Port Arthur, whose hills for months
have run red with the blood of the
bravest of two warlike nations, has at
last succumbed to the fierce tenaclty
of the Japanese attacks.
General Stoessel, most stubborn In
carrying out the will of his sovereign,
has seen the advance of the besieglng
army gain in momentum and energy
until to hold out longer would have
been a crime against humanity.
The conditions of the surrender are
not yet known, but in all quarters 1t IS
anticipated that they are such as an
honorable soldier may accept from
brave and victorious enemy.
At 9:45 o'clock last night the COM
missioners completed the signing of the
capitulation agreement. Both armies
had suspended hostilities five hours
earlier. The city of Port Arthur will
be occupied by the Japanese today.
Toxic is the scene of rejoicing, peo-
pie of all ranks finding in the outcome
compensation for all the sacrifice of
| life1an money that was entailed in the
tens months siege.

thur Will make for a restoration of
peace is an open question. There is an
encouraging note in the expression by
Baron Hayashi, Japanese minister to
London of the "hope that in some way

The spirit of the Russians may be
judged by the statement of the secre-
tary of the embassy at London that the
campaign will be renewed with fresh
vigor in the spring, and that the nation
will not be content to permit Port Ar
thur to remain in thA hands of the
Japanese.
Both in Paris and in London the
opinion is that the squadron under

started from Libau for the far east
three months ago will have to retrace
its way home, as adherence to the orig

Motorman at His Post


e. M. Potter, motorman of the
Chutes car, was also severely injured
by the collision. He staid at his post,
making every effort to bring his car
TO standstill until the crash came,
and was found beneath the crushed
platform of his car. He sustained
many cuts and bruises with possibly
internal injuries.
After being attended by DR.. Nc
Naught. he was taken to his home,
226 East Twenty-seventh street, in
Pierce's ambulance.
The collision occurred yesterday af-
ternoon at about the time of the first
race. Because of the crowds on the
way to Pasadena, the traffic to the
race track was not as heavy as usual.
A south-bound San Pedro car was
speeding toward the park, but slowed
down at the corner of Fifty-fourth
street. About half a block in the rear
of the San Pedro car, Chutes Park
car was following with a crowd of
race horse men.
According to the statements of the
passengers, many of whom were
thrown about and slightly scratched
and bruised, the collision was the re-
suit of the brake on the Chutes car
failing to work.
The motorman worked desperately
to bring his car to a stop as it neared
the rear platform OF the heavier car,
but the brake did not work, and the
light excursion car crashed into the
San Pedro car and was wrecked
The splinterlng of the rear platform
was the only damage to the heavier
car, while the front platform and
seats of the smaller car were splin-
tered and crushed.

THE HoMEMAKER.

The home woman is the indispen-
sable woman. 1t has been wisely
said that we could do without the wo-
men who have made careers for them.
selves in all other directions, but
without the home woman, we should
have to shut up shop at once. The
homemaker is the absolute, necessary
element, the woman the world cannot
do without.
It is therefore pity that the home
woman allows herself so often to fail
of her full development and reward.
She is apt to be so unsel6sh and so
conscientious that she lets the four
walls of home narrow about her. The
household woman, as she is called,
does not get enough exercise every
day, nor does she breathe enough OF
the outside air of thought and action
to refresh her spirit. The simplest
remedy is that of at least one outside
interest. The woman who takes up
one hobby, one charity, one line of
work, beyond her household cares
and follows it steadily will find that
it brings freshness and power with it.
The study of the same special art,
together with the collection of old
china, reading up special subject,
making a garden-any one OF these
if pursued thoroughly will bring her
in touch with others and open vast
vistas of interest unendingly. And
the woman with hobby grows old
SO slowly that she often never grows
old at all, but keeps to the last that
freshness of interest which is the
mark of youth.

HOW TO LIVE CHEAPLY.

