than good wine.
Thee is nothing doing up there, but
it is believed that when Togo gets mixed
I'D v with Neverwnski he will knock
him out the first dash out of the box
1t was reported recently that Never
winski was sick; too sick to 60 on to|
the end of his course, but, as it is SAID,
it is a canard which in French stands
for duck, but permit me to say it is a
bluff which wont work on Togo. Togo
is up-to- snuff, and don't you forget it.
1t appears that Neverwinski is trying
to slide from Formosa or playing a
trick on Togo, but the old Japanese Sea
Dog will not take to this baited hook.
1t goes without saying that Togo knows
his biz and keeps his ears and eyes to
windward.
The latest from the front is that
Neverwinski and Notgoodenough have
tired of French water and are endeav-
oring to strike a bee line for Vladlvos-
tok where it is alleged there is cold beer
on tap, but of all the fabrications, ma
liciously designed, this is the most cruel,
and this is no joke l may say without
mental reservation that this falsehood
made of whole cloth, without patch,
| is as baseless as can be conceived, and
| it is almost crime to have started
Nererwinski on a fools errand. He has
his hands full of trouble without heap
| ing on his broad shoulders the COM
missions and the omissions of others,
who are fighting the war from ST.
Petersburg, and who if they were in
Caddo would probably be assigned to
the Good Roads Convict Camp to i'm
prove their morals, if not their strength
and their general health. But from this
distance, eighteen miles, safely in the
rear, l surmise that man, black or
white, who will come from this afore-
said camp with his life and his limbs
unimpaired may be safely confded and
confined to the safe keeping of the Cos.
sacks who are never so happy and free
as when he can feast on snakes and al
ligators, with the liquid fluid from Bit
ter Creek exported from the United
States.
| I only wish you could see one of these
Jumping Jacks of the Desert. If Roose-
velt were to run amuck against one OF
this tribe, he would swear it was bear
in disguise and shoot him deader than
Hector on the spot. For the good OF
civilization and of humanity wish
Roose could fill every Cossack full of
solid lead.
After writing this much l have dis
Ic5tered that l have been long winded
and in abbreviating would say that the
| Japs have captured junk filled with
officers from Vladivostok who were
out fishing for reconnaissance. These
officers were struck dumb with surprise
4 but recovered their senses when they
lwere assured they would not be skinned
or done up in an alley in the broad light
of day. At first these officers believed
they were going to engage in fancy
free on the glorious oceans wave and
Iexpectej jolly good time, but life is
I6lled with disappointments and bitter
nesses and remorse, so are the aforesaid
Russians. When this cruel war is over,
the Russians will know thing or two;
so much will 60 to the credit of costly
Iexperience and of a Fairy Tale or Mid
summer Nights Dream. The man who
will jump from the frying pan into the
red hot blazing fire will never forget
lit. Who will dare to dispute this as
sertion?@ But / must close, but before
II bring this communication from the
Far East to an end, let me tell you that
Oyama is about ready to jump on your
Uncle Line with two feet and then
watch the fur fly.
Don't believe a word concerning the
vile reports which originated in Rus
sian circles to the effect that the Japs
Ihave seized the Korean Emperor and
marched him overland to Toxic for ex-
ihibition. As he is no monkey he would
not draw a cent l will telephone YOU
las soon as Togo and Neverwinski begin
Ito scrap There is no telling where his
Ipartner Notgoodenough is located, but
| he will turn up in time to be smashed
into splittereens by Togo, but this is on
1.-THE quiet and don't give it away.
THE LATEST.

The Russians have attacked the Japs al

Il is my private opinion, publicly ex.
pressed, that Togo will let Neverwinskl
