offered to pass him the ticket. 1 never

Then the two passed out to the lawn
to witness the race, for the horses
were on their way to the post, and all
of the friends of Lucky narvelled to
see him walking and chummily con-
versing with one of the best known
touts in the United States.
Emperor of Norfolk got away on his
toes and when he came down to the
wire, alone at the finish, he was onty
lolling in his boys lap.

Lucky wandered up the lawn ana
as he walked. BY the time Stubs got
the ticket cashed and reached the bar,
there was something doing in that in
closure.
About forty of Lucky's friends who
had gone to the Emperor of Norfolk
on his advice, had formed a Gordon
around the old man, and they were
dancing a hilarious ring around rosy
with him in the middle.

SAGE SENTENCES.

Man proposes. but after that the
woman takes charge.
Forming good character is better
than reforming a bad one.
The man who gives a trifie meanly
is always meaner than the trifie.
Not a few men love their sweet
hearts in silk. and their wives in
calico.
Time and tide wait for no man, but
they know better than to ask wom-
an to hurry.
Money makes the mare go, and
sometimes proves, in consequence, that
she is spawned and has the spring
halt.
When you hear a man say: This is
my honest opinion" does it not make
you wonder how many dishonest opin-
ions he has?
More opportunities are wasted
through the wrong people Selling
them, than through the right people
negiecting them.

THE PRrS0EERS.


 The difference in the kind of war waged by Russia and Japan is indicat- ed by the difference in the number of prisoners held by the two combatants. The number of Japanese prisoners in the hands of the Russians is not pre- cisely known, but 1t is comparatively insignificant, not more than 1000 at the outside. Japan has upward of 100000 Russian prisoners, of whom 40,O00 were taken at Mukden in March last, 26,O0O at Port Arthur, about 5000 in the bat tie of the Sea of Japan and the rest in smaller engagements. The repatria- tionof prisoners is not regulated by any international agreement, the Hague Convention of 1899 merely declaring that after the conclusion of peace. the repatriation of prisoners of war shall take place as speedily as possible" ." Japan will, therefore, provide means for the return of her captured soldiers and will pay the cost of their transfer, while Russia will at the same time as- sume the greater responsibility of mov- ing her imprisoned soldiers and sailors from tlie Japanese depots. In fact, the Russian government is said to have already taken the first steps toward that end in signing a contract with the Hamburg-American Steamship Com- pany for the transportation. of the prisoners by water.
 As the Russian prisoners have been we'll cared for by the Japanese they will have chance to speak well of their captors when they get home, and will doubtless be glad to do so.

tiny engine in the rear part of the shell; and, though it is not so asserted in the current account, the motor prob ably causes a propeller wheel outside the casing to revolve The inventor proposes to have three sizes, their di- ameters being I, and F inches, re- spectively, and their charges of guncot- ton varying from five to one hundred pounds.
 Tests were made of the two smaller sizes a short time ago on the ordnance proving grounds of the Swedish gov ernment, and a number of foreign off, cers were permitted to witness them. The torpedoes were discharged from skeleton tubes set up at what was con- sidered the most suitable angle, the only impetus given to the torpedoes being that afforded by the burning of the composition which they contained. What impressed some observers as the most remarkable feature of the trial was the fact that the course of the pro- jectiles did not alter. A perfect aim seemed to be feasible, although the mounting was make-shift. The finch torpedoes travelled about mile and a quarter (2,2OO yards), and the S-inch torpedoes nearly three miles. The range of the largest size was not ascertained, but it could hardly have been less than five miles, and it might well have been greater.
 This hath a promising look, and if the performance equals the promise war will be even more interesting than it has been.

SOME UNTAINTED TALK.

John D. Rockefeller's money may M tainted, but there is nothing tainted about the very sensible remarks he made to the members of the mems Bible class of the Euclid Avenue Bap- tist church in Cleveland. His text was Don't be a good fellow.' I'm always happy to meet any man." he contin- ued. "E love my fellow man; take great interest in him; he is worth the deepest study. For instance, what man is it who drags society down." he ask ed. Several answers were made. I had in mind the moderate drinkers. There the greatest evil lies; there the degradation; there the disrepute there the sapping of all the world. Don't be a good fellow. You know what I mean.

4 CHANCE TO LE4RN.

People who go to prison have a chance to become more or less learned by the use of the prison library, and those who go into the wild, free life of the United States navy have a sim liar chance. The navy department will shortly buy from New York book pub fishers something like $15OOO worth of literature in books of 8 wide range of subjects and of itemized cost extending from 30 cents to $5 a volume. These books will make up the libraries for the Virginia, the Nebraska, the Georgia, the New Jersey and the Rhode Island, the five battleships which will be short ly ready for commission. Some of the books of these ships libraries are to be bought within the next few weeks by competitive bidding and the award of contract. The books thus acquired will be kept in stock at the New York Navy yard, and will be drawn upon as far as may be needed in making up the libraries of the five ships named. The other books required in these libraries will be purchased probably by contract when it is found just what is wanted to complete the list of literature. Those in charge of the ships libraries are much gratffied to learn that these books are eagerly sought and generally read by members of the crews. It is found, for instance, on board the training ship Pensacola, at San Francisco, that many books, notably those of fiction, have been so worn by constant handling as to be practically out of issue, and it has been decided to renew the library of that ship.
 As it is not probable that the United States sailors will become too literary to fight it is pleasant that they can have the pleasure of reading.