One of the subjects written about
great deal at the present time is how
to live cheaply. Prices of all the
greater staples Of life are high. Rents
are enormous. Fashions are exact
ing. Wants multiply, while resour-
ces diminish. How to make strap
and buckle meet is the problem which
presses on hundreds of housekeepers.
1t is what is done to keep up ap-
pearances that destroys the equilibri-
um between outgo and income, and
makes life a drudgery aud vexa-
tion. How to live cheaply it ques-
tion easy enough to answer if one
will be content with cheap living.
Substitute comfort for show. Put
convenience in the place of fashion.
Study simplicity. Refuse to be be-
guiled in style of living above what
is required by your position in society
and is justified by you resources
Set a fashion of simplicity, neatness
prudence and inexpensiveness, which
others will be glad to follow, and
thank you for introducing. Infuse
dignity, sincerity, kindness, virtue,
and love into your simple and mex
pensive home, and its members will
never miss the costly fripperies and
snowy adornments. and they will be
happier in the cozy and comfortable
apartments than most of their splen-
did establishment. 1t does not fol-
low that in order to live cheaply one
must live mesnly. The best comforts
of life are not costly. Taste, refine
ment, good cheer, wit, and even ele-
gance are not expensive.

WORK SHOULD NOT BE DRuDGERY.

Do not scorn your present tasks,
but master the way of doing them
perfectly. The advice is good, but
we doubt if that woman takes. The
woman thinks herself fitted 'for bet
ter things and yet places herself
where she must have the daily cares of
housekeeping has comitted grave
mistake, and the chances are that
she is past all remedies. If she be-
lieves there are any ''better things"
than the making of a true home she
can't be cured. If she has undertak-
en- on her own responsibility to do
work which she considers ''drudgery"
all the advice ever printed will be of
no effect in her case. Just why a wo-
man will let herself get into the habit
of thinking her work is drudgery is
one of the mysteries past explaining.
There's no work in the world that
doesn't have something of daily rou-
tine and of repetition which may be
considered monotonous if the worker
is SO disposed to look at the matter.
But the average worker who achieves
success thinks nothing of the daily
routine other than to attend to each
detail with care and precision. The
continued complaining, the continual
wishing for other things is not one
of the elements from which success in
any line of work may be achieved.
If the housekeeping gave the same
amount of time to planning her work,
to the study of new methods and time
saving devices, she would soon get
her work systemized so that she
wouldn't need to complain. If she
isn't satisfied with her work, she'd
better consider how to do it in sat-
isfactory manner.

IMPROVING HORSES.

The high-grade horse, bringing the
best price, is scarce article on the
farm. IF the buyer wants saIable
drafter, fancy roadster or stylish
saddler, he is compelled to look over
a large territory to find one. The
vast majority of horses grown on the
farms go into the inferior grades when
sent to market. The supply in their
class is greater than the demand hence
the farmer gets medium or low prices
for his horses,
Farmers do not give enough con-
sideration to the breeding of horses.
The additional spring work of crop
ping compels many farmers to keep
extra teams to assist in this rushing
work. These teams that work only
through the crop season might just
as we'll be brood mares. They could
raise colt and do the work required
of them during the summer months.
A definite plan of straight line
breeding is necessary to develop a
salable horse, one that has marks of
a well-bred animal No stylish trot-
ter can be the offspring of the mon
grels Of the farm. Just because a
small horse has the gait of large,
heavy drafter, it is no indication that
he will bring the high prices COM
manded by the heavy draft horses.
He has none OF their high-priced
qualities. The breeding must be
along definite lines. If it is to the
farmers fancy to breed draft horses,
let him select as nearly as possible,
mares having the characteristics of
the particular draft breed that he
fancies.
In the process of breeding up to
high-grade animals, the changing of
breeds is, as a rule, detrimental. All
breeds live because they have desir-
able qualities peculiarly their own.
To cross them with other breeds is to
lose these desirable qualities. To
change the breed of the sire in pro-
ducing high-grade animals is back
ward step. A horse having
in him the blood of Kentucky trot-
ter, housekeeping coach or Perche-
ron, does not entitle him TO a
high class in the city markets. The
good blood in him must count for
something, and only by straight-line
breeding can it be made to count.
Stock companies organized for the
improvement of live stock are not only
commendable, but are of great value
to a locality if their business is prop
erly conducted. If they organize
with definite aim in veiw, if they
know what they want and will get
it at the market price, sharing alike,
they will be doing noble work.
But they must not wait for an agent
to come and organize them to buy
horse the agent has to sell. One
time they may buy coach and fol-
low him with a Percheron. Stock
companies should be leaders in the
breeding businessmen who are fa-
miliar with the principles of breeding
and who know the evil effects of vio-
lating the underlying principles. Let
the farmers select the breed they like,
stick to it from generation to genera
ton and they will surely get horse
the market demands B. Andey-
son.

