Nonsense About oMaananimity., !,

From the ST. Louis Republican.
That Japan had It's bear by the tail and
was glad to turn IL loose, even though the
bear showed no present capacity to hurt,
must be the truth. Japan was tired. even
ms pursurer is tired victories are costly
and exhuusting. and IL must be relief
TO let go" honorably. The world was
equally tired Of the wsr and its demor-
alization and damage. The Powers were
virtually holding up warning hand to
Japan. The matter had gone far enough.
and there were other things to be con-
sdered besides the interests Of the COM
batants. Such, roughly. is the philosophy
underlying the "magnanimity" of the MI
kado's country which many thoughtless
commentators are eXaggeratlng with all
possible fulsomeness. Moreover had ia
pan been compelled to pursue the war its
course would have been that Of invasion
and conquest. II would have had to press
the struggle inland against the limitless
latent power of Russia's broad domain,
with only the comparatively small popula
tlon and restricted resources of the tiny
island to provide the wherewithal. tt
would have been like sending doughty
little Cuba, for instance, against the
United States Japan could whip Russia
for the time being; It could not have con-
quered and subiugated IT.

STORIES OF THEDAY
The Donegal Hen.

John stll, the proprietor OF the
Bavarian Park In this city, contributes
the following:
An American gentleman who was spend
ing his holidays in County Donegal Ire
land, fell into conversation with Nick Nc
D., who at the time was feeding his
hons
Il guess. Nick you haven't as good
hens here as we have in the United
StatesT
Perhaps not" said Nick.
'IH tell YOU" said the Yankee, about
hen my mother had. She went out one
day and ate "a feed OF corn and returned
TO her nest and laid twelve eggs. She
went out the next day and ate another
feed Of corn and laid twelve more eggs
Tho third day she went out again and ate
more corn. then returned TO her nest and
laid twelve more eggs The hen then sat
on the thirty-six eggs and hatched sew
enty-two chickens ou: OF the thirty-six
eggs. Now that is the Kind Of hens that
we have In our country
well" said Nick. I'm tell you about
half-blnd hen my mother had. She
ate feed OF saw dust thinking it was
oatmeal then went to her nest and laid
a plank twelve feet long. She ate more
saw dust the next day and laid another
plank twelve feet long She ate more saw
dust the third day and laid another plank
twelve feet lond. The hen then sat on the
three planks and Matched three kitchen
chairs, four parlor chairs, sofa, one
table and "a mahogany chest of drawers.
Now" said Nick with a twinkle in his
eye. "that is the kind Of hens we have
/ in DONEGAL"

AN ExPArRlArEp SON.

ID HlLADELPHIA had a visit from
one of her expatrlated sons the
other day. Anthony J. Drexel. Mr..
Drexel has found it more to his taste
to live in Europe. which is all right
considering Europe is sending over
more than she receives OF us.
From his chat with reporter we
gather that he had two objects in
making the trip. to keep his yacht in
commission and to spend a day at
Newport. He dropped off for few
hours. doubtless from sense Of duty,
in Philadelphia. but we gather that
he was bored, fearfuny bored" as
Hoggenheimer says in the play.
The reporter tells us that MIR. Drexel
is noted for his exquisite taste" in
Dress and on this occasion he seems
to have had his reputation in mind,
for we read that "His sack suit of
soft. gray cheviot was beautifully cut
and worn with that air OF unique dis
tmction so often commented upon
land so on for paragraphs.
Now this young man Of vast wealth
after long sojourn abroad returns
and with all OF his opportunities {,
accomplish something worth while
Ian that the Ingenuity of the reporter
can discover Is that he has some
glad rags" to show. And even this
distinction Is not his, but his taliors
why. we know OF young fellow
who went away from home and was
gone for six weeks When he return
ed he had on the same clothes which
he wore away but he poured seven
teen dollars into his mothers lap. ate
a hearty supper OF pork and cabbage
and went to bed and dreamless sleep
He had done something worth while
more than Drexel with his millions
land his vast opportunities has done
But. you say, Drexel spends his money
and the poor get it. or course, since
Drexel must have clothes and yachts
and orchids he can't help himself

then they did not know the nature OF

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored

destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing

Youths Heroic Feat.

