STRIVE FOR ORIGINALITY.
Men Should Not Copy the Ways Of
Others, They Should Live
Like Themselves.

Do not be afraid of being original,
even eccentric. Be an independent,
self-reliant. new man, not just one
more individual in the world. Do not
be a copy of your grandfather, OF
your father, or of your neighbor. That
is as foolish as for a violet to try to
be like a rose, or for a daisy to ape
a sunf1ower, writes Orison SWEET Mar
Len, in Success Magazine. Nature has
given each a peculiar equipment for
it's purpose. Every man is born to do
a certain work in an ordinary way.
If he tries to copy some other man,
or to do some other mans work, he
will be an abortion, a misfit, a failure.
Do not initiate even your heroes.
Scores of young clergymen attempted
to make their regulations by imitat-
ing Beecher. They copied his voice
and conversation, and initiated Lis ges-
lures and his habits, but they fell as
far short of the great mans power as
the chrome falls short of the master
piece. Where are those hundreds of
imitators now? Not n of them has
ever made any stir in the world.

VIOLATES NEUTRALITY.
Japanese Press Say Government Nus
Protest Against French Action.

Toxic, April Is. Discussing the
presence of vessels of the Russian sec.
ond Pacific squadron at Kamranh Bay
n the east coast of French lndO-China.
he Jill Shimpo declares that the use OF
the Island of Madagascar by the Rus
siansquadron was a direct and prolonged
violation of the principle of neutrality
but, on account of the distance, Japan:
in that instance, simply lodged a pro
test. The paper, however, insists that
Russia is now using Kamranh Bay as a
basis for action against her opponent.
and says she intends to use 1t as a point
for effecting a juncture with the re-
manning division of the squadron.
'If the use of Kamranh Bay Is con-
tinued," the Jill ShimpO adds, Japan
must regard its neutrality as complete
ly ignored, and Japan will not be
obliged 20 respect its neutrality"
The Jill Shimpo further declares that
France is lending the Russians efficient
assistance. thus actually joining lSSu
with Russia against Japan, and that 1t
is now necessary for Japan to notify
Great Britain and obtain her co-Opera-
ton. according to the terms OF the An
glo-Japanese alliance.

no excuse for extending such hospitali-
ty to a belligerent squadron, and 1t ex-
presses the hope that France will take
steps to abide by her obligations as a
neutral power.

Terrorists Arrested.

st. Petersburg, April 1S.-Gradually
many interesting details surrounding
the recent arrest of a band OF about a
dozen ~terrorists are leaking out. The
capture, which is regarded by the au-
thorities as of immense Importance,
was accomplished by Kashovsky, the
Russian Lecoo. who was dismissed from
the Russian police several years ago on
O of his connection with Philippe,
the spiritualist. whe created such a stir
at court at that time, and who, too,
went to Paris to live.
Gov.-Gen. Trepoff, upon his appoint
ment as governor-general of st. Peters
burg, induced Kashovsky to return to
ST. Petersburg, and within two weeks
the detectives captured h entire band
which has been operating here under
the direction of the Central Organlza-
ton, which apparently has its head
quarters in Switzerland.

you want to know what | think OF

quiet, chilled-steel way. He was re-
turning home from the Inauguration OF
President Roosevelt, says the New York
Sun. We'll, | know as well IS you that
there are good people in New York city.
But, taken altogether, you are the most
provincial outfit that there is in the
whole country. You've got sc much,
you think you've got it all. You think
that God stopped work when He filled
the Hudson river with water and that
all the rest of the country out beyond
just happened so. Nothing counts I'M.
less it is done in New York, by a l{ew
York man, except to laugh at.
Nov, out in our country We know
that New York is a good town. We
know that the east is all right. We
know that we're all right, too We
think that the coast is pretty good graz
ing. We're proud of the whole coun-
try. But New York is proud of itself
and thinks that the rest Of the country
is in luck to be on the same continent.
I'm not speaking in any way in harsh
ness or bitterness. But sometimes /
think you miss a lot of the JOY OF being
Americans.
And another thing. A man from out

TOYS POSSESS REAL VALUE
They Are Intended as an Assistance
in the Education of the
Child.

Miss Elizabeth Harrison, head of the
kindergarten movement in this coun-
try, says: Toys form a bridge between
the great realities of life and the child's
small capacity" If this is true then
toys which bridge from nothing to no.
where are useless, writes Miss Martha
S. Bensley, in EverybOdy's.
This was the case with the playthings
of the second family of children with
whom | lived in the capacity of nursery
governess. They had no connection
either with the present state of the chill
dren's minds or with any future stage
of development. What possible pleas
ure or profit could children of two and
four get out of a bagatelle board? They
had not the mechanical strength nor
skill to shoot the ball, still less the men
tai power to count the points, and least
Of all any care as to whether they won
or not. They had various mechanical
toys far beyond their power to manipu-
late or understand, and some japanese
things in jointed bamboo, the object OF
which | was never able to discover.
There were no blocks, no balls, nothing
to minister to their instinct for con-
Struction, but their spirit of destruction
was encouraged.
The possessions hat seemed to please
them most were a stick with a horses
head at one end, on which they could
pretend to ride; a little iron wagon
which they could drag around, some
reins with which they could play horse
and a mechanical pig whose internal
organs were a coiled spring and wheel
or two. They saw horses and wagons
in the real life around them and pigs
we're common objects in the landscape,
These toys gave them a little world OF
their own suited to their capacity, to
enjoy which they did not need the help
of an adult.

Insurance Companies Losing Money.

According to the testimony of spe-
cial agents of large fire insurance con-
Germs who have visited Jackson dur
ing the past few days, nearly every
fire company operating in the State
has lost money on Mississippi business
during the first three months OF the
present year. The heavy ratio OF loss
es is due to the large number OF hres
in small towns that have occurred
since the first of January. 1t is stat
ed that the Home Of New York, has
paid out more money since January l.
in this State than was collected II
premiums on all of its MISSISSIPPI,

London, April 19.-The Daily Nails

London, April 18.-Japanese diplo-
mats and others in London regard the
alleged breaches of neutrality by France
in allowing the Russian second Pacific
squadron to remain owe time on the
Cochin Chinese coast as n OF the most
serious developments in the situation
Minister Hayashi and Baron Suy emat'
SUI, former Japanese minister of the In
terror. were both seen by the Associated
Press today but they were diSlncllned
to give a hasty expression of opinion or
to anticipate official advices giving the
facts as to the period the Russian ship
may stay in French waters.
Minister Hayashi was particularly
r|eticent and said he preferred to wait
confirmation of the reports which have
appeared to indicate a serious breach
of neutrality. Baron Suyematsu who
took a view that was very far from be-
ing alarmist, said that if the reports
were true Japan would have good caus'
to complain. Japan, however, had nt
intention of picking a quarrel with
France, and added:
Japan is far from cOveting Cochin
China as has been imputed in some quar-
tiers. | do not think that France Is en-
couraging the Russian squadron tC
misuse French friendship. On the con.
trary l believe that France Is really
anxious to avoid trouble on account Of
the Pacific squadron. In fact, l think
responsible Frenchmen regard the
Russian as an unwelcome guest and
therefore, [ am fully convinced thai
France will manage the matter in such
a way as to avoid being compromised.
