officers of Rathbone Lodge. The
work in the Knight rank, which was
exemplifed in the long form, was
made more impressive by the use of
stereoptican views.
After the work, refreshments were
served in the banquet hall, after which
a social hour was held. The we'll
known "Imperial Male Quartet" of
St. Johnsbury was present and rem
dered several selections, which added
much to the enjoyment of all present.

which number doubles the charter
list. Their hall in the H. A. Slayton
& Co. block, is finished with all mod
ern conveniences and nicely furnished,
making an ideal lodge home, one OF
which the members are justly proud,

Couldn't Sell Her Doll

"This looks hard, boys. but | have

One of the constables bid them In.
and the crier proceeded with the sale.
The next article sold was pair OF
shoes that the little girl had worn.
and the officer obdurately sold the
goods without remark.
The next sale was one that staggeF-
ed him. He found large and beautf-
full bisque doll, carefully wrapped In
a silk cloth. He hesitated a moment.
and said:
This must be sold, too, SO how
much am l bid?"
He held the doll over his head, and
repeated:
How much am bid, boys?"
That the officer was affected was
visible. Ike De Marcus was on the
point of making a bid but the officer
Erecluded him with:
Boys, can't do it-I have little
girl at home, and l know how she
loves her dol! will send this doll to
that little Smiddey girl in Augusta II
it is the last act of my life."
The officer wiped the tears from his
eyes, laid the doll aside and proceeded
with the sale.

Mo Connection With Loan.

London.-Lord Rothschild has In
formed the Associated Press that he
had reason to believe that Russia was
endeavoring to float another foreign
loan.
Russian official circles in London
however, say that they have no knowl
edge of any effort on the part of their
government to float loan.
With reference to the report that the
Jewish bankers decline to grant a
loan to Russia unless the Russian Jews
are given the same rights and privi-
leges as other Russian subjects, the Of
ficials said Interior Minister Won
Piehve was considering measures for
the relief of the Jews.
This, however, had no connection
with the question of loan, but was
solely in execution of the emperors
.kase of January, 1903, contemplating
,ranting further liberties to the pee
ole of the empire.

The Cinnamon took similar precau.
tions.
This>was the situation for months.
until at last the news came Of seri-
GUS Chinese defeat.
The Cinnamon were deeply stirred.
and one morning they lined up along
the fence, seventy strong, and told the
Japanese, in mixture Of Cantonese
and English profanity, just how infin-
itesimal they considered them.
The Japs sounded a call to arms and
told the Cinnamon that they were
unclean monkeys. and that If they
didn't keep to leeward of them, they
would give them an illustration Of
how Wei-hai-wei had ben captured.
A Chnaman picked up turnip.
which presently landed on Jap's
head.
Two hours later the sheriff Of Ala.
media county was called out to restore
peace Both the Japanese and Chi.
nese settlements had been demolish-
| ed, the gardens torn up, and every
Jap and Chinaman bore physical evi.
dence of the fierceness of the fight.
Next day the head man Of each
colony paid fine, the colonists re-
turned to their ranches, rebuilt their
huts. and ever after lived on the best
of terms with each other. They had

this morning this was plainly demon

unpaid bills, and an attachment proc

tiOusly Gen. Oku's army from the

east are closing in upon TatchekiaJ,
where Gen. Kuropatkin is reported
to be intrenching; 100000 men are In

The next few days will determine
whether and to what extent Gen.
Kuropatkin intends to make stand al
Totchekiao, the possession of which by
the Japanese could compel the immedi,
ate evacuation of NewchwanG.
The outposts of the armies are
scarcely Is miles apart. The slowness
of the advance is apparently due to

In Alameda. California, suburb Of
San Francisco, there are many vege-
table gardens, some kept by Italians,
some by Greeks, but most Of them by
Cinnamon.
Ten years ago these gardeners were
almost all Cinnamon, and they ac-
quired the belief that monopoly Of
the business was their right. About
seventy Of them had formed colony
Just outside Alameda, and laid out a
garden of about twenty acres.
Ono day some Japanese showed up
and leased an adjoining strip of land.
They put up some shacks, and then,
to the great indignation of the China
men. they began plowing up their
land for garden truck.
OF course. there could be no
friendly relations between them. but
for year their enmity found express
sion in nothing worse than scowls
and occasional boundary disputes.
Then came the Chino-Japanese war.
Feeling ran high among the San
Francisco Cinnamon because their
local papers printed some fiery edi.
torials against the Japs. This spirit
of jingoism was communicated to the
Alameda Cinnamon, and the relations
between them and their Japanese
neighbors became intensely strained.
The Japs placed outposts along the
boundary fences, fearing that the
Chinese would raid their truck
