 We like the business fine" one of them said. You see, it is so differ ent from what we have been used to that We like the novelty of it, and 1t seems more like play. Of course, it is rather dull here socially. It was es- pecially so until last year when we got the railroad, for we could never see any one but the local residents, but since its arrival Leslie is beginning to grow socially as well as otherwise. There is fine boating, fishing and sWlming here, and my sister and I are enthusiastic lovers of these sports. We also have two fine saddle horses and go horseback riding. so it's not so dull here as one would thing. Then there IS facination about the newspaper business, and besides we are making good money"

marine crew that there was nothing about the submarine which promised a worse disaster than happened to the Bennington at San Diego. So far. about the only danger seems to be in the pos sibility that the submarine will sink and be unable to come to the surface All naval ships have this danger, in greater or less degree, added to which there are other menaces from which the submarine is not exempt. It is be- lieved that with the means of bringing the submarine to the surface. such as is proposed by the naval constructors all precautionary measures required under the circumstances will be furn- ished. There will be a series of exper- iments with the appliances for lifting at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where the submarines Plunger, Porpoise and Shark are now undergoing repairs.

BUSY. BoTco1rryG cHIsAnEN.

The Chinese are showing that they know how to boycott. Mass meetings of guilds are continually held at Cam ton and Hongkong for the purpose of furthering the boycott against the United States, Delegates have been appointed to visit different guilds in China. and a board has been arranged to gather data from Chinese in Amer ica regarding their disabilities. This information is to be published in pamphlet form for distribution throughout China. Circular letters will also be sent to Chinese in America urging them not to be disheartened. but to stand firmly by the movement. Chinese vernacular papers are print ing columns of bitter attacks against the United States. and recounting sto- ries of alleged degradations and out rages practised upon Chinese in Amer ica, which help to inflame the people of South China.
 Of course we are treating the Chi nese better than we were, but before they can be persuaded that we are treating them well they may hurt our trade and our feelings.

TWO SUCCESSFUL GIRL EDITORS.

Down in the wild and undeveloped but picturesque part of Arkansas is situated the little town of Leslie. It's principal industry is the lumber busi- ness, consequently saw mill employees constitute the principal part of the population. Despite the undeveloped character of the country and the rough nlannerisms of it's inhabitants, two former Kansas City girls have seen fit to locate in it and enter a field that in country towns has generally been re- garded as belonging to man--the field Of journalism.
 The young ladies are the Misses Mar garet and Lillian Walton, daughter of R. c. Walton, mining engineer, whos until a year ago, resided in Kansas City, at No 1510 Brooklyn Avenue. They are the editors and publishers of the Leslie News, a five1column folio and very newsy country paper They employ no solicitors nor employers of any sort, doing their own typesteeting and on press days one would not re- cognize in the perspiring and ink be- smeared young ladies two former ha- bitues of the ballroom. Both misses are young, Margaret being twenty and Lil- Han eighteen, the former being member of the 1902 graduating class of Kansas City high school. They were entirely without experience in the News. upon a paying basis in little over a year, having over 800 circula- tion at the rate of $1 per year. In ad- dition to this they have a large job

"RurcHn BRANK1N,s VISIT.

Gilson in his youth lived in a coun- try village. Since he has been busy with state politics he has found his early rural acquaintances useful, to say nothing of his genuine liking for many of them. Therefore, Gilsons house has long served altogether too much as a general hotel and rendez- vous for his down-state" friends for Mrs. Gilson's satisfaction. Gilson, however, maintaining that he feels nothing but deepest contempt for the man who will, "climb up by a stool, then kick the stool over," has always insisted upon unlimited and lavish hospitality toward the out-of-town visitors. The climax of his generosity and of Mrs. Gilson's patience came last week.
 Mrs. Gilson, who is president of a fashionable social club, was just starting out for an afternoon of bridge, when the maid ushered in a caller--a long, lank, sunburned youth of hearty manner, but of equally man. ifest shyness. He shook hands warm ly with Mrs. Gilson, and explained that good old Si''--Mrs Gilson calls her husband Simon and detests nick names-had urged him to visit him when next in the city. =

