THEY SPANK THE BABIES.
When the Little Ones Fall Into the
Canals in Holland That
Is the Cure.

The Dutch peasant lives with
canals all about him, and reaches
his cottage by way of draw
bridge. Perhaps it is in the blood
of the Dutch child, says writer in
London NJ. A. p, not to fall into "A
canal. At all events the Dutch
mother never appears to antici-
pate such a possibility.
One can imagine the average
English or American mother try
ing to bring up family in a house
surrounded by canals. She would
never have a moments peace until
the children were in bed. But then
the mere sight of canal to the
English child suggests the delight
of sudden and unexpected bath.
An Englishman inquired of u
Dutch woman: Does a Dutch
child ever by any chance fall into
a canal?
"Yes," she replied, cases have
been known
"DOn't you do anything for it?'
continued the questiOner.
"Oh, yes" she answered. 1--WE
haul them out again"
"But what mean is" explained
the Englishman, don't YOU do
anything to prevent their falling
in? To save them from falling in
again?'
Yes" she answered, 1--WE spank
them"

PAUL JUDSON
Baptist Argus Has Started a New
Kentucky Story.

The Baptist Argus the first week
in November began the publication
of new Kentucky story dealing
with mountain life. 1t is called
Paul Judson." The author, Dr.. f.
B. Pollard, is pastor of the George
town Baptist church and occupies a
chair in the Georgetown College.
For several years he was professor
of Biblical literature in Columbian
University. The story will run six
months. The scene is laid in the
Kentucky mountains and is largely
history. 1t is Of course a religious
story and one of the crises in the
life of the hero is in deciding wheth-
er to be a preacher or to fight for a
larger life and a more brilliant ca
reer in another calling.
The Argus paid big price for the
story.
This paper, edited by DR.. j. N.
Prestridge, is now one of the leading
church papers Of the South and its
latest venture should bring in many
new subscribers.

WHEN AN Hem IS BORN.
In China an Elaborate Ceremony
Usually Follows the Great
Event.

On the evening of the first day
after the baby has arrived the
paterfamilias, according to the
Chinese custom, prOstrates him
self before a joss, and, touching
his head to the door, voices thanks
to the gods and to the honorable
ancestors for the small son who
was sent perfect of body and full
of health.
On the evening Of the second
day the ceremony is repeated, and
on the third day the voice Of the
wife joins that of the husband in
Thanksgiving. Also on the third
day limited number of relatives
and friends are called in to wit
ness the first head-shave. The
rooms of the home are decorated
for the occasion with green
branches of either fir, cedar or
spruce, to insure fueng-suey, or
good luck, to the house.
Other OrnamentatiOns in honor
Of the baby are long silk threads,
bearing little circles, squares and
hearts of gold and scarlet paper.
These are festoOned from the
walls and are hung from the cell
ing.
A few feet away the threads are
invisible and the gay scraps OF
paper appear to be floating in the
air. For the head shaving the
guests are seated in a semi-circle
before the joss. The mother is car
ried to seat of honor to the right
iOf the joss, and the baby,
iswathed in yards of scarlet and
purple silk, is brought in on an
elaborate pillow.

WILSON WINS
Contest In the Bowling Green
rIayOraIty Contest.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 20. The
Judgment of the Warren Circuit
Court in the case of Z. l.. Motley
against Geo. T. Wilson, involving the
mayoralty of the city of Bowling
Green, was affirmed by the Court of
Appeals. Judge Hobson delivered
the opinion Of the court.
The election was held on Novem-
Der 3, 1903, Motley, the Republican
candidate receiving 855 votes, and
Wilson, the Democratic candidate,
receivingt880 votes on the face of
the returns. Motley contested, and
the lower court dismissed his petit
ton.
The only ground Of complaint
which the court here deemed worthy
of notice on the appeal, was the
charge that Wilson entered into a
conspiracy with five persons to Sc
cure for him the certificate of cleo
ton regardless of the number of
votes cast" The ballots were not
offered in evidence. The court in. re
Spouse to the conspiracy" charge
says the fact that two Democrats
were appointed election officers to
take the place of others who could
not serve, without notice to the
Republican members Of the. board,
is not sufficient to invalidate the
election.
The court further says that Mott
ley does not show that a fraud was
practiced against him, only showing
that it might have been practiced,
and there is nothing in the record
to connect Mayor Wilson in any way
with fraud or alleged fraud.

RuSSlA'S COMPLAINT

Much complaint has been MADE u
Russia about Americans being un.
friendly to the Russians in eastern
Asia. They do not stop to CONSIDER
that Russia was the aggressor In I'M
friendly acts and did all she couid 10
provoke American feeling against hes.
This began in the repeated and den-
ant violations of her promise TO US 70
evacuate Manchuria. Her stay there
is the cause of the present war;, IN
which American commercial interests
are likely to suffer. After the war
began Russia ~slandered our navy by
widely publishing that the offlce.s OF
the Vicksburg refused or neglected 10
come to the rescue of the crew of the
variag when she was sinking. Cap
tain Marshall of the Vicksburg reports
that he sent his two cutters and a
whaleboat to rescue the Russians and
that two Russian officers of the Varias
we. saved and given quarters aboard
his ship. In st. Petersburg it may
seem a light thing to charge
ity under such circumstances. but III
this country 1t is taken to be ran in
gratitude. and is resented by our navy
and our people.
A late report further illustrates the
Cossack determination to create III.
excuse for the malt. eatment OF such
Anne. leans as may be caught In the
war zone. In the Cossack centers OF
Manchuria the story is told and be-
$3.50 - -. .,axrA,-r atIaI thu
japanese in the bombardment at Port
Arthur. The sodden Cossacks could not
invent such a story, even in the fren-
" of too much vodka. 1t must have
teen told by their officers, who knew
better, in order to incite them to out
8 upon such Anne. leans as might
be within reach. Any man with sense
enough to pull a trigger would know
that such a story was false. But those
ignorant creatures believe 1t. r. II
we had interests enough within their
reach they would no doubt strike them
such q blow as would be a cause oil
war between the two countries. The
Russian officers who u be respon-
sible either for the origin of the false
hood or of failing to make such a de-
NAL of it as would cause It's propaga
ton to cease must be held directly re
sponsible for 1t.
While the policy of provocation is
pursued by Russia Americans are not
unmindfu. of the correct attitude OF
Japan in diplomatic and international
matters. If she wee the oldest mem
Der of the international family in
stead of being among the youngest she
could not more scrupulously keep faith
and observe her international obliga-
lions. There Is no boasting. no swash-
buckling, no Misrepresentation or COM
plant about the attitude of other
countries, no snarling and swapping.
but a steady devotion to the hard duty
the patriotic islanders nav set fof
themselves. The contrast impresses
Americans as it does the thinking peo-
pie of the other western nations. Rus
sin has lone nothing but whimper over
her reverses and tattle about her
neighbors and is likely to end in hav-
Ing no sympathy anywhere. - San
