Insionifieant Causes of War.

The seven years war was largely
due, according to his own confession,
to the vanity of Frederick the Great
in wanting to see his name figure
largely in the gazettes; the Indian
mutiny was precipitated by the car
tridges served out to the Sepoys,
which they believed were creased
with the fat of animals Hnclean alike

Turko-Russian war, in the opinion of
thousands, was started by the black

The Mud of Patagonia.

A scientist exploring Patagonia
says: THE impassability of Pata-
gonian mud is proverbial. You can
not walk through it and it takes a
sturdy mule to carry you through.
More often than not it is caused by
the borrowings of tailless rat knowD
as the tucu-tucu. Acres upon acres,
amounting to square miles even-of
otherwise sound and wholesome
ground are undermined by this indie
fatigable little pest; he holds the
country as nothing else holds it, until
the advent of the sheep or cattle
(Which he hates) induces him to shift
the scenes of his nightly labors."

Weird Cold Weather Story.

Oscar Willie of LIE Sueur, Mimi. met
with most remarkable accident re-
Gently that very nearly cost him his
life. With his rifle in hand he was at
tempting to get within range of a cat
he desired to shoot, when the animal
ran up into the framework supporting
the water tank.
Standing directly beneath the cat,
Willie shot straight up at it, careless
ly forgetting the fact that the tank
was within range.
The bullet killed the cat and
pierced the bottom of the tank and in
an. instant the water, gushing out, sur
rounded MIR. Willie with a complete
shower bath in temperature of Sc
degrees below zero.
Instantly his overshoes froze to the
stone foundation on which he was
standing, and, STOPPING to unbuck1e
them, he was chained by the spray,
freezing in the terrible cold as fast
as it fell into a helpless statue of ice,
stiff and immovable as a stone. Only
by his STOPPING posture, which kept
his face free from the ice, was he
saved from suffocation.
Soon the flow of the water was
stopped by the sediment of the tank
flowing into the bullet hole, and a
little son of Mr.. Willie, who had seen
the whole affair, ran for assistance. 1t
was necessary to loosen the unfor-
tunate mans feet with chiSe1s and
when he had been carried into the
house by three strong men the ice
had to be broken from him with clubs.
He was badly frightened by the
experience, but otherwise unframed.
The body of the cat was found fro
zen to his back-Pioneer Press.

Cars Advisers.

wi. lie FlehWe prominent Among the
Cars Advisers.
Among the most powerful men in
Russia, in foreign as well as in do
nestle affairs, is M. De Plehwe, minis
ter of the interior. When promoted to
his present Office he was head of the
police department. To him perhaps
more than to any other member of the
imperial council is credited the steadi-
ness with which Nicholas II. has pur-
sued the greater Russian policy which
has forced the present war after having
raised the eagles of the car over Fin
land. Rightly or wrongly De P1ehwe
has been charged with having been
the agent who instigated the fearful
massacre at Kishineff He was prompt
to deny, however, that either his i'm
perial master or himself gave the nod
of permission for the slaughter.

Photographs of John D. Rockefeller

Almost any price could be obtained
for an up-to-date photograph of Miss
Helen Gould or of John D. Rockefeller.
1t is next to impossible to secure an
interview from either of them. 1t is
declared that Mr.. Rockefeller has not
been interviewed, photographed or
snapshoted in the last five years. A
number of rather weird sketches of
the king of all the magnates have
been published. but most of them are
caricatures. Nearly all the pictures
labeled John d. Rockefeller" were
taken years ago, many of them being
twenty-five years old. A dealer in pic
lures of celebrities said the other day
that he would pay $500 for good
photo taken within the last year.

HERE'S WISHING HIM Sue
CESS.

We take the following clipping
from the Richmond Register of
last week:
Elsewhere in these columns APP
pears the announcement of Mr..
Clarence +. Woods for Mayor of
Richmond, subject to the action
of the Democratic party. Mr..
Woods is too we'll and favorably
known to the community to re-
quire the usual steryotyped terms
In vogue in announcing candidates
for office. We all know him to
be a patriotic, unselfish, useful
citizen, and an upright, honorable
gentleman. His life has. been a
record of devotion to Richmond.
In every movement for municipal
betterment, in all the good works
that make for progress, and in
every step taken for our town s
advancement, he has ever been
frs and foremost. His heart is
pure and his hands are clean, and
ne is loved and admired by us all.
The election of men such rs he to
office would be taking a long
stride toward purity in politics,
which we consider the greatest
need of the day.
Mr.. Woods is an educated, poll
ished and upright gentleman, and
we heartily wish him success.
But, if he goes in on the platform
upon which he stood four years
ago, he stands small chance to
get ahead of the grafters and the
schemers. He would stand
sqlarely across the road of any
schemes that might be started to
get unjust gains from the public
purse of his city.
Any way, we earnestly wish
him success.

OBITUARY..

In loving remembrance of How
ard Franklin Grain, who died Oc-
tober IA, 1904.
Howard has gone, and oh, such
a shadow has fallen on a mothers
lonely heart in thus giving up, in
the first flush of manhood, her
only soma son any mother might
we'll be proud of-noble, rarely
gifted, generous and true. At
times during his illness, the pa
tient mother would bend over the
fern of her darling boy and watch,
with anxious longing, the breath
ing and beating pulse, consoling
herself that it would not be long
until she would again see her dear
boy restored to the full enjoyment
of health. But, not SO. The
beautiful flower was nipped in its
early unfolding, but it blooms
again and forever in the garden
celestial. Would that words of
mine had power to console the
one from whose young life its
brightest ray has been taken.
Whose sorrow is too sacred to be
intruded upon with consoling
word, which seem as idle mockery
now. Remember, Whom the
Lord loveth he chasteneth." May
this great trial bind closer to-
gether the stricken mother, father
and sister left behind. What we
have loved SO tenderly while living
here on earth, we may still cher
ish with affectionate remem-
brance, cheered by the hope Of
meeting him in the bright forever
where he is now.
Gone where the shadows of life
can not come,
Where every stranger may find u
sweet home,
Severed the chain that bound him
to earth,
Gone to the land where the soul
has new birth,
Where there are treasurers of
beauty untold
Rivers of silver and mountains of
G Id.
Weep not to miss one from earth's
weary shore.

one more.
