Pigeons Mate for Life.

Monogomists always, pigeons have
given centuries of proof of their alb
solute fidelity to their marriage VOWS.
The task of the breeder and trainer
has been facilitated by the fact that
pigeon matings were for life 1t has
been found that pigeons in captivity,
even in the artificial atmosphere OF
one loft occupied by gay newcomers
of all varieties, when once they have
been married can be relied upon to
stay together unless forcibly separat-
ed, and then return if ever set at
liberty. Some birds have even cooed
their silver wedding song, as there are
substantiated cases of pigeons who
have lived together for twenty-five
years.

Eatinu "HumbIe Pie"

There is a queer twist OF language
in the phrase ITO eat humble pie"
The word humble" is corrupted
form of the original humble" which
is an inedible part of the carcass of a
deer and would make very poor pie.
The words humble pie" have the
same original meaning as ITO eat
crow a phrase common in political
life. There is an enforced humility
in this process and the change from
"numble' to humble" introduced a
thought which harmonized with the
idea sought to be expressed. The last
form of the phrase has entirely sup.
planted the original.

DENOUNCED AS TRAITORS.
Sentiment of Mormons Toward Those
Who Have Testified About the En-
dOWnaent House Ceremonies.

Washington, January 17.-Attorneys
for senator Smoot today put on the
stand witnesses to discredit the testi-
mony of the three witnesses for the
protestants who gave what they alleged
to be the oaths taken by Mormons who
go through the temples and take the
endowment ceremony of the Norman
church.
Richard w. Young of Salt Lake said
the sentiment of Mormons is distinctly
hostile to polygamy. He said there is
no teaching of polygamy, and has been
none since the manifesto was issued.
On cross examination Mr.. Young said
he believed that the manifesto was in
spired and that while there are people
In the church who have not accepted the
doctrine of revelations, the overwhel-
ming majority believed that the reve-
lation in relation to celestial marriage
was inspired.
Mr.. Tayler called attention to a dis
patch from Eureka, Utah. to the effect
that at a meeting Sunday night Bishop
Daniel Connolly denounced those who
Il GU HUI lIICA1% o1AA4t ~
Washington as traitors and said ne had
known traitors to be shot
Mr.. Young did not approve the refer
ence to the shooting OF traitors, but
said he thought that otherwise the bEsh-
op had expressed the sentiment Of Nor
mon people toward those who had tes-
titled in the Smoot investigation con-
corning the endowment house ceremo-
nies.N He aid Mormans abhorred trail
tors, and said a man who Gould violate
his oath before a justice of the peace
would violate his oath OF the church
He could make no distinction. Mr..
Young declined TO answer any questions
regarding endowment house oath.
SOther witnesses testified that August
LuRdstrom who described the 1dow-
ment house ceremony could not be be-
1ieved under oath. Testimony was
given tending to discredit Other w.7egs-
es for the protestants. The hearing viii

REPLY To RUSSIAN CHARGES.
CHINA WILL DENY ANY VIOLA
TION OF NEUTRALITY.
Ii is Believed that the Defense of the
Chinese Government Has Already
Bee Prepared-Certain Cardinal
Principles of International Law
Called to the Attention of the Rus
sian Government by Secretary Hay.

Washington. January 1.-THE note Of
Secretary Hay relative to the Russian
charge Of violation by China Of the laws
of neutrality, which is to be presented
to the Pekin authorities by Mr.. Coolidge
h secretary Of the American legation
at Pekin, will, it is expected, be rather
welcome by the Chinese government as
affording it a proper opportunity to
make formal reply to- the Russian
charges. 1t is further believed that
the Chinese government has practical
~ prepared its defense. This will
amount to a sweeping denial Of the
accuracy of the Russian charges upon
many points, and a declaration that
where the Russian statements are
founded on facts, they don't constitute
Violation Of the laws of neutrality as
accepted by the powers. :
Touching the Ryschitellni Incident it
will be alleged shat no facts nave been
adduced to show that the Chinese u
thorities had warning Of the Japanese
intention, so consequently she could not
be accused of wilful neglect to take
necessary precautions to protect the
Russian craft from seizure.
Touching the charges that many Chi
nese are serving in the Japanese army
for pay it is believed that the Chinese
government, after questioning h truth
of the allegation and pointing to the
failure Of the Russians to find Chinese
among the Japanese killed in battle Will
raise the point that even if such Chi
nese did serve as japanese soldiers.
such fact itself does not constitute a
violation Of international law respec--
ing neutrality.
The other charges in the Russian
complaint, namely the employment Of
Japanese officers to drill Chinese troops
in modern tactics will it is believed.
also be declared to be within the rights
of any power and not a violation Of the
rules of neutrality.
The japanese government has been
Informed OF the Russian complaint ard
it is stated here that it is preparing a
complete and categorical denial Of the
Russian charges. Besides this denial il
is understood the note will make sharp
m upon alleged violations in
connection with the extension Of Rus
sian vessels, which were being shotly
pursued by the Japanese. of right Of
asylum in neutral ports.
Secretary Hay had addressed a note 10
the Russian ambassador here ackncWl-
edging the receipt Of the Russian COM
plant of violation of neutrality by Chi
IA. The secretary awaited himself o.
the opportunity to call the attention
of the Russian government to certain
cardinal principles of International law.
relative to neutrality, which seemed 20
apply to the present case. 1t is believ-
ed that he particularly directed atten-
tion to the formidable difficulties sure
to be encountered by a neutral power
near the theatre of war in its efforts
to carry oAt Is obligations of neutral
ity.
