-Patrolnan James Dockery Of the
st. Louis police force the other day
rescued Mrs. Walter Able from the
Mississippi river. He was standing on
the levee when he saw the woman
jump in. Throwing off coat and re-
volver, he plunged in after her. The
current was strong and she attempted
to fight her rescuer, who dragged her
to shore by her hair. Mrs. Able had
lately been sued for divorce. This
makes Patrolman Dockery's sixth res
cue from the river this year.
Rev. A. Pullman of Berea, o., was
delegate to conference of his church
not long ago in Cleveland and intend
ed to take the train at neighboring
town. He was delayed in some way
and therefore telegraphed to the sta
ton master: Hold Cleveland train for
me. Putnam" The station master
did not notice the extra IN" in the
name signed to the dispatch, and, for
getting that George M. Pullman died
years ago, he held the train as direct
ed. On learning Of the misunderstand-
ing he used some vigorous langua ge
after recovering his breath.

Vests Good Luck and Hard Luck
Story.

The late Senator Vest, Of Missouri
used to tell a story of good luck and
hard luck without a counterpart, ac-
cording to the Buffalo Commercial.
One day, while he was a member of
the Confederate Congress, he lost a
months pay somewhere on the streets
of Richmond. Just as the woman in
Scripture who lost a piece of silver
called together her friends and neigh
bors and sought diligently until she
found it, he called his friends and went
with them on what seemed a hopeless
search through the snow covered, dim
ly lighted streets of Richmond. The
Chances were thousand to one
against a success. I'VE hadn't been
out fifteen minutes when a young lieu
tenant in our party stopped down and
picked up my lost roll. l was in high
glee, and wanted to treat We We're
piloted to a cafe, which, pending some
repairs, had a ladder of about dozen
rungs instead of stairs. We all climb
ed up considering it a great lark, all
the while talking about what lucky
fellow the young lieutenant was, and
predicting great things for him. AS
we climbed down again the young lieu
tenant fell down the ladder and broke
his neck"

Modern Medicine.

The Modern Doctor arrived in his
automobile in the nick of time, says
Life. The patient was getting we'll.
In a couple of days of rest and quiet
he would have been all right. His
pulse" said the Modern Doctor, ''in-
dicates that streptococci will arrive
on the next train and may force an
entrance, if the doors are left open,
and they can get in without register
ing. His temperature, although nor
NAL, is only this way because he didn't
expect me, and his respiration shows
plainly that he must have been drink
ing Florida water and swallowed one
of the seeds. This is no time, there
fore, for child's play. We must re-
move the appendix at once" But"
said the Modern Patient, 'let me I'M
derstand the precise reason for this
thing, which l cannot but regard as d
serious matter" "Ha! Hal" laughed
the Modern Doctor, "as if, with thir-
teen more operations to perform be-
fore the noon bell rings, 1 had any
time for small talk" So saying he
clapped on the ether bag, performed a
few deft movements with the upper
arm, and motioning to his private sec
rotary to enter up the amount on his
card system, he was off once more.

ut seems to me-" said his friend,
that your college ought to establish
a chair of gambling"
"A chair of what?" said the profess
sors, according to the New York Press.
Gambling. 1t is the great occupa-
tion of many, If not most of us, and
the average college graduate is apt to
take it up in some form or other i'm
spite of all the warning he may re-
ceive. Therefore, why not train him
to follow it with skill and success
Why not have, say, lectures on how to
play poker, on how to play the races,
on how to speculate in stocks and so
on. If you could have these subjects
properly handled you might turn out
a corps of experts who would cover
their alma mater with glory and reap
a golden harvest for themselves"
"But, supposing the movement to be
a success, it would simply ruin the
public"
well. Judge that's what the pub
lie is for. II is simply question of
who gets the money"

THE STATE ELECTION.

