or the lost stranger tothe farm house was recalled. It was
~remembered that the team that the man drove looked like
Todd sand the dog that followed resembled his. A
month after the murdered man was found the same dog
returned from the south and went to the scene of the
crimet bowling for his murdered master. Convinced
that the murderer had gone south, and knowing that FL
mer Young, an escaped convict who with his brothers

John was held, Gernald and the old man being dis
charged. The evidence OF the man at the farmhouse that

but the state now claims to have more evidence.

 William Zeigler left his son some thing like S30,000.000, and his wife q yearly income of S50,0OO. Most of this was made from baking powder. and baking powder is an article that has been well advertised. The moral of this story is too obvious.-Meriden Journal.
 Some extraordinary bets have been made on the Japanese Russian war. A number of Japanese officers have bet that they would be killed ill battle. The money was to go to their widows. One officer on starting for the front made the following wager: If he were killed within month his heirs were to re- ceive $500. After that he was to pay his opponent 10 yen (s5) day until he had survived 100 days. after which the bet was to cease. He undertook to eX- pose himself to danger only when mill tary conditions demanded it; ill other words. he would not wilfully let him. self be killed-Norwich Record.
 Mayor Dunne was quite right in his decision not to place Chicago under martial law until driven to the act by the eXigencies of the case. It was his duty to rely upon the police until they had obviously demonstrated their in ability to cope with the riotous ele- ments among the strikers. There has been no occasion. however. when they have done so and Chicago's mayor was we'll within his rights in refusing the call for troops. He is. as he should be. impartial between the contending forces as long as law and order are maintained. As for the criticism of the Team Owners union it will be talk en for what it is worth by impartial obseryers.-New Britain Herald

President Roosevelt regards railway rate legislation as even more important than tariff readjustment, it is said, and this is doubtless true, but is not the postponement of the special session a yielding on this important issue: It may not be. It is possible that tine yield to the influence of the leaders of his party but those who fully appre- ciate the magnitude of the struggle he has undertaken in this direction fear that he will have to content himself with very little remedial railway legis- lation. And meanwhile, "the tariff hogs will have all four feet in the trough to use his own expressive metaphor. while the consumers will be absolutely unable to secure the beauti- ful square deal" He himself has said that they cannot get a square deal in the absence of the adjustment of the tariff schedules to the changed condi- tions.

If President Roosevelt can promote
 peace between Russia and Japan no
 one will begrudge him the credit be
 will gain by helping to stop the ter rife human slaughter which has char
 acterized the Russo-Japanese war. ! Tisre are many diplomats who believe all the presidents efforts. however
 well intentioned, will come to naught. Count Cassini has outlined the position of Russia to few friends. He main tains, says our Washington correspon- dent, that Russia has nothing more 10 lose. If she were to make peace now she would have to yield the neutrality of Manchuria, acknowledge Japan's suzerainty of Corea, grant the neutral ity of vladivostock. and pay an enor- nous indemnity besides. If Russia continues to fight. Japan may in thc course of time drive her from Man churia. capture Vladivostock. and bc in a position to insist on her suzefain- ty of Corea, but by the time all this has been accomplished by brute force. Japan's fighting will have been ex- hausted and she will have to quit fighting without any indemnity what ever. Of course the humanitarian side of the argument has no force with Russia. Her moujEks. or peas ants. are cheap. and a few hundre,I thousand. more or less. are of no mo ment to the czar and the war party which dominates his actions. Count C8ssini. for obvious reasons. does not state that Russia is afraid to quit fighting or ro accept peace at the hu- milidting terms which Japan would prescribe. Russia. that is. her grand dukes. fear the officers who would re- turn from Nanchuria and Siberia. and perhaps the men. They have learned tco much of the oblizarchy which has furnished them cheap ammunition. worthless guns. rotten food. etc. and has grown rich by the transactions. and the grand dukes appreciate that the coming home of the troops means their own doom

The death of Representative Marsh
 of Illinois, which occurred a few days
 ago. removes picturesque figure from
 the floor of the house, says a Washing ton writer. During the eight years he
 served Mir Marsh endeared himself to his colleagues by his kindly though somewhat brusque manner. A mill tary man. he served from 1861 to 1866. retiring as colonel of the second Illinois cavalry, he took the keenest interest in military matters before the house. and was at one time a member of the con- mittee on military affairs and chair man of the committee on militia. These positions he surrendered as his health grew poorer and latterly confin- ed his energies to his work on the ap- propriations committee. His death will thus leave vacant one of the most desirable berths in the house. As he succeeded Uncle Joe" Cannon on that committee and the place has been held for years by member from Illinois, it is more than probable Speaker Cannon will give the vacaney,to to one of his fel- low members from that state. especial ly as the retirement of Chairman Hem- enway to enter the senate. leaves an- other vacancy on the committee. In this case it would not be surprising if Representative Grafr succeeds Mir Marsh. should he care 70 give up his chairmanship of the committee on claims. where his services have been in line with Speaker Cannon's ideas of justice and economy.

What constitutes a cultivated personality?" asks
OF the Chicago American; and another What
is it that ups character and beauties conduct7 The
answer both questions he found in the advice
Buddha gave his pupils 500 years before Christ
born: DO nothing another that you would have
done you and by Christs improved rendition of the
motto; DO unto others you would that they should
do to you" There is higher phase of culture, and
there is nothing which beaues conduct and character
like the practical and perpetual use Of the Golden Rule
in daily life
The majority Of people regard the keeping OF the Ten
Commandments a literal ulfment of that rules obl-
cations; but who comprehends its entire meaning
realizes that it applies every trivial Of daily life
and necessitates culture as well morality. The loud,
jarring voice the uncontrolled temper the neglect
bodily cleanliness and disregard of dressa these things
break the Golden Rule because they what we
would wish others to do therefore we have right rs
