WITHIN THE CIRCLE.

Within the circle of a deathless love
Lives pure and sacred, everlasting
faith,
That like a heaven-kissed BLESSING
from above,
Bids us hope patiently and wait.
For things that mar our present peace
with pain
Often tomorrow prove the better way,
And like a CLEAN of sunshine through
the rain
Breathe a benediction at the shrine or
yesterday.

her brother George has been hit pretty
hard by the Utah crowd because of his

Mrs. Andrew Carnegie cares little
or nothing for jewels. When she goes
cut TO a function or 10 the opera she
sometimes wears pearls. but these are
not OF fabulous size or price. They
are extremely modest and afford quite
"a contrast TO the Jewels which some
women wear. At best Mrs. Carnegie
does not care for functions or society
in general. She makes a delightful
hostess at Skibo castle, where she has
received royalty, and these are
qualities which always win with the
higher classes abroad.

RUSSIA SHOULD LOSE

Ii ever a country engaseo ID e'Ne~ sonalct deserved defeat, Russia should be whipped out Of Manehuria and from a position that would lead to possible domination iu the affairs Of Che Orient The Japanese are fighting the battles Of civilization. They are making way for the introduction of western ways and western products.
 Russia, though a Christian nation, is stin neeped in che barbarism and des- potism of Che middle ages Us people carry that barbarism and desp0,ism Co other countries as they extend i,s boundaries. Itis true. iu many places the Russians have s1pp.an,ed a social and political condition more dense jn its ignorance and more abhoreut iu it's barbarity than chat which they im- planted, but that is not the situation in the Orient It will be conceded that tbs slav has done much for humanity in checking che growth of Turkey in Europe. but there is DO sultan threat- ening the far eastern countries. The people of che west are advancing on Asia. using ,be broad Pacific as their highway. Their civilization has al- ready permeated Jsoan. and che little brown men Of Che Sunrise Empire are ready Co carry it Co the continent There can be no question that they are tho-best prepared of au the peoples of the earth Go do cha, work. They uu- ders.and the Chiuaman and che Nou- golisn better than others That is shown from the fact that those portions oi the Chinese empire where Japan. SC influence has been greates, there has been the greatest advance. The pres encs Of Russia in Nanchs-ia and the Russian influence in Korea is the only menace threatening a continuation Of the civilizing influence io China
 But in addition Co all this. Russia de- serves to be forced ou, Q, Nauchuria because i,s position there was secured through false pretenses Through one presext after another it has strength ened itself between the Amur and the Yellow sea. while making repeated promises of an early evacuation of that province. The government of the czar has frequently agreed that the ports ot Manchuria be opened to the products of the world, bu, it has forced a pyz,- ponement Of @ compliance. wi,h it, Agreements In short, in all che ueeo- tisHons referring Go Che Orient Russia has shown a lack of good faith. A treEy was agreed toamong the nations the terms of which provided tha, Rus sis should evacuate Manchurla October l5, 1908. but not a move has been made in tha, direction. It is to enforce the provisions Of tba, treaty that Japan is lighting
 Il is too bad, indeed, tha, the Orien- tal difficulties could not be settled with out war, but nov that fighting has begun, Iet uy pray that Japan will make it SO warm for Che Russians that the var win be ol short duration

THE SUPREME COURT.
Probable Charges in Its Membership IN
der the Next Administration.

Tho presidential election this year will
have an important bearing on the supreme
court Democratic President would in
all probability mean that for the first
time since the Civil war period Il ma iority
of the justices would be Democrats. In
that high tribunal politics are not sup
posed to cut much of a figure. None the
less, political parties have considerable
pride in seeing men of their own faith
wearing the erInine.
Three of the nine justices are now
Democrats Chief Justice Fuller, appoint
ed during Mr.. Cleyeland's first term: JUS
ticc White and Justice Peckham, both ap-
pointed during his second term. -Four of
the justices will be eligible for retirement
before March 5, 1868. when the next pres
idential administration will have come to
an end. OF these, all except Chief Jus
tee Fuller were appointed as Republic
ans. The chief justice is eligible for re-
tlrement now, but being in excellent
health and fond of the duties of his high
office, he is not expected to relinquish his
place for some time yet. Justice Harlan
is also eligible. If he does not retire be-
fore next March, he probably will do so
IN the course of two or three years. 1t is
certain that Justice Brown will retire as
soon as he becomes 40 years old. which
Will be March 2, 1906. and Justice Brew
er will also become eligible for retirement
q little more than a year thereafter.
President Roosevelt has already had
the appointment of two members of the
court He. as his own successor. or his
Democratic rival for the executive Office
viii almost to a certainty have two or
three more appointments Especially in
view of the several close decisions in great
legal questions, like the insular cases and
the merger suits, the personnel Of the

pened.
There seemed to bo absolutely no rea-
son why it should have fallen, hut an
hour later, when the builder came home
to his midday meal, he remarked that mt
Il quarter past II he fell from tho top of
a building, but happily without sustain
ing any injury. His Wife then described
how the clock had fallen at the same
time, and the couple pondered in vain
over the curious and utterly inexplcabl"
coincidence. Liverpool Post
