Occasion ally he comes to "the store" for supplies, and bears them away up to his lonely birch-bark shelter at the top of a steep hill. the sack of flour resting on his back fastened by a strap passing over his forehead. There are few full blood Indians who, however much they may understand, profess to speak no Eng fish; the men tall and thin. the women stout. And there is goodly number of small children. some of them reminding me of Japanese babies used to know; the same stiff black hair. the narrow bright eyes. the dear little round faces. In arbutus time they bring tight-tied punches of these pink and white posies to the train. and quickly dispose of their fragrant wares; in summer. the Indian kiddies offer to the travelling public wa ter lilies. and later on tufts of Princes pine and punches of wintergreen ber- ries.

Some of them are half-breeds. some French Canadians. many just Cana dians. and there may be few Yankees. We are often told of the roysterings of the lumber jacks. but it were we'll to dwell sometimes on other aspects of their lives; their skill in woodcraft-it is fine to watch them at work; and there is no little entertainment in listening to their hunting tales when the days work is over and they have gathered round the campfire for smoke and rest. X poor north-woods lumber jack is he that has not shot at least one bear. Of the deer hunting they say less-the birds might carry word to the game warden.

as soon as it gets little warmer shall turn my back on the unsightly city thawing and seek better things some 400 miles to the north. A few years ago l believed in the poet that sang of jour- neying south to meet the spring, but eX- perience has taught me a better way journeying north.
 Depressed by Chicago's annual strug- gle to throw off winters grasp, chilled to the marrow by the dampness that permeates everything. eager to get away from slush and the black ugliness in which the city is buried, run away from it all; take Northwestern night train, and when open my eyes in the morning, To! am in new land, new world. A world that, in spite of the white snow patches here and there, has about 1t much more tangible promise of spring than the country south.
 '.frth night + had feit-an -adyied chill in the air as the swift wheels bore on to- wards Lake Superior. and had drawn up . discarded blanket; but when I arose and looked out upon such brilliant sun, such dry earth. knew that, no matter what the thermometer said, it was not such shivery spot as the one had quilted. And when left the train at the little station of Solon Springs, found evidences not a few that the season was farther advanced here than in Cook county.
 Imagine prowling in the woods and marshes about Chicago the first of April Ugh!
 But practically live in the woods when I spend the early spring days in the north country. To be sure. the nights and early mornings are decidedly cold, but it is the days that are delight full. The wonderful dryness makes spring so pleasant, the sandy soil in a twinkling disposing of melting snow

MAMMOTH OUTDOOR zoo.

Plan to Improve Forest Reserves
 About Pasadeaa, Cal.
 A number of millionaires in Pasa- dena, Cal, have unique scheme for improving the forest reserves of that section, which if successfully worked out may attract the eyes of the coun- try, says a Pasadena correspondent of the Los Angeles Times. The project is for the establishment of a game sane tuary," in which will be introduced wild animals from Africa and other far away countries whose climates cor respond somewhat with that of south. ern California.
 A short time ago Macomber, who is the son-in-law of l.. V. Hardness, the Standard oil magnate, took several of his friends on a trip of investigation in the wilds that may be populated along lines suggested above. Several of the party were quite enthusiastic over the project. The enterprise has been sub mitted to T. P. Lukens, the indefatiga- ble forester, who is an agent for the government. Lukens may take 1t up with Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot. Those back of the plan say they are willing to start the deal along with the expenditure of $1OO0O0 or so if the government will grant them privileges. Not only will they stock the mountains within certain limit with all sorts of animals, pheasants and the like, but they will plant thousands of trees at their own expense and contribute ex- tensively to the maintenance of this mammoth private park
 Fred Burnham. who is thinking the project over, is man of long expert ence with African game. He was scout in the Boer war and earned worldwide fame besides recognition by the English government for his serv- Ices against the Matabele warriors a few years ago. Macomber has had ex. perience also in Africa both in war and hunting. The men interested, however, do not intend to make hunting ground of the mountains, but rather a mammoth outdoor zoo.

UP TO DATE IGORROTES.

