The Russian Conscience.

In Carl Joubert's Russia as 1t Real
ly Is" the author gives the following
anecdotes: "A Jewish peddler OF
Grodno dealt in pirrogs (meat pies),
and two hungry muzhiks travelling In
the third-class railroad car with him
were so overpowered by the appetiz'
ing odor of his wares that. not having
money to buy them, they slew the
Jew without further ado and threw
the body out of the window. They
we're apprehendeG and to the astonish-
ment Of the pristav (police sergeanD
the whole supply of pies was found
intact Why did you not eat The pir-
rogs and throw the basket away?'
asked the pristav You forget said
one of the muzhiks, that to-day is Fri

WARLIKE.
THE RUSSIAN PRESS PREFERS
WAR TO HUMILIATION.

The tone of the Russian press
grows more warlike as the peace con
ference draws nigh and the govern
ment on all sides Is urged 10 resist
humiliating demands even at the cost
Of continuing the war. Peace on the
Japanese terms as outlined by Mr.. Sa-
to-" says the Russ. which is the first
paper to comment seriously on the
Sato interviews, can only be an ar
mistice." The Russ, which has now
the largest liberal following, finds the
Japanese demands far from moderate
and sees little chance OF the confer
ence ending successfully, II Mr.. Sato
has correctly stated the Japanese po-
sition. but 1t appears to believe that
Baron Komura's spokesman is acting
ION his own responsibility, or scents
a possible bluff to pave the way for
the acceptance of actual and more
moderate terms by Japan.

ing dispatch has been received from
the Japanese army headquarters:
"Our independent cavalry which en-
tered Rykoff Ton Shakalin island, As
miles northeast of Port Due), July %,

Eaten by a Shark.

Sutton Davis, a boy OF 16, while
wading and playing in the water at
Davis shore, 10 miles east of Beaufort,
S. c., was attacked and eaten by a
very large shark.
Davis and others were waist deep
in the water greatly enjoying them
selves. The approach of the shark was
not noticed 1t threw the boy in the
air, caught him in its mouth as he
struck the water, pulled him under
and disappeared into the deep water.
Davis's companions were too horror
stricken to do anything. even If they
had had any weapons, which they did
not. Thorough search has been made,
but not a particle of the unfortunate
lads body has been found.

of them would acknowledge that they

Me TOO
The "Tail Enders" That Follow Gen
une Articles.


1t is sometimes interesting to watch
the curves imitators make to get the
public TO buy limitations of genuine
goods.
Every now and then some one will
think there is a splendid opening to
fix up something like Postum Coffee
and advertise the same way and take
some of the business.
An imitator is naturally ignorant of
food values and how to skillfully
make cereal coffee, on scientific
lines.
Such men first think of preparing
something that looks and tastes like
the original, with no knowledge OF
how the grains should be treated to
prepare them so that the starchy part
is transformed properly and the val
liable nourishing elements made d.
gestible.
Such limitations may be foisted on
the public for short time, but the
people are critical and soon detect the
attempt, then the imitators go out of
business.

thus reconstruct the nervous system
broken down by coffee, can rely on
Postum.
