HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS.
Be Interested In Them, but Never
Show Curiosity.


Show Curiosity.
If you would have friends, be inter-
ested in them.
There is a difference between inter-
est and curiosity. Never be curious.
Interest asks nothing, but is glad
of others joys and sorry for others
misfortunes. Curiosity seeks to find
more than is written upon the surface,
seeks it for the purpose of distribu-
ton, for innocent SANDER.
Ones friends like one to be inter-
ested. They detest one who is curl
Gus.
To be interested in those one meets
needs but to wish them well.
To see the best of those about us
will cause us to wish them well.
To our well-wishers we pour out our
joys and sorrows. They are interest
ed. They understand.
The interested friend always under
stands. The curious acquaintance
never sees through motives. The curl
GUS one is blinded by his own inter
probation of causes and his prejudiced
view of results.
Don't, therefore, seek to know what
is hidden. If your friends conceals
something from you he has reason
for doing it. Prove your interest and
your lack of vulgar curiosity by trust
ing him in spite of the concealment.
Those who are truly interested
and never curious are surrounded by
friends.-Detroit Tribune.

HE WOULD TAKE NO RISKS.
Cowboy Wanted to Have Decent
Chance of Spending His Money.


I'm the West" said Mr.. William
Sturgis, of Cheyenne, Wyo., "the peo-
pie take very slowly to the notion that
government should busy itself in the
endeavor to regulate public morals.
For that reason, although we have
a pretty stiff state anti-gambling law,
the statute is of little potency, and the
boys gather in the old familiar centers
to bet their coin against faro, rou-
lette, hazard or poker.
mot long ago, one of my clients, of
the cowboy tribe, who had deposited
81 600 with me, made a trip to town
and for several days got me to let
him have about 500 per diem. l
thought he was trying his luck at faro
and finally, when he had spent just
half his capital I advised him that
the writing of checks was getting mo-
notonous, and that if he meant to keep
on playing to withdraw the remaining
$500 in lump, so that he need not
bother to hunt for me- At the same
time I advised him in strong terms
to stop then and there and take no
chances in losing the money he had
acquired through months Of patient
toll on the plains. He heard me
through with the utmost patience, TAX
ing no apparent heed of my rebuke
and then said: 81 know what you say
is true, Judge, but supposing I should
die right sudden and get no chance to
spend that other Washington
Post.

Estimated Sacrifice Of 10000 Soldiers
on Each Side.
REPORT FAvoRs THE RUSSIANS,
High Military Authorities Think That
The Critical Stage Has Not Been
Reached and II May Continue for
Some Time Before Defeat is Ac-
knowIedged.

Ot. feteIbDuI6, OCPc q WIN 'AAS
knowledge that the Russian and Jap
anese armies about Lao Yang are
locked in death struggle the tension
in st. Petersburg is strained to the
utmost. 1t is believed here that the
fight cannot stop short of the crush
ing defeat of one side or the other.
All reports, so far are favorable to
the Russians, though the suspension
of all news for many hours has been
exceedingly trying and has given rise
to several rumors somewhat temper
ing the earlier enthusiasm.
It is stated officially, however, that
the report that the railway and tel
egraph have been cut north of Lao
Yang is untrue A member Of the
general staff said:
II can assure you that up to this
hour communication with Lao Yang
has not been interrupted. General
Kuropatkin has been taking particu-
lar precautions against any attempt
to cut the railway. While 1t is al
ways possible that small raiding
party might slip through the Russian
patrols, or that hired Chinese bandits
might cut the telegraph it is fair sup
position, in view of all the facts, that
this has not been done.
The highest military authorities
think that the most critical stage of
the battle has not yet been reached,
and they believe that the fight may be
continued for some time before either
side acknowledges defeat.
1t is thought that in view Of the
numbers engaged, the desperateness
of the assaults and the length of the
line (about seven miles) the losses
in the two days fighting cannot fall
short of 10000 on each side.
Both sides are straining every
nerve, realizing that the fortunes OF
war for whole year are in the scale,
and neither side is in the mood or
the position to spare men in the effort
to achieve a final victory.
The battle of Lao Yang will prob
ably rank as one of the great san
culinary battles of history. 1t is es-
timated by the general staff that the
Japanese armies engaged number II
divisions, of $4,000 men each, or al
lowing for inefficients about 100000
men. Each division has SO guns, and
there are two independent artillery
brigades of 100 men each, making a
total of aboutS0O guns. The estimates
of Russian correspondents range from
six hundred to one thousand guns
per side.
In the preliminary fighting Of Mon
day the Russians captured two hun
bred prisoners, who have already ar
rived at Hardin, and report persists
that they captured over 40 Japanese
guns. General Kuropatkin's effec-
tive forces are variously estimated at
from 100000 to 100000 men.
The Japanese on Wednesday morn
ing attacked three sides of the Rus
sian position One of the Associated
Press correspondents also mentions
O Japanese movement to the north
east of Lao Yang. showing that the
Japanese were undoubtedly trying to
work around Kuropatkin's rear.

