MYSTERIES OF

A professional hypnotist during
an entertainment in a small town
in northern Minnesota, had for a
subject a nine-year-old boy. I'm
der the hypnotic spell the boy
was impressed with the idea that
he was a rabbit, AT the latest
writing the boy is still a rabbit
squeaks. leaps about, and in habi,
il not in appearance. is naught bu,
a rabbit. The hypnotist, after
vain attempts to restore the youth
to his normal condition. has sought
a nerve specialist. The thought
has suggested to us that to square
accounts, the hypnotist ought to
secure a rabbit. and through his
magic influence convert il into a
boy. This at least would be a
compromise.

OPPORTUNITIES.

Buffalo Express: III the American
boy ever gets discouraged at what
some pessimists may tell him about
lack of opportunity, he should looA
around him q bit and take notice
OF things. Once In every four year.
some American boy becomes president
OF the United States. Every year a
number Of American citizens become
governors OF their respective states,
aud a lot OF them 60 10 congress, and
some OF them get into the United
States senate, and some OF them be.
come mayors OF cities, and some OF
them become aldermen. IL Is fair ~
say that not all these American citi-
zens should reach some Of the posi-
lions OF honor and responsibility, but
that is a little 20 one side OF the ques-
ton In point, which is that there arc
still chances-plenty OF them-for the
poor boy TO make his way In this
world-in the world OF politics as well
as In other directions.
The recent elections have shown
some instances VI this. While IL can
ut &c said exactly that T.aaG Wa
land Higgins, the goyernor-elect oi
New York state, was a poor boy, yet
he has made his way In the world
himself. Minnesota elected for gov
ernor n man who was the son OF q
Swedish immigrant and whose youth
was spent In abject poverty. HIS
father was a worthless creature, but
the boy was honest, industrious and
thoroughly s~elf.rcliant. New Jerseys
next governor is another boy who has
made his way against obstacles from
teacher TO governor. He almost sue
ceeded In being elected a United States
senator. Kansas chose for its COVER
nor a sclf-made AN country edi-
tor, who beat out the controlling ring
In his state. Folk will be governor Of
Missoufi-becanSe he IL honest, be-
cause he is persistent, because he Is
interchangeable.
Perhaps there T Others In the list
who deserve 10 be mentioned In this
connection. But enough have been
named 10 prove the contention that
the American boy still has a chance In
his country for high honors II he Is
made Of the kind Of right stun. He
need not be born rich, either. But he
must have ability and he should have
principles and honesty OF purpose.
Beyond question, opportunities
are plentiful, but we are either de-
generating or lacking in the essen
tial elements which induce one to
catch at these chimcras. There

THE DOOMED FORTRESS.

Port Arthur must fall. For
months its doom has been certain,
and il Is now assured that within a
few days the victorious Japs will
make the final charge. In this en-
lightened country it is hard to
find a Russian sympathizer, but in
the history of the terrible siege Of
Port Arthur, more bloody and
tragic in its awful detail than the
historians pen has ever written,
even those whose entire sympathy
is with Japan. can not fail to re-
cognize patriots in the defenders
OF the doomed fortress. Few of
such have ever lived. Not one but