Party From St. Louis Had Trunks, OvercOnts and Alarm Clocks. A letter from Lieutenant Walter Martin of the Second cavalry. station ed 19O miles from Manila, recently re- ceived by his St. Louis relatives, tells how his command encountered Chief Antonio and his band of Igorrotes at Bangar, fresh from the Louisiana Pur- chase exposition, says St. Louis dis patch.
 we certainly were surprised at the appearance of the bunch, Lieutenant Martin writes. we hadn't been to the worlds fair and had no idea how it would change them. We expected to see the same scantily clad Igorrotes we had frequently met on the trail to Ba- guio But these fellows had trunks ga- lore. They also wore overcoats of i'm mense thickness. They had almost ev- cry imaginable variety of toy and alarm clocks in profusion. They seem- ed to be the favorite piece of luggage. as the Igorrotes were particularly solic- itous about them
 "They crowded around and told us about St. Louis. St. Louis very fine place. they said. Lots of people. but very much cold
 "We inquired about St. Louis dogs.
 "'Lots dugs, there.' they replied. Much big dug-too big, too much hair.'"
 0yama Parasols For Our Women.
 It would seem Japan was busy enough with her war not to care fig whether there were any new spring styles for American women. But the little Japs are making such easy work of trouncing the bear that they have plenty of time to devise beautiful new fashions that we shall borrow grate- fully for our summer wardrobe says writer in the New York Press. Our parasols. for Instance, are to be strict ly Japanese. and somebody has bestow- cd the name Oyamas upon them, possi- ply because the sun of success shines upon that general. They are fashioned like the paper sunshades that we have used so largely for decorative purposes. only the material is silk or the wonder full brocade for which the country is famous. Now that several American women are clipping their eyebrows in the Japanese manner it will be a temp tation on summer days to peep around the edges of these lowered. bedragoned parasols to see how complete a picture may greet us

Not Guilty of Bribery
CHEERS GREET DECISION
Testimony of Former Lieu
tenant Governor Fails to
Bring About a Conviction

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Aug. Estate
Senator Frank H. Farris was to-day ac-
quilted by jury in the Circuit Cour,
on a charge of bribery in connection with
a bill introduced at the State Legislature
in 1901 to repeal the statute prohibiting
the. use of alum in the manufacture of
baking powder. commonly known as the
ALUM bill"
The jury retired to consider a verdict
al 9:33 last night. The first ballot re-
suited eight for acquittal and four for
conviction. The same result continued
on subsequent ballots and the jury was
locked up for the night at 1880.
At 8:25 this morning word came from
the jury room that a verdict had been
reached and Judge Davis convened spe-
cial session of court to hear the result.
The acquittal was greeted with cheers
by the friends of Senator Farris and the
latter was warmly congratulated.
The trial had lasted for a week, the
principal testimony for the State being
that of former Lieutenant Governor John
A. Lee, on whose testimony belore the
Grand Jury indictments were returned
against Farris and former Senator c. a.
Smith. 1t was arranged to-day that the
application for change of venue in the
case of Smith be withdrawn, as 1t Is re-
garded that the acquittal of FarriS pre-
cludes the possibility of conviction in
the Smith case, as the charges in each
instance were identical. The Smith case
will be taken up before Judge Martin
and it is announced will be dismissed by
the State.

CUNNERY WINS
NAVAL FIGHTS
japanese Naval Expert Ex-
presses Opinion in Accord
ance With That of Dewey
LESSONS FROM BATTLE
Commander Akyama Favors
Big Ironclads as Against
the Smaller War Craft

TOXIC. Aug. 6.-Commander Akyama,
who participated in the battle of Japan.
has prepared for publication an extended
statement relating to the great conflict,
and its weight is on the side of gunnery,
the battleships and tactics as against the
destroyer and the torpedo.
He prefaces his statement by declaring
that good gunnery depends mainly upon
the division officers and asserts that the
Russian officers were lamentably lacking
In training.
In the early part of the battle the Rus
slams scored but one hit to three landed
by the Japanese. Under these circum-
stances it may be said that the Japanese
had three or four guns in action to every
one of the Russians, and there was moth
ing very remarkable about the disparity
in the losses
The admiral says that Admiral Rojest-
vensky had been criticized for electing
TO take his chances at the Tushima. On
the contrary, ii was the wisest course
open to him. Tsugara Strait Is long and
narrow, the season was foggy and there
were mechanical distractions. Distance
and coal were against Soya and the time
consumed in reaching that entrance
would have betrayed the design. and his
plight on emerging from Soya would have
been much worse than he might reason
ably hope for at Tushfma.
RegarQlnS the question OF SINKING ar
mored cruisers and battleships by gun
fire. the commander expresses the opinion
that the fact that the Russian ships were
exceptionally low in the water contribut-
ed materially to the result. The Rus
slams carried large quantities of COAL
stores and ammunition. and, thus weight
ed down and in a rough sea, suffered
badly from hits near the water line that
ordinarily would not have been fatal.
The commander says that the battle
did not as some claim, prove the SUI
perfority of arms to armor. He points
out that the newest armor on the Rus
sian ships, notably In the case of the
Orel, was not pierced.
Okyama defends Neboga toff's surrender
from severe criticism. Nebogatoff was
surrounded by twenty-seven ships, in
cluding the most powerful of Togo's feet.
Had the Russian refused to surrender his
ships would have been sunk forthwith.
Five or ten minutes would have sufficed
TO finish the unpleasant task. Any other
course than surrender would have con-
demned the needless death of 1000 officers
and men
Accurate estimates of the actual Rus
sian casualties are impossible to obtain.
but they are far under first estimates.
The rescued and surrendered exceed
1000 and, making due allowances for those
who escaped in the Almaz, Lazumrud,
Orel, Aurora, Jemtchug and the aux
iliaries, the number actually lost is some
where between 2900 and 5000.
