"BoN VOYAGE, MyNHEER JOEL"

"BoN VOYAGE, MYNHEER JoEF
The baron finds his vehicle awaiting
him Just outside the hotel. His driver
Ia on hand, and with his usual form
shows the nobleman into the carriage.
Some 1ocular remark Is made by the
baron. who is In such decidedly 1ol'
ly humor that he can even notice a
menial.
Just as they are about to move or,
n man gives n signal, and the baron
stops the vehicle while he holds a low
consultation. The driver sits like n
statue. II he hears. he gives no ev.-
dence Of 1t; at any rate, tho talk must
be a sealed book to him, for the men
converse In Russian.
"Move on, Kito." comes the order
The stranger has not entered the We
hicle, ana yet. when the driver casts n
look behind, he fails to see him. Of
course, the shadows are dense along
under the trees near the hotel. and v
NAV be he has secreted himself among
these. Again it Is possible he hangs
on behind the vehicle.
Away they go. in cloud Of dust, 10
the direction of the city proper, where
lights still abound, and there Is Eo
sign of sleep, such as would be falling
upon an American city at this hour.
The baron leans back In his equip
age and gives himself up to delicious
reflection. He has won many diplo
matte victories in the past. but, real
ly, for the life of him. he cannot re-
member one that has given him half as
much genuine pleasure as this signal
conquest.
He declares he is beginning to grow
old; that this is the renl reason Myn
heer Joe got the better Of him in the
affair of honor. But If he is unable 10

terity as of yore. he has gained ia

he is apt to prove more foolish with
regard to love affairs. The baron
knows 1t, and does not deny the soft
impeachment with regard to himself.

Pugilisrn in Japan.

The extent to which the Japanese
are becoming EurOpeanlzed In the less
essential matters of life Is shown by
the manner in which our sports and
pastimes are taken up by the vernac-
ular press.
The recent fight between Fitzsim-
mons and Sharkey was reported at
length by more than one Toxic paper,

Facts like this aud also the no less re.
markable one that the last of the sho-
guns or mayors of the palace, who
treated the Mikauo as puppet and
reigned as absolute princes, Is now to
be seen riding a bicycle in Toxic, show
how thoroughly the Japanese have
turned their backs on their old ways

side from the battle of Chongju,

The largest losses resulted from the
battle Of kinchow, or Nanshan Hill, the

A Decisive Victory.

Tokyo, (By Cablc).-Only a few
additional "details of Admiral kaml-
muras defeat of the Russian Nladl-
vostok squadron reached here Mon
day. Enough has come, however, to
show that it was a clean cut and decl-
sive victory.
Kamimura met the Russians off the
Korean coast. about twenty miles dis
tant from UlSan, at ) O'Clock Sun
dav morning. The Japanese were
anxious for the fight and rushed into
the battle. The fighting was contlnu-
pus until 1910. when it was seen that
the Russian armorcd cruiser Rurik
was in trouble. The vessel settled
bv the stern and slowly disappeared
beneath the water, the Prov beng
the last portion of the vessel visible.
With the Rurk ont OF the battle,
the other Russian ships. the RosS,a
and the Gromoboi. took to flight and
escaped. Several times during the
action the Rossia and Gromoboi were
nn fire from the Japanese shell hre,
but the Russian sailors mastered the
flames. Both boats were heavily dam
aged
Small boats from the Japanese
squadron saved 600 Of the crew Of the
ill-fatcd Rurik. 1t is estimated that
the Rurik carried a complement ot
$50 officers and men and so it appears
'ha. 900 of her crew were either
killed or drowned.
The Japanese casualties were very
light. according to the preliminary re-
ports But two Japanese sailors were
killed and seven wounded. Only one
of the Japanese ships engaged was
hit
The result Of the battle indicates a
marked superiority Of the Japanese
over the Russians in workmanship.

ENTERPRISE of Interest.

IN an enterprising town in the Unit
ed States, a new movement has been
started with the object of solving the
servant girl problem. Thirteen fami-
lies comprising twenty-nine persons,
of the best social and business stand
ing. have formed cooperative board
ing association, all members to bear
an equal share Of the expenses. Grad
ually the various objections were
overcome, and the members are not
only well satisfied with the progress
made, but think that in a short time
noticeable decrease in their living
expenses will be evident Upon join
ing the association, members contrib
uted SIS to create fund with which
to equip the kitchen. With this money
two large ranges and dishes of every
description have been purchased; also
other articles necessary to the culin-
airy department. In the dining room
each family furnishes the table linen,
dishes and other articles for its own
use. In several cases where two fam
lilies are small both have occupied
the same table. All expenses for pro-
visions and the services of the cooks
and Mattresses are then borne pro
rata by the members. There will be
curiosity to know wheth-
or the experiment can be made a per
manent success.

op was not punctual to his time and
when he arrived the king, in a great
passion at having been kept waiting

bishop very coolly said he must be
permitted to withdraw, as he perceiv.

Traveller Saw Great Opportunity for

When | was coming up the Colum-

travels. III struck me that the men
who write melodramas are letting one
OF their grandest opportunities go to
waste, IL | were going TO write a
hair.raising play, I'd lay the scene OF
1t out In the lumber country along the
Columbia river. The hills rise almost
straight from the banks Of the stream.
and every now and then, way up a
couple OF thousand feet above the
water you see little tramway built
To carry logs to the mills. A crazy
little engine puts along till it reaches
a point where the logs can be shot
down the hill TO the water, and the
logs are unloaded. One by one they
shoot down the hill and into the river.
When log strikes the water a col
umn of spray rises fifty feet into the
air, and has time to die away in rip
pies before the log rises to the sur
face. It's the most magnificent thing
TO watch that you can imagine, and

villain get the papers-viIains in mel
odrama could give the ash man points
about collecting papers--and peg the
hero down on one OF those lumber
chutes. The heroine. who happens to
be taking a pleasure excursion on the
tTamway, sees the dastardly deed from
the top Of the chute She springs
upon log which is about to go down,
steers 1t carefully TO one side and
picks up the hero as she goes past.
I'll have to have tank and some
practicable logs, but az a thriller my
scene lays way over sawmills and
trains and burning buildings on the
stage. It's sure to be a winner, and IL
I find IL can't be dramatiZed | think

THE POSITION OF WOMEN.
Their Advancement Means Much for
PosteritY.

Their Advancement Means Much for
Posterity.
So long as women were absolutely
ignorant, men could pass as wise on
small capital but the growing mind
Of woman lifts the mind of man with
two great forces--heredity and sex
attraction. Large-brained mothers
make better men, and the sweetheart
who is wise as well as kind can do
wonders with her lover.
Lord Chesterfeld's advice to his
son is clear on this point He strong
ly urges him to marry a woman who
Is wise as well as rich, handsome,
and well born; FOR" says he. thou
wilt find there is nothing more full
some than a she-fool."
The Greeks would have educated
wives, owing to prejudice, tradition,
and general error; but, as they grow
capable OF more pleasure than the
primitive sex-relation allows, they
sought 1t outside OF marriage.
1t is wonderful how long 4 piece
Of idiocy will stick In the human
brain. Never was a more splendid
development Of some mental qualities
than in Athens, yet there this an
tique ignorance remained bedded in
the fertile intellectual soil like a
bowlder in a garden.
They would have slavery. and they
would have ignorant wives, and-they
fell.
To-day, with our knowledge OF the
laws of nature, with our great sd-
vance in freedom of thought and
action there is still, less excuse for
ua We know now that a nation is
best measured by the position OF its
women.-Su Success
