CANE TOO LATE.

One of the saddest things that has
come to the notice of The Wageworker
since it's establishment Is the case of
a Lincoln young lady who has been
dumb for thirteen years. Three days
after leap year expired her voice re-
turned to her.

The Clock.

The ceaseless clock still spins the threa d
That knows no break but for the dead.
Its hands forever onward haste;
Sigh not, lover, for the past.
Each minutes new, strange each hour:
The past to you shall come no more.
The hours gone no more shall be;
They live alone in memory.
Hope forever; love will last.
Sigh not, lover, for the past.

Tho Cost of Impatience,

In the impatient mood we are apt
to spend far more than is required in
the doing Of our work. and the excess
is lost We cannot estimate the value
of the power thus misplaced When
the impatient mood becomes the habit
of lifetime you can understand that
failure, and perhaps loss of health and
energy, are inevitable.-Emily S. Bou
ton, in Magazine of Mysteries

Nice Rooms each
CLEANLINESS

Build children's rooms so that
nicely of personal habits may be
easily possible. Children are such
lazy little things that cleanliness
must be made easy for them.
Many women keep their children
exquisitely .'clean in early child
hood, and then, strangely enough.
seem oblivious of the one or two
baths week regime into which
they slip as soon as they begin to
care for themselves. Personal ex-
quisiteness is such delight and
the absence of it is such a cross
that it is worth making great
sacrifices in the ornamentation
of your house to start your child
rem on the right path. Until the
habit is formed. children will not
be- clean if it involves great in
convenience and trouble. They
will not battle frequently if bath
rooms are unwarmed, if the sup
ply of warm water is inadequate,
or if there is difficulty in get
ting turn at the bathtub. -Eliz-

Actual Worb of Peace.

Portsmouth. N. H., Special.-Actual
work of drafting the treaty OF Ports
mouth began Wednesday. II is being
done by Mr.. De Martens and Mr.. Den
nison, acting as legal advisors for the
respective sides. While the bases OF
peace have been accepted by the pien'
ipotentiaries, considerable detail re-
mains to be worked out in the elabora-
ton of the articles of the treaty. This
is especially true In regard to the ar
ticles dealing with the Chinese East
ern Railway, and the surrender OF the
leases OF the LiaoTung peninsula ana
Port Arthur and Talienwan tDalny)
Mr.. PokotilofY, the Russian minister to
Pekin, who was formerly manager OF
the Russo Chinese Bank at Pekfn, and
who has intimate knowledge OF all the
details relating TO these matters, IL
assisting Mr.. De Martens.
A very anomalous situation exists as
to the impression created by the con-
clusion of peace While the outside
world applauds, In japan there is ev-
identity great disappointment In the
terms. and in Russia, wehere 1t
would seem that there should be uni
versal rejoicing over the great dipio-
matte victory Mr.. Witte has won. the
government seems TO have received II
coldly.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1905-09-07
The Cost.

Russia had In Manchuria in Febru-
ary, 1904, $4,000 men.
She has since sent out to the front.
$50, 900 men.
Japan is said to have modified near
ly 100000 men.
Total force engaged since the out
break of the war (abouD 1.540. 600
men.
OF these the killed, permanently dis
abled and invalided home have been
computed at 625.000; 375,000 Russians
and 5000 japanese.
Japan has suffered the loss OF only
one prominent officer, Commander
Oda; the Russian officers of rank
killed are Count Keller General Rut-
kovsky, Smolensky, Rialinkin, Tserpit-
sy, Kondratshenko, Commander Ste
panofi and Admirals Makaroff, Molas.
Voslkersham and Without.
In money, according to figures pub
lished in The Gazette, OF st. Petersburg,
the war has cost Russia 0ncluding
property destroyed) $1,075. 100000
On the 9Th of June 1t was estimated
at Toxic that the cost to japan had
been close in the neighborhood OF 49,
0O0, 900.
Bringing the total money cost (at
the agreement to peace parleys) to $f,-
$50, ,000, 900.

The Results.

/. Japan has reacquired control of
Korea, establishing a protectorate. and
appointing an American. Durham
Waite Stevens. as advisor to the En-
peror, VI Heui.
2. Japan has regalned possession Of
Port Arthur and the Lio-Tung penin-
sula and has forced the return of Man
churia to China with open doors" for
the trade of the world. Japan also ac-
quired the northern half of Sakhalin
island.
8. International law has gained a
cleared knowledge than has before
been had OF what constitutes contra
band of war" and to what lengths a
naval officer may properly go In the
right to search" Both Of these ad-
vances were made largely through the
prompt diplomacy OF the late Secreta-
ry of State Hay.
4. Russia certainly will not get on
the Pacific coast the "ice-free port"
for which she has SO long been looking.

banking interests are of the opinion
that the treaty of peace between Rus
sia and Japan will soon be followed by
a Russian loan and with another later
by Japan. The extent of the loans will
depend largely upon the provisions of
the agreement between the two coun-
make liberal compensation to Japan,
although this may be provided for in
separate understanding. 1t is known
that Russia has made all preparations
for placing part of a loan here, and it

the American ambassador, had an
audience with the Emperor at Peter
hof Wednesday afternoon, which last
ed three hours. Presumably the mat
ter of peace was discussed at length,
but nothing can be ascertalned at
present regarding what actually
took place, as the embassy declines
to give out any statement. 1t is known,
however, that long cablegram has
been sent to Washington giving the
results of the conference. The Emper-
or attended the manoeuvres in the
morning, and returned to~Peterhof just
in time to receive Mr.. Meyer.
