ingly kind, contributing money, wood,
vegetables, as well as clothing to fit out
one girl, who was sadly in need Of wear
ing apparel.
Notwithstanding : the contributions,
however, the expenses of the cottage ay-
erage nearly $50 a month, including ma
iron, ice, groceries and meat. Two years
ago the society raised sufficient funds
from the children's operetta, Mother
Goose, to meet the expenses up to date,
but more money must be raised If the
work is carried on next year. However,
the society has no fear that the generous
public will allow the good work to drop
and the money will be provided in some
way. This year the cottages may be
kept open until late in September, If the
weather is favorable.

The late Gen. Benjamin F. Butler
told the following on himself:
Several years after the war the gen
eral had occasion to visit Georgia, and
from town on the railroad took
two-seated ramshackle vehicle, driven
by a typical southern darky, for his
place OF destination.
The general entered into converse
tion with the driver, and learned that
he was one OF eleven boys, and that
he had twin brother. He asked the
driver his name.
Abraham Lincoln Backus," was the
answer.
"A fine, noble name" said the gen.
ersl.
The driver was quiet a moment,
then suddenly said: Wat yo' think
dat twin brudder's name is?''

"His name is Benjamin F. Butler
Backus."

ON MANCHURIA GROUND
RELIABLY ESTIMATED, FORCE
WILL EXCEED A MILLION.
In the Organization Before Next Sum-
mer-Extensive Preparations I'm
der Way-Railway Facilities.

TOKYO. April n.-Japan is meeting the
Russian plan of reorganization and rein
forcement of it's Manchurian armies with
an extensive expedition from it's own mill
tary organization.
The details and figures are carefully con-
cealed of what seems to be plan to dou-
BILE the present army units, but 1t is re-
liably estimated that by autumn next the
total military organization will exceed a
million men actually employed in the field.
The fighting force is roughly estimated at
100000 men, with increases largely In the
infantry and artillery, although an en-
largement in the cavalry branch is also
contemplated
AS result of the manufacture at the
arsenals in Japan, together with captures
and purchases of guns it is predicted that
this year will see Japanese artillery su-
perior to that of the Russian, in quality
as we'll as numerically, and it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that the Russians will be
incapable of overcoming these numerical
disadvantages.
Wherever railway improvements are pos
sible they will be carried out when Japn
will be sufficiently strong to take and hold
Hardin and simultaneously continue opera
tons against the Russian forces to the
eastward of that city.
