Turning the Tables.

Many years ago, before tho produc-
lion of grain was equal to the demand,
wages of farm hands were high, but
as production increased, the prices low
cred faster than the rate of wages.
A farmer employed an industrious
Irshman for five years, at the rate of
fifty dollars a month "and found
board, lodging, washing and mending,
At the end of the term, he said to his
man:
Al can't afford to pay you the wages
I have been paying. You have saved
money and l have saved nothing. Al
this rate you will soon own my farm.
"Then I'll hire you TO work for me, y
said the other, "and you can get your
far1 back again!''-Success.

RACE DONE y
Not a Bit of 1t.

A man who thought his race was run

back to perfect health.
zone year ago l was unable to per
form any labor; in fact, was told by
my physicians that they could do moth
ing further for me. l was fast sinking
away, for an attack of grip had left
nv stomach so weak it could not digest
any food sufficient to keep me alive.
"rhere l was just wasting away,
growing thinner every day and weaker,
really being snuffed out simply because
could not get any nourishment from
food.
Then my sister got after me to try
Crane Nuts food which had done much
good for her and she finally persuaded
me. and although no other food had
done me the least bit of good my stom-
ach handled the Grape.Nuts from the
first and this food supplied the nourish:-
ment I had needed. In three months
was so strong | moved from Albany to
San Francisco and now on my three
meals OF Grape-Nuts and cream every
day | am strong and vigorous and do
fifteen hours work.
~ believe the sickest person In the
world could do as do, eat three meals
of nothing but Grape-Nuts and cream
and soon be on their feet again in the
flush of best health like me.
Not only am in perfect physical
health again, but my brain is stronger
and clearer than 1t ever was on the old
diet. hope you will write to the
names / send you about Grape-Nuts,
for want to see my friends well and
strong.

How to Dig Your Bait.

Choosing a piece Of chocolate col
ored, rich looking soil, the woodcock
dug some fifteen or twenty holes in
this soil, an inch Or two apart, with
his bill. Then he began kind Of cake
walk. He beat the earth with his
wings; he raped 1t with his bill sharp
ly; leaplng into the air, he alighted,
Istiff and heavy, on his feet.
Was the woodcock insane? Evident
ly not. For now the noses Of many In
quisitive earthworms began to pro
trude from the holes the bird had
drilled. The earthworms had heard
the noise and they wished to know
what the trouble was. They turned
their heads slowly from side to side.
The woodcock devoured them, one by
one
That Is the way woodcocks get
earthworms to eat, and fishermen may
learn lesson from the birds. If q
fisherman will make a number Of holes
In the soil and then beat upon the
earth with his knuckles the worms I'M
derneath will come up through the
holes to find out what Is going on, and
their capture will be easy.

tons in the opposing armies, caused
by the northward movement of the
Japanese toward Mukden. Langtse
Pass, where General Count Keller is
in strong position Is pointed out. as
Is Kaitou, where severe fighting took
place. Along q line extending pracH-
cally from Liao-Yang to ia Pass is lo-
Gated at present the Russian left
flank, which the Japanese are reported
to have broken. No news comes, how
ever, that they have yet crossed the
Taitse River, and until the feat IS ac-
complished it can hardly be said that
ment, with the object Of striking Lao
Yang from the north, is probably what
the Mikado's commanders intend.
Si-Chiao Pass, which has been occu-
pied by Japanese force of 5000 men,
with artillery, is indicated in the map.
Kiaotung, whence tue Russians were
driven, also Is shown. With the excep-
ton of this advance OF KurokPs right

the positions of the opposing armies
remain relatively unchanged. Heavy

The Fable OF Eonr Men.

II got off street car this morning"
said doctor to me, land, being in no
hurry began moralizlng on the ac-
lions and probable character of three
men who had alighted just ahead Of
me- The first one was even then half
way down the block and was going on
with such rapid strides that he had
already put couple of hundred yards
between himself and the next man.
There thought /, goes a hustler-a
man who's bound to succeed in life.'
The second man was walking rather
slower, and impressed me as one who
would do fairly well, perhaps, in this
world. But the last fellow was just
dawdling along In the most shiftless
sort Of way. | very quickly set him
down for a loafer.
Just then another idea came home
to me. All three were ahead of mew

pRQ0DGGRESS OF THE MAR MAR

SO far as Is known General Kouro-
patkin has been on the defensive since
the 10th and 18th OF July, when he
sent about 10000 men under General
Keller to Molten pass to develop the
Japanese strength at that point. 1t
was found to be greater than had been
looked for. Although the Russians
surprised the Jap outposts and fought
CALAMITY for day they were COM
PEELED to fall back with an admitted
loss Of over 1000. 1t was learned that
a powerful Japanese army Was mass
ed near Molten pass, threa tening Lao
yang, but high price was paid for
the information.
Little was heard from General Oku's
army during the week. The Russians
report that their outposts south of
Tatchekiao and those of lne Japanese
are less than four miles apart and
that constant slkirmishing Is kept up
On the 10Th achievements which
General Oku Is said to have been wait

under the protection of Japanese cruis-

day after General Keller fell back
from Molten pass, General Kurold took
the offensive and set out to capture
Kiatoung on the Chi River northwest
Of the pass and east of Anping. After
two days fighting the Russian were

MELON GROWING IN OKLAHOMA.
Better Ones and More of Them Can BE
Raised There Than at Rocky Ford.

