st. Petersburg, June 1.-THE note
Of the foreign office, announcing that
negotiations fer a meeting Of Russian
and Japanese plenipotentiaries were
proceeding RAPIDLY was printed with
out comment in the morning papers,
but the press is of all shades of opin-
ion, is discussing Japan's probable
terms and declares with practical un-
animity for continuation Of the war
rather than acceptance of humiliating
conditions. In this the newspapers are
upheld by public opinion which is
steering around to support of the war
policy, if Jap;in's terms prove too
hard All the papers comment on the
retirement Of Grand Duke Alexis from
the office OF high admiral and a gen
eral feeling of relief is manifested at
the fact that the present naval regime
Is ended.

plains of Manchuria, midway between
the two great armies, the Russian and

sign the armisisfce which will pave the
way for the conference, if the present
tentative program Is followed. Ex-
changes on this point are now in pros
gress between Toxic and st. Peters
burg via. Washington, but final con-
clusion has not been reached. 1t was
first thought a preliminary protocol
might be signed at Washington pro-
viding for a temporary cessation of
hostilities, but in view of the fact that
this concerns directly the armies in
the the field, it is believed that the
beiligerents will agree that the ar
rangements of the armistice would be
best entrusted to Linevitch and
Oyama, the respective commanders in
chief, who, in such event, would be
telegraphed special powers to sign.
The time limit for the armistice has
not yet been fixed, but it will be COM
sparatively brief, that. the progress of
the conference may be assisted as
much as possible.
ENJOYS Must Be Announced

It Was So Thick That It Became AL

Young ladies with a fondness for

by an episode at a seaside resort last
summer, relates Lippincott's Maga-
zine.
An engaging masculine Of seven
years became on exceedingly good
terms with the belle of their particu-
lar hotel, a girl about 20 years his
senior One day the charmer asked
the swain to 60 bathing, and after the
bath, as they returned to their bath

After short pause the irrepressible

Again came the answer: ."Yes, dear,

The Public School.

The Kansas City Journal thus states
. view Of the broader function of the
public schools: "Of late years, par
ticularly here in Kansas City, it has
come to be recognized that education
Is as important in the building up OF
character as in the development OF the
brain. Character building, which was
formerly supposed to be the province
Of the home and the Sunday school,
Is now distinctive feature of the pub
lie schools. This is a very fortunate
thing for the coming generation; at
tendance at Sunday school is not as
general as it might be, and even then
Is limited to one day in, the week.
Moreover, the public school offers the
only opportunity for the development
Of character in many children whose
home environment is not of the best.
Too often the indifference or ignor-
Rnce of the parents reduces the child's
chances to grow in character at home
to negative quantity. And where
the parents lack character the child's
case is as hopeless as that stream
can rise above its source. Character
building in the public schools makes
for higher standard of citizenship
in the nation. tits Marrying out the
ideas Of the patriotic forefstners who
planned the country's institutions"

(Copyrisht, 1906, by m. Edson.)

Scripture Authority-"So Jacob came to
Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that
is, Bethel, he and all the people that were
with him. And he built there an altar, and
called the place El-beth-el; because there
God appeared unto him, when he fed from
the face OF his brother. But Deborah
Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried
beneath Bethel under an oak: and the
name of it was called Allonbachuth. And
God appeared unto Jacob again, when he
came out of Padan-aram, and blessed him.
And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob;
they name shall not be called any more
Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name; and
