Japan and Russia are going a little
slow just now as Russia is hanging
back and does not want TO admit
that she is licked while Japan does
not propose to give up any advan-

Russia does not know when she is
licked.

Senator ]. p. Dolliver, junior SEN
ator from Iowa, underwent an oper-
alton recently. 1t was of a painful,
although not of a serious nature.
The operation was successful, and
the senator hopes to be entirely re-
covered with in a week or ten DAYS.
The necessity for the operation
grew out of an affection of the ducts
IN the uppev part of the nasal re gion
and above the right eye.
Several weeks ago, while return
ing from Iowa where he had gone
to attend the funeral of his father,
Senator Dolliver contracted a severe
cold. 1t developed into neuralgia,
and later the ducts described, be.
came involved. The trouble did
not yield to treatment readily, and
It was concluded to have the opera

In Memory of Clyde Tharp.

One dear form lay on slab,
One form SO still and white,
Clyde, the wife and child's COM
fort,
Had gone to home Of height.
o Clyde, my husband, the wife
cried;
How Gao 1 give you up like
this!
And then with wall of paio,
she pressed
Upon his brow a kiss.
In silence they stood beside her,
To comfort, 10 the and cs1u,
The heart so cruslly bleeding,
Because the husband was
from 1T torn.
Don't weep for Dearest Clyde,
now;
Do not wish him back again;
For he is only waiting on the
other side,
A star tor your golden crown
And when you think of that liz.
ed grave,
That holds one form so dear
Remember father and mother
that your CLYDE,
Is with our Blessed Savior;
And think that bye and bye
When you are done with earth
and care
That you, too, will 60 home with
him to rest,
In mansion bright and fair
And remember that circling
round you now,
Are myriads of angel forms
And that Clyde, dear Clyde, il
with the band,
That shields you from all harm
Then be earnest in His service
now,
Let your soul be filled with
prayer
For a few more days will show tc
you
Your work God holds in store
