WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.

THE future playground of the
Southwest is what the White River
Country has been called. Very earn

this sport. is to those who are jaded
by familiar scenes of business life.
Nature is all alive in this wonder

land sounds of breezes in the forest,
the whirr OF wings where wild fowl
flock TO the waters, the splash OF
gamey fish tempting the angler, the
very colors of mountain and river
showing nothing of dead. arid waste
OF sand and stone.
"Semi-Alpine," says an experienced
traveller of the country, dotted with
growing towns, nestled in the valleys
of the James and White Rivers in
Southern Missouri and Northern Ar
kansas. One who has trudged through
the forests or foated down the river
from Galena to Branson and Cotter,
will be sincere in calling the Ozarks
mountains" yet there is no danger
TO life or limb in such pilgrimage.
The ozone-laden air from oak, pine,
cypress and cedar. the absence of mos
qllitoes in a land of cold, springfield
streams, cool nights and temperate
days, make ii delight to live, and
move in this favored cline.
There is always something to do

these pearls for playthings till their

Few regions have charms Of a

White River Country to make money,

"A fairy tale" you say. No, 1t is
that truth which is stranger than
fiction, a truth which shows one who
tries to tell it the poverty of all pow

Habits Which Iniure Heath.

Much of the nervousness from
which women suffer is caused, it is
said, by the incorrect positions in
which they sit when they sew or
work Sitting with one shoulder
higher than the other, slouching down
in the chair until you are literally sit
ting on the end of the spine, are bad
habits that bring about nervous dis

Portsmouth, Aug. 31.--The follow
Ing statement was issued by Mr..
Saton on behalf of the Japanese pleni-
potentiaries:
"The questions of the final DISPOSE
ton of the Island of Sakhalia and the
reimbursement to Japan Of her eX-
penses have from the first been is
sues on which absolute divergence of
views existed. The difference of
opinion upon these points = not one
but both-have frequently threatened
the existence of the conference. But
his majesty, the emperor of Japan, re-
spending to the dictates of humanity
and civilization has, in spirit of per-
feet cancellation and in the interest
of peace, authorized his plenipoten-
tiaries to wave the question of reim-
bursement of war expenses and has
consented to a division of Sakhalin
upon terms which are mutually ac-
ceptable, thus making it possible to
bring the important work of the con-
ference to a successful issue"
Portsmouth.-The long and bloody
war between Japan and Russia IS
ended. The terms of peace were
agreed upon by Mr.. White and Baron
Komura at the session of the confer
ence and preliminary arrangement for
an armistice were concluded and the
actual work of framing the Treaty of
Portsmouth" was by mutual consent
turned over to Mr.. De Martens Rus
sia's greatest international lawyer,
and Mr.. Dennison, who for twenty-five
years has acted as the legal adviser
of the Japan foreign office.
The treaty is expected to be COM
pleted by the end of the week.
This happy conclusion of the con-
ference, which week ago would have
been shipwrecked had it not been for
the heroic intercession of President
Roosevelt was sudden and dramatic.
For the sake of peace, Japan, with the
magnanimity of victor, at the last
moment yielded everything still in is
sue. Russia refused to bulge from
the ultimatum Emperor Nicholas had
given to President Roosevelt through
Ambassador Meyer.
The new treaty therefore, will be a
wonderfully friendly document of a
character almost to raise the sus-
picion that the two countries have not
negotiated peace, but have concluded
the basis of a future alliance. There
is, however, no evidence, as rumored,
that any secret clauses are to be APP
pended to the present treaty.
Before leaving the conference
building fluctuations were exchanged
with the president at Oyster Bay.
Both Baron Komura and Mr.. White
telegraphed the president. The form
er confined himself to apprising Mr..
Roosevelt of the conditions upon
which peace had been conducted. Mr..
Witte frankly laid his tribute to the
presidents feet

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence OF
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated.

Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There is a beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
What a disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her headl A sickly. half
dead-and-alive woman,
especially when she is
the mother of a family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness in the hong, and u
drag upon her husband.
The cost of a wife's con
slant illness is a serious
drain upon the funds of n

the properties and interests Of G. j,
Devlin, bankrupt, is now on foot. 1t
is the intention of number of East
ern capitalists, Chicago and New

and secure the discharge of the re-
ceivers by the United States district
court.
The creditors of Devlin will, under
this plan, if it is carried through, re-
ceive the full amount of their claims.
The company will then secure abso-
lutte control of the Devlin properties
and manage them according to pol
icy which will be outlined by those
interested.
G. J. Devlin will secure a certain
percentage of the surplus remaining
after all obligations are met. This
percentage will be agreed upon by
him and the parties forming the I'M
derwriting corporation.
To secure an accurate idea of the
amount of the assets and liabilities
involved in the properties, expert &C.
countants have been engaged to go
over the accounts and report their
findings to the members of the COM
pany which is being promoted.

again returned a non possumus. He
expected rupture and, as he ex-
pressed it afterwards, he was stunned
by what happened. Baron Komura
gave way on all the disputed points.
With the prescience that has en-
abled the Japanese to gauge the men,

the field of battle and upon the sea,
they had realized in advance that
peace could be obtained in no other
way.
