LOVE NOTES IN BALLOONS.
Pie Bakers Aerial Plan to Find .
 Girl to Marry Him.

Girl to Marry Him.
 J. Schroerer, a pie baker in Kansas City, Mo, has for five years been seek: ing a wife. Each year on the anni versary of his birth he has sent up paper balloon in which he previously placed letter stating his age and that he had good trade and wanted wife, says the Kansas City Star. He sent up his last balloon a few days ago. It fell into the hands of young woman, who sent it to the Star office with the following letter:
 While sitting in my front yard tonight enjoying the cool evening I happened to look over in northwest direction and mo- ticed a big balloon come over our way. It hadn't gone very far before it began to burn. and finally 1t fell In my back yard. On examination found the in- closed letter. There isn't any one in this neighborhood that wants to be married that I know of and so will turn 1t over to you. Maybe you can give the gentle- man some assistance. W. F. w,

rank and regiment, Iris and he were married in the English church at Hong kong, for it was his wife's wish that the place which witnessed his igno- miny should also witness his triumph.
 Soon afterward Robert resigned his commission He regretted the neces- sity, but the demands of his new sphere in life rendered this step i'm perative. Mining engineers, laborers, stores, portable houses, engines and equipment were obtained with all haste, and the whole party sailed on one of Sir Arthur Deane's ships to con- voy small steamer specially hired to attend to the wants of the miners.
 At last, one evening early in July, the two vessels anchored outside Palm Tree rock, and Mir Jan could be seen running frantically about the shore, for no valid reason save that he could not stand still. The sahib brought him good news. The governor of Hong kong felt that any reasonable request made by Anstruther should be granted if possible He had written such a strong representation of the Moham- medan's case to the government of h. dia that there was little doubt the re- turning mail would convey an official notification that Mir Jan had been granted free pardon.
 The mining experts verified Roberts most sanguine views after very brief examination of the deposit. Hardly any preliminary work was needed. In twenty four hours small concentrat- ing plant was erected and a ditch made to drain off the carbonic anhy- dride in the valley. After dusk a par ty of coolies cleared the quarry of its former occupants Toward the close of the following day, when the great steamer once more slowly turned her head to the northwest, Iris could hear the steady thud of an engine at work on the first consignment of ore.
 Robert had been busy up to the last moment. There was so much to be done in short space of time. The vessel carried large number of pas sengers, and he did not wish to de- tain them too long, though they one and all expressed their willingness to suit his convenience in this respect.
 Now his share of the necessary prep arations was concluded. His wife, Sir Arthur and his uncle were gathered in a corner of the promenade deck when he approached and told them that his last instruction ashore was for light to be fixed on Summit rock as soon as the dynamo was in working order.
 "When we all come back in the cold weather" lie explained gleefully, we will not initiate the Sirdar by running on to the reef should we arrive by night"
 Iris answered not. Her blue eyes were fixed on the fast receding cliffs.
 Sweetheart" said her husband, "why are you so silent?' .....-..
 She turned to him. The light of the setting sun illumined her face with It's golden radiance.
 Because I am so happy" she said. ooh, Robert, dear, SO happy and thankful"

FEELING OF HoPEFULNESS
Is Reported from High Official Circles
at st. Petersburg.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 13.-Thc Russian
capital is in the dark regarding the
meaning of the prolonged conference at
Portsmouth. SATURDAY. The purport of
NJ. WitteS messages received here have
been impaired only to a few officials
Nevertheless. in high quarters today
there is a certain feeling of hopefulneSs
noticeable which is not altogether ac-
counted for on the ground that thus tar
there has been no rupture and that the
terms are still under discussion with a
chance of an understanding being
reached. The only comment vouchsafcd
officially was that NJ. Whites answer
seemed not altogether unacceptable to
the japanese. else the conference would
have ended there and then.
Count I.amsdorff. who Is keeping in
close touch with the Emperor. went
again to Peterhof. Today. bearing the
latest messages. bat apparently there
were no important developments here
affecting the negotiations.
There is reason to believe that no mani
festo on the subject Of an assembly will
he issued until definite news is received
from Portsmouth so that if peace ncgo-
tiations fail. the promise of an assembly
and the publication of the rejected lap
aneR terms simultaneously will COM
hne to arouse the patriotism of the
country.

"Iussian diplomacy has shown itself
TO be full Of bluf1ing and intimidation,
part icularly 50 during the period pre-
cedinS the present hostilities.
"Wh3tever measures Russia takes,
the fact stands out clear as deylight
that Sakhalin is under occupation ana
the fate of Kamchatka is within easy
command of Japan. Other portions of
Russia S maritime possessions are with
i'll easy access of Japanese asSailants.
\ shreWd diplomat and statesman like
NJ. Witte cannot be blind to the fact. A
man of his financial experience ought
to be alive TO the fact that the eXpendi-
lures required for the continuation of
hostiliticS ought to be utilized in Il
channel productive of Il greater henc-
ht to Russia.
However blind Russian statesmen
MI; y be. it is impossible to believe that
they fail to appreciate the logic OF
