the assistance of the members Of the

anyone may belong yperforming one
kindness.
To these Mrs. Alden sends the fol-
lowing appeal:
Dear Friend of Sunshine:-
Since have no letter this month in the
Ladies' Home Journal telling the mem
bers Of the "One Kindness club

to me for some suggestion) have con-
cluded this is the time for me to write
you short letter. First of all, let me
wish you and your loved ones pleasant
summer. greatly fear the heat predicted

you would enjoy answering. The small
est mite will greatly assist us in the
work.
We still owe $35 for the treatment for
the little paralyzed girl under the care
of Professor Hilgert. She is progressing
finely and we are much encouraged. If
you have any children who enjoy perfect
health, would it not be sunshiny to send
a mite as thankoffering.
At the time of writing we owe $40 on
the bill for Mr.. Kimmell. who was a
helpless cripple until we provided him
with an artificial foot. He himself has
earned SIS and sent it in. We need your
help here very much.
An invalid man who has been in the
care of Sunshine for three years has been
having special treatment. The doctor $
bill is just $100 and we are paying this
a dollar at a time.
We want a horse for the Fresh Ali
farm We can't get one given to us, sc
are trying to collect dollar bills toward
buying one.
Two dollars will pay for a little child
outing on this farm for a week.
Two dollars will pay for child's care
in the New York State nursery for {

Five dollars will give dozen children

Your influence over Others.

You may think you have no influence
over any other lives, but you have. No
life, no matter how humble or lowly, but
leaves its influence, either blessing or a
curse, on the lives it touches. The very
simplest kindnesses may be blessings to
others that we may never fully realize.
Nor can we know how far the influence
of word shall extend. The cheerful
word to one discouraged may bring new
hope, new energy, that will change life
from darkness to light DR.. D. Chalmers
says:
Every man is missionary, now and
forever for good or evil, whether he in
tends or designs it or not. He may be
blot, radiating his dark influence out
ward to the very circumference of society;
or he may be blessing, spreading bene-
diction over the length and breadth Of
the world; but a blank he cannot be.
There are no moral blanks; there are no
neutral characters. We are either the
sower who sows and corrupts or the light
that splendidly illuminates, and the salt
| that silently operates, but being dead or
alive every man speaks"

Halt IN PEACE PLANS.
EnUoys Not Named-Fear OF Great
Battle in ManchuYta.

Washington June 24.-Peaoe negotiations be-
tween Russia and Japan have come to a haIs On
account of the Illness of Count Lamsdorif, tne
Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs 1t Is ex-
planned officially, that nothing In the form OF
hitch has occurred. but that the negotiations
merely have been suspended temporarily.
Count Cassini the Russian Ambassador. had
brief interview with President Roosevelt to-
day. but he had no important advices from his
government TO communicate. IIe called to pay
his respects to the President prior to the lat
ter's departure next Monday Afternoon for the
summer. They discussed informally the peace
situation. the President expressing his earnest
hope that another general engagement In Man
churia might be averted by the negotiations for
a permanent peace now pending.
It Is learned that up to this time suggestions
for armistice have not been received with
absolute favor by either Russia or japan. Quite
naturally, each government Is seeking an ad-
vantage the other in the diplomatic spar
ring that is going on. and among those in touch
with the situation 1t is regarded unlikely that
definite arrangements for armistice will be
concluded. even IL they should be concluded at
all, before the formal meeting Of the plenipo-
tentiaries of the two powers.
AS heretofore noted, there is serious appre-
hension that unless a temporary suspension Of
the result Of which might wreck completely the
pending peace negotiations.
It was expected confidently that announce
ment of the names of the ENJOYS of the two
powers to the Washington conference could be
made by the end Of this week but. as mat
ter of fact the negotiations have not advanced
in the least since Tuesday That both Russia
and Japan have decided upon their representa-
tives at the conference IS quite certain. but each
government, for reasons of it's own. declines to
make formal announcement OF them.
1t seems scarcely probable at this moment
that President Roosevelt will be in position
to authorize further official statement of the
status of the pending negotiations before he
goes TO Oyster Bay for the summer. While both
Russic and Japan have indicated that they may
be ready to open the conference about August /,
the belief in well informed quarters now is that
the conference of the plenipotentiaries Is likely
to be delayed and that they may not get to-
gether until the middle or latter part of August

been thoroughly disinfected, and his forty COM

PRINCE Won BUELoW's POWERS.
Kaiser's kilograms Now Countersigned by
German Chancellor.

Berlin, June PA fact which attracts atten-
ton is that many Of Emperor Williams tele-
grams have been recently countersigned by
Chancellor Won Bulow. This apparently occurs
in all cases where his majesty's kilograms have
political or public interest. According to the
newspapers, the Chancellor. after his elevation
to princely rank, impressed the Emperor with
the difficult position he (von Buow) was placed
in before the Reichstag by the imperial tele-
grams for which he Chancellor had to be re-
sponsible, but which he had never seen till
published in the newspapers. 1t Is reported
that the Emperor agreed to consult the Chan
cellor regarding kilograms of political charac-
ter before sending them, and to ask him to
countersign them.
