BEFORE FAME REACHED HIM.
Letter Written by Great French
Author in Pessmistic Mood.

French author during the years that
he struggled for recognition has been

There was no shadow of envy or jeal-
ousy in his thoughts as he looked into
the face of the companion of his boy
hood. and heard him speak calmly of
millions and of launching them against
the giants of Wall street.

claimed. II see your plan. and its

After repeated conferences every de-

agreed upon, ard James Blake set MS
face towards the East.
He arrived in New York on Friday
evening. Early the following morning
he appeared in Wall street and pre-

He drank deep of the glorious nectar
of victory. The day had dawned when
he could accept honors fairly won.

the master-mind of the campaign.

to profit on the reaction. In week
of furious conflict he had not made a
mistake.
New York threw open her gates as

Representative Hinshaw has received
many letters from his constituents IN

idents OF Nebraska inquiring concern
Ing the lands in the Rosebud Indian
reservation and the provisions Of the
bill which has been introduced in the
house by Mr.. Burke Of South Dakota.
providing for the opening of the lands
to settlement. Mr.. Hinshaw states that
the bill probably will pass both the
house and senate without amendment,
and that IL seems to be the general
opinion among members interested
that the president will give the meas
ure his approval. 1t is believed the
lands will be subject to entry by spring
or early summer. In explaining the
provisions OF the bill now pending in
the house. Mr.. Hinshaw says:
The bill provides for the sale of
1900 acres of land in Gregory coun-
~. South Dakota, at S2.5 per acre. to
be paid as follows: Fifty cents an
acre when entry is made. SO cents with
in Two years after entry, SO cents with
In three years after entry. SO cents
within four years after enty. and the
remaining so cents an acre within six
month after the expiration of five
years from date OF entry.
by paying the full price Of the land
the settler may commute his entry and
receive a patent for the land, as Is pro-
Nided In all homestead entries. These
lands In the Rosebud reservation will
be disposed of under the general pro-
visions Of the homestead and townsite
laws OF the United States and will be
opened to settlement and entry by the
president who will issue a proclama-
ton prescribing the name in which
the lands shall be settled upon and
entered.
Union soldiers and sailors Of the
civil war and Spanish wal will be given
the same preference as Is prescribed in
the general homestead law. and the
pending bill stipulates that sections ]
and SO Of each township shall be cedel
to the state of South Dakota for school
purposes"
The house committee on Indian af-
fairs ordered a favorable report on the
bill to open for settlement 400, 900 acres

Are Kind to Their Horses.

Evidently there is one place where
there is little need OF a society for
the prevention Of cruelty to animals,
and that is Jersey. The farmers there
are so careful OF their horses that
they do not work them nor than IL
absolutely necessary. and frequently
do work which is done elsewhere by
horses.
II a farmer has to pillow a heavy
piece Of ground he is obliged to use
his team, but IL the ground which is
% be broken up is light it is very
probable that he will take the place
ot a horse. F.,
At first glance labor Of this kind
inay seem very irksome, but 1t really
is not, for the farms in Jersey are
small and il does not take long to
cultivate the ground. Still. in other
places where the farms are equally
small. no one thinks OF sparing the
horses, and there is little doubt hat
up-to-date agriculturists consider the
Jersey farmers far behind the times
because in the kindness of their
hearts they are as lenient to their
horses as possible.

STILL HOPING FOR PEACE
II II is War and Russia Wins, She VIII
Control Half the World

In peculiarly frank language Baron
Hayashi, after consultation with the
foreign Office in London, summed up
the situation for the Associated press
as follows:
II only hope the car will give us
peace. but my hopes ar not strong.
IL we go to war 1t will he for issues
wherein both America and England
have insisted automatically. We have
received no pledges from n country
that in the event of defeat IL will step
in and save us from being absorbed by
Russia. We can not count even in en-
tremities on the armed support of any
nation in the world. II would be a
struggle 20 the death. Perhaps we are
not strong enough to fight Russia.
There are two opinions about that
Baron Hayashi minated that he
thought Japan was bound to be beaten
in the end.
IF we were beaten" the minister re-
sumed, Russia would take Korea and
Manchuria by right of conquest and
possibly Japan. No power on earth
could then dislodge her from central
China and all the far east. | am sure
1t Is better to go to war when you
know you are right, even IL defeat Is
possible. than to see your independence
submerged under r continual aggres-
sion that Is bound TO absorb you even
tlally. Nothing can avert war between
Russia and japan in future years, even
II peace Is procured now, so long as
Russia pursues her present far eastern
policy.
"The American action in forcing the
opening OF M%anchurian ports was a
splendid example OF honest diplomacy.
1t was a straightforward step. which
contrasts favorably with Russian
methods. No other nation. except
Great Britain. when the British admir-
atty bought the two Chilean %warships.
has axe any practical steps to live up
to its diplomatic demands upon Russia
anent the far east. We believe we are
now fighting a diplomatic battle in be-
half of America and Great Britain, but
II only war can settle 1t we know we
shall receive assistance from neither.
We are prepared to fight our own bat
ties and take the consequences"