4 NEW PEACE P.ERSUA DER.

Right on the heels of the announce ment of peace comes the announcement of a new weapon with which to make peace when The Hague, President Roosevelt and others fail. This is the aerial torpedo, and it is the invention of Major Unge, of the Swedish army. Like the Whitehead device, it carries charge of guncotton in it's head, and in the body are provided means for au- tomatic propulsion. The latter differ from those employed with submarine torpedoes. Major Unge substitutes for compressed air a composition consisting mainly of gunpowder. The gases of combustion do not escape directly as they do from rocket, but actuate a

A correspondent writing to the Cnemnitz (Germany) Tageblatt from Bagdad, states many modern improve snlents are being made. The Vilajet Mossul, on the middle Tigris, is ex- trenely rich in all agricultural prod ucts, and during the last ten years much has been done to introduce ra- tional methods of farming. The Bed ouins are becoming less nomadic in their habits and are leaving the neigh boring steppes to become permanently domiciled upon the land, which is being Irrigated and reclaimed from the state of waste which has characterized it for. centuries. The projected Bagdad railway, a German enterprise, will pass directly through the country and bring it within easy reach of the commercial world. Two new steamers, built in Eng land, are now plying the Tigris. They are owned by a native company, and are fitted up with all modern appliances such as electric light, etc.

The first electric trolley line con- structed in Japan was that opened in Kioto in 1895. Since then other cities have built similar lines, and there are now seventeen companies, capitalized at s1S,OOOOOO, operating one hundred and twenty miles of road and building eighty-five more. Most of these com panies have not yet very profitable business; but that the profits will be large is indicated by the fact that the electric tramways of Tokio already pay annual dividends of not less than 10 per cent.

GHE OLDEST DAILY PAPER PUB- LIsHED IN CONNECTICUT.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-03-23

Parliament passed such an act in 1896,
and on Jan. /, 1899, the London county
council came into formal possession OF
a large share Of the mileage of tram
ways within its jurisdiction. The last
private franchise will not expire until
1910, but the lines are small and of no
consequence compared with the stu
pendous problem of constructing and
operating new arteries Of transporta-
ton.
In no modern utility is London so
woefully deficient as in street railways.
1t has only lis miles of tracks, of
which the county council owns eighty
eight miles. OF these forty-eight are
north Of the Thames and are leased un-
til 1910 to the British traction trust.
The county now considers that 1t made
mistake in making this lease and is
negotiating for it's purchase. There

are fofty-eight miles south of the
Thames, OF which the council owns anO
operates forty miles. The remnant OF
private lines Is purchasable In 1906.
London's lack of progress In street
transportation is best evinced by the
fact that the first electric tramcar was
driven from Westminster bridge to
footing on May is, 1908. On that date
tens of thousands of miles of electrical
railway were in paying operation IN
the United States, and such municipal
tiles as Manchester and Glasgow were
swelling their treasures from the re-
ceipts Of publicly owned electrical
street railways.
London has only one mile Of tram
way to every 10000 population, Glas'
Cow one mile to every 1890, Liverpool
one mile to S,400 and Manchester one
mile to $500 people.

THE KANSAS OIL FIELDS
Greatest Opportunity for Easy Money
Making Known in the United
States for Years

The state of Kansas, through the
courage of it's legislature and the de-
termination of it's people, will reap a
rich harvest from it's oil producing
fields. The new legislation was passed
with the emergency clause attached
and is already effective. 1t has re-
suited in reducing freight rates on oil
about half and guarantees a market
for both the crude and refined prod
ucts. 1t has been a big victory for
the owners of oil producing wells in
Kansas. 1t happens that the Kansas
crude oil is of better quality than
in almost any other oil region. The
Standard Oil company has recognized
this and is now paying higher price
for the Kansas product than for any
other except Pennsylvania. All these
conditions have increased the value of
the Bueno-Ventura Oil and Gas Co.
holdings as it has all other good oil
lands. The market for the product is
assured.

there is in the great Peru district. To

will only be short time until the
work of sinking the well will begin.
After that no more stock will be sold.
Those who have money for specu-

than purchase shares in this company.
There is little doubt but that big divi-
dends will be paid monthly. That has
been the experience of almost every
oil property that has been judiciously
and honestly developed.
