NGboIeon's Spies.

The recently discovered memoirs Of
certain Captain d'Aubigney Of Mar
shall soult's army relates an interesting
anecdote Of the times OF ths great Ma
poleon.
During the reign Of Emperor Napo-
leon at dinner in Paris the conver-
sation turned upon the Emperor and
his Government, according 10 the
story. One Of the company remarked
that he was a great man, but was too
fond Of war. When the party broke
up a gentleman who was present re-
quested to speak In private to the per-
son who had made that observation.
Sir" said he, II am sorry for it, but
1 must request you to go with me to
the police" "Why?" said the other,
in the greatest apparent alarm. II
have said nothing against the En-
acknowledge-tha he is too fond of
war. There can be no harm IN that"
with that I have nothing to do.
You must go with me to the police"
The other now began to show the
strongest symptoms Of fear; he en-
treated the police agent in the most pa
thetic language to have compassion on
him. The other, however, stood un-
moved by all his solicitation, when sud-
denly the man rose from his knees and
burst into laugh, to the utter aston
ishment of the informer. You think
you have caught me-" said he. You
are spy Of the police; so am I, and 1
was put over you to see whether you
would do your duty"

THE BALKAN OUTLOOK.

II OR time past comparatively little public at
r. tention has been given to the progress of affairs in
L the Balkans. 1t have been forgotten that
this time last year the portents of far
threatening there than in Manchuria. Diplomatists
were kept busy night and day trying maintain peace
through the of Europe while in Austria and in
Turkey troops modified and held in readiness for
immediate action should it be necessary The crisis,
however was passed without outbreak, and of late
events in Manchuria have been of such nature
absorb attention, that for time Macedonia and her
troubles have been well nigh forgotten.
The shifting of interest from southeastern Europe to
northeastern Asia has been due wholly to the ncreas
ing strain upon the relations between Japan and Russia
and any dminution in the critical nature of the
situation the Balkans. AS matter of fact the danger
of in that part of the world is fully threatening
now as it year ago. when everybody was looking
for uprising in the spring The powers that direct
the of Europe repressed the dsconents of the
Balkan people last year. but did the
of them. and consequence the elements of strife
exist there full of potency ever 1t IS even proba
bic that conflict between Russia and Japan might lead
in the Balkans, by removing from the hostile
the strong hands of the that have hitherto
kept them in order.
recent report from Constantnope after reviewing
the delay of the Turk in nsutng promised reforms,
and the increasing dissatisfaction of the Christian pop
uation of the empire, says
"The reluctance of the Turks arises, doubt,
from their dislike to the whole of the project imposed
by Europe Is largely increased from their hopes of
struggle between Russia and Japan. If this should
take place it would indeed be terrible for the
Christian population of the Balkans. Probably all pre-
of intention to carry out tho reforms would be
thrown aside The Turkish newspapers give ample evi-
dence of the intense which the Turks take in the
question between Russia and Japan Usually the space
devoted foreign is very small For weeks past,
however, the Turkish papers crowded with state
mens the Japanese question to leave the impress
sion that French Russian and English journals
fully examined and extracts given from all which
afford any indication of what is likely happen in the
Far East.
From that and from similar statements coming from
Constantinope from Vienna, it is evident that
Manchura would dangerously increase the chances of
in the Balkans In the passage quoted, given
the Macedonian of the situation but other writers,
who studying the crisis the spot, declare that
outbreak of in Manchura would be followed by
immediate uprising in Macedonia, matter what the
Sutans government may do leave undone. Indeed
the whole Balkan peninsula is in state of unstable
equilibrium. The present status maintained solely by
the of Europe and should the be broken
up weakened by of frst-class magnitude,
the chances that nearly the whole of the Turkish
dominions in Europe would be involved in confusion,
leading a not less portentous than that between
Russia and Japan.

increasing the compleity of the child problem in those
dense populations. This immigration consists too much
of non-rural population. Foreign conditions separate
people much from the SOIL and throw them in the
major minor trades and into unsklled labor that IS

TEE CABIN.

In the fall of 1883 Theodore
Roosevelt visited western North
Dakota: for his health, became
enraptured with the country,
bought the Maltese Cross "
brand of cattle and ordered built
the cabin now shown in the North
Dakota exhibit in the Agricultur-
al building, Worlds Fair.
The cabin stood eight miles
south Of Medora ION the line OF
the Northern Pacific Railroad in
the heart Of a romantic region
Astounding in big game. Here
Mr.. Roosevelt lived for three
years, dividing his time
between hunting and the actual
life OF a cowboy, and here he re-
gained health and acquired the
strength which has fitted him for
the arduous duties which have
since been his.
The cabin was purchased by
the state of North Dakota, taken
down last March, and rebuilt on
its present site exactly as it stood
on the banks OF the little Mis-
souri, River.
The articles shown in the cabin
were actually worn or used by
Theodore Roosevelt and have
been loaned by his late foreman,
who is now the owner of the
Maltese Cross" brand of cattle.

