Real Self Control.

To most people self control means the
control Of appearances and not the con
troll Of realities. This is radical mis-
take and must be corrected If we are
to get clear idea Of self control and II
we are to make fair start in acquir
ing it as n permanent habit.
II man is ugly to me and want to
knock him down and refrain from do.
ing SO simply because 1t wouldn't ap-
pear well and is not the habit of the
habit of the people about me, my de.
sire to knock him down Is still part
Of myself. and have not controlled
myself until | am absolutely free from
TINT interior desire. So long as am in
hatred to another / am In bondage to
my hatred: and If, for the sake of ar-
rearnnces, do not act or speak from 1t
/ am none the less at Its mercy, and it
will find lin outlet wherever it can do
SO without debasing me in the eyes OF
other men more willing tbs n am to be
debased. Ny selfish desire to ii,jure the
man / hate Ii counterbalanced by my
selfish desire to stand well in the eyes
of other men. There can be no true self
control so long us either form Of selfish
ness dominates my actions. The control
of appearances Is merely outward re-
preston, and a very common instance
of this may be observed In the effort to
control laugh.-Annie Payson Call In

Hnlcyon Days.

The seven days preceding and the
seven days following the winter SOL
stice were called by the ancients hal
cyon days. This phrase is derived
from fable which sets forth that Hal
cyone, princess who grieved SO deep
" for the loss at sen Of her spouse, was
sent thither In pity in the form Of a
halcyon bird or kingfsher.
According to the legend. the halcyon
bird had during the time of breeding
the power Of lulling the waves, and It
was believed at this time the sea was
always calm and might be navigated
In perfect security. Experience, Of
course, dispelled this fable; but, like
many another old world ster...,. ii It has
left behind it a distorted meaning.
In this case the connection between
the old and the new Significance Is
clear, for the term. once expressive Of
peace and calm upon the waters. is
equally expressive of tranquility upon
the sea OF life.

DANGER u Hypnotisrn.

Even with the best understanding Of

STILL PURSUING

JAPS WEDNESDAY.
General Oyama Keeping Up With Gen
eral Kuropatkin, Who Is Trying
to Reorganize His Army.

The latest information is that the
Japs captured Tie Pass on Wednesday
and General Oyama is pushing forward
with vigor.
The Russians attempted stand al
Tie Pass but were compelled to give
way before the onslaughts of the vic
torious Japs. H.
General Kuropatkin has been striving
to collect and reorganize his scattered
men, but such task is not easy, as is
well known to military men, when the
troops frequently whipped have become
demoralized and are being pursued by
the vietors determined OH their capture.
In the face of the predicament in which
he has been placed. Kuropatkin has done
remarkably well to have extricated him
self from Oyama's grasp. ~
The result of the great and still mys-
terious movement by Kamimura is being
awaited with keen anxiety His appear
anee in Kuropatkin's rear would mean
disaster to the Russians, and it is this
which is keeping St. Petersburg in few
erish apprehension. -.... -a 81.
While it is announced that the Gar is
determined on war, peace negotiations
may soon be pending. .-
With the retirement of General XIII

.KUROPATKIN IS CAPTURED
THE LATEST ADVICES FROM
NEW YORK CITY.
While This Has Not Been Confirmed,
Russia Has Met Her Sedan
at Tie Pass.

The latest advice from New York is
that General kuropatkin has been cap
TIRED. This information was telegraphed
about the time of going to press. and
while unconfrnled, may be accepted as
probable. Indeed, if 1t be not fact, il
lis because Kuropatkin has been favored
with plumbers OIL the part of the Japan
#ese, as was Hoods army when retreatins
from Tennessee after the battle OF
Nashville. Had not the Federals blum
.dered, Hood could not have escaped
with his army. Since the battle at Muk-
den kuropatkin has been hard pressed
by Kuroki, Nogi and Ukra in front and
TANKS. while Kamimura has been exc
cutting a movement of which little is
known except to Oyana, who has not
nrscalculated this strategic strike. Hav-
ing lost Tie Pass, where Kuropatkin
was endeavoring to unite the fragments
OF his army, the Russians have been on
the move to Hardin. Already dispirited
by hard fighting, short rations and ex-
posture, the Russians are in no condi-
ton to make stand against the on
slaught of the victorious Japs. 1t may
Be said that the man who has never seen
q lot of soldiers fleeing when demorali-
lied can have no conception of what is
termed disastrous panic In such an
emergency men who have stood the
shock Of battle become as. scared sheep.
Crowded as they have been, the Rus
slams could not be expected to stand
firm when, perhaps, facing their enemy
in their front and flank
1t may be assumed that Kamimura
has accomplished the task assigned him
and has reached Kuropatkin's rear. and
being in1pedei in his retreat to Hardin,
surrounded, doubtless, and at best in
1 perilous position, he has been COM
PEELED to yield, as did Bazaine at Sedan
when the Prussians swept on to Paris
in victory.
Kuropatkin's capture with the greater
part Of his army would lead to peace.