BUILDING FOOD.
TO Bring the Babies Around.


When a little human machine Tor
r large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food
which will always bring it around
again.
My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says a Col
orado mother.
Il decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very,
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
when reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although
had never used the food, We got some
al d for few days gave him Just the
Juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
Ia a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong
and well.
''That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is a strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph / send you what a strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
Giape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum

Mechanical Umpire.

Following close on the invention OF
pitching gun to supplant the star
twirler of the diamond, says the New
York Evening Sun, comes news from
Canada for an invention to aid the
umpire in making correct decisions on
plays at first base. This new device,
which has been patented. consists OF
an electric plate attached to the initial
bag, and so arranged as to ring an elec-
tric bell if the first baseman touches
the bag before the runner. On the
other hand, if the batter reaches first
base before it is touched by the base
man, the plate is so adjusted that the
bell will not ring.
Assuming that the device is always
in working order. the umpire may, II
he wishes. turn his back and be sure
of giving an<accurate decision at first.
If the bell rings, the runners out; If 1t
doesn't, he's safe; sounds simple.
Baseball people are now eagerly
awaiting news of the invention of a
batting machine which shall swell the
average of every wielder of the wagon
tongue to the 800 per cent. mark.

Scholar or Athlete.

Statistics would tend to show that
while the chance of the kind of dis
tinction recorded in "Who's Who?' is
about the same for the crew as for the
average of the class and is much great
er for the captains of the crew. it IS
for the football and baseball men far
less than for the average graduate.
Such a result cannot be attributed en-
tirely to the fact that high scholars no
longer play upon the nine or upon the
eleven, for this is equally true OF the
crew. In fact, from 1861 to 1898 no
member of the crew won a BoWdoln
prize or stood in the first seven of his
class. and only one took final honors
in any subject; but the oarsmen proved
ir other ways that they possessed in
as great a degree as the average OF
the class the qualities that make for
distinction. Why should rot this be
true of the baseball and football men
also?-Atlantic Monthly.

A Quick Change.

Walter A. Wyckoff, professor OF So
ciology in Princeton, WAS once travel
ing, disguised as tramp, in search OF
information. While on a railroad train
out West they came to very dark tun-
mel, and one of his fellows asked a
passing train hand how long it would
take 10 reach daylight at the other END.
"Oh, about half an hour" snapped the
man, as he hurried away. The traV-
eler. as DR.. Wyckoff could dimly see,
at once began fumbling with a grip
which he had. In about three minutes
the train shot into daylight once more
and everybody saw that the traveller
had intended to use the thirty minutes
of darkness in changing his shirt.
There he sat, thunderstruck, his coat,
shirt, necktie and collar thrown over
the next seat, as naked from the waist
up as a man about to take a bath.

Why he STAYED.

The chapel of northern fishing VII
lage used to depend for its services on
the occasional help Of the clergy Of the
nearest town. One very wet Sunday
the clergyman who volunteered to DO
the duty drove over in a fly. Tolllng
the chapel bell himself, he announced
his arrival to the natives, but for long
time no one appeared.
At last one solitary person came III
and took seat at the very back OF the
chapel. The clergyman then found his
surplice and conducted the service.
That ended, he remarked to his audi
ence of one that perhaps sermon was
surperfluous.
"Oh please 90 on. SIR was the fat
tering reply, and the clergyman mount
ed the pulpit
In the course Of his address he ex-
pressed the fear that he was wearylng
his hearer, and was gratified to be told
that he could not be too long. The ser
mon, consequently, was heightened out
to some forty minutes.
When it was ended the preacher eX-
pressed a desire to shake hands with
the gentleman who had listened to him
with such evident appreciation. I'M
agine his CONSERVATION at discovering
on a nearer view (for he was some
what short sighted) that he had been
preaching to the driver of his fly, who
was all the while charging overtime

Bond Filled by Olympia Mills.

Bond Filed by olympia m''ls'
The defendants in the suit of Leon
ard Phinizy and Alice Hull, OF Angus
ia. Ca, against the Olympia cotton
mills, filed a bond a few days ago in
the United States circuit court at
Charleston in the sum of $20,S00, the
amount of the holdings of the plain
tiffs in preferred stock of the mill
The filing of the bond and the amount
was in accordance with the decree OF
the court, filed about ten days ago.
When the case came up on hearing
recently the ourt admitted the justice
of the plea of the plaintiffs, who had
bought heavily of preferred stock, fol-
lowing the passage of a resolution by
the board of directors that the com-
pany would not issue bonds, but the
court decided not to put the property
in the hands of a receiver, as the plain
tiffs asked, but allowed the plan OF
reorganization to proceed, the defend
ants being required to give bond for
the protection of the interests of the
plaintiffs.
The order of the court provides Tor
a full and complete hearing OF the
cause which will come up in due time,
and the filing of the bond is only pre-
liminary to this hearing