RELIGION IN THE RUSSIAN ARMY.
 It has been shown that the Japanese are not exactly heathen, and they seem to be able to fight as well as the Rus sian Christians. The Russian authori- ties, it appears, take much pains to pro- vide for the spiritual wants of the sol- diers. The Orthodox Church imposes on her sons in the field assistance" at the weekly Sunday offices, and at daily morning and evening prayer, The fast of Lent is as strict as circumstances permit. Easter communion is neces- sity. The soldiers take part in the diff ferent offices by squadrons, accompan- jed by an officer and subalterns. Every regiment and every ship has it's priest with a church or chapel. The authori- ties take exceeding care to exhibit a marked neutrality between the various beliefs of the different races of which the imperial army is composed. For be- sides Russians. there are to be found in the ranks Poles, Films, Tartars, Jews, people of the Caucasus, Kal- mucks. and Ouriates. All are free to practice their own form of religion. The one thing that is strictly forbidden and severely punished is any attempt to alienate the Orthodox soldier from his faith.
 And so forth and so on. If brave Russian and Japanese soldiers should happen to meet in Heaven what sur prise it would be for the Russians,

 The hours dragged terribly. and MT. Giison suggested an early retirement as soon as he could decently do so. But MT. Brankin, evidently with some Idea of conventiOnality or politeness, insisted and reiterated that he was not weary, even while his heavy eye lids closed. It was nearly morning before he could be lured to bed, and the first streak of dawn found him creeping about the house in the con- spicuously quiet manner that never fails to arouse the ordinary sleeper. Mrs. Gilson herself prepared for him an early breakfast, since the maid would not rise until nearly seven. Then she insisted that MT. Gilson take him for a walk.

MORE SAFETY FOR SUBMA R1NEs

MORE SAFETY FOR SUBM4 RINES
 If may be safer than 1t has been to go down in the sea in submarines. The experts in naval construction at the Brooklyn Navy Yard have been in- structed to work out the detail plans of a device which will have the effect of adding to the security of submarines. It is proposed to place heavy shackle at each end of submarine, so that a boat disabled at the bottom and unable to rise to the surface may be elevated by means of 8 floating derrick or some other method attached to boat on the surface. This is one of the direct re- suits of the accidents which have over taken submarines abroad, and especial ly the disaster to the French boat, where the officers and crew were i'm prisoned for several days, the greater part or which period they were known to be alive. but who died before the boat was brought to the surface. There has been some talk of constructing at New York floating derrick, for the purpose of serving as a tender for sub- marines at practice, it being realized that special means for protection should be taken for the benefit of those engaged in experimental work on such boats.
 Most experts in submarine naviga- tion say there is no need of great alarln or apprehension in regard to ser- vice on the submarine. and certainly those attached to such boats do not seem to regard their lives as imperilled. It was the remark of one of a sub-

THE WIRELESS WONDER.

The English woman who bought an ear-trumpet and the very next day heard from her son at Botany Bay was duly surprised, but if she had lived while longer she might have heard without the ear-trumpet. Lieu tenant Kaiser's report of the distance at which wireless messages from the shore may be heard at sea was not needed to show that ship equipped with, the required apparatus can re- main in constant communication with the land during a voyage across the Atlantic. The Campania has, already accomplished that feat. His state ment, however, of the results of his experiments on board the cruiser Brooklyn during the recent trip of Admiral Sigsbees squadron to France and return is interesting, because it confirms the results recorded on the Campania. Lieutenant Kaiser re- ports, in substance, that wireless messages from the shore were read on board the Brooklyn at a distance of eleven hundred sea miles, and that a wireless signal was heard at a dis tance of seventeen hundred and eighty sea miles. The significance of these latter figures is plain, for they repre- sent more than half the distance across the Atlantic.

During a visit in Massachusetts town Jacob A. Riis was asked by a agaunt, funereal kind of chap what he would say by way of introducing him to the assemblage. "Oh," replied MT. Riis, in 8 spirit of levity, "say anything you like. Say I am the most distin- guished man in the country. They gen. orally do." Whereupon his serious minded friend marched upon the stage and calmly announced that he did not know this man Riis, whom he was charged to introduce, and had never heard of him.

Japan is succeeding in it's efforts to control the shipping trade along the Chinese coast. The new service be- tween Shanghai and Hongkong via Fuchan and Annoy is doing a large bus mess. which will be permanent, as it provides connections between the ser vice joining Formosa ports and ports of the Chinese coast. The Japanese government subsidies the line, subject to the vessels arriving and leaving on time. At present the vessels in use are all chartered vessels. but as soon as the war is over they will fly the sunrayed flag of Japan. Of this Chinese coast trade American vessels only represent 1-2 per cent. Great Britain's share is 51 1-2 per cent.
