spirit of the time, and this is the
striking thing about the December

strong fiction, there is Jack Lon

other short stories but first in inn
portance are the contributions of
William Allen White, Ray Stan

who. as judge of public men has
become almost the national oracle,
cool. incisive, unerring, fixes the
place Of Folk in national affairs.
He tells of his great accomplish
ments in Missouri, measures the
man, and finally shows that he is
not big enough yet for Presidential
timber.
Railroad Rebates is Ray Stan
nard Bakers second paper on the
Railroad Question. He explains
what rebates are, how they are paid,
who pays them and how they affect
industry; illustrating the whole pro-
cess by specific instances, little hui
man stories picked up from railroad
men and shippers, the gamers and
the sufferers by the system.
Jack London S Love of Life" is
narrowing tale of human endur-
arce, pitting against nature and
against each other a starving man

tale of primitive strength is del

'Tis not to him who has his friend
And sits about his turkey,
That we propose this humble toast
All hasty. short, and jerky:
But unto him who sits alone
And dreams of bygone revels;
And unto him who dimes to-day
With well-known dark blue devils;
And unto him that's sorrows guest:
And unto him who, chatting.
Drinks down the gall and hides It all
Beneath a mask of laughing
We merrymakers lift our cups
And cheer: May next Thanks

Bring better luck to every chap
Who's sorry now he's living!"

Pnlling the Wish Bono.

She was a long time with thinking
What her wish should be,
He almost grew impatient
So long considered she.
For she had many wishes,
And he had only one,
1t took him but a moment
To get his wishing done.
But, by and by they pulled It
And Fortune was his friend;
He was a happy mortal,
For he had the longest end.
But she was not unlucky,
For when the reckoning came
1t somehow dawned upon them
That they had wished the same.

SCORES KILLED I'M SPAIN
New Water reservoir Bursts Mean
Madrid.
King Alfonso Hastens to The Scene
and Lends Assistance-Dis-
turbance Feared.

Madrid, Spain. Hundreds Of persons
were killed or injured by the collapse
Of a new water reservoir in course of
construction. Scores of bodies have al
ready been recovered. The Prince Of
the Asturias, the War Minister, the
Governor of Madrid and a representa-
tive of the King went to the spot to
superintend the work of rescue Troops
sent to the scene were soon engaged in
helping the sufferers and recovering
the bodies of the dead.
King Alfonso was shooting at Cara
banchel when he heard of the disaster
and Immediately repaired to the scene.
His arrival was the signal for ovations
from the crowd. The King was deeply
moved, and insisted upon personally
supervising the relief measures.
Working parties gradually removed
the debris and continued to recover
mutilated bodies, fragments of flesh
and limbs
A workman who was injured said
the collapse was so sudden and COM
plete that it was impossible to tell
what happened. The men at work on
the reservoir, however. anticipated
trouble, as fortnight ago three arches
collapsed and cracks developed in four
others.
The public hold the engineers and
contractors responsible for the catas-
trophe, into which the Cabinet has or
dered a strict inquiry.
The catastrophe caused a profound
sensation throughout the city. Ali
work was suspended and the people
docked to the scene.
AS the day passed the indignation
and excitement increased, and serious
disorders were feared, especially on
the occasion Of the funerals of the vic
tins should the authorities undertake
to prevent professions passing through
the centre of the city. Already demon
StratiOns began to be directed against
those held to be responsible for the dis
aster. Professions of women carrying
black flags paraded the district in
which the disaster occurred. A great
crowd marched to the centre of the
city and forced the merchants to close
their establishments as sign of
mourning. The markets were all shut
and business was entirely at stand
still.
The work of recovering the dead and
injured was hampered by enormous
crowds of angry men and wailing
women.
Nearly all the injuries were of Sc
rious nature. The ambulance stations
were soon overhowed, but assistance
continued to arrive from every direc-
ton.

LOSSES HAVE BEEN HEAVY

Csar's Cavalry Has Been Engaged IN
the Defense--Japapess Forming a
Chain of supply stations in Their
Rear-TogO RepOrted-Riots In Bal
tic Provinces.
Gunshu Pass, Manchuria. Rapidly
Increasing activity by the japanese
against points on the road to Kirin be-
trayed movement in force in that
direction on the part of &c least one of
Marshal Oyama's armies. The column
using Kaiyuan as base was operat-
ing vigorously over a long stretch of
the military road northeast of that
place, and has captured several points
of minor but undoubted Importance in
the past few days. A half brigade of
infantry with two squadrons of dra-
gOons attacked the Russian garrison
twenty six miles northeast of Kaiyuan,
In Aishenkao, and after a sharp fight,
in which the losses on both sides were
heavy in proportion to the numbers of
troops engaged, the Japs drove the
Russians northward.
Hot pursuit of the retiring Russians
was made by the Japanese cavalry,
but it ceased when the retreating
forces had drawn six miles from Ash
enkao. The Dragons retired on their
infantry and the Japs hastened to
fortify the position. 1t was evident
Marshal Oyama intended establishing
chain of Notifications along the Kirin
road, for he has pursued the same pol
icy with every town and village north
east of Kaiyuan taken recently. The
successful turning movement against
the Russian left in the battle of Mien-
huachieh at night gave the Mikado's
troops decided advantage in position.
1t appeared impracticable at this stage
of the marshals general move for Gen
eral Linevitch to check him to any
valuable extent.
There seemed to be little doubt
Oyama had dispatched cavalry col
umn with flying artillery for rapid
movement north through Manchuria
toward Tsitsihar. 1t was evident, too,
the Marshal was massing large bodies
of his troops for an important move,
and it was the belief of military ex
perts here that he intended to force the
fighting on a much larger scale than at
present in the immediate future. He
has hampered the Russian commander
terribly by the destruction Of stores at
Hussitai, Kaiyuan and Changtu, as
well as at other places, and the Cars
soldiers have been suffering keenly
from shortage of provisions and forage.
General Linevitch has been relying
largely largely on his Cossack cavalry
and horse batteries for defense of the
army from the attacks of japanese
raiders. MistchenkOs Cossacks have
been the most active command in the
Russian army, and their losses of late
have been severe. They engaged in
a brisk sxirmish with the advance
guard of the Japanese centre, retiring
with several killed and many wounded
after drawing the enemy's heavier field
artillery fire.

New York City.--S. C. 7. Dodd, chief
solicitor of the Standard Oil Company,
made statement with reference to the
recent discussion as to the acceptance
of gift of 100000 offered by John d.
Rockefeller for missionary work. Mr..
Dodd said that the accusation that Mr..
Rockefeller made his money dishonest
ly ''if false. is vile, and being made by
ministers in the pretended interest of
morality, is doubly vile."
Mr.. Dodd said also that the Standard
Oil Company does not own a share of
stock in railroad company, does not
control any railroad company, and that
since the enactment of the Interstate
Commerce law, has not received lower
rates than other shippers by rebates,
arrangements, devices or plans of any
character.
With reference to gas and copper en-
terprises Mr.. Dodd says that neither
the Standard Oil Company nor Mr.
Rockefeller has any connection or in
terest. directly or indirectly, with
those companies or with their organi-
zation.
