UNCLE SAM NOT TO BE LICKED"
After Enforcing Respect o. Europe No
Occasion to IQadx to Asia


Occasion to Toady to Asia.
1t used to be the firm belief and con-
slant assertion in this country that
Uncle Sam could lick all creation.
1t is now the gloomy conviction of
a certain proportion of the population,
including numerous newspaper edi-
tors, that Uncle San cannot lick any
bOdy-On the contrary, that he will get
licked by anybody who undertakes the
job.
There is no other way of explaining
the shivery and apprehensive attitude
of many journalists toward the Japan
csc episode. To begin with, the timid
journalists assume that the slightest
friction with the Japanese government
will result in war and, further, that
il there is war we shall inevitably be
defeated
Uncle Sam, it thus appears, has
waned rather than waXed in courage
and prowess during the last four or
five years, because previous to that
period he did not ask any odds of
anyone.
This, of course, is looking at the
matter from the standpoint Of the tim
orous ones. AS we firmly believe, how
ever, they do not represent the SenLl-
ment of the nation nor any consider
able element of it. We are not pre-
pared to acquiesce in the notion that
the people of the United States, some
$1,000. 900 in number either fear or
have any cause to fear any nation on
earth or any combination of nations
We believe that Uncle sam is just
as brave and just as HUSKY" as ne
ever was. Coming to a particular in
stance, we are firmly convinced that
having enforced the respect Of Europe
/ Uncle Sam is not going 10 become The
anxious and conciIatory toady of Asia
or any part OF ASIA. That is the plain
English of it.
Amy nation that wants trouble with
| United States OF America will certain
ly be accommodated and any nation
/ that hunts such trouble will acquire
/ strenuous experience IN the subsequent
! proceedings.

Teach Children to Love Dogs.

The child who is taught to love ami
mails and to have a dog as a compan-
ion is introduced to a friend of the
truest and best kind-the kind of
friendship that lasts. Have you new
er had dog? Then you don't know
what pleasure can be had in his COM
partnership in rambles, in his quiet
presence in your room his unobtru-
siveness when human company would
bore you; ''chum' who always
adapts himself to your mood when
man Or woman would jar upon you
BY all means cultivate in children a
love of animals, especially of mans
best friend" the dog.-New York Her

institution at Lexington, of which he
was president for five years before his
death. His graduates of the university,

Charles Francis Adams of Massa-
chusetts will deliver the principal ad-

will be banquet at night. An effort
is being made to secure the atten-
dance of every living alumnus and
representative of confederate So

All visitors will be entertained by
the citizens Of Lexington. 1t is in
tended to make the commemoration
emphasize the fact that General Lee
chose after the war to devote his life
to education.

against itself, waged the most stu
pendous, bloody and desperate war
known in the history of the human
race. If anybody in this country or out
of it has any idea that the reunited
nation, twice as populus and ten times
as wealthy, is going to "knuckle
down" or go to defeat before any 9TH
err nation or alliance of nations such
a person is strangely ignorant of the
temper and resources of the Ameri-
can people.
We desire peace and amity with ali
the peoples Of the earth. We will un,
doubtedly see that justice is done to
the Japanese in San Francisco. But
let no timorous souls imagine that it
will be because of fear or coercion.
Those words are not in Uncle Sam $
vocabulary of possibilities.

HOUSE BUILT LIKE A SHIP.
Retired Sea Captain Has a 0omicile
Ihnf 9nnaae I liza Aouae IA Him

Retired Sea Captain Has a Oomictle
That seems Like Home to Him.
One Of the most originally construct
ed houses In the United States is own
ed and occupied by Capt. NJ. p. Doul-
Tut, president of the Louisiana Navi-
cation and Fisheries company, ct
Egania and North Peters streets. Cap
tain Doullut says that he built the
house In which to end his days ana
to suit himself
He likes to feel that he Is aboard
q vessel even when he is at home and
the interior Is so constructed as to
suggest this at all times. The house
overlOOks the river and the captains
vessels land directly in front when
they are in port. From the cupola the
captain can stand and see the light of
Canal street on the right and those Of
Chalmette to the left.
The plan of this house was origin
ated by Captain Doullut. Twice he
tore up plans and was not satisfied
until he had made them different from
anything he had ever seen, and he has
travelled considerably. The house was
built by Captain Doullut and his crew
OF boatbuilders and one year was &C.
cupied in its construction. It cost
about $4,000.
The house is fifty-four feet square,
surrounded by an iron fence, with ce.
ment pavements. The rooms resemble
the interior of ship; there are port
holes, companion ways for stairs and
the lower floor, in which is located the
staterOOm, bears a striking resem-
blance to the hui of an ocean-gOing
vessel. The lower story is of brick.
the upper of frame. The roof, of slate,
is modelled after the Japanese style
The caves and cornices are built d.
rectly from japanese patterns.
The house is ceiled with pressed
steel and finished as deliberately as
the saloon of a ship. The cupola is
| constructed exactly like pilot house
and has windows all around If a
breeze is blowing the captain is sure
to catch 1t htere. The gallery is con-
tinuous and at any time the owner
can swing his hammock so as to be in
the shade. Electric lights are used
| for illuminating and everything is sit
uated SO that it is unnecessary to
leave the house for anything, even the
cistern being located on the gallery.
There Is an entrance to the yard on
Egania street, but from North Peters
it is necessary to climb TO the top OF
the levee, where one goes down a walk
like a gang plank. Captain Doulut is
satisfied that he has a house the like
of which cannot be found anywhere
in the state and he takes great pride
in showing his friends over it.-NeW

Great Majority.

Paris, Dec. 28.-The Governments
new religion measures was received
with enthusiasm in the chamber of
deputies and the bill was rapidly
voted by the overwhelming majority
of 431 against 166. Supporters of the
cabinet consider that this legislation
will greatly strengthen the ministry
for the continuance of the struggle
with the Vatican.
The discussion of the bill was short
and confined to the NJ. Lassies, Bir-
tier Perou and Berries, who repre-
sented various political groups. Prem

The attitude taken by Minister Of

to close the churches or interfere with

J. A. Martin, preaching in the morning

that music is the only living. growing
art. An art, he held, is not growing
when all of its elements have been dis
covered. Up to this day, he said,
there was a great deal in music that
had not yet been explored.
The special music by the choir
formed an attractive feature of the
services.