THE SEcRET OUT AT LAST.

A Virginia boy was asked to
write an essay on Masonry, and
here is what he wrote:
King Soloman was a man who
lived SO many years in the coun,
try that he was the whole push.
He was an awfully wise man, and
one day two women came to him,
each holding to the leg of a baby,
and nearly pulling it in two, and
each claiming it. And King Sol
oman wasn't feeling right good,
and he said: why couldn't the
brat have been twins and stopthis
bother?' And then he called for
his machete and was going to
Weylerize the poor innocent little
baby and give each woman a piece
of it, when the real mother of the
baby said: Stop, Solomon; stay
thy hand. Let the old hag have it.
IfIcan'thavea whole baby l won't
have any, Then Solomon told her
to take the baby and go home and
wash it's face, for he knew it was
hers. He told the other woman to
go chase herself. King Solomon
built Solomon's Temple, and was
the father of Masons. He had Sc .
en- hundred wives and three hui Z.
dred lady friends, and that's why
there are SO many mason's in the
world. My papa says King Solo
mon was a warm member, and l
think he was hot stuff myself.
That is all I know about King
Solomon"

BLACK RUST THIS YEAR.

HI. v. Jones, the wheat crop
prugnosticator, who has been Ill
vestlgating the prospects IN
Minnesota, North and South De-
kota, writes as follows:
The Northwestwheatcropw will
be very disappointing to Unose
who have pinned faith to the ex-
travagant claims issued recently
by the government and North
vest estimators who work from
their Offices rather than from the
held. Except in North Dakota the
promise has not been high for
wheat at any time. The promise
in North Dakota ranged from fair
to bumper, according to localities
out serious loss of yield is now
threatened by black rust in that
state that may force a wheat cal
amity or simply result in loss OF
yield, depending on whether the
rust moves over the state and a :
lacks late wheat at time Of going
INTO the dough. There are threat
ening indications, as the rusthas
done a more or less serious work
over South Dakota and the south
half of Minnesota, and is advanc-
ing apparently into North Dakota
the southern counties being in
fected at this time.
Much OF the wheatin southern
counties of North Dakota is dead
as a result Of rust, and it may as
we'll be cut this We elk as later. The
harvestin North Dakota will come
earlier than expected as a result
OF rust. Wheat will be cutin rust
districtsi in NorthD Dakota thisweek
and the quality of tho wheat will
be greatly impaired and weight
will run light. Much Of this kind
of wheat will be a mere chaff or
screening. Some that promised
20 bushels will not be cut, so baG'
ly infected is it.

THE FASCINATING M
Agreeable Manners Found to BE 4
Comm ercial Asset, s

For the lovely woman there has
been created a new vocation
which requires the superlative
qualities of sweetness, sympathy
and tact, says the Philadelphia
Record. To bewitch mere man
has been the easy pastime Of
woman ever since the world be-
gan, and it has led to no small
amount of trouble; but her new
mission is to fascinate persons Of
her own sex in the interest OF
peace. A leading manufacturer Of
agricultural implements has had
frequent small difficulties with
the hundreds of young women in
his establishment, always about
trivial matters, yet with the pos.
sibility of producing a consider.
able strike. To escape the perpet-
ual annoyance and the menace he
adopted the idea of the Chicago
school board. There had beenga
meeting Of the girl pupils of the
city normal schools because OF
the rigid, glum and even sullen as
pect of a leading male teacher,
His very appearance disheartened
the pupils. The board imported
from Philadelphia a gloom-dis-
pcller in the person of a fascinat-
ing woman whose smile alone
lurcd back the girls and whose
tactful sympathy inspired them
with a furious ambition. The
search of the manufactures for
another such charmer was
promptly successful, and she had
been installed among the reap.
ers, binders, harrows and the like
but a month when her influence
was seen to be dominant. The
young women were cheerful and
energetic. She had studied their
needs, instituted many improve.
ments, including the Introduction
of mirrors and rocking chairs for
the noon hour, and had trans.
formed the dusty shops into bow.
ers of beauty where the girls con.
slider it almost privilege to work.
The benefit Of the establishment
of the fascinating peace-producer
is many times greater than her
cost.
Much the same idea has oc.
Cured to an occasional summer
resort man. He has engaged the
fascinating, resourceful woman
to undertake the entertainment
of his guests. 1t is her part to
study the tastes of the important
ladies. to bring together such az
are congenial, devise various
pleasures and generally to see
that there is no dullness. She in.
sures the return of the guests for.
the next season. Also the gloom.
vanishing woman takes charge Of
the social features of railway ex.
%cursions across the continent. In
several large department stores
she is a model for the fashionable
hostess in that decorative depart
ment intended to display com.
pletely furnished suites of rooms.
Her reception of possible pur.
chasers adds to the pleasant i'm.
preston made by the rooms.