COURTESY PAYS EVEN WITH A STRAIGHT
FLUSH.

II found out the other night that
courtesy pays, even in poker game, !"
said a Uuited States Senator from one
of the Southern States. II had a
party of gentlemen at my house for a
social game and long toward the
shank Of the evenin' there came right
smart jackpot.
81 dealt the cards and the man next
to me openin' it, squeezed out the
only straight flush ever held in my
life from the seven to the jack of clubs.
OF course every man O. the six that
were playin' traild along and when it
got round to me just naturally raised
it the limit, which by the way, was
very small.
Everybody stood the rise and all
hands drew three cards but me and
the bank clerk, young fellow who
didn't know much about the game, as
the sequel will show. The opener
bet white chip, and the bank clerk,
who sat two seats away from him,
h'isted it the limit.
"I saw that he had drawn two
cards and figured it out that he had
fours. In fact, / had no right to
count on anything else, seeing the
play he'd made, and / felt in my
bones that I had him skinned to
death.
"Then l did the courteous thing
and says to him, Young man I've
got you licked to a standstill, but
bein' as I'm the host of the evenin'
and bein' as I'm slightly ahead ofthe
game. I'm just goin' to call you.
I'm darn sorry you're so polite,
says. he. I've got the best hand 1
ever had in my life,' and with that he
threw down the king, queen, jack
ten and nine of diamonds.
"The darn fool" continued the
Senator, chad broke pair of queens
and held up the king, queen and ten
of diamonds, pullin' in the nine and
jack, and he had done it before he
saw that 1 was standin' pat. hav-
ing the last draw, showin', as / said
before that he didn't know much
about the game. But my courtesy
saved my life and / only lost about a
dollar on the hand"

"Bob," she said, with all that per-
ilous youth shining in her eyes,
"have you forgotten that toe dance
yon taught me years 7" No, with
weary resignation, he had not forgot
ten it.
"Bob," with cruel persistence,
when you told me that night that
you had rather stay with me than go
to with the old ladies, did you mean
it truly?"
Yes, he was sure he meant it truly.
The cafe was deserted. Only Fran
co.'s, the waiter, lurked in the back
ground, and he couldn't speak Eng
lish.
"Bob," moving nearer and laying
a con6ding hand on his arm. ''Bob,
does your love lie too deep for words 7"
There was pleading quality in her
tones not to be resisted.
"Child," he was holding her chin
in his most comforting hand and
examining her eyes.
"When Jack Travers asked me-"
she comforted, patting Bob's old gray
hairs tende.ly-Francois had dis
creetly withdrawn, fully remunerat-
ed-"I told him about-about how
/ loved you-I-I-I told him all
about us, Bob" But she didn't fin
ish. He understood. Bob always
understood.
"Child," he whispered, with eyes
in which youth had come home to
live, you must be the Oldest person
on earth ! You are straight from the
Garden of Eden-with youth that is
fresh and genuine and eternal Yes
you are, child !''-Camb6eH Mcleod.
