Washington. Feb awhile no official
Information has reached Washington OF
the British German exchanges prelim-
mary to an entente to bring about peace
in the far east, there is no disposition
on the part Of those interested 10 ques-
tlon the accuracy Of the news.
Doubt, however Is expressed in influ-
entail quarters that the efforts Of the
German emperor will have the outcome
which he apparently desires.
This feeling is based on knowledge that
recent negotiations initiated by Germany
IN connection with other important sub
jects nave not been received with that
encouragement which might have been
expected.
That the kaiser proposed an Anglo
German understanding to end the war
IS not regarded in Washington win any
great surprise. Had tho initiative been
taken. however. by any other European
government or sovereign sensa tion
would doubtless have followed the an
nouncement OF the fact.
Emperor William has been exceedingly
active recently I'm directing International
exchanges on a variety Of subjects, and
Il Is considered as quite probable that
he contempates an effort that viii lead
TO the establishment OF peace between
Russia and Japan and at the same time
would affect the French Russian a...ance.
WILL HOLD ALOOF
Even II urged TO join I'm any movement
for international Intervention the United
States government would not consent,
not only on account OF it's policy 10 avoid
foreign alliances but for the more imme-
date reason that II consistently adheres
20 the principle OF non-interference be-
tween two beligerent nations with which
81 maintains friendly relations unless in
vited by both beligcrcnts 10 do so.
No such invitation has been extended
On the contrary Russia has made Il
known to all the powers. including the
United States. that any attempt on their
part 10 end the war by tender OF their
good Offices or otherwise, would be re-
garded by the Russian government as an
unfriendly act
Japan has expressed a willingness 20
accept the mediatory services of any
neutral power whenever Russia showed
Ike willingness. but has not indicated a
willingness 10 take the luiuatve herself.
In view Of the attitude assumed by tho
two warning countries the government OF
tho United States intends 20 hold strictly
aloof from any effort to secure peace.

ia as the autumn brings FORTH
such cool, pleasant days in
which to loiter and study what is be-
ing worn, what is to be worn.
Well, we are going to have wonder
full colors this season, never were they
more attractive. They are not vivid,
and they certainly are not colorless.
faddy season it is to be, but the
shades will not be so delicate es the
pastel tones of recent fashion.
What are the new shades? There
are dull, dark blues, dim plums and
the raspberry tints. What are the ma
terials? Velvets and broadcloths are
to have great vogue, and our old friend
henrietta cloth. The duly fady tones
are beautiful in this latter fabric, and
it is sure to be in high favor. Chiffon
and mousseline de sole will be very
popular for evening gowns. And there
we are with this diversified fashion
knowledge to go by-thick velvets and
broadcloth and soft wool daytimes,
thin stuffs for evening.
The henrietta may be made up in sim
pie shirt-waist dresses, and equally well
| in more elaborate afternoon gowns
When chosen for the latter costume, it
should be made with a full, all-round
skirt, and a chemisette and mitten
cuffs of Irish crochet TO give a dressy
! touch. Although worn by every wom-
an one meets, the chemisette and I'M
dcrsleeve accessory promises to re-
main in mode
Poplins and Panama cloth will have
vogue, too following the costlier fab
RIGS which they initiate. 1t is thought

rather than show contrast. Velvet
| trimmings are almost always becoming
as we'll as rich in effect, and we are

when black in any other 'laterial
would be very trying, and the softness
of velvet makes many colors possible

jected.
Concerning wraps. There is sep

and full, the fullness much greater in

continue to suffer rather than submit

clans propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease; and this is the rea-
son why SO many physicians fail to

This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are corre-

Mass. To her they can confide every
detail of their illness, and from
her great knowledge, obtained from
years of experience in treating female
ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise women
more wisely than the local physician.

T. C. Willadsen, of Manning, Ia. She
writes:
II can truly say that you have saved my

AND JOHN GOT HIS PLACE.
His Better Half Was to the Fore and
Brought Things Her
Way.

Three hundred motormen, gatemen, etc.,
were in the line in and near the offices of
the Interborougn Railway company trying
to get their old jobs back when large
and square-j jawed wife led her husband
past them ALL No one dared resist her,
says the New York World, though many
of the men had been waiting for hours.
"My husband wants to go back to
work." said the woman. Hes platform

of Mr.. Hedley's assistants.
Not one minute. l wouldn't hear of

her jaws.

Norris.
Yes" snapped the lady. "John, you
reported, didn't your
'No.o-o!" admitted the man, timidly.,
WHAT cried the wife. Then you dis
obeyed orders"
Yes" the poor man answered. "The
fact is, the strikers wouldn't let me go up
the stairs to the station. i tried every
day, but they dragged me back"
II 'mph I'd like to see 'em drag me-"
snorted the lady. "I'd just like to see EN-!

Mr.. Norris started as if he had touched
the third rail.
"Er-oh-oh-yes, madaml Oh, certainly!

anime him.

And the old man, stopping for a mo-
ment to rest himself against chair,
saw the boy rub the sleeve OF his faded
shirt hard across his eyes,
Twice he did this, and then grandfa-
ther realized that the boy was crying,
just as he sometimes did since Maggie
died, sitting and crying silently by him
self, making no appeal to others to
share the sorrow which seemed all his
own.
But what would make a boy cry?
His wife had not died and left him
all alone in world which he no long
er cared for.
Mebby, now, he was hungry.
Cy's wife was sometimes close with
the boy in the matter of his victuals.
Hello, Jimmy" the old man called,
trying to throw note of gayety into
his cracked voice just as he used to
long ago when Maggie was tired or
things had gone wrong about the house.
jimmy looked up and smiled and then
II was plain even without the aid from
the glasses, which were hopelessly lost
for the time upon the top of GRANDPA
theirs head, that the boy had been cry
ing, and crying hard.
With groan for his rheumatic knees,
grandfather settled himself upon the
step beside the sorrowful little figure,
while as he did so the touch of the
warm, childish limbs stirred memories
asleep for years, and a sense of power
crept into the dim mind accustomed so
long to another's sway.
Whats the matter with you,
Jimmy?" he said, more firmly than the
boy had ever before heard him speak,
and knotted tremulous hand dropped
upon the struggling hair which fell
across the tear-stained cheeks
Jimmy gave convulsive sniff.
There was that in the old mans voice
which unlocked the flood gates of his
grief. and whole volume of childish
