Bait.

Izaak Walton is the patron saint of
all good fishermen. Here is his advice
as to bait: "Let your bait be as big a
red worm as you can find, without d
knot. Get pint or quart Of them in
an evening in garden walks or chalky
commons after shower Of rain, and
put them with clean moss we'll washed
and picked and the water squeezed out
of the moss as dry as you can into an
earthen pot or pipkin set dry, and
change the moss fresh every three or
four days for three weeks or month
together. Then your bait will be at
the best, for it will be clear and live

deed by the Japanese at Port Ar
thur-Divers Searching for Mines.
Che Foo, June 6.-But two miles
separated the japanese and Russian
armies on the Lao Tung peninsula on
June 2, according to Chinese who
have arrived here from Dalny. The
japanese army, reinforced by the
men who Handed at Dalny, occupied
living Ching and also Sanchimpo,
several miles west of Dalny. They
then proceeded along the coast toward
Port Arthur. On one side of the army
are high mountains and on the other
side is the sea, from which the Japa-
nese gunboats are supporting the
flank of the army. On June the
Japanese forces were within seven
miles of the outer forts of Port Ar
thur only two miles from the Russian
army, which is ready to contest their
further advance. The Chinese be-
lieved that there would be a big battle
at this point.
A japanese correspondent from
Dalny confirms the reported advance
of the Japanese army On Port Arthur.
He states, however, that there are
fifteen miles between the Japanese
and Port Arthur, instead of seven, as
reported by the Chinese. The Japa-
nese army is advancing along both
coasts. 1t is reported that the PENN
sular division on the east coast fought
battle within fifteen miles of Port
Arthur June 8. The result of the bat
tie has not vet been learned.

New Chwang, June 6.-Two carrier
pigeons arrived from General Stoes-

will not divulge the messages carried
by the birds, but declare they con-

cheerful since the pigeons arrived.
An Associated Press messenger
from the north reports that the mag
istrates of Hal Cheng and Lao Yang
were recently arrested by the Rus
slams and charged with furnishing
supplies and information to the en-.

but released after an investigation.
Influential natives declare that the ar
rests were not made because the Rus
slams believed they could prove the
charges, but because the magistrates
were noncommittal and refused to
aid either side.
The Russians are printing news
paper in Chinese at Mukden for the
purpose of influencing the natives.
The latest copy received at New
Chwang says that Japan attempted to
float second loan in America for 3d.

the Russian loss in the Yalu battle

REN AND MATILDA.

Rex was n gentleman. As every
body knows who Is at all familiar with
dogs, there are loafers, towards and
otherwise Inbred fellows among our
four footed friends; but now and then
we come across true gentleman, who
respects himself and so Is, Of course,
respected by all who know him.
But just as one. who is wise and re-
spectacle seldom or never is quite per-

realized il himself, but bad habits are
always hard to overcome, and the big

back in his awkward puppyhood, when
his feet were three sizes too big for
him, some cat had made sport Of him;
maybe RCX's falling was born with
him; but il was sore trial 10 the fam

fcssors, and Rex was as dignihed as
the wiscst professor in the land. one
does not even use harsh language TO
them; but something had 20 be done.
Rex was never struck by anybody. 1t
would rot have been safe for a
stranger 60 strike him, and rs for the
family, they would never have for
given themselves for doing such a
thing, even if Rex himself had over
looked the indignity in time.
But ucighboys do not like to have
their pet, worried, even if the pets are
mere cats and the worrying is done by

they complained, and then papa or

them than to have to buy them.
After the trick Of egg eating is once
learned by n hen, she very likely will

The treatment for the prevention OF

Hens will eat eggs whenever broken

is natural for them to eat anything that

them TO eat. To stop t-'m from eat
