An Example of True Laziness.

President Clowry of the Western
Union Telegraph Company holds that
laziness, more than alcohol or anything
else, is responsible for the failures that
men and women make Of their lives.
Take the tramp" said President
Clowry one day. What is the tramp's
dominant trait? Is it not laziness? You
may say the tramp is fond Of liquor.
Well, 1 answer that he is fonder of idle
ness. He could swim in liquor II he
would work for it. But he will not
work.
Cali failures are lazy. But the laz-
lest failure is the tramp. A tramp
knocked at the back door of my cous-
in's farm in Vermont one hot after
noon.

SCARE a poor feller drink Of water p
"'Certainly,' she answered. Here's
a tumbler, and there's the pump
"'Thank you, kindly said the
tramp. And now, If you'll just work

Russian Soldiers Marvel at the Custom

Mukden, Dec. 22.-One Of the most
inexplicable things to the Russian SOL
dier is the habit of the Japanese to
commit suicide when confronted with
defeat. There are so many eye wit
nesses reports of this nature that it is
Impossible to discredit them. Japan
ese officers especially seem to make q
practice Of saving their last cartridge
for themselves. A Russian under the
circumstances would rather go down
fighting, leaving his enemies to do the
killing, or else surrender, if he thought
there was nothing to be gained by hold

number of such cases. When the
Japanese batteries were captured one
officer shot himself with his gun. An
other drew his sword and fenced at the
empty air until he was shot. During
the same fight two villages occupied
by the Japanese We're surrounded and
burned. Numbers of Japanese re-
mained quietly in their huts and were
burned to death. A Russian officer
hauled two japanese prisoners out OF a
blazing hut, but one slipped back and

Russians ana JapS NnaSe FRESH WSds
That Keeps on Neutral Ground.
Correspondence of Associated Pressl
On the Front Line of Russian De-
fense. Below Mookden. Dec. 22.-The
thermometer is 5 below zero. We nave
lust come in from ride around the
front. 1t was a desolate ride. we
caught up with the officer of the day
visiting his outposts, and accompanied
him along miles of trenches, where
thousands of soldiers are burrowlng
into the ground for bomb proofs and
habitable dugouts before the ground
freezes seven feet down. The men have
plenty of tea and are fairly fed, but
fresh meat is luxury that is not to be
neglected.
While we were talking by the fire at
one place some fresh meat appeared.
There was a row toward the front line
of trenches that might have presaged
Japanese attack and we rushed to a
knoll that commanded view. There,
from seemingly deserted Chinese hut,
rushed half-grown pig OF the Man
churian razorback variety. After 1t
went a Cossack in hot pursuit. Other
Cossacks joined in the chase, but the
pig, threading the trenches, gained the
open ground and headed for the Japan
ese lines. less than 400 yards away.
Reckless of death or anything else,
six Cossacks dashed in pursuit, with
their long brown coats, tucked about
their waists, but the pig headed
across the imaginary dividing line and
charged the Japanese position. The
opposite hill slope had been to all ap-
pearances vacant and silent as the
grave, but hidden trench suddenly
gave up a party of Japanese and away
they went after the pig. The Cossacks
stopped and the Japanese headed the
pig diagonally back toward the Rus
sian lines. They did not catch 1t, but a,
fresh relay of Russians took up the
chase and the pig veered over again
to the japanese.
Not shot was fired all this time
and the Japanese and Cossacks stood
within 100 PAGES of each other in the
open, laughing at each others nom
success and hurting mutual maledic-
tions after the pig.
The last we saw of it, the pig was
keeping strictly to the neutral strip be-
tween the forces and heading west
ward in the direction Of the Liao river.

MESSAGES BY TYPEWRITER.
j.. c. Barclay, Former Chicago Mar
Perfects system.

Js " Barclay, FORMER Chicago MaHy
Perfects System.
New York, Dec. 22-J. c. Barclay,
of the Western Union Telegraph, Com
pany, and formerly of Chicago, has
perfected mechanism to send tele-
grams by typewriter. It needs no
knowledge of the Morse code and no
receiver at the other end, another type
writer putting it down as sent. The
system has been in operation between
New York and Buffalo since Mon
day.
Briefly, the invention consists Of an
appliance to an ordinary typewriter, by
which a person sending from one city
has his message printed by. "a similar
typewriter in another city.
Unlike any other telegraph printing
Inventions the typewriter does not
click off the Morse alphabet, but the
sender writes his message before him,
just as an operator on a typewriter
would do, and the printed message ap-
pears in duplicate on the typewrltlns
machines miles distant.
All that 1t is necessary to do at the
receiving end, it is said is to feed pa
per into the typewriting machine, or
roll of paper can be so arranged that IL
will unwind as the messages are re-
ceived.
According to Mr. Barclay, the send
er need be only a typewriter operator
to use the machine.
