A Handy Garden Cart.

No one realizes how handy a snall
cart is on the farm until one has useu
it; the wheelbarrow is all right IN It's
place, but there are times when the
hand cart answers the purpose much
better. The illustration shows how
one of these carts may be made with
little lumber and any old wheels
from mower one may have. If there
are no such wheels and shaft on the
farm, the local blacksmith can prob
ably supply the want from articles

WHITE OPPOSED WAR.
Had Car Needed His Advice There
Would Have Been No
Conflict.

fcC. petersburg. May I'M. AngulfeH,
formerly an assistant of NJ. White, presi-
dent of the committee of minister's I'M
dertakes the defense of his former chief
against the charges that he was in any
manner responsible for the Manchurian
adventure or the events which brought
on the war.
Opposed Manchurian Grab.
On the contrary, NJ. Anguireff proves
by means Of hitherto unpublished docu-
ments that NJ. Witte opposed the Man
churian plans throughout in the most
energetic manner lntlmatlng IN fact, that
it was really his opposition to the
schemes in the far east which led to his
downfall as finance minister.
NJ. Angurieff says that in the first
place Nj. White was not responsible for
the Siberian railroad. Its conception
and execution belonged to his predeces-
sor, as finance minister, NJ. Wychen-
gradski
NJ. Witte was opposed to the seizure Of
Port Arthur in 1898, but was overruled
by the advice Of Count Muravieff, the
minister for foreign affairs, who sub
mltted proofs that Great Britain intend
ed to seize the port if Russia did not
dc it.
Predicted the War.
Subsequently, NJ Witte opposed the
retention of Manchuria After the Box
er uprising NJ White presented a memo
randum to the Emperor pointing out
with the foresight of a statesman, Man
churia and Korea as territory for the
extension of Japan's growing activities,
her life Or death, and adding that Rus
sian occupation of that territory was
bound to lead to a clash and eventually
to war.
When he again was overruled, M.
Witte advised the immediate construc-
ton of the circum Baikal railroad for
strategical purposes in preparation for
the conflict which he saw ahead Later,
when the situation became acute, seeing
that Russia was not prepared, NJ. Witte
urged at least the temporary withdrawal
of the Russian forces from Manchuria
Advised Japan's Friendship.
He then wrote to the Emperor as fol-
lows:
'Instead Of making an enemy of Japan
we should win her friendship. [ strong
ly advise a friendly solution. We need
to populate our eastern provinces and
have vital interests to defend in the
war with the yellow race in order that
the peasants of Russia may understand
what they are fighting for.
All M. Whites warnings were I'M
needed and he was no longer consulted.

When Lambs Need DiDDiup.

If mature sheep are troubled with
ticks, and lambs run with the flock,
most of the ticks, in two or three
weeks after shearing, will have left the
old sheep to live upon the tender skin
and amid the longer wool of the lambs.
It is, therefore, evident that money
will be saved by dipping the lambs.

MISS MARGARET LANGHAM, RELAsCo

Joseph jefferson, teaches us lessons OF
patience and gentleness in dealing with
human frailities with a cogency and
persuasiveness that could not be
equaled by the eXhortations Of host
of sermons.
II think | can very clearly see the
day when the stage, liberated from
commercial servitude to the frivolous
and erotc, will become at once the
highest exponent of the moral Ideal
and the most creative force in the
great work of enlarging and refining
the social conscience.
1.-THE day will come when the actor
and actress of eminence will rise from
the rank of artists, the creators and
expounders of the beautiful, into the
higher order of prophets, the creators
and expounders of the good"
TO this the Mirror offers the following
dissenting opinions:
"All this is complimentary to the
theater as an institution, and incident
ally it is very suggestive, coming as 1t
does from the pulpit which for gener-
atons has held forth against every
thing relating to the stage. But it
seems impossible that the theater ever
should become just what this clergy
man believes is possible of it along the
lines he indicates.
mot only is the art of the stays COM
plex, but the theater must touch all
the grades of intelligence in humanity.
and to do this it must be widely varied
to play upon the general emotions as
well as TO entertain, which is its first
function.
"There are thousands Of persons of
the first order of intelligence that ap-
preciate lessons directed from the stage
by master minds In authorship and
acting. There are other thousands that
Los Angeles herald., 1905-05-14

will accept lessons in plays If the
purely dramatic and the primarily
amusing predominate in those plays.
And there are multitudes that wish
only the lightest and most superficial
of stage entertainment. The theater
must in turn please all.
Every sort and type of play, within
established limitations, is proper for the
stage, because every sort and type of
person has a natural dramatic instinct
that must be satisfied within indi-
vidual lights and limitations. But as
plays run, 1t is difficult to find any that
Go not in some way inspire thought or
inculcate good lessons. Surely the
problem play cuts deeply into human
impulses and marks human penalties;
even in the baldest melodrama virtue
triumphs and vice is punished; while
the plays or mere Shows put forward
to please the vulgar have their uses,
for they more clearly differentiate the
people who hold them in contempt
from the person whom they please
persons who surely cannot be made
any the worse for seeing them and who
can neither be induced to patronize
the better drama or go to church"
