Don't BE Envious.

The men or women who envy those
who happen to be able to dress well
and to enjoy the pleasures Of life a
little more than those who are compel
led to work continually will be misera-
BILE all their days, for, no matter how
high they may get. they will find 9TH
ers still higher. The envious person
is never satisfied and never can be.
Take the successful men Of the city.
and you will find that the majority Of
them began just where you did. Then
why are you not In equally good cir
cumstances? If you ran race with
a man and lost it, you would hardly
blame your failure on the race course.
You started even and ran together. and
you lost because you couldn't run as
fast as he or lacked the power of en-
durance. So your failure in the race
of life is not due to the track. but to
your lack of ability as runner.

How He Protected the seals.

Some years ago Russian warship
was on special duty in Boring sea
guarding the seal fisheries, preventing
the slaughter Of the seals during the
closed season. The admiral of the sta
ton in the course Of an inspection Of
the vessel invited any of the sailors
who had any complaint to make to
step forward. One of the men, as
spokesman for the whole crew, COM
planned that the seal money" prom
Used them had not been paid. On the
astonished admiral inquiring what he
meant it came out that the ships COM
mander had been doing a lucrative
trade by killing the seals placed under
his protection and sending the skins to
London and had taken the crew into
partnership. He was duly transferred
to Siberia.

coURTsHIP IN FRANCE.


Lovemaking Begins After the We'd
ding Bells Have Rung.
The word "courtship" has no equiva-
lent In the French tongue, because the
thing itself does not exist. Stolen
tete-a-tetes, even furtive kisses, may,
of course, be INDUCED in, but only un-
der modified chaperonage, the half
shut eye of parents or guardians. No
young French lady would be permitted,
for instance, to undertake cycling ex-
petition with her future husband. Still
less could she take train with him for
the purpose Of visiting relations in the
country were the journey of half an
hours duration only. Lovemaking be-
gins with the honeymoon.
For centuries, alike in the humblest
as well as the highest ranks, matrimo-
NAL settlements have kept family pos
sessions together In France-and en-
riched village notaries!
No sooner was serfdom abolished
than the peasants followed bourgeois
example, lowering their daughters and
securing the interest of their sons by
law. In provincial archives exist many
Of these documents, the rustic brides

money and sometimes cattle or a bit
of land. The archives of the Aube
contain the marriage contract Of q
skilled day laborer (manouvrier) and a
widow whose property was double that

joint enjoyment and ownership. 1 can

tricacies Of the French marriage laws.
There is the regime dotal, which safe.
guards the dowry of the wife. There is
the regime de la communicate, which

as far as income and earnings are con-
cerned. And there are minute regula-
lions as to the provision for children
and widows. The latter are always
sacrificed to the former.-Cornhill.

FATE or A BIG OHIO TREE.
Size of This Great Sycamore Was the
Cause of It's Destruction.

Size of This Great Sycamore Was the
Cause of Its Destruction.
The greatest tree ever seen by white
men in Ohio is believed to have been
The enormous sycamore, or, more prop
erly, buttonwood, which stood in what
is now Valley township, Scioto county,
in the rich bottom lands Of the Scioto
river.
1t was SO prodigious in bulk that as
early as 1910 1t was described In the
Cincinnati Almanac as one Of the natu-
raj wonders Of Ohio. In June, 1908, &C.
cording to what seems reliable testi-
mony, a party Of thirteen persons, all
on horseback, rode into the hollow
trunk Of this sycamore and found that
room enough remained for two more
horses and their riders. The tree
forked about eight feet from the
ground, and it was hollow when first
seen by the white settlers. The circum-
ference of the trunk was about sixty
three feet at the base, and five feet
from the earth it was forty-two feet in
girth. These figures remind the reader
Of the famous big trees Of California.
The opening into the cavity within the
trunk was ten feet wide at the bottom,
nine and half feet high, and the hol-
low was about fourteen feet in dame
ter.
The account which has been pre-
served of the fate of this enormous tree
is very odd. 1t is claimed that the 81
ant buttonwood was kept uninjured as
great curiosity until the farm on
which it stood was used as stock
farm by one Thomas Dugan. This
stock breeder turned several valuable
bulls into the fields where the huge
tree stood, and two Of them fought in
side its trunk. In that small space for
bull ring the victor was able to pre-
vent the escape of his rival, and the
weaker was killed. This affair con-
WINGED Dugan that the largest tree In
Ohio was menace to his stock, and
he cut 1t down. Later hogs kept In the
same field were attacked by cholera,
and the owner reasoned that their hab-
1t of lying inside the hollow stump was
bad for their health, and so he had the
stump removed. 1t may well be doubt
ed whether any other immense tree
was ever destroyed because Of fight
between two bulls.-Cleveland Leader.

Japanese dlsptched column to the

During the night it became apparent
that the Russians were being rein
forced, and it was decided to make
general attack in the morning and
force the Russians into defile back

When morning came II was discov.
cred that the Russians held line ex.

main japanese force was moving to
the north along the railroad, columns
were swung to the right and finally
converged at noon on the main Rus

position were at disadvantage, but
they held 1t with determination until
