Loyalty of the Cos.ack.

quotes in E~verybody's speaks as fol-
lows of his allegiance to the little ia
ther::'
"Only we Cossacks have kept =
selves untatnted by all this new sci
ence. 1t eats like a cancer into the
power of u car. But we alone are
just is u ~grandfathers were before
us. And l think my young son-he is a
bold, big fellow-I think he, too, will
stick to the ways Of the fathers. These
propaganda devils never try to cone
to us, for they know we are safe
against them. All their new, slushy
ideas roll off u brains like water
from the back of a goose. Not a drop
Of Socialist slush sticks to us.
"Why? Because from our cradles we
were taught to obey-to obey without
stopping to think it all out to obey two
fathers, u own father and the car.
When the car commands, then 1 do.
You see my young daughter asleep
over there. Well, If the czar said,
Tear her to pieces then l should do 1t,

Sweden Agrees to Allow
Historic FOrtreSSeS
TO REMAIN UNDEMOLISHED
New Forts WIN Be Rszed-SummarY Of
the Protocol Agreed on by Scan
dinayian Delegates at Karls-
tad Made Public

Stockholm, Sweden, Sept. "a. The
Associated Press has succeeded in OBJ
tanning the text Of the protocol signed
at Karlstad on Saturday by the Nor
wegian-Swedish delegates appointed to
arrange the terms for the dissolution
Of tie union Of Norway and Sweden,
subject to tile ratification Of the Riksdag
and Storthing
The historic document, which will be-
come treaty when ratified by the two
parliaments, consists of five main arti-
cles and thirty-fve b-clauses.
The agreement provides for the COM
pulsory arbitration before the Hague
court OF all disputes, except matters
Of vital interest, for the period Of a
decade, with extensions for other periods
Of ten years unless two years previous

The Open Season fol- Deer.

There has been some misapprehension
as to the open season for deer in Yer
mont this year. Deer can be legally
hunted from October 20 to October rs,
inclusive.
This misunderstanding in the minds
Of some as to the exact time Of the
open season was caused by the passage
Of two bills upon the subject at the
last session of the legislature. The first
bill introduced, No. 12i, provided for
a six days season for shooting deer.
When that bill was passed and before
it was signed by the governor, the see
ond bill No. 1879, was introduced, maxi
ing the open season for shooting deer
the last 10 days Of October, not count
ing Sunday.
This last bill was rushed through
and reached the governor, and was sign
ed on December 9, 1904, while the first
bill, No. 1877, was not signed until De-
cember 10, 1904 Thus bin No. 127 in
the statutes OF laws passed in 1904,
is the law of Vermont.
There are certain regulations embod-
led in No. 129 not inconsistent with
No. 127, which are enforced. Thus,
No. 129 provides thar no deer with
horns less than three inches long shall
be shot.

Only one woman was taken into the

WHITES NEW POLICY.
Win Keep Russia Aloof from Anglo
German Rivalries.

New York, Sept. 26.-The Times in
st. Petersburg cable, says:
III. Whites organ, the Sloyo, publishes
a leading article on Russia's foreign
policy, which, following M. Whites own
statement regarding the warmth Of Rus
sian feeling toward Germany is likely
to check injudicious effusiyeness in Eng
land.
The Slovo, frankly admitting Russia's
eclipse in the far east, anticipates the
transferenee Of her energies to the near
east, and offers Of cooperation from
England and Germany, each seeking in
an agreement with Russia weapon
against the other. The Sloyo contends
that Russia's best policy viii be to
stand aside and let them fight it out.
All this shows that it IS the idea Of
the Witte school to play of Germany
against England.

ENORMOUS COST OF WAR.
Russia 100000 Week-Japan
Somewhat Less,

The war between Russia and Japan
has been going on little less than 16
months and has increased the debt of
the two countries at least $1,OOO,OO0,-
coo. According to an estimate made
some time ago, the direct cost of the
war to Russia was about 100000 a
week, which would give the total up to
this time at little less than $700,000,-
600. Undoubtedly, however, the cost
OF the war has increased since that
estimate was made, so that very likely
the above amount has been exceeded,
possibly by fully $100,000,00O.
Japans war expenditure has been
somewhat less than that of Russia, due
in part to the fact that she did not
have to transport her armies and mill
tary supplies so long a distance More
over, Japan has not bought supplies
abroad on so large a scale as Russia
and thus effected considerable saw
ing. The Japanese soldier does not re-
quire as much food as the Russian. and
the commissary department of great
army is a tremendous source of ex-
penditures Of the two countries have
probably been about equal, though ia
pan is understood to have manufac-
tured at small cost a considerable
part of what she has used. Doubtless
a reasonable estimate of the pecuniary
cost of the war to Japan is $700,000,-
600, making for the two nations ap-
proximately $1,000, 100000,
But the money cost of the conflict
is inconsequential in comparison with
the loss of life and the want and suf-
fering which this means to hundreds
of thousands of widows and orphans.
This is the deplorable aspect of the
war which is moving the civilized
world to urge that the destructive con-
flict be terminated.
