Japan Financially Pressed.

A Toxic despatch says: Notwith-
standing the silence of the govern
ment. the real fact is disclosed that
Japan made peace at Portsmouth in
fear of a financial breakdown. The
war proved more costly than had been
calculated and the rice and cereal
crops seemed doomed to failure. m
stead of sunlight and warmth during
the month of August. when the crops
ripen. there was continuous ram ana
exceedingly cold weather. While some
imnrovement may still be in store. IL
is certain that the rice crop promises
TO be from Is to 90 per cent below the
average and far below last year
crop. when il was marvelously large.
Six months more of war would have
meant very hard times. for the masses
of the people are very poor and rice
is their bread and meat.

of them, and the rest fled to their vessel,
CARRYING of one of those who had been
killed. Eight years later another cXpedi
ton explored the interior of the island
as far as Red Indian Lake, the head
quarters of the Beothukans, without
succeeding in establishing any COM
munication with them, though evidences
of the fact that they were simply con-
Cealing themselves were not lacking.
Admiral Lord Gambler, when Governor
of the Island in 1903, paid reward
of fifty pounds to a fisherman named
William Gull for the capture Of a Red
Indian woman. She was treated kindly
and sent back to her people with preccntS
the following year; but thee Is reason to
believe that she was murdered for the
sake of the gifts sent with he.
Lieu. cnant Buchan of the British
Schooner Adonis in ISlo-1r captured
two Indians and left two marines as
hostages; but the tribe, fearing treaChery,
killed the marines and fled to the interior.
\ squaw was taken at Red Indian Lake
in 1910 bya party of trappers, alter her
husband and another Indian were killed.
She was named Mary March and taken to
St. Johns; but she died of consumption.

a party of men from Twillingate. They
proved to be a mother and her two
daughters. The mother and one of the
daughters soon died but the third
whose name was Shanandithet, survived
for about two years and became useful as
a house servant. These were the last
of the Red Indians seen alive by white
men. Shanandthet died in the hospital
at St Johns of consumption in 1920,
after six years of civilized life.
y final effort had been made in 1873
to discover and open communication
with the surviving Bcothukans. In that
year the Bcothuk Society. formed at
St. Johns for the civilization of the
aborigines-Lut formed too late-organ-
led an expedition under Cormack to
that part of the island supposed to be
still occupied by remnant of the tribe.
Many interesting rel of the Red In
di-,ns were found, including their burial
places and some of their dead, their
weapons and their canoes With the
failure of this expedition the last hope
of finding any living Beothukans was
abandoned
Certain it is that unless a small rem
nant of the race IS now to be found in
Labrador, there runs not the blood

Kansas Gets Into Society.

Senator Long of Kansas, didn't
mingle much in society when he was
in the house of representatives, but
now he has to, inasmuch as he is in
the senate. A few days ago he went
with his wife to a reception at the
house of Senator Elkins of West Vir-
ginia. The Longs went in. The SEN
ator shook hands with Mrs. Elkins
who received him most graciously
Then he went on down the line shak-
ing hands with everybody else ne saw
The person at the end of the line was
very distinguished looking man, and
the senator greeted him warmly.
who was that man at the end OF
the line with whom I shook hands?'
asked the senator of Mrs. Long when
they had greeted everybody.
"That?" said Mrs. Long, "Oh, that
was the butler"

Senator Spooner was dramatically
declaiming against the admission of
New Mexico as a state in the eXcit-

much about the alien character of the
citizens of that territory.

the paper, lis the list of their council.

Senator Spooner tossed the paper
aside with a fine gesture of disdain.
The senator from Illinois asks me

Il do not speak Spanish and therefore

Senator Foraker, an advocate of the
admission of New Mexico, picked up
the paper.
Il can read Them he said, "even if
the senator from Wisconsin cannot"
Then he read:

The Absent Antiquary.

Stephen Salisbury, the president of
the American Antiquary society, was
talking about an absent minded an
tiquary Of Chicago.
He is very DID," said Mr.. Salibury,
very old, very learned, very absent
minded. He goes through life dream
ing of the past, dreaming of Greek
coins. of Latin manuscripts, of colon
ial furniture, of revolutionary relics.
At receptions, while ladies talk to him
his thoughts will be fixed on Frank
lin autograph. At a tea, while he is
handing about the cups, he will muse
over a coveted suit of gold-inlaid chain
mail. Hence many awarkwardnesses
and contrtemps.
"This antiquary attended a house
party during the holidays. The house
maids on the morning he left for home
were assembled in line in the hall, and
the dreaming, musing antiquary went
to them, one by one, and in an absent
minded way he kissed each of them on
the cheek.
His wife, as they drove station
ward, said:
"Do you know what you did, sir, as
we left our friend's?'
ono; what did I do" said the an
tinquary.
"'You kissed every one of those
housemaids.'
Impossible
cit is quite true
"'But, my dear, I have no recollec-
ton whatever Of the matter
You kissed them ali, nevertheless.
"'Then let us hope the antiquary
murmured, that there were some pref
ty ones among Them"

Not That Kind of Cattle.

A man went into the general read
ing room of the congressional library
the other day to get some specifis data
for a paper he was writing. He told
the attendant he wanted to find out
something about some papal bulls, and
asked if he had any record of anything
of the kind. He had never been in
the reading room before and he did not
know the limitations of some OF the
attendants. He selected a desk and
sat down. At the end of half an hour
the attendant returned.
Il think, SIR he said, you may find
what you want here and he laid be-
fore him an agricultural department
export, opened at an article on cattle.
