The Fountain of Youth.

With the passing of youth aud COIN
cident with the grind of bread-win-

pursuit OF pleasure, we become hard

useful, and the commonplace
We are always in danger of becom-

ness of 1t is that the more nearly we
approach that condition the more con-

HUMANE SOCIETY NOT
INVOLVED IN DISPUTE
Troubles of New York Association Is
Local in Character, Not Affecting
Outside Bodies.

The controversy over the committee
reports and the financial standing of
the American Society for the PreYen-
tion Of Cruelty to Animals of New York
city, VIII in no wise affect the local
humane society. There is no afiliation
whatsoever between the two societies,
although the name of the New York
organization would indicate that 1t is
the general head of the local societies
which exist in almost every city in the
country.
An attempt was made about year
ago to form d national organization
with headquarters in Chicago, but the
plan was defeated as the greater num-
Der of the societies voted against affii-
iation on the ground that ii was more
than possible that some trouble or dis
sension, such as IS the case in New
York now. would be the result.
President Snow, of the local organi-
zation, said this morning he had heard
for some time rurors Of trouble within
the ranks of the New York society, but
as he knew nothing further than what
appeared in the papers he was not in
position to judge the merits OF the
case.
The Washington times., 1905-06-26

to be extracted therefrom by min
ing, by farming, or by building;
our processes of thought may be high
er and more complex, but in essence
what we see and seek and what the
OK sees and seeks are one and the
same-the possibility of the satisfac-
ton of present hunger and the chance
for self-preservation. In neither the
OK nor in us is there a shadow of
wonder at the marvel of the growing
grass or the fecundity of nature. We
speak of beauty and we mean utility
and the Utilization of the senses.
But 1t is not so with childhood and
youth, it was not always so with us.
Some few individuals preserve that
necessary characteristic of eternal
youth, the element of wonder; in all
Of US. perhaps, it may be revived.
Herein lies the greatest charm of
travel, travel not in search of the dol
lar, but travel in search of the foun-
tain of youth; for that it Is all trav-
elers seek. If you seek it you have
it, and, though you know 1t not. it is
Within you. Travel cures us of our
psychic paralysis, it restores the lost
art OF diyination whereby things are
seen as marvellous and beautiful, it
returns us to the youthful attitude Of
wonder, and rejuvenates the mind
though it may not cure the body.
1t matters little where we go pro
vided the change is sufficient to
rouse us from our apathy. For the
dwellers in the city it is we'll that
they go down to the sea in ships or
seek the majestic solitude of the
mountains. If storm at sea or in
the mountains cannot stir one so
something more than fear; if the
ceaseless heaye of the ocean or the
changing hues of the mountains can
not rouse one to forgetfulness of self;
If the path OF moonlight across the
waters, or the glow of dawn upon
the nountain-tops does not kindle the
spark OF imagination; then indeed is
Ephraim joined to his idols and his
soul is already dead.
Our vacations from utilitarianism
are the workdays Of our souls. The
fountain Of eternal youth is within
us-it is wonder.

Russi an Teralversation.
Russia's disingenuous treatment OF

RuSSla'S d1Slngenuous treatment or
other powers may be explained
though 1t cannot be excused. Her
rulers are so thoroughly accustomed
to promising their own people what
they never expect to perform; they are
SO well drilled in the usefulness of
regeneration in dealing with their
own people; they are such adopts in
the art of hiding from their own
sight the things they would not see
by burying their heads in the sand;
that they are convinced these methods
are as useful In foreign diplomacy as
they are for home deception.
Russia's course of lying led her by
devious path to the series of splen-
did disasters which she HIS achieved
: in the Far East. But the lesson of
her chastisement she seems unable to
learn. She can have no hope, reason
able or unreasonable, of gaining any
victory or other advantage by the
further prosecution Of he war with
Japan She has present chance of
terminating that war without further
loss of life and without the imposi-
ton OF burdens more severe than
were imposed upon France by Ger
many thirty years ago. Yet she
pleads poverty-which is lie, for her
state and church Golfers hold untold
wealth; she pleads her prestige and
bonor-and her prestige was all on
paper and her honor all in words;
and she pleads the yellow peril and
Christianity-the yellow peril is the
cant word of modern yellow diplom-
acy, and Christianity is the one suf-
ficient cloak Of all hypocrites, perse-
cutors, reactionaries, and liars.
She is trifiing with the world now
as she has always done, but she will
find that the astuteness Of the Japan
ese mind is as veritable a yellow peril
to her in the field of diplomacy as
their bravery is in the field Of battle
Her actions are those OF a spoiled
child who would rather be thrashed
over again than do what is needful at
once.
Surely there is something radically
wrong with men who cannot accept
defeat honestly, and who weaken, in
advance, any possible victory by pre-
mature bluster and ignorant swagger
Where now is her boast thai she
would conclude peace in Tokyo?
But let all that pass. The trouble
with Russia is that human blood is
cheaper in the eyes Of her rulers
than the treasures OF Ter corrupt
state and degraded church. They
themselves will not fight, their skill
and bravery is exhausted in avoiding
assassins, but SO long as they can
knout and bayonet mujiks into the
troop trains the war must go on.

GEBHARD's LITTLE BOOK.
1t Will Be Produced in Court Durinc
Trial

It Will Be Produced in Court Durinq
Trial.
DR.. Gebhard's pocket memorandum
book will probably play an important
part in the present trial Albert Pfaen-
der, attorney for the executors of DR..
Gebhard's estate, has been subpenaed
to produce this memorandum book in
court. 1t is believed that it will show
with whom DR.. Gerhard had an APP
pointment on the night of his murder.
The defense wanted Mr. Pfaender to
let them make a private examination
of the book, but Mr.. Pfaender believed
that it should be produced in the trial
and not be given to either side before.
Because of the defense's desire to get at
this book it is inferred That it be.
lieves the book will give evidence in the
murdered dentists own handwriting
that he had an engagement with some
other man, and not with George R.
Koch, on the night he was slain.
Mr.. Pfaender states, That the attor-
neys for the defense wanted to inspect
the book at first, and he consented,
provided it be done in his presence,
for, as attorney for the administrator
of Dr. Gebhard's estate he had the or
ders of the court not to let the book go
out of his possession.
The attorneys for the defense deny
a story that has been current in the
court room to the effect that friend
of DR.. Koch presented Sheriff Williams
with a list of names Wednesday eve
ming and asked that they be placed
in the special yenire.
