The baronet could not fail to note
the manner in which these two ad-
dressed each other, the fearless love
which leaped from eye to eye, the calm
acceptance of relationship not to be
questioned or gainsaid. Robert and
Iris, without spoken word on the SUBJ

slightest semblance of subterfuge as
unworthy alike of their achievements
and their love.

Scotchmen are fond of an argument,
and delight to find flaws in an oppo-
nent's logic. Two blacksmiths were
once conversing as to which was the
first trade in the world. One insisted
that it must have been gardening, and
quoted from Genesis: adam was put
into the garden Of Eden to dress it
and keep it." "Aye, john" retorted the
other, who had stood up for his own
trade, ''but wha made the spades?'

His Victories.

-coIes to Navy Of Japan 60 Safeguard
His Victories.
| This Is an unusual and extraordi-
fary picture of Oyama, field marshal
of Japan 1t was taken in 1894, just
after the great Japanese general had
made his first capture of Port Arthur
an event he doubtless little thought
he would be called upon to repeat ten
Jears later.
Oyama is quite a philosopher about
the manner in which his pictures get
into the public press and the many
curious stories printed of his life. OF
this he recently said to an American
writer who was visiting him in Japan:
Variety of Stories
Il have been accused of having
been born in almost every nation of
the earth.
Let me see-in 1894, when we were
having our war with China and I was
learning a great many things that
come valuable now. a London news
paper, represented over here by gen.
tleman whom I knew, seriously pub
ished several columns of matter show
ing that 1 had been born in Switzer-
land of a German mother and French
father.
q could hardly complain of such a
distinguished honor except that it de
prived Japan of any credit there may
Rave been in my birth; but in Japan
if so improbable a story were set afloat
| am afraid the gentleman who gave
lublicity to it would never write
sgain.
would he be sentenced to death
Now, l can't say as to that-there are
punishments worse than death, 1 be-
lieve.
Zone of the funniest things, though,
that 1 ever saw about myself in print
made me Chinese by birth and stated
with much show of seeming facts that
il my early days 1 had become a ban
dit in the interior of China, and that I
was so desperate and famed for my
deeds that the Japanese government
in search for military genius Undue
ed me to abandon my evil ways and
income a patriot.
Il suppose if one were able to col
lect all that is printed about him in
the press into one book he would have
grave doubts in his mind as to just
where he was born or who his parents
were"
About Future Wars.
At the time of this conversation
Oyama, not yet having fought the
second battle of Port Arthur and the

As He Looked in 1904 When Fighting
China.
Manchurian campaign, made some re-
marks about future wars that read
very entertainingly now. He said:
mo matter what the outcome of the
struggle just beginning between my
country and Russia, the great often
sive and defensive of the Orient of the
future will lie in navies. Once the
land rights of the different govern
ments here are settled, the armies in
my opinion will sink back to small
proportions and be maintained on just
about the same basis as is that of the
United States.
But there will be a great advance
in naval work and the construction of
ships. 1t will soon be possible for
shipyards to be in operation here, and
the navies be built here rather than
abroad. We Lave all the raw ma
terials close at hand, and we have the
engineers and mechanics developing
who will equal, 1 feel, the best found
in the West
The coming naval power of the
Orient will extend from the Red Sea
to Boring Sea, and will have an enor-
nous coast line to cover and protect.
as well as a great commerce to en-
courage. 1 do not look for many fu-
ture great wars, but such as are I am
inclined to think will be fought out on
the high seas and be of short dura-
ton.
Japan does not wish for more war
Japan profoundly desires peace.
The commercial and industrial in
stinct is awake in Japan, and our peo-
pie would rather work than fight, so
long as we can do the former with
honor"
Oyama has grown thick-set and
chunky since 1894, but is said to be
active on his feet and of great physi-
cal strength and powers of endurance.

How to Earn Sound Sleep.

All doctors are not so careful OF
the welfare of their patients as they
might be- Here is a story of one who
went to the limit He is the proprie-
tor of a famous health resort not far
from ---. When he receives a pa
tient for treatment he says:
Nov, 1 want it understood that I'M
less you do exactly as I say, there is
no use Of your staying"
This rule sometimes requires him to
be very harsh, but he never hesitates.
He acts on the theory that he can bet
ter afford to offend single patient
and lose him that to have that pa
tient go back home and tell his friends
DIR. So-and-So had done him no good,
relates the Washington Star.
Not long ago a well-known clergy
man went to this resort for treatment.
The doctor looked him over upon his
arrival and said:
while you are here you must take
long walks every day.
But l can't take walks replied
the parson. 81 haven't done any walk
ing for years. My heart won't stand
it"
They argued the question quite
warmly. AS the clergyman and doc
tor were good friends, the latter was
more lenient than usual. However,
he bided his time. The next after
noon the physician said to the clergy
man:
Its nice day. 1 would like you
tc go horseback riding with me-
Riding they went. When they were
about eight miles from the sanitarium
the physician said: "Oh, doctor, won't
you get me that flower by the road
side? l don't like to leave this
hcrse."
AS soon as the clergyman was on
the ground the doctor galloped off
with both horses, and the clergyman
was compelled to walk back to the
sanitarium. Upon his arrived he was
very angry, and was for packing up
and leaving at once. There was no
train that night, so he was forced to
stay few hours longer. The next
morning he came down radiant and
good natured.
Doctor" said he, 81 was pretty
sore at you last night, but I forgive
everything. 1 have had the first good
sleep 1 have enjoyed in months. Here
after I'll obey your order implicitly"

EFFECTS OF PROSPERITY.

In the six years of the country s
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1903,
average prices of breadstuffs advanced
65 per cent, meats 23-1 per cent, dairy
and garden products SOL per cent,
and clothing PAL. All these were prod
ucts of the farmer and stockman who
profited more than any other class of
the community by these advances
The miner benefited 42.1 per cent by
that advance in the average price Of
metals. The only decrease in the
average prices of commodities in that
period was in railway freight rates
which decreased from 1913 per ton
mile in 1897 to 1853 in 1903, loss
of "A per cent. The report Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission shows
that the average increase in the pay
of railroad employees in the period was

extensively as in India, where about
5000, 900 acres are irrigated. Egypt

human race. Irrigation is new in Aus
