Eickleness of Woman.

Gray-Hello, Smith, old boy! And
so you are married, Ell?
Smith-That's what the parson told
me.
Gray-And of course, you are hap
py?
Smith-Well, don't know about
that To tell the plain, unvarnished
truth. I'm just little bit disap-
pointed.
Gray-Tm sorry to hear that. What's
the trouble?
Smith-Well, you see, during the
courtship stunt she used to tell me
how strenuously she loved me, but we
had no sooner got spliced than she

DEMANDS THAT CAUSED WAR
What Japan Desired Russia to Grant. and What the
Latter Agreed to Concede

tai there was another tedious wait,
owing to the inability of the commits
sioners to have an audience of the
car. The reason for this delay was
that the empress was indisposed.
When the commissioners arrived at
Toxic another delay of two months
occurred before Russia submitted her
reply. Most conspicuous in her reply
was this article; Recognition by ia
pan that Manchuria and its littoral
as in all respects outside her sphere
of interests"
Throughout the discussion, which
extended to Feb 5, 1904 Russia insist
ed that the Manchurian question was
exclusively question for Russia and
China.
Then 1t was that Japan informed
Russia, through the Japanese minister
at st. Petersburg that because Of Rus
sia's refusal to consider the Manchu-
rian question, and because of unex-
planned delays and extraordinary naval
and military activities on the part Of
Russia, the Japanese government had
no other alternative than to "termi-
nate the present futile negotiations"
That was on Feb. 6, 1904. Two days
later, on Feb. s, the first shot of the
war was fired.
Just what Japan demanded and
what Russia was willing to concede or
| refused to concede are shown in the

SOAKED SEED IN BRANDY.
Vermont Woman Tries Experiment
With Unexpected Results.

Vermont Woman Tries Experiment
With Unexpected Results.
An item appeared in the Barre
Times one day early last week which
told how to raise lettuce in forty-eight
hours by soaking the seed in brandy
over night and planting 1t in sand
lime. One reader tried it. She soak
ed the seed and planted 1t, according
to directions. Then she watched for
1t to come up. The item said 1t would
grow full-sized lettuce heads in forty
eight hours, but, this didn't come up
in that time.
The season being so backward, and
several attempts to persuade lettuce
to come up in the garden having fail
ed, the woman said she'd give 1t lit
tie more time. Twenty-four hours
were passed and it hadn't come
through the sand. The woman began
to think she had been fooled. More
she thought about it the farther she
got from that serenity of temper
which Is so admirable in woman, and
finally she threw the whole mess into
the chicken yard.
The chickens liked it. They thought
a special feast had been prepared for
them, and they greedily ate it until
it had all disappeared and then hud-
died down in one corner of the yard
to bask in the sun. But the sun had
bad effect on them; they grew dizzy,
and were unable to move about with
out tumbling over each other. This
was too much for the good woman,
and that's how the Times came to
hear of it. When it was explained to
her that the chickens were not used
to brandy diet the receiver was hung
up with a bang.-Burlington Free
Press.

1t was on July %, 1903, that Japan
made her first proposal to Russia for
a joint diplomatic consideration of the
relations of the two empires toward
Korea and China. In that first note
Japan called attention to Russia's con-
tinued occupation of Manchuria and
OF her progress toward the Korean
frontier, and then made this state
ment, which has been called the Japa-
nese Monroe doctrine:
Japan possesses paramount politi-
cal as well as commercial and indus
trial interests and influence in Korea,
which, having regard for her own Sc
curity, she cannot consent to surren-
der to, or share with, any other
power"
Within two weeks Russia gave her
assent to enter into negotiations, and
then Japan presented her formal pro-
posal. At once there was delay. Near
ly three weeks were used up in dis
cussing the place for holding the dis
cussions on the proposals. Japan had
made her representations at st. Pet
ersburg. Russia deemed Toxic a more
appropriate place. Japan favored con-
tinuing the negotiations where they
had begun. Russia was immovable
and finally the whole proceedings were
adjourned to Toxic, 1000 miles away.
But before the Russian commission
ers could start for the Japanese CAPT.

at which several big ships were lying.
The property damaged is estimated at
between $4OO, 900 and $500, 900.
So far as known no lives were lost.
For over an hour huge tongues of flame
leaped from the wooden structures on
the Lackawanna docks, lighting the
New Jersey and New York water
fronts. For time,it threatened loss
larger than that Of the big dock fire
several years ago wien the North Ger
man Lloyd piers were destroyed with
great loss of life.
The flames started from an unknown
cause on the old wooden ferry boat
|Hopatcong, which had been tied up in
the open sea, between the Hamburg
American docks and the Christopher
street ferry slips. Twenty minutes
after the alarm it looked as if the en-
tire lower part of Hoboken, including
the Hamburg piers would be destroy ed.
The two burning ferry boats were
towed out into the stream by tugs.
The Hopatcong sank later.
After few hours work the fire was
under control, the big steamship piers
had been saved, and a rough estimate
placed the damage at $500, 900.
The new immigration station, which
was built of brick and stone, and oo.
