Alfred James, of the University Of
Virginia, was a disturbing element in
farm life one day last week, says the
Baltimore Sun.
He went out to ReisterstOwn to visit
a friend. He found the young man In
the barn about to begin the days milk
ing. His friend is civil engineer but
is spending the summer at his coun-
try home, in Baltimore county, ard de-
nights in the simple occupations of the
farm. One Of his hobbies is milking
the cows, and he was about to begin
On very ladylike cid brindle when
Mr. James climbed the fence and call
ed out to him.
Mr.. R.. the gentleman of hufoic
tastes, came to meet him, and the two
shook hands and chatted for a few
minutes.
Excuse me, old man" he said to
Mr.. James. while l milk the cow"
Go ahead" the latter replied. I'D
like to watch you do it."
Thereupon Mr.. II. put his stool in
place, arranged his legs as long-lim Jed
milkmen have to do and proceeded
Mr.. James walked TO the cows head
and gently stroked her neck, saying
appropriate and endearing things the
while. He had his pipe in his hand
and held it under tn cows nose.
She shifted, looked about, shifted
again and loked about, and then sniff
ed. She seemed to like it. Mr.. James
began to laugh, but in few minutes
Mr.. r. got up in disgust. He said a
few things about the cow and com
plained that the blooming old thing
won't let down a drop of milk"
He then kicked her in the ribs,
drove her into her stall and turned the
lob of milking over to one of the
farm hands as he went off with his
guest.
The cow was so delighted with the
odor of the smoke that she forgot all
about giving milk as usual.
Mr.. James thought it was great
joke on a suitable occasion. But the
funniest part Of the joke didn't seem
to appeal to him so much the morn
ing following the incident. when al
breakfast coffee had to be drunk with.

fore.

Truth compels the assertion that
among the prevailing primal impulses
war; conflict, has held commanding
place. Nature from one standpoint
seems indeed red in tooth and claw.
What shall we say then? Is war in

the so-called superior races upon the
weaker and inferior will ever cease.
The admission brings the blush of

THE REAL "YeLLow PERL. !"
Napoleon Had Cossacks in Mind When
He Warned Against Russia.

Napoieou had IcSSacks an Mind when
He Warmed Against Russia.
Last winter, when, among those Of
the Russians who We're not hoping for
war and the defeat of their own coun-
try, | inquired the grounds of their
contemptuous underestimate of the
japanese, l scarcely ever got for re-
ply more than the citation of Russla's
1S0,OO0O0O of population, her posses
sion of One-seyenth of the dry land of
the earth, and the Cossacks. The dis
cussion usually closed with tine asser-
ton: "One Cossack can whip ten of
those little yellow monkeys"
This faith is based partly on the
impression which the Cossacks made
upon Western Europe as long ago as
the Seven Years War, and which was
heightened by their disorganization Of
Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. Ma
poleon himself pronounced them per-
feet masters of partisan warfare. fu-
rious in attack and impossible to reach.
and said that he did not remember
having made a prisoner of single one
of them. Finally, he HAD the Cossc cks
III mind when he warned Europe that,
unless checked by such a powerful
unit as he had sought to construct,
Russia would enslave the world. That
Napoleon's prediction has not been
forgotten may be inferred from the
recent assertion in various quarters
that the real yellow peril" is the pos
sllility of the organization of the
MonGolian races by Russia. and that a
Slavic Jenghiz Khan may direct new
Golden Horde against the West.-Cen-

swell the great total Of the missing.
Most men are sensitive where their
umbrellas are concerned and the sad
dest fact Of all to them is that there
is no means of restoring the lost,
strayed or stolen articles to their own
ers. Insurance is q remedy that Sug-
gcsis itself But on inquiry an Ex-
press representative found that there
- not a single insurance office in Lon
don that makes a speciality of max
ing provision for the loss of umbrel-
las. Dogs, cats. babies and bicycles
can be insured Several companies
make themselves responsible for keys
and season tickets. II is even posi-
bic to insura against the risk of forg-
cry, but against the umbrella thief
there is no protection.
To the manager Of an insurance
company the Express representative
ventured to suggest a bureau where an
umbrella might be numbered like
bunch of keys. and where the finder
would be rewarded.
1T has been tried" was the reply.
The firm gave it up in despair.
THE amount Of the premium does
not encourage customers. 4 shilling
year insures a key ring, but UNI
brellas are so liable to loss that the
premium would be almost equal to the
actual value Of the umbrella.
THE numbering Of all umbrellas in
c central registry at the lost property
office would be sufficient protection
against accidental misrepresentation
The owner could then be found simply
by consulting the register"

LOVE OF WAR PASSING.

The lovers of peace do no deny he
value and inevitabeness OF war in
past ages. Many evils worse than
war, like slavery. oppression and moral
degradation. have been conquered
by this cruel arbitrament But lie
growing intelligence, philanthropy and
unity Of the race. the better ideals and
modern inventions, lead us to realize
the cost and horror Of war as never
before. Billion of dollars and mill
lions of choice lives, poverty. sorrow.
robbery prejudice. lack Of outward
prospecting for years, these are some
Of the results that follow warfare. and
men can no longer regard it as n true
or legitimate method Of settling ma
tional difficulties.
Nobler ideals win the admiration of
tho present generation. We honor the
political leader but we recognize also
the worlds debt TO peaceable reform
ers. to scholars and phllanthroplsts,
and we begin to see that in dealing
with each other nations must put
away ''childng things and avoid
those things that make for war These
are hopeful indications Of that good
time coming when we shall be 50 occu-
pied In the arts of peace that we shall
learn war III more.

PLAN TO BUILD
BIG CANAL
Chicago Sewerage 10 Be Drained Into
Canal Instead of Lake
Michigan.

Chicago, April PA new drainage
canal auxiliary to the main canal is
to be built by the Chicago sanitary
board at cost Of sl2.000,000 to drain
the entire Calumet district, which in
cludes the south side of Chicago, the
whole of South Chicago, Blue Island
and all the towns OF Illinois and indi
ana lying in the Calumet river valley
The sanitary trustees also recently
resolved to turn the seweraga of the
stockyards district into the main
drainage canal
The main canal will now BE forced
d carry twice its accustomed amount
of sewerage toward st. Louis, for the
new district to be drained generally
includes such manufacturing interests
as Chicago refuses to permit within
its city limits, because Of their un
cleanliness.
The sewerage is now empti i into
the lake and the result is that the
drinking water Of the south side
South Chicago, Hammond, Whiting
Roby ana neighboring towns is con
stantly polluted, and persons fear to
locate in the new industrial districts
because Of the fever epidemics.
The new canal will divert this sew
erage from the lake into the main
canal, ana then into the Mississippi
river
The new district to be drained may
be said to include the filthlest parts
Of Chicago, Illinois and Indiana.
What is known as the Sag route"
has been chosen for the auxiliary
channel
The plans to build the new canal
ana choice Of routes were decided
upon at the meeting Of the sanitary
board yesterday afternoon
The board will purchase a strip of
lana about 1000 feet wide along the
sag route from Blue Island to the
drainage channel and contruct a canal
20 feet wide in rock sections and 10
feet wide in earth sections. II win
