick has any other story
than that which has been told it is
time for her to make it public. She
is in need of all the assistance and
sympathy now that she can get.

If it is true that the Russian war
ship sevastopol has been successfully
torpedoed by the Japanese at Port
Arthur, and there seems to be no good
reason for doubling the correctness OF
the report. then the Port Arthur feet
OF the Russians has been wiped out.
There may remain a few torpedo boats
and destroyers. but their number IL
so small and they are so impotent that
they need not be taken into consid-
Grafton as units OF offense or defense.
With the elimination of the Port Ar
thur feet, Admiral Togo Is at liberty
10 take such steps as he may deem ex-
pedient to deal with the oncoming Bal
tic feet. Meanwhile. there Is "A firm
conviction IN the minds OF many ex-
perts that the Baltic fleet will never
reach Far Eastern waters: that II
will be turned back before II has
reached the zone Of danger.

The heart-to-heart talks that some
of the high-fnanciers are having with
each other. through the medium of
the advertising columns of the news
papers, are highly amusing, to those
who are not interested in stocks.
Such choice epithets as liar" "fakir,"
''widow-wrecker," "robber.'' charla-
TAM" and the like have abounded in
the paid advertising space of the con-.
tending parties. There was even
suggestion of a personal encounter
between Col. Lawson and Col. Greene,
with possibly pistols and coffee on the
side. But 1t did not eventuate. Col.
Greene said to Col. Lawson that he
knew all about him, and that he was
thoroughly bad man. Col. Lawson
replied that Col. Greene was a man of
excellent judgment, since he had put
his properties into Col. Lawson's
hands for management, telling him he
was the only financier he knew who
could be trusted; nevertheless, that
Col. Greene had woefuTly and wilfully
prevaricated when he had asserted
that Col Lawson's recent raid on Wall
street was not unselhsh and wholly
for the good of the dear "peepul." And
thus it goes along. The high finan-
ciers have got their knives out for
each other; and in the meantime if
the lambs have the least bit of wit left
they will keep out of harms way.

The fire department of GAINESVILLE,
Wis, was recently in need of one
small rubber plug, which it ordered
from hardware store. The plugs are
worth 9. cents dozen. The hardware
firm sent in a bin for x cent. The
chief of the IRE department declined
to 20. k the bill, and the city treas
urer refused to pay it. The hardware
firm has now brought suit against the
city for the amount of the bill. The
firm declares that there is a ''princi-
pie" involved in the matter and that
it is willing to spend hundred of dol
lars to have that principle vindi-
Gated. There are many lawsuits that.

FRANCE BELIEVES
CHINA'S ATTITUDE
WILL BE CORRECT

PARIS, March 5.-The official view
here does not share that which is said
to prevail at Washington and in Berlin
that the threatening anti-Russian at
titude of the Chinese Generals Ma and
Yuan Shi Kai, the cOn1mander-in-chief
may lead to breach Of China's neu-
trality and compel France to take ac-
tion in behalf of Russia. Reports re-
ceived here confirm those which have
reached Washington and other capitals
that the Chinese troops are showing
much activity l. Northern China and
along the Manchurian border. They
also indicate that bands OF Chinese
brigands are taking advantage OF the
opportunity to resume their depreda-
tions and raids through Manchuria .
but the officials here say it is a mistake
to connect such action of irregular
Chinese forces with the actions Of the
Chinese Government.
The reports received here show that
irregular actions by various branches
of the Chinese army are likely to be
unfavorabIe to Russia and favorable
to Japan, but the French Government
will not consider such irregular mill

However distant the prospect of the
United States becoming embroiled in
the pending war between japan and
Russia may be regarded, it is certain
that if such a contingency does occur
the War Department will not be found
unprepared. The military forces at all
the posts on the Pacific are on what
practically amounts TO a war footing,
and though nothing beyond common is
noted by a superficial observer, disci-
pIine is maintained a a rigorous stand
ard and absence on leave, either for Of
ficers or men, is very hard TO obtain.
"One never knows what may happen
when a war imperiling the interests of
every first-class nation on the globe is

asked to explain matters relating 10
certain movements. 1t is known that
