NAPOLEON AND KUROPATKIN.

Had Napoleon himself been in
Kuropatkin's place, and with the
mentality a Russian military train
ing gives, he could not have done
better. once Napoleon won the bat
tie of Marengo he had an absolutely
free hand. He came at a seething
time, when traditions had ceased to
bind and the logic of facts and events
appeared in staring, striking nudity.
1t was next to impossible on the
French side to go wrong, with the
finger-posts of facts before all eyes.
The advantages of the japanese
are similar to those of Napoleon.
They do not drink and are pitted
against hard drinkers; have the driv-
ing force of enthusiasm on their side,
enthusiasm for their ancient country
and their new institutions. for their
national independence and their per-
sonal freedom. The Russians had
been talking from the time they
completed the railway to Port Ar
thur of taking as sureties for the
good behavior of Japan the island of
Hokaido. commanding the Sangar
straits in the northwest, and of Kyu
shu in the south the nursery of great
warriors seamen and artists. What
is more, they meant what they said.
The Japanese know all that Harry de
Windt could tell them about politi-
cal exiles in Siberia. There is hard
| ly leading general or admiral on the
japanese side who is not a Kyushu
man. Imagine Togo, Oyama, Kuro-
XII, Oku. Kamimura, Nogi, NodZu and
some of the ablest statesmen, who are
Kyushu men, being technically Rus
slams, declared dangerous by the St.
Petersburg police and good for trans
portation to the Siberian mines.
Each one of these now illustrious
men knew what the Russian talk
meant They have been fighting like
heroes for a point of honor that Rus
SLAMS could not understand, and with
desperation, to break the bears paw
before that animal could put it down
on their sunlit island.-London

JUSTICE FOR JAPAN.

The czar's advisers remember that
once upon a time when Japan had
China whipped the great Christian
powers stepped in and robbed her of
the fruits of victory. each taking
slice of China, though, Port Arthur
and Manchuria falling to Russia, and
now that Japan has whipped Russia
the latter would continue the conflict,
hoping that her allies in partition of
the fruits of Japan's formef victory
will intercede for her. This is fu-
tile hope. The Japan of today, flush
ed with victory, is not the Japan of
1894. She has made such good use of
the intervening years, that should
either of Russia's co-partners in the
steal insist that she should not re-
tain the prize for the second time, the
| demand would only be enforced by
war. And after the showing made by
the Island Kingdom no power is like
ly to test conclusions with her except
through direct ecesslty.-Exchange.

sACAJAwEA's PEOPLE.

Strange that the family and rela-
tions of Sacajawea, Lewis and Clark's
Indian girl guide. should utterly dis
appear from the earth in the course
of a century.
Although search has been made
among all the tribes along the route
of the great march across the conti-
nent, yet not one person can be found
who can be safely called a descend
ant of that wonderful woman, with
out whose aid the Lewis and Clark
expedition must have ended in disas-
ter and failure.
At Settings store, in Dewey county,
Oklahoma, is French family OF
Chabaneaus, from Prairie du Chem,
Wis, evidently possessing a strain OF
Indian blood, but from what ances-
tor they get 1t, or from where they
take the name, they are totally in
the dark. They are Canadians, but
have kept no family history and sc
the name Chabaneau is the only evil
dence that they may be remotely re-
lated to this benefactor of the United
States government, Sacajawea, whose
husbands name was Chabaneau.

FLEEING FROM THE LIGHT.

As the course of justice and law
overtakes the members of the beef
trust, those honorable gentlemen"
flee to Europe to escape the humilia-
ton of being brought into court.
When it becomes necessary to bring
their wives into court to prove that
the refugee husbands are out of the
United States, the court permits these
wives of rascals to come in veiled
deeply and with features hidden to
ward off the gaze of the vulgar
people.
The flight of these legalized thieves
from justice reminds one of the sour
rying of an army of bats when their
dark cave is entered by one bearing
torch. Is there any further need
of proof that they are in an illegiti-
mate business, than their own refusal
to submit to a hearing at court?
Train robbers flee from justice
after their crime is committed. Horse
thieves do not tarry where the law
can reach them. Burglars seek tc
conceal their hiding place and now
the trusts are initiating the example
of their fellows in crime.

But the empire which she unlock

ouARRELED 5000 TIMES.

