Robert Jaggsby's countenanoe was
not at any time remarkable for indi-
cations of intellectual briliance, but
now, as he stood before the camera
for the purpose of sSbeing took" /" his
expression was SO inane that even
the polite photographer was moved
to protest.

s'but do you want this photograph

vertisement for new rat poison

pose you'd better try to look trife

THE REsouRcEFuL MOLE.
His Remarkable Hearing and Ability
to Get Away.

His Remarkable Hearing and Ability
to Get Away.
Speaking of quick and resource
full animals, the mole leads costly SO
far as my experience goes" said a
man who has studied the animal,
"and I dare say there are many men
who have made observations that
will confirm my contention. As you
probably know, the mole plows in
the surface of the earth, generally
making a small ridge anywhere from
two to three inches high. He moves
with remarkable rapidity even when
the ground in which he is burrowing
is hard. When operating in soft
ground he moves along at surpris-
ing gait. But this is not the point
I wanted to make. I was thinking
of the remarkably good hearing Of
the mole and the ease with which
he can get away just at the moment
when you think you have him cor
nered. OF course now and then you
can drive q spike through the mole
before he is aware of it. If you do
you will have to walk as light as a
cat and will have to act as quickly
as the same animal when the time
comes to act. In nine cases out Of
ten the mole will hear the first foot
fall. At once he will quit plowing.
He is gone. Search as you may you
cannot find him. have seen men
dig for fifty yards, following the
ridge and its offshoots, without find
ing any other trace Of the mole than
the ridge. The mole's hearing is
peculiarly keen, and I suppose this
is so because he cannot see. But
even more wonderful from my
standpoint is the ease and quickness
with which he gets away. How does
he manage it? Where does he go?
You know, the element of supersti-
ton in my makeup is slim, and 1
don't believe in ghosts, but some
how I have always inclined just bit
to the ghost theory when thinking
of the mysterious antics of these
blind burrowers. The mole is more
like a ghost in his conduct than
anything have ever known, though
of course the mole is real thing
and not an imaginary and mythical
thing"

for woman is lord of all she surveys.
The wife is the recognized head of

bered that the odds We're against him,

cumstances his Fabian policy at these
two points was perhaps the most effec-
tive that he could have adopted. Thorn
Ms Paine showed at the time how the
capture of Burgoyne was due to the
plans and work of Washington rather
than to any superior g|eneralship Oh the
part of Gates. The evacuation of Bos-
ton by the British also reflected credit
on the commander in chief, as he was
voted a medal by congress for bringing
it about.
The New York campaign, despite
W%ashington's skill, was disastrous to
forced out of Long Island, then out of
Manhattan Island, next out of New
York state and finally out of New Jer-
sey and into Pennsylvania. Washing
ton had only about 5000 men left when
he reached Pennsylvania, and, beaten
as he had been, a man of less faith and
will would have given up the struggle,
but it was Just at this point, when the
British thought they had him crushed,
that the resourcefulness of the man
began to show itself. 1t was here that
he made the brilliant moves on Trenton
and Princeton, maneuyers that have
won the praise of military s%trategists

TTINHE attempt of this age to take
Il true measure of George WASH
ington, while it has resulted in
bringing us nearer to his human
qualities. has not succeeded in giving
the country an insight Into his charac-
ter as Il commander. The greatness of
the civil war captains has somewhat
east into eclipse the truly brilliant
of the chief in the war for
independence. Not only is this SO, but
there seems a tendency in these latter
days to deny to Washington great
ability as a soldier. This is Il mistake.
In all the history of war there have
been few greater campaigns than some
of those planned and executed by this
first of American generals. Trenton,
Princeton, Monmouth and Yorktown
are witnesses that cannot be ignored.
As admirable as he was in other things
the future will see Washington's chief
greatness to have been that of a mill
tary strategist. Europe recognized this
at the time. Such celebrated warriors
us NuDOltOu anu I1ttCIltk ulc hltdl
saw it, Frederick expressing it in his
eXtravagant tribute, "From the oldest
general to the greatest
Washington has been called 1.-The
American Fabius," and with much JUS
tice. There is Il striking similarity be
tween the character and tactics of the
two. Neither was successful in pitched
battles. Both were great as tacticians.
There is no discredit to the American
in likening him to Fabius, for, while it
was Scipio who finally conquered Han
nibal, it was Fabius who wore out the
great Carthaginian. And while Wash
ington Won no notable victories in ac-
tual contests he outm%aneuvered the
British until he could make the master
stroke that ended the war.
In a study of the commander in chief
of the Revolution as Il ~strategist the
early campaigns about Boston and New
York may be passed over, although, if
closely studied, it will be discovered
that W|ashington's moves showed this

THAT CHINESE BOYCOTT.



ing American Goods Out of China.
The boycott in China against Amer
lean goods continues, and the problem
of securing satisfactory adjustment of
the difficulty that has arisen ecomes
more and more complex. The Chinese
merchants declare they will not handle
American imports until the American
congress makes satisfactory changes
in the laws governing exclusion of Chi
nese from the United States. Although
congress has been in session since early
in December, no such legislation is yet
in prospect. The Chinese minister at
Washington recently telegraphed his
government that it was extremely inn
probable legislation such us h Chi
nese desire would be enacted.
The methods of the boycotters are
unique and characteristic of the orient.
The Chinese who are engaged in keep
ing American goods out of their coun-
try do not hesitate to threaten with
death those who refuse to obey instruc-
tions. At Shanghai the Chinese agents
of leading American firms have been
notified by their fellow subjects that
they must give up their employment
, 1906-02-21

unless they wish to he shot or have
their Threats cut, their houses burned
down and their families destroyed.
The inscription reproduced in this
column is a notice which has been
posted in many parts of the Chinese
empire. 1t intimates in terms which
the oriental understands that any mer-
chant having to do with American
goods should look out, as a boycott has
been decided upon, to be in force from
the 18th of the sixth NOON. There is n
figure of a tortoise, upon which are
characters meaning "cold blooded ami
NAL" The notice ends with a threat
which signifies more than the English
equivalent of the characters express,
but which may be translated thus:
"ThOse who buy American goods read
this. They shall receive adequate
treatment"
