NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
THE WAY OF ESCAPE.
[sioux City Journal

Things that are Of good repute can
we'll get along without a label. A
generous thought will return generos-
ity, and a good deed will set a light
in the life. The power of righteous
ness, exerted under whatever impulse.
will give touch Of the divine life and
put the heart to singing with it's glad
ness.
The way of escape from trouble is
not in the pursuit Of it, for the way
it leads is to deeper depths. The
way of escape from trouble is the
way of search for blessing, which no
one has far to go to find. There is
delightful adventure in this search
for the blessing multiplies as it is
pursued, as vein of gold broadening
in the rock.

Assando referred sarcastically to pre-

which Vitallio demanded that Asssndo
should take back an epithet he had used.
Assando refused; and this so enraged Vi

The only persons who overheard these
remarks were the bartender. Vincenzo Tu-

and a minute later Vitailio went 10 the
sidewalk followed by Tatinno.

NO RUPTURE

st. Petersburg, Dec. 1s.--The Russo-
Japanese negotiations. the status Of
which last week were highly unsatis-
factory, have entered upon a favorable
stage and rupture is no longer an
ticipated.
1t is believed that a satisfactory
arrangement, defining the extent TO
which the Japanese shall enjoy FISH,
ing rights on the Siberian coasts and
also giving the Japanese the privilege
OF acquiring stations ashore for cry
ing fish. will be attanable without the
suggested appeal TO the good Offices
OF other powers. The Russians realize
that failure of the negotia sions
would open the door for Japanese fish
ermen to raid the fishing grounds at
will, and as the littoral is most sparse
ly settled and only n few vessels are
available for patroling IL this is the
strongest argument in favor OF Russia
granting concessions.
