crsr Says Campaign VIII De pushse
With Utmost Energy and Has
Confidence That kuropstkln
Can Whip oysma.

Et. Petersburg, Feb 2a.--The emper-
or Of Russia has declined all overtures
for peace ana has elected TO continue
the war. His position IL absolutely
firm and the German court has been
advised IN that sense.
The war win be pressed with the
utmost energy. the domestic situation
now being within the control OF the
authorities Those who have advised
peace ana suggested inquiries for Ja-
PANS terms the French aud British
governments are for the present silent
and ara likely To remain 30 unless
something extraordinary ahakes the
Russian cmperor's resolution. The
considerations thai led TO the emper-
or.s decision m understood here are:
Flrst-Thc judgment Of the chiefs
Of the army Ii that Field Marshal
oyama not only cannot defeat Kuro'
patkln, but stands In danger OF de-
feat himself. How oowardly, there
fore, for Russia TO ask for mercy with
all the men and money essential TO
success.
Second-All the forces OF criticism
now directed against the government
for having fought rather than yielded
10 legitimate interests and for having
failed TO win victory would be con-
llnued with added fury against the
government that accepted the war and
then betrayed the country A govern
ment that would crave peace OF RUS
sla's enemy while still capable OF win
ming victory would be giving the party
Of change genuine grounds for a revo-
luton. The facts OF the military situ-
alton. love OF country and arguments
OF expedlency were all against peace
and for pressing the war hopefully.

For Meanness the Man Here Men

the Wreath.

Congressman Morrell, of Philadelphia,
in a discussion of the Delaware river ap.
preparations, mentioned a mean man, re-
lates the Louisville Courier-Journal.
There are many mean men," he said,
"but this man, surely, was the meanest
of them all. Besides being mean he was
also rich.
ITO a poor young couple living near him
a son was born, and they decided to name
their son after the mean man, and to ask
him TO stand as its godfather.
"He consented. He was tlattered.
"%Thereupon the joy of this poor young
couple was great. They wondered what
gift the rich godfather would give to his
little godson. Perhaps a house and lot?
Perhaps a half dozen government bondsy
Perhaps a herd of %cattle?"
Senator Morrell paused and smiled.
"What do you suppose" he said, "the
mean man sent the %youngster? He sent
it, sir, a cup that one of his Cochin
China hens had won at a poultry show"

CLUB NOTES.

Macon, Ill.-Dr. David H. Reeder.
Laporte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: | have
long been interested in your lectures,
and believe that yours is the right. the
simplest, most natural method of treat
ment. As others have given their mite,
| will tell of a simple remedy.
My year-old babe had a badly can
kered mouth last winter, so that he
could not eat. Borax-alum-honey
washes failed to relieve. Powdered
golden seal, touched lightly to the
sores, gave relief the first application,
and by the third had almost cured him.
Another time he could retain nothing
on his stomach. A little powdered mag
nesia in his milk soon cured this. Hop
Ing this will help some young mother,
| am, yours very truly, e. w.
The above simple remedies are very
good for the difficulties mentioned.
They are perfectly harmless in any
event. Such suggestions as these are
always gladly received, as they are al
ways in demand.
