The weak, broken spirited person
grows morbid and melancholy, and the
brain degenerates rapidly under the
influence of these mental states. Mel
ancholia is something that comes more
within the province of the will power
than anything else. 1t can be cast of
and avoided only in this way. Some
times for the lack of stimulating the
will physicians will recommend a
change of occupation, scenery and as
ISOLATION. This is merely an attempt
to rescue the mind from introspection
and give the will an opportunity to as
sert itself. Sometimes this is accom-
plished, and then. If followed up by
cultvating the will, permanent cure
may be effected.-Exchange.

The agricultural department at Wash
ington covers a wonderful range of in
vestigation. 1t has experts hunting for
new sorts of bugs to kill other bugs,
men in the far corners of the globe
hunting for new types of tree, plant,
grain, fruit and flower possibly adapta-
BILE to American soil and conditions;
scientists busy with microscope chas-
ing new kinds of bacterial life, others
propagating new forms of plant life,
and now we have one representative of
the department busy in Oklahoma with
a lot of prairie wolves. which have
been captured and confined, trying to
determine what sort of wire fence
they can't get over or through, this
that it may recommend some type of
fence for the use of the cattlemen of
the range country which will effectu-
ally shut out these animals from prey
ing on the tiocks and herds.

REFORMS THAT ARE URGENT
First Is the Safe Guarding of the Law in
Its Full Force.

First Is the afe-Guarding of the Law in
Its Full Force.
The czar then proceeds to the things
he considers urgent lin the interest Of
the legal strengthening of civic and
public life. First, the odoption of eff
fective measures for safeguarding the
law in it's full force as the most i'm
portant pillar Of the throne of the au-
tOcratic empire. in order that it's invio-
liable fulfillment for all alike shall be
regarded as the first duty by all the
places subject to us; that it's non-ful-
fillment shall inevitably bring with it
legal responsibility for every arbitrary
act. and that persons who have suf-
fered wrong by such acts shall be ena-
bled to secure legal redress.
Second, that local and municipal in
situations should be given as wide
scope os possible in the adlninistra ton
of various matters affecting local well
fare, and that they should have con-
ferred upon them the necessary indie
ptuuSuCc. WlluIu regal llullldtlOu, anu
that representative of all sections of
the population interested in locOl mat
tiers should be called upon, under equa-
BILE conditions, to take part in these
institutions with view to the COM

needs. Besides the governments and
zemstvos district institutions hitherto
existing there should be also estab-
lished in close connection with them
public institutions for the administra-

smaller extent.
Third, that in order to secure equal

law steps should be taken to bring
about the necessary unification of ju-

All things are to be had for the buy

is to be worthy Of friendship. The
price of glory is to do something glori-

thing shameful.
Friendship, glory, honor, admiration,

PULAJANEs ARE ON THE RUN

ReinfOrcements Arrive at the Threatened
Points-Besieged Relieved.
A dispatch from Manila to the press
shows that the action of the Philip
pine government is having prompt eff
feet. The dispatch is as follows:
Manila. Dec. PA detachment of
ninety men has reached Dolores, on
the island of Samar, where it is re-
inforcing Lieutenant Abbott, who, with
forty men, was besieged by a force es-
timated to number 1000 Pulajanes and
sixty Rules. The arrival of reinforce
ments is considered to have relieved
the situation. One hundred men of
the headquarters guard left Manila for
Saanar last Friday, and they probably
have landed.
1.-THE main body of the Pulajanes is
now heading for the east coast, in
which direction they have destroyed
the telegraphs. 1t is believed the con-
stabulary and scouts are now able to
handle the situation, and that further
troops will ont be required
Details of the loss inflicted on the
constabulary by attacks of the Pula-
james show that on Nov. 10 400 Pula-
james and several hundred volunteers"
attacked twenty scouts at CrOsa, Sa-
mar, and killed hospital corps man
and wounded twelve scouts. Five 9th
ers are missing and thought to bedead.
In this case those killed and wounded
were badly mutilated. On Dec. 16 the
latest attack was made, which was
announced in dispatches last week.
In this attack Lieutenant s. X.
Hayt and thirty-seven scouts We're
killed. This took place at Dolores and
it was then that Lieutenant Abbott
asked for aid from the military author
tiles.

and promises a full legal trial of all
persons accused. The imperial decree,
which is entitled "A Scheme for the
Improvement of the Administration of
the State" is addressed to the senate
and says:
Aims to Meet the Real Needs.
I'm accordance with the revered will
of our crowned predecessor, and think
ing increasingly of the welfare of the
realm entrusted to us by God, we re-
gard it as our duty and the govern

empire, to have untiring care for the
country's needs, distinguishing all that
is really in the interests or the Rus

mistaken and influenced by transitory
circumstances.
Expects sympathy of the Well Disposed.
when the need of this or that
change is proved ripe then we consider
it necessary to meet it, even though
the transformation to which this leads
involves the Introduction of essential
innovations in legislation. We do not
doubt that the realizatio of such an
undertaking will meet with the SYM
pathy of the well-disposed section of
our subjects, who see the true pros

of civil tranquility and the uninter-