Raised There Than at Rocky Ford.
J. B. Thoburn, secretary Of Okla
homa's State Board of Agriculture,
says that within the next two years
Oklahoma will outrank Rocky Ford as
producer Of fine melons. The rich
sandy loan lands Of the territory pro-
duce watermelons and cantaloupes in
perfection
Il. J. Weymouth Of Lincoln County,
one Of the most extensive growers Of
melons in the territory, says that the
conditions in his county are as favora-
BILE to the successful growing Of canta-
loupes as in any part of the United
States. Evon in 1901, when the sea-
son was unusually dry, it was proven
that this is one Of the most profitable
crops that can be grown there. In that
year the crop paid net profit Of from
$40 to $45 per acre. An acre of canta-
loupes should produce from 5000 to
1000 melons. The past year the farm
ers received from / to 3 cents each net
for the melons. Only the best and
earliest melons are profitable for ship
ping. The Oklahoma crop, if on the
market by the last of June or the LIST of
July will be considerably ahead of
the Arkansas and Missouri CROP Mr..
Weymouth has found in shipping that
Oklahoma melons bring from so cents
to ST crate more than the market
price in st. Louis.

figure No detailed Russian reports of
the fighting have been received.
There are rumors at st. Petersburg
that General Kuroki has turned the
Russian left flank and captured Lao
yang. The rumors are hardly credi-
BILE. Another story is that General
Kuroli has reached point only few
miles east Of station on the railroad
between Liaoyang and Mukden. That
Is doubtful. But it is certain that he
has secured much better strategic lines
for his advance in the direction or the
railroad. General Rennenkampff's
Cossacz army lies to his north and
east, but he probably has men enough
to take care Of 1t.
The Rurik, Rossia, and Gromoboi of
the Vladivostok squadron-the Boga-
tyr apparently has been too badly in
tured TO make 1t safe to take it along
left port last week and resumed the
task of worrying their adversaries.
With great contempt for Admiral ka-
mimura, who seems to be fated not to
meet them, they dashed boldly
through the Tsugaru strait. which di-
vides the islands Of Yezo and Nippon,
and went out on the open Pacific.
Then they turned to the south and
have been sighted at different points
off the east coast of Japan. They
were last seen from point west Of
Yokohama and were then heading
south.
There are many surmlses as to the
Intentions Of the squadron. 1t may be
on its way to Formosa to destroy what
shipping is in Its ports. 1t may be
heading for the neutral port of Saigon
in French China, or be on the road to
the Red Sea to take the place Of the
volunteer fleet. Another conjecture is
that 1t is looking out for American
vessels bound for Yokohama with sup
plies for the Japanese army.
No trustworthy news has come from
Port Arthur for over a week. The
Japanese are silent, and 1t Is becoming
difficult for the besieged Russians to
let the outer world know how they
fare.

man liner Scandal has been released at
Port Said under orders from st. Peters
burg.
A Chinese merchant, who was among
the last of the foreigners to make his
way from Port Arthur, arrived in Vic
toria B. c., and describes the plight of
the inhabitants of the besieged city. The
troops levy on all stores, he says, and
only FIVE of the warships are seaworthy.
Great Britain's bill for damages
against Russia for demurrage and other
indemnities connected with the arrest,
detention and Smelling of British ships
in the Red sea will probably be very
heavy. Already it is roughly estimated
at 100000.
A Toxic correspondent says he be-
lieves the object of the Vladivostok
squadron is to interrupt trade between
the United States and Japan and that
steamers on the way from Canada and
San Francisco are in serious danger. He
says another aim of the squadron is APP
parently to Seal Toxic bay.
Russia's Vladivostok squadron sunk
the American steamer knight Command
er, from New York, off the province Of
leu, after transferring the crew Of the
knight Commander to the steamer Tsi-
nan. The Vladvostok squadron also cap
tured German vessel, believed to be the
Arabia, with a cargo Of flour and an un-
known British steamer. The two vessels
were sent to Vladivostok in charge of
prize crews.
According to Washington authorities
any action which may be taken regarding
the seizure OF the British ship Ardova,
carrying stores destined for Manila, by
the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smo-
lersk is a matter for the British govern
ment. 1t does not in the least concern
the United States No shipments OF
Philippine stores or ,other supplies are
made by the army or the navy in other
than American bottoms. Congress by
special enactment at its last session ex-
pressly prohibited such shipments in for
eign vessels.
John Bassett Moore, authority on in
ternational law in discussing the seizure
OF merchant ships by Russian war yes
sells, holds that food and cotton cannot
be considered contraband, and defines
the position OF the United States, as indi-
Gated during the Spanish war.
The presence OF a large number of
japanese transports at the head OF the
Gulf OF Liaotung and nine gunboats In
nearby port is held to indicate that