TO the efforts Of Harry Truman,
aged Is years. of Salisbury Nd. is
due the fact that the stars and Stripes
ARE floating over the house of the
Phoenix Fire Company.
Some time ago the halyards on the
pole on top Of the fire house at Twelfth
and King streets broke and no member
OF the company could be found who
was daring enough to climb the staff
and put on new ones. on Monday
last. Truman who is employed by a
local ice company stopped with his
wagon IN front Of the place and glanc-
ing up at the pole saw that there was
no flag dying.
Upon inquiry, he learned the reason
and at once volunteered to climb the
staff and replace the ropes. Despite
the fact that a high wind was blowing
the lad without hesitation went to the
roof of the fire house, Skinned up the
pole and placed the halyards in posi-
tion. The staff is 10 feet from the
sidewalk and forty feet from the roof
of the house. a purse was made up
for the boy. who seemed to consider
his feat nothing out of the ordinary.

with the result that their owners are
making money.
There are lands which twenty years
ago as less We're coaxed into produce
.ing ten bushels OF wheat per acre that
now produce fruits and trucks to the
value of more than 500 per acre. one
says that he has received more than
that sum for peas. another for cab
bage, another for cantaloupes. and
yet another has cleared nearly 500
on 500 hills OF lima beans
Intensive farming requires brains
and enterprise, but It pays: and it
will pay better nowhere than right
here in Delaware. There isn't sec
tion Of the United States where as
many crops can be produced profit
ably as here. But the man who puts
his trust in ancient methods will
struggle TO live.
Instead of given piece OF land
producing one meagre crop once in
two years. IT will now oftentimes pro-
duce two good crops in one year. on
the basis of the same yield per crop
in the same length Of time it produces
four times as much as OF old.
That lands necessarily wear out Is
proved to be fallacy. A proper se-
lection and rotation Of crops improves
} the land while making a profit for the
farmer.
The farmer has found out that cer-
tain plants by taking elements from
the air bringing up others from the
deep subsoil and through the action
Of certain bacteria improve his land
while producing him valuable crop,
This is why in many parts OF Kent
and Sussex the farms are being cut
up into small holdings. and why real
estate is daily advancing It's a great
country for the farmer who owns a
little plot and has brains as well as
industry.

Why Some Men Are superstitious.

From the Spectator.
There are men who have a congenia'
tendency TO distrust fate with the better
half OF their minds they may be ontl.
mlsts but there is a corner which is never
free from the pain of fear, the fear of a
sort Of transcendental spite. Plutarch
said OF the superstitlous that they be-
lieved IN the gods, and believed them Ia
be unfriendy. Some survival of this
pagan notion remains TO this day. even
among those whose reasonable conviction
and reqerent faith alike lead them to
totally opposite conclusions. They do not
believe they Will have more misfortune
II they take a house which is numbered
10 than II they took one numbered 81, but
they avoid the former in order to quiet
their own painful imagination.

Theatrical Notes

All previous conceptions of moving
pictures must be shelved and enlarged
when Lyman II. Howe's are seen. The
exhibition is not simply first of its
class. but is Of a temper entirely diff
ferent from the rest, and I'm It there
are qualities to which no others may
lay claim. Every spectator feels con-
seiously or unconsciously the subtle
spell and range of an art of which Mr..
Howe is by common acceptance. the
undisputed master. The new program,
unerringly as ever portrays themes and
activities of worldwide interest and
abounds with the spirit OF travel and
comedy. Mr.. Howe searches out the
most remote quarters of the globe and
transfers those distant scenes to us
with an accuracy and fidelity that not
only retains the charm of the original,
but is enhanced by the transition. II
is program thoroughly characteristic
OF all Mr. Howe's past efforts. and
comprehends them ala rapid
sequence of travel, humor, comedy
and all that grips our interest and
that viii linger long with every specta-
tor The exhibition will appear at the
Grand Opera House this afternoon and
