",rhe south is not going to indulge itself in worries or vain regrets" says the Atlanta Constitution. with the greatest cotton crop 1t has ever known. and the whole world after fl at high prices, the south greets the other sections of our common country with cheerfulness and confidence Down here we have our eyes turned hopefully toward the future. We have gone throusi, many worse experience only to come out smiling. With the Hons share of the prevailing nationa prosperity---due to benehcent Provi dence, and not to the republican party --we send greetings to the sistel states, north and west, and assure them all: We can stand it if they can.''

England has about 5OOO0 miles of railroad while the United States has about 100000. Last year there were 9,9S4 people killed by railroad acci- dents in this country, but not one per son killed in Engiapd. While Eng land has only one-fourth as much rail- road as this country, the population Is much more dense than here and they do q much heavier passenger trafAc than in the United States. They must have much better system of rail. roading than we. have or else their employees must exercise q great deal more care. At all events the railroad companies of the United States could profitably take lesson from those of the mother country.

There has been muci, during the past three months to suggest the conclusion that kuropatkin had no efficient weapon to fight with and that in place of making a failure in the task before him at the start he has succeeded in that he has held the enemy back while he was wedding out his poor material and m general reconstructing his army.

ONLY A DOG.
But It's Owner Is Certain That It Has
 a Conscience.

Buf It's owner IS Certaln That It Has
 a Conscience.
 And now they say animals know right from wrong, and that even in a puppy's breast is kindled that spark or divine fire. conscience.
 The beasts of the field have eaten of the fruit of the tree of knowledge or good and evil. That they are capable of loving and of deyoting themselves to those they love: that they offer mod els of maternal and conjugal affec- ton, has long been admitted, and to- day they are credited with expressions of some notion. however obscure or imperfect. of good and evil, of merit and deinerit. of justice and injustice. There is a familiar anecdote from the naturalist. Roumanes, about l1is dog, which never stole thing in his life, save once. and then under these cir cumstances:
 "One day when he was hungry" says his master, The seized a outlet from the table and carried 1t under a sofa. was witness to this fact, but pretended had seen nothing, and the culprit remained some minutes under the sofa, divided between the desire to assuage his hunger and the senti- nent of duty. The latter finally trs- umphed and the dog deposited at my feet the outlet which he had stolen This done he returned to conceal him. self under the sofa, whence no appeal could make him emerge. In vain I gently patted his head. The only ef- feet of this caress was to make him turn his face with an air of contrition that was truly conlical.v
 What gives particular value to this example, concludes Roumanes, is that the dog in question had never been beaten so that 1t could not have been fear Of corporal punishment which actuated him.

The appointrnent of General Kuro-
 patkjn to the position of commander in chief of the armies In the far easr
 must be taken by the outside world as a government indorsemeilt of his policy in Mancburia, says an exchange. That policy has pugzled military men who have traced the events of the campaign since Generaf Kuropatkin announced to his army and to the world that the Japanese were to be driven into the sea. It was naturally supposed that if he felt strong enough to accomplish. that feat even at the end of year his first move would be to march to the relief of Port Arthur. A very weak attempt to do so was made by the command of General Sta keiberg with 8 force of 14,OOO men.
 After one battle of six hours duration Stakelberg retreated. Newchwang was given up without a struggle, and the passes from Fengwangcheng to Liao- yang were but weakly defended. At
 Liaoyang tue Russians fought for the first time. in the campaign with a de- termination that recalled SevastapOl and Pleyna. From the presence of an
 enemy badly battered Kuropatkin re- treated, and then it began to be sur missed that the work cut out for him at tue start was the defense of Manchu-
 ria, with as much besides as he could
 safely undertake in the way of diver sion for thelrelief of General StoessePs garrison or forcing the Japs to recross the Yalu. At the first glance defense of Maachuria north of Mulzden seems q small matter for Russia in the course of summers campaign with her vast resources, in view of the fact that she was ostensibly prepared all along or
 since 1900 to do that very thing and a
 vast deal besides. But 1t seems that her preparation was sham. By read- ing between the lines of the official re- ports and manifestoes from St Peters burg and after making due allowance for the congregations of correspondents
 at the front it appears that Russia. s Manchurian army as 1t existed three
 months ago was sadly demoralized in it's personnel and unfit to be depended upon for an aggressive campaign Evl- ] dently the Duke Boris incident was not

NEW YORK FASHIONS
Pattern For Girls Blouse Frock Desianed by Martha Dean

Many of the stylAs that have taken such q hold upon adult fashionable per- sons are duplicated in q modified manner for the young girls fashions. This is ex- empfiAed in the smart design illustrated, with it's deep yoke. long shoulder effect, as we'll as the full gathered blouse and slkirt The design is capable of several variations and will lend itself to any material from cottons to the most expen- sive silk. The full blouse is gathered to . yoke which may be in plain or drop shoui- der atyle. Made with the fancy collar one would have three distinct styles from the same pattern. and yet all would be en- tirely different. With such model one could fit out the little maiden with both school dresses and Sunday-go-to-meeting frocixs. As illustrated, 1t is made 0f blue cashmere. which is fast becoming the popular material of. the season, trimmed with black hercules braid. The pointed collar as made of ali over lace.
