The twenty-six places at the captains
table were filled and as the soup APP
peared the captain addressed his table

TOGO.

A Washington dispatch says that Ad'
miral Hehatchi Togo, the Japanese
Nelson,' who solved the destiny Of
the far east by smashing Admiral Ro-
~jestvensky's fleet, adding a defeat on
the seas to the successive Russian
land reverses, is the hero Of the hour
to the outside world, as well as to ia
pan.
The gallant naval commander who
made history today is a fit descendant
of the great fighting a C OF the Sat
suma Samurai. Since the beginning
of the wal he has been the naval hero
Of the Japanese forces. He fired the
first shot in the struggle for supremacy
in the orient, and was in direct COM
mand of the naval operations at Port
Arthur that ended in the downfall Of
the Russian stronghold. He stands
out today as the great figure in the g N
gagement that may have established
the final outcome of the war.
Admiral Togo was born October IA.

age, as are many of his fellow ofncers,
but of fighting stock, the son Of .
Samurai of the great Satsuma clan,

WAITING FOR THE END.
Green Policeman's Naive Explanation
to His Chief,


to His Chief.
There was appointed to the police
force Of Fawtucket about a dozen
years ago a well-known German resi-.
dent. At that time there was no pa
troll signal or telephone system. and
officers on their beats we're obliged
to communicate with police h%eadquar.
tiers by telephone at the nearest drug
store.
Bright and early one Monday morn
Ing the new German policeman report
ed for duty and was assigned to the
Pleasant View district. He had hard
ly mastered the English language. and
when he got excited the language was
broken into small pieces.
Along toward noon the officer was
called to a house on his beat where a
man had committed suicide by hang
ing. He viewed the suspended body,
and was as much frightened as n OF
those who had gathered. One Of the
woman neighbors expressed the belief
that the man was probably not dead,
and it would be a good idea to "cut
him down." as she expressed it.
The new police officer, by this time
thoroughly ratified, ran from the house
and sought the nearest drug store,
where he got into communication by
telephone with the police station. The
chief answered the call, and after
learning what the officer had seen, in
Quired, Have you cut the man down."

Presidents Honesty

Presidents Honesty
The undertaking honesty with which
President Roosevelt assails every evil,
and the candor with which he points
out to the public his aims and pur
poses is a constant source of amaze
ment and sometimes of chagrin, 10
the old school politician who always
supposed it was necessary to conceal
his purposes and deceive the people
with evasions and platitudes. And yet
the heartiness with which the Ameri-
car people stand ready to support the
president, in his every policy n the
promptness with which they espouse
the reforms he proposes and the unan-
unity with which they voted for him
last November is sufficient to demon
strate that the old methods are OBJ
solete and the new are worthy Of the
emulation of every man in public life.

PEACE AT HAND.

Togo's victory in the straits of
Korea insure peace in the near future.
With his fleet practically annihilated,
OQama's armies pressing his weary,
disheartened troops on every hand,
and the nihilists and re~volutionists
threatening a reign of terror at home,
the czar is in sore distress and his
government is lettering. 1t would ap-
peace and a constitutional government
are the only things that can save his
throne from fall.
Should The car be foolish enough
TO continue the var at any sacrifice,
he could doubtless raise armies, for
there are many millions of subjects
they look upon as the representative
of God, the head of the church and the
personification of all that is good and
holy. But there is another and a
greater stumbling block. The finan-
cial men of Europe will hesitate to
loan their money for the prosecution
Of a lost cause. They will withdraw
their financial aid and the Russian
throne will be compelled through lack
Of money to withdraw the armies of
Linevitch from the far east and leave
Korea and Manchuria to the Jap.
The settlement with the mikado
will be the most bitter pill for the car
to swallow. The expense thus far at.
tached to the gathering, equipment
and fighting of the armies of Japan
has doubtless not been far from one
thousand millions of dollars. This
bill will Of couse have to be paid by
the %vanquished foe, and he will also be
compelled to pay an indemnity of pos
sibly five hundred millions more, be
sides Withdrawing entirely from Man
churia and leaving that country and
Korea to the control of the Jap. Fur
Their than this it is hard at this tim
to predict, but it is more than possible
that the influence of the mikado will
be thrown over all of China as we'll
and his government will have a vas'
influence in shaping the policies Of
the nations of the earth. There car
be no question, in view of the events
Of the past year, as to his ability ir
handling affairs of state, and he Ger
tainly has the military power to bacl
his wisdom.
In the orient the Jap is in the fore
ground; the Russian empire will bt
compelled to undergo another lont
period of regeneration. If the CA
has the power to overcome the pres
ent adverse conditions that exist IL
his domain and give to the people tol
Grafton. education and a government
fit for human beings, his throne ma,
live for centuries, but If he continues
to rule with despotic and autocrati'
power. absolutism will be replaced b.
republicanism.

Thos who have investigated to

opinion that many kinds of grain
would grow in the big hollow to the

They have noted the %luxuriance of the

where grass will grow without irriga,
