ing that his end was near, he sent
for Mile. Wanda Blanstein. popular

after first drawing up will leaving
her all his fortune. He was too near
death to sign either the marriage rec
ord or the will, but the officiating

to the mark he was able to make
while his hand was guided. The count
died a few hours afterward. He had
an income of 100000 year. His wild

HARMONY A MATTER OF TIME
Some Facts That PIighted Lovers
Should Remember.

0TOulu
The harmonizing of the PERSONAL.
ties of even the best mated couples Is
usually work of time. Before they
can learn readily to make those little
concessions which keep two natures
in harmony there is generally more
or less twanging of false chords, and
il these false notes can be eliminated
before marriage so much the better.
Besides it is more difficult to sink
ones pride before marriage than
after, and the object lesson is, accord
ingly, the more valuable, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
Quarrels, it should be remembered,
are ills which fall to the lot of most
of us. They should be treated care
fully and quickly, as one treats cut
finger. Neglected, cut finger may
lead to serious complications, endan-
gering ones life. In the same way
little quarrels may endanger ones
life happiness.
All lovers quarrel, but some make
the foolish mistake of parting at once
without allowing time for reflection.
If two people become separated and
can still think with affection of each
other after two or three years alb
sence they are fitted to marry. 1t is
foolish and absurd to allow pride to
stand in the way.
Love renewed is better than first
love, more sincere. 1t is love that is
refined by years of reflection and is
the golden output of pure affection

BECAUSE FRIGHTENED
She Is Nervous Over Possible Move

PARIS, Feb. 2O.-French officers
profess not to know the cause Of
SPANS hurried mobilization of troops,
but unofficial information shows the
mobilization going on with the utmost
energy, with a special view of pro-
tecting the Canary and the Balearic
Islands. Large forces Of infantry, cav
airy and engineers have already been
assigned to cooperate with the navy
In the defense of the islands. and of
the coast of Spain. A prominent off,
Ger said:
THE mobilization is probably
scare similar to that which Spain ex-
perienced when she expected Rear Adj
miral Watsofl's fleet to attack her
coast"
However, the authorities are aware
that Spain is suspicious that the pres
ent war may lead some power to at
tempt to secure strategic positions
near Gibraltar. = British and French
negotiations concerning Northern
Morocco, opposite Gibraltar, have been
going on for the last year and For
eign Minister Delcasse recently told
one Of the ambassadors that a settle
ment seemed as far off as ever. He
also said he believed Spain foresaw

mobilization were shown today in the

TURKEYS CHANCE
SEEMS TO BE RIGHT NOW
Diplomats Say She Can End the Mace
DOMAIN Trouble for All Time.

PARIS, Feb. 20.-Almost with as
close attention as they are giving the
Russian Japanese war, the French au-
thorities are watching events in the
Balkans. From Bulgaria assurances
have been received that she does not
propose to take any measures to pre-
cipitate war, and most of the leaders
of the recent instruction have indi-
Gated their purpose to see what the re-
forms will accomplish before renewing
the rebellion In Macedonia. Moreover,
it is not believed here that the @dace-
DOMAIN committee has as much money
as heretofore with which to carry on a
conflict.
Nevertheless. 1t is well understood
that Russia's preoccupation in the far
East greatly increase the chances Of
war in the Balkans. Turkey declares
she proposes to scrupulously carry out
the reforms imposed by the powers,
but high Turkish official here today
said the attitude of his government
must necessarily depend on the atti-
tude of the Macedonians and Bulga-
rians.
1--WE know" he said, that the Mace
donian committee has been purchasing
large quantities of arms, and we know
1T has been buying fezs like those worn
by the Ottoman troops, which will be
worn when the revolutioniSts are en-
gagged in some particularly odious
crime and which they will seek to
throw on the shoulders Of the Turks.
But Turkey. while Loyalty endeavoring
to carry out the wishes of the powers,
will be prepared for any eventuanties. -
Asked if there would be war, the
official answered that he could not tell.
That would depend on developments.
He admitted that Turkey was mobil-
izing a formidable body of troops in
Macedonia, but, he added, this was
due to the Albanian revolt. The pres
ence of the Turkish troops is embar-
RAISING to the powers, because they
prevent the operation of the interna-
tional gendarmerie.
Diplomats here say that II ever an
opportunity existed for the Porte once
and for all to end the Macedonian
trouble by striking Bulgaria, which en-
courages it, it is now.

CIVILIZATION AND
PROGRESS ARE COSTLY
Russian Paper Employs Arguments
Against Japan.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 20. - The
Vtedomosti publishes an editorial on
the pride shown in Great Britain and
the United States in their Japanese
sympathies. and asks what these will
ultimately cost the cultured West. An
sWering this question, the paper says:
Aside from the question Of the yell
low peril 1t is hopeless blindness not
to see that Russia stands as a barrier
between the approaching rising of Asia
and old degenerate Europe, and to de-
sire that this barrier be swept away Is
absolute imbecility. 1t is said that
Japan represents progress and civiliza-
ton. The same thing was said in 1865
about Prussia, and 1t was not sus-
pected that the success of Prussian
arms would be a continual source of
alarm and only ended when the Franco
Russian alliance re-established the po-
litical balance of Europe.
"One may bow down to the cultured
advance of Japan, but 1t brings to
Western nations the idea Of endless
wars. The far East is now an area Of
do in week or in months, when her
war position Is more clearly defined
and her neutrality guaranteed by the
powers on the American receipt, is one
of those fictions which Europe is so
used to paying for with most ex-
pensive armed peace. Russian VIC
tories will protect the West from the
horrors America is trying to keep off
by diplomacy. For Russia this heavy
cross is its glory"

COSSACKS WILL WEAR
TERRIFYING HEADGEAR
Denial That Russian Soldiers Suffer on
Railway Trains.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 20-Mili-
tary activity is proceeding on an ever
increasing scale and all is in readiness
for the mobilization Of the entire Rus
sian army should that become neces-
sary. In fortnight 100000 additional
troops will be in Manchuria. Three
army corps of Siberian rifles have al
ready been organized and a fourth soon
will be completed. There Is also a
brigade of Cossack artillery, armed
with excellent mountain guns.
Although the Japanese seem to be
making Port Arthur one of their main
detectives, military men here do not
believe that they will be able to effect
and hold landing there. The entire
country is strongly held by division
of Cossacks, which was moved out to
the far East from the Caucasus some
time ago. Other Cossack regiments
are under orders to join their COM
rades. The Russian army will have a
distinctly Cossack appearance. Enor
nous shakos of black, long haired
Sheepskin will be worn by the officers
and men of the fighting regiments
This headgear is known as "papaha,"
and is practical in keeping the head and
neck warm and the bleak Manchurian
winds from the eyes and ears.
Stories of privation suffered by the
soldiers on the military trains going to
the East are grossly exaggerated. Gov
cred freight trucks have been convert
ed into comfortable cars for the men.
The sides are lined with felt, windows
have been cut, stoves set up and the
movable shelves used for sleeping are
removed in the daytime. Each man is
allowed three-quarters of a pound of
hot beef daily, besides the regular ra-
tions supplied from the special kitchen
cars,