Chairman Yeomans of the State
Democratic Committee is anxious that
a large vote shall be poIled at the
state election, not only because it will
help the Democratic ticket in the ma
tional election, but also because he
wants to make sure that the constitu-
tional amendments will be carried.
In view of the fact that there is no
opposition ticket, voters will be in
clined to think their votes are not
needed, and if they are not impressed
with the importance of voting many
will not take the trouble to go to the
coils.
1t is the duty of every citizen to reg
lister and vote, and this duty is more
important than many citizens are in
clined to think it is. For instance, il
may tbe that there is a considerable
but quiet sentiment against some one
or all of the constitutional amend
ments. 1t may be sufficient to defeat
them If only a small number of votes
is cast, although a great majority of
the voters may be in favor of them.
The Legislature spent great deal
of time on these amendments, and it
would be a sad commentary on the ap-
probation which the people have Of
their liberties and privileges If they
should permit them to be defeated by
their failure to exercise their much
priced right to vote.
One of the most important of these
amendments opens the way for local
taxation for school purposes. 1t doesn't
make such taxation obligatory. II
simply says that communities, it they
want to, may raise money. in addl-
ton to what they get from the state,
for the lettering of their school ad-
vantages.
1t would have been a good thing for
the party and for the amendments IL
Chairman Yeomans could have ar
ranged for at least one rally of the
party and one speech in each county
between the making of the ticket and
the election. That would have in
volved, of course, a good deal of work
and considerable expense, but it would
have helped to keep alive genuine
Democratic sentiment among the peo.
pie. We cannot reasonably expect
that there will always be practically
only one party in the state. An oppo-
sition party is likely to take the field
at any time. We know not what is
sues the immediate future has in store.
1t would be well for the Democratic
party to be prepared for them, what
ever they may be. There is no better
way to be prepared than to keep alive
the spirit of the party and to have
its members in touch with each other
by means of an occasional rally and
speeches respecting Democratic doc
trine.

TIE WAR Has JUST BEGUN.


The japanese hoped to end the war
with the capture of Port Arthur and
the taking of Lao Yang. At Lao
Yang they planned to capture Kuro-
patkins army. They failed in that,
but they nevertheless believed that
with the destruction of that army and
the fall of Port Arthur the war would
end.
Are they not doomed to disappoint-
ment? The dispatches from st. Peters
burg indicate they are. The Car has
announced to the world that he will
impoverish his empire and send his
last soldier to the field before he will
submit to terms dictated by Japan.
He has ordered his military force in
Manchuria increased to 100000 men.
1t is to be divided into two armies.
Gen. Kuropatkin will command one
and Gen. Grippenberg the other.
Japan now understands she will have
to contend against the whole military
power of Russia. Is she equal to the
undertaking? That is a question
which time alone can answer. Those
who know her resources and are ac-
quainted with the qualifications of
her soldiers believe she is.
Thus far she has been the victor on
every battlefield and in every engage
ment on the sea. Her finances are
on as solid a basis as those of Rus
sia- Her soldiers are no drawer than
those of Russia, but they are far more
intelligent, and her generals have
better understanding of the science of
war. In every battle thus far in the
war, the Japanese have showed their
superiority. They know how to take
advantage of the mistakes of their OPP
ponents and they are trained in the
minutest particulars relating to war
fare. These things are bound to tell
in their favor. They enable an in
ferior force to overcome a superior
one.
The Japanese fight intelligently, the
Russians blindly. There is nothing in
modern warfare with which the Japa-
nese are not acquainted, nothing which
can be utilized to advantage that they
have not adopted. The Russians do
not appear to have kept abreast of
the developments in the science of war.
Their officers are behind the age, and
the men in the ranks are unfit to take
the initiative in emergencies unfore-
seen by their leaders.
The chances therefore are in favor
of Japan, even though the Car has
determined to employ the whole
strength of his vast empire in the
struggle. But the situation which
Japan faces is we'll calculated to bring
an expression of seriousness to the
faces of her people.
