The Courage of Women.

At the town Of Millmont. Pa. an C:I
well shooter passing through with a
wagon load of nitrOglycerin met with
an accident and for few moments
il seemed that he. his team and wagon
and perhaps half the town would be
blown up. The men standing about
took to their heels The women went
to the oil-shooter's rescue and by their
help the danger was averted.
Another proof that women are
Drawer than men.
But no proof is needed. This fact
was established long, long ago. There
is good ground for the suspicion that
Adam would have been afraid TO taste
that apple if Eve had not taken the
first bite.
Men have made glorious names for
bravery in history. Histories are writ
ten mostly by men themselves, you
know. But even the histories of men
cannot deny immortal glory to Joan
of Arc. Betty Lane and innumerable
other women who have been firm in
courage where all men failed.
The hosts of heroic women who
have gone into hospitals and infect
to care for the suffering, have afford
ed some of the most splendid exam
pies of courage and sacrifice the world
has known.
We are too apt to look only for
physical demonstrations of courage.
forgetting that the greatest benefits
to the human race in all ages have
come through moral courage that
shows no outward sign.
The courage of the wife who clings
to her husband through misfortune
and disgrace. of the mother who waits
and watches and prays when all hope
is gone and by sheer heart-yearning
draws the loved one back from the
borderlaRd of death. or patiently sub
mitS to the more cruel decree of fate.
is not a courage that finds its way into
history. but it. nevertheless. has the
innermost sacred place in the human
heart.
There is no question about the cOur-
age of women. There never has been
any ground for question.
The mouse may think he knows a
thing or two about it. but true cour-
age is not To be estimated from the
mouse standpoint.

London papers are commenting on

The outcome of the long drawn out

HIS DEMAND IS MILD.
UNCLE SAM TRIES TO AVOID
IRRITATION.
ThesState Department Officials
Decline to Make Any State
ment Regarding the
Russian Seizure.

Washington, July 28.-The State
Department has addressedshitself 10
the Russian government through
Spencer Eddy, the American charge
at st. Petersburg, on the subject of
the seizure of the cargo of the Arabia
by the Vladivostock squadron.
The State Department officials de
cline absolutely to make any public
statement respecting the character
of the representations made to the
Russian government regarding the
seizure. It is deemed highly de-
sirable to take conservative action
and above all to avoid increasing the
irritation aroused in shipping circles
over the recent seizure and sinking |
of vessels. Therefore Mr.. Eddy has
been, it is understood, instructed to
make some moderate representation
to the Russian government, and
these may be strengthened later on
= if the development Of additional facts
seem to make this expedlent.
London, July 28.-The tension in
the Russo-British relations has been
relaxed and no rupture is now prob
able. Count Benckendorf, the Rus
sian Ambassador to Great Britain,
informed Lord Lansdnwne this
morning that if Russia had commit
ted a wrong she was ready and will
ing to make full r~eparation, but be-
fore any action could be taken in
the Knight Commander case the
opportunity of receiving the report
of the commander of the. VladIvos-
tok squadron. Lord Lansdowne was
not disposed unduly to press the
matter and promised to wait a reas.
enable time.
It developed to-day that the Uni
ted States is depending on Grea
Britain to obtain compensation fol
the loss of the Knight Commando
cargo. It is the custom for shIl
owners to be responsible for cargOs
and therefore the American claim !
to be made to the owners of tn
Knight Commander, who of course
are British, and Who in turn, viii
make a claim to the British govern
ment. 4
