the Russian plan Of reorganization ana
reinforcement Of its Manchurian arm
les with an extensive expedition from
its own military organization. De-
tails and figures are carefully conceal
ed. bu, 1t is reliably estimated by aut-
umn next the total military organi-

ally employed in the field. The fight
ing force is roughly estimated at 70O.-
900 men, with the increase largely IN
infantry and artillery, altho enlarge

contemplated.
As result OF manufacture at the ar

artillery superior to that of Russian,
IN quality as well as numerically, and

will he incapable OF overcoming these
numerical disadvantages. Wherever
railway improvements are possible
they will be carried out, when Japan

written with a prophetic vision. Very

the propositions as though they be-

of an Iowa judge who failed to receive
his usual pass and asked about it only
to have his attention called to the fact

against the railroad. He explained that
his decision was just and SOON receiv-

SIGNED WITH THUMB MARKS.
Petition to Government Bears Imprint
Of 3,514 Indian Fingers.


Minneapolis, Mimi, April 11.-Major
Mclaughlin inspector of Indian agen-
cies, is on his way to Washington with
the signatures of 1914 Sioux Indians
done in thumb marks. Major Nc
I.aughlin passed thru Minneapolis with
the document and is confident that it
will make sensation at the depart
ment of state.
The signatures, however, were not
accumulated for spectacular effect, but
stand as a memorial to the government
from the Standing Rock agency ask
ing for the division of 100000 acres
of land. The land was granted to
them in 1899, but has not been divid-
ed In the past the noble red man has
been considered above guile, but it
has been discovered that when it
comes to a land deal Uncle Sam is
likely to suffer unless every precau-
ton is taken. AS all Indians look more
or less alike the unique method of TAX
ing their signatures was decided upon.

A Natural Mistake.

1t was a hot, still July day, when
we unfortunates left in town fairly
gasped for breath, and sat in darkened
rooms and airy garments, so / was
rather surprised to hear that Louisa
was in the kitchen with a bundle, ask
ing for me. Louisa was a smart little
maid we employed to do washing and
scrubbing at odd times, a quaint little
blond person, with an accent inherited
from her German mother who had act
ed as substitute for Louisa once or
twice when she was busy elsewhere.
Louisa was the daughter of her moth
er's first husband OF late Louisa had
had no one to take her place, and had
informed us the week before in high
glee that she had now baby brother.
We asked her to bring him to zee us
when h&Mas old enough, and here she
was already with the infant on this
awful day.
isn't he very warmly wrapped up?"
I asked, as Louisa came in with
bundle of shawls in her arms, and her
round, rosy face shining with perspir-
alton.
"Oh, MOI He's so little he has to be
wrapped up good" she answered, and
removed shawl No. l from the bundle.
Still the baby was not visible, and my
sister seized my arm in alarm.
Harriet! the poor little thing will be
smothered! How awful to swaddle
it up like that in this weather."
ooh, he don't mind, ma'am. It's good
for him." smiled Louisa, and took off
the last covering. With cries of hor-
ror we started back. The child was
a deep copper color, with his eyes
closed and his little fists clenched.
"Good heavens! He is smothered."
I cried, snatching the infant from his
sisters arms and rushing to the Win
dow in the hope of raviving him.
That's all right, Miss Harriet" re-
assured Louisa. much amused at our
excitement. Hes always like that.
