Fisherman'S S Luck.

Fishing is the quiet and eminently
respectable wing of sports which even
a Bishop can indulge without en-
dangering his dignity and ecclesiasti-
cal standing and probably that is the
reason why Louis H. Eaton, organlst
at Trinity Church, makes coquettlng
with the tittlebat and founder spe-
cial and ever recurring pleasure
Whenever the organist can find the
time he HES himself to Tiburon and
accompanied by veteran boatman,
rows out toward Angel Island and
casts his lines well and temptingly
baited.
For Eaton to return to San Fran
cisco without the sign of a fish would
be tantamount to daubing blurrlns
blot on the family escutcheon.
A local wit, who is also patient
fisherman, met Eaton recently en-
route for San Francisco and in charge
of a bag weighted with the results
of a days sport.
The wit had not caught even sprat'
but it occurred to him that 1t would
be a good joke on his friend were he
to change bags, and while Eaton was
glancing over the latest news Of an
other Kuroki victory over Kuropat-
kin the bags were changed. A lit
tie later Eaton, putting aside his
paper, remarked that the Russians

IAPAN'S POLICY.

R. CUNLIFF- OWEN publishes in Munsey's
I'M somewhat hysterical appeal to the Christian
world against Japan in view of "the yellow. peril
which will follow the defeat OF Russia in the
struggle The writer says that f Japan is successful
she will rot repeat the mistake which she made the
conclusion of with China when she permitted the
European powers to rob her of the fruits of her victory
She may take advantage of the popular
in her behalf throughout Asia carry matters
with high hand"
This naive confession that Japan robbed, she
was, and that being put notice she will not be
robbed aga IN, does impress Mr. CuniffOwen
that the best way any yellow peril, real or
fanced, will be by dealing justly with the Asiatcs. The
United States has dealt justly with japan and the result

What peril is there in it? The Western world pretended
that for that purpose that broke by force the
seclusion of China
Mr. Cunlif- Owens final appeal against Japan is based
upon his statement that education has entirely de-
sroyed the belief of the people the supernatural quality
of the Mkado If he will go little into Russia he will
find millions of the vodka soaked and soddeny ignorant
people firmly believing in the supernatural powers OF the
Great Gar Indeed if superstition to be the test the

LOVE UNCHANGING.

Yesterday, to-day, tomorrow.
All one, since my heart knows
Steddfast, in all JOY or sorrow.
Changeless love beside me goes.
Steadfast, though my mood be changefui
AS the sea cloud shadows sweep;
Steadfast Is this love unChanging
As the stars that night skies keep.
Suns may sink In storm clouds dreary,
Suns may set with golden skies:
Days may restful be weary
Meet the nights when daylight dies;
Those beside me fall or falter.
Friends prove false. time drag or fly.
Blossoms turn to fruit OF flower.
Seedtimes pass and summers die;
Youth may wane, and old age creeping
Come to break or change old ties
Still its pristine glory keeping,
Lives this love that never dies.
Youth, or age, or JOY. or sorrow,
Storm, or sunshine-all are one.
Since I know for me Unchangtng
Lives this love. till life is done.
