A Joke He Liked.

In the strain and excitement of trad
ing on Wall street the brokers, says
Mr.. E. G. Stedman in the Century
Magazine, often relapse into wild mer-
riment and play boyish pranks. On
one occasion an old Indian with a
young brave, boy and two squaws
entered the gallery. AT once the floor
put forth every effort to break down
their stolidity. A war whoop had no
effect. A war dance did not arouse
even a smile.
AT last a baldheaded man was thrust
into ring Of young fellows, his hands
held behind him, knife drawn around
his pate, and the mummery of a futile
attempt to detach his scalp was en-
acted
This was at last too much for the dig
nifty of the aborigines. The boy broke
into broad laugh, in which the squaws
joined; the young warrior grinned in
spite of himself, and at last the SEM
blance of grim humor overspread the
face of the ruthless old chief, who may
have been the perpetrator Of as many
atrocities as Geronimo.

ranchman, went to Cheyenne county,
Kan, early in 1900 to manage the
Dewey ranch. Soon after his arrival
there he became involved in trouble
with the Berry family. who Were also
prominent cattlemen.
In June, 1908, Dewey and his cow
boys went to the Berry ranch to get a
tank that Dewey had bought in at a
sheriff's SALE The fued had grown
bitter before this time, and when the
Deweys started to take the tank away
the Berry boys rode up and a battle
took place between the two factions.
Burchard Berry was killed.

record made by that battleship in her
target practice just completed at Pen

One 13-inch gun made six hits out
of seven shots in five minutes and
twenty seconds. An S-inch gun made
ten hits out of ten shots in five min
utes and twenty seconds and "a 5-inch
gun made eighteen hits out of eighteen
shots in two minutes. At the navy de-
partment this record was declared to
be the best ever made by United

in any foreign navy.

been instructed by the state depart
ment, at the request of NJ Takahira,
the Japanese minister at Washington,
to ask the Russian government what
facilities will be afforded to the 49,
600 Japanese in Siberia to return to
Japan.
According to information received
here compare lively few Japanese are
now in Siberia. Most of them left
there just prior to or after the break
ing out of the war. The United States
embassy, which is charged with safe
guarding japanese interests, has thus
far responded to the appeals Of score
Of japanese coming from Siberia
through European Siberia. The last
batch of twelve, from Irkutsk. was
sent to Berlin Saturday. Not one Of
them has been Elolested, but it is con-
sidered safer that the Japanese be
placed beyong the region of possible
danger No appeals have been re-
ceived from the few Japanese residing
in st. Petersburg and other cities Of
European Russia.

COTTON KING" FAILS
Enormous Profits in Former Deals Sunk

Go into the Millions.

New York, March 19.-The sus-
pension of Daniel j. Sully & Co., the
senior member of which is Daniel J.
Sully, the operator whose dealings in
and manipulation of the cotton market
have been the sensation of the specu-
lative world for several years, was
announced on the cotton exchange
Friday This announcement came at
the close of a long decline in the price
of future contracts.
His profits on his old deals were
known to be enormous and presumably
all of these were used to bolster his
present deals. After the suspension
was announced Sully locked himself
in his Office and declined to give out
any statement. Wild guesses were
made as to the liabilities, but. all
agreed that they must be we'll up in
the millions.

The vigor and purity Of language
can only be preserved by the fashion
able class, the class whom in matters
social everybody initiates, speaking it
well. But how can English be well
spoken when some of the greatest la
dies speak the idiom of Massachusetts
through their noses and large pro-
portion of the men cough the idiom of
Frankfort from their threats? The
constant babbling of broken English
at dinner tables and in drawing rooms
is becoming quite fatiguing, and as a
result the English speak their tongue
worse than it was ever spoken before.
Everybody knows the temptation to
speak assortJ of baby pigeon English
to a foreigner in the strange hope that
it may be more ineligible to him.
This and the slang taught us by the
Yankees have reduced the English Ian
guage as spoken by smart people to a
base jargon.-Saturday Review.

Malay Superstition.

MalayS have very much the same
ideas of bad and good luck signs as
prevail in other countries. If one trips
on the steps of his house or knocks his
head against the Intel when starting
for journey he delays day, if posi-
BILE, for the accident portends death.
Fearful ill luck will attend a native
who starts on journey in the rain, for
the rain signifies tears. AS a swarm
of bees settling on or near a house in
England brings good luck, so the result
is the very opposite in Malay districts.
A bird flying into Malay house de-
cidedly benefits the occupier, for, if
caught, smeared with oil and COM
handed to fly away with all the i'll
luck and misfortunes of the house, all
will be we'll.
In Singapore we see Malay cottages
around us, here and there, yet few
know the superstitions prevailing with
regard to the building of these habita-
tons. For instance, if the steps in
front are by an unlucky chance placed
exactly under the center rafters it will
mean quarrels and fighting under the
roof. A visitor to one of these dwell
ings must never lean against the steps
when talking. That would entail a
funeral. from the house. This weird
notion arises from the fact that cof-
fins are handed to men at the bottom
of the Steps.-London Times.

Japs Not Using Unlawful Explosives Says
High Official Russian.


st. Petersburg, March 1S. The
charges against the japanese of vio-
lating the rules of civilized warfare
in using explosives forbidden by The
Hague convention find no echo in re-
sponsible circles here. The Japanese
are acquitted on that score by high
naval officer who holds very respon-

1.-The accusation against the Jap
anese of using explosives to produce
poisonous gases is based on mis-
conception. They are employing the
same explosives as other armies and
navies. 1t is notorious that the burst
ing of melinite shell between decks
generates fumes from which the men
are liable to asphyXiation, but the Rus

than that used by the Japanese. We

The troubles Of people are unneces-

are forever looking down instead Of
up, which is only another way Of say
ing that they live on low plane in
stead of on high one; that they
breathe the miasmatic airs Of the
