In the parliamentary Hobbies tonight
1t is believed Frances enormous finani-
cial interest in Russia will compel her
to bring the strongest pressure to bear
upon st. Petersburg to secure immediate
peace but it is doubted If even now the
Gear or his ministers have the courage
to face the inevitable. The alternative
course open to Russia. is to retire from
Manchuria, knowing the Japanese VIII
not follow her army into Siberia.
Japan, in that event, might organize
a Chinese army Of defense in Manchuria,
under Japanese officers. and eventually
Russia would be forced to come to terms
and pay the indemnity asked.

No Excuse.
London Telegraph.

A Prussan princess, having mar
ried the Duke of York-of course
not the present duke-resided in
England, where she attracted much
attention on account of her original
way of doing things.
Once to commemorate the dukes
birthday she gave a ball at his coun-
try house and invited his London
tradesmen to come to it, sending
them 2 guineas apiece to pay car
riage hire.
y company of strolling actors
begged the duchess to he present at
their performance in a barn. She at
tended and carried all her servants,
who were Germans.
The next day an itinerant Metho-
dist was to preach n charity sermon
in the same barn. She was asked to
attend and consented. Her servants
on receiving orders to be present ex-
cused themselves on the ground OF
not understanding English.
"Oh," replied the duchess, "but
you went to the comedy, and YOU
shall go to the sermon"

COCK FIGHTING.
A Very Ancient and at One Time .
Royal Sport.

That breed Of fighting poultry
known as Dorking has an ancient
history. The Romans introduced il
into England and taught the Britons
% breed it for the table. But Caesar
aud his legions found one breed of
poultry already domiciled in that
country imported by even earlier
visitors, the PhOenicians. These
fowls we're kept for pleasure and d.
yersion-that is, for cock fighting
and the breed was already many cen
turtles old when the Romans came.
The Phoenicians and the Greeks
knew all about the game fowl. They
drew their knowledge of the sport
from the Persians, while in India,
nearly 1000 years ago, the fighting
cock fought and fourished as it does
TO this day.
Cock fighting was a ROYAL sport in
England, though now and again
edicts against il were promulgated.
King Edward III. issued one, and so
did Henry VIII, though the latter
monarch had a cockpit built in
Whitehall so that he himself might
indulge in the pastime. But no
edicts could put an end to cock
/ fighting. and il fourishcd under the
Stuarts, though Cromwell prohibit
ed it. There is an interesting record
of the sport in the reign of Charles
ii. Cosmo, grand duke of Tuscany,
while paving England visit went in
state ito the theater appropriated to
cock fighting, a common amusement
of the English, who even in the pub
lie streets take a delight in seeing
such battles, and considerable bets
nre made on them
Cock fighting in England reached
its zenith early in the last century.
At that time distinguished visitors
were treated by each corporation to
cock fights instead of fireworks and
music by the local band. Every
sporting nobleman had his own
strain Of game fowl. The numbers
that were killed in the ring were
immense. In a single season in one
town 1000 cocks persisted. In the
Easter week of 1922 in one pit 1SS
cocks fought each other and $4,000
changed hands in wagers.-Chicago