John Madgett and his wife have
quarreled 51l0 times, and they are
proud of it. They are in the prime
of middle life. and admit that they
may quarrel 511O times more before
death parts them.
Madgett and his wife were married
in Germany IA years ago last New
Years day, and six years ago emf
grated to this country. settling on a
farm near Augusta, Ga. They quar-
relied on the day they sailed for
America. All their week days, all
their Sundays, all their holidays have
been marked by quarrels.
John Madgett is a methodical man,
and for IA years he has kept daily
record of the quarrels he has had with
his "hausefrau." The book, with its
old-fashioned blue paper leaves, is a
curiosity, probably without an equal
in the United States.
A friend who has made a careful
study of John Madgetts "book of
quarrels," has compiled the following
tabulated statement, showing the ex-
tent, variety and nature of the dis
putes of the house of Madgett:

ing incidents Of his trip both to his
wife and Telly, and, feeling obliged to
do so, had told them that Mr.. Page had
taken charge of the case and would
communicate with him when anything
definite was learned. Telly had seem
ed unusually cheerful ever since, and
more affectionate, and had at once set
about painting the two sketches Albert
had sent.
1.-The leaves Is turnin' purity fast"
he said to her that day, "an' I thought
mebbe ye'd like ter go with me an take
a look at 'em. They won't last long,"
When the two had logged along in
almost silence for a few miles Uncle
Terry said, pointing to a small rock by
the roadside, ''Thar's whar / fust found
Mr.. Page, Telly."
He watched her face closely as he
spoke and noted the look Of interest
that came.

ckuckling, that lawyers was mostly
all thieves, an the fact that he didn't
take it amiss went fur to convince me
he was an exception. It's a hit bird

an the way he behaves I'm thinkin'
more an more o. him the better I know
him, an / believe him now to be as

Uncle Terry was silent a few mo-
nents while he ficked at the daisies
with his whip as they rode along.
"Ye've had a couple o. letters from
him sense he went back, hain't YET" he
asked finally. II noticed they was In
his writin'." He saw a faint color
come to her cheeks.
Eyes, he wrote me he was finishing
a couple of sketches he made here, and
wanted to have me paint them for him.
They are the mes l am working on
now
That's all right, Telly," continued
Uncle Terry briskly. I'm glad ye're
dom it fer him. fer he's dom a good
deal fer u.s."
Nothing further was said on the sub
iect until they were on their way back
to Alice-she saw herself and her pos
sible future as it seemed to be. Every
word of her lovers letter had been an
emissary Of both joy and sorrow-joy
that he was so devoted to her and sor-
row because she felt that an impassa-
BILE barrier separated them. HE will

but every song that came to her lips
carried the same refrain and told only
of hungry hearts and unanswered love.
And last, and worst of all, almost In
sensibly her fingers strayed to the
chords of one well remembered >ong.
One verse only she sang, and when the
last pathetic line was ended she arose
and, going to her aunt and kneeling,
bowed her head in that good old souls
lap and burst into tears. 1t did not last
long, however, and when the storm
was over she arose and said:

Life with Alice was at best a lone

BITTER FIGHT en- HOGAN.
Serious Charges Said to Have Been
Made Against Iliinoisan.

Serious Charges Said to Have Been
Made Against lllinoisan.
Washington, Jan. "a story Is
current in Washington last night that
serious charges have been filed with
President Roosevelt against Major
Daniel Hogan, who has been recon-
mended for appointment as collector of
internal revenue for tile southern dis
trict of Illinois. Thu nature of the
charges can not be ascerrained, be-
cause the presidents secretary de-
clines to say anything about them.
Neither Senator Hopkins nor Senator
Cullom has been cor suited about the
matter.
Major Hogan's case has been in the
presidents hands TO- upward of
week, having been submitted by Sena-
tor Hopkins shortly liter the senator's
return from Chicago. His Endorsements
are of q character which, under or
binary conditions, would appeal very
strongly to President Roosevelt. On
the other hand, the majors enemies in
southern Illinois are lighting him with
q bitterness and melignity that have
seldom been surpassed even In quar-
rels over federal offices in southern
states.
Senator Hopkins has taken steps
to influence the presidnet's judgment
since his original interview with the
president about Major Hogan's case.
He says that he is willing to leave
the matter to president and feels as
sured that Major Hogan will be APP
pointed
