LITTLE TIME BETWEEN SPELLS.
Answer OF Valet Showed the Two
Sides to an Excuse.

Gen. Frederick d. Grant, who has
recently been assigned to the com
mand Of the Department of the East
Is noted for the equaDimity of his
temper.
Gen. Grant believes in self-com
mand. Concerning hasty tempers, he
said one day:
1.-THE plea of the quick tempered is
that If they are soon angered they
are soon pleased again. There is an
answer to this plea, though. The
former valet of friend of mine has
q good answer to it.
"This valet, an excellent servant
worked for my friend two months
Then he said that he was going to
leave.
"'Why are you going, James?' my
friend said kindly.
Well, sir, to be frank James
answered, you are too quick TEN
pered.'
Pooh, pooh, James, said my
friend. What if I am a bit quick tenn
pered? My anger is no sooner on
than it is Off
True, SIR said James respectfully
but it is no sooner off than it is on
again."

ONLY FOODSTUFFS EXEMPTED.
Russia Has Not Yielded Anything
Further In Contrahand Question.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 26.-Accord-
ing to the present status of the nego.
tiations of the United States and
Great Britain with Russia on the mat.
ter of contraband of war, foodstuffs
alone have been formally declared
conditional contraband. Russia has
notified Great Britain that she has
no intention to depart from the origi'
nal view that coal is absolute contra
band. At the same time, it is under
stood that Foreign Minister Lams-
dorff has given Sir Charles Hardinge,
the British ambassador, verbal as
surance of Russia's desire to apply
to the rule with the greatest lenien-
cy. The same assurance applies to
all articles of dual use enumerated in
article 6 of Russias declaration on
contraband.
The report that the commission ap-
pointed to consider the question of
contraband held an extraordinary
meeting and declared cotton, coal and
iron to be contraband, as announced
by news agency in London is in
correct.

Deputies Were Indignant and Defeated
His Graft.

Port Au Prince, Hayti, Sept. "a
The fact that deputy was interrupt
ed by an outsider while speaking in
the chamber of communes has caused
an international incident of mild
character The Haytain government
some time ago granted two American
citizens a concession for the construc-
tion and exploitation of railroad
from Gonaives to Hinche, an impor-
tant line passing through a rich part
of the country. The concession was
being discussed in the chamber yes
terday when one of the occupants of
the strangers gallery, foreigner, in
terrupted deputy who was speaking,
which caused so much Indignation
among the deputies that the motion
to approve the concession was re-
jected.
President Nord, however, has in
formed the American minister, Mr..
Powell, that reparation will be made
for the regrettable incident

RUSSIA is STILL SORE
CAR MUCH ANNOYED

st. Petersburg, Sept. 24The feeling
of irritation in Russia regarding Great
Britain's course in Thibet is display
ed in the Novoe Vreyma's remarks
regarding the statement made in the
house of commons by Mr.. Broderick,
secretary of state for India, that 'the
best way of preserving peace is to
be prepared for war, and England's
army on the Indian frontier is now
ready"
In the course of long editorial
article the Novoe Vreyma declares
that a majority of Great Britain's in
ternational successes we're won not
by fighting, but by bluff. This, the
paper declares, was especially the
case in 1870, when Great Britain sue
ceeded in closing the Dardanelles via
Berlin instead of via Constantinople.
The article concludes:
This sort of diplomatic intimida-
ton cannot continue indefinitely. In
Broderick's words we can quietly and
confidently say we are ready, too.

Hens Victims of Old Fosy Notions

"My son and myself" said DR.. E.
F. Hodges, took an automobile run to
Martinsville. He was the chauffeur;
we did not return by the same road. l
don't know how many hens we ran
over going and coming. We did not
stop to count.
1T is a dry time and the roads are
dusty. So much the worse for the
hens. I suppose it is different with
hens in the cities and towns, but
along the country roads they have not
yet learned to make proper calcula-
tons for escape from the automobile.
The hen is of a mathematical turn Of
mind. She rolls in the dust of the
highway and no horse-drawn vehicle
was ever known to run over one. She
