The Highest Court.

A Chicago lawyer tells of suit that
took him to small town in Colorado
some years ago. The attorney soon dis
covered that his client had weak
case. The principal expedient to be
adopted, therefore, was to string out
the proceedings for as long period as
possible. This he succeeded in doing
by skillfully interposing numberless
exceptions and objections, but finally
Judgment was rendered against his
client.
Turning to associate counsel, the Chi.
cago man contributed q last bluff.
We'll carry the case to q higher
court" said he, with great gravity.
"I'm afraid we're done for" was the
response. "There is no higher court on
earth. This court is 10000 feet above
sea level, and that's way above the SUI
preme court Of the United States."--

cock, Withdraws Vast Tract.
Washington, July 30.-As a result
of action by the president and Secre-
tary Hitchcock, the American people
have been placed in position of In
dependence with respect to the coal
monopoly or to conflict between
miners and coal operators.
Following an exhaustive investiga-
ton, the secretary, by direction of
the president, has issued an order
withdrawing from entry 100000
acres of public lands which are
known to possess workable coal. The
order, perhaps, is in contravention of
a revised statute which provides that
all valuable mineral deposits on lands
belonging to the United States are
free and open to purchase
The coal lands withdrawn from en-
try are situated in New Mexico, Col
orado, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota.
Montana, Oregon and Washington.

Terrible Earthquake.

Vice-Counsel Wallace, at Managua,
has cabled the state department under
Wednesdays date that terrible
earthquake has occurred in Nicaragua
and it was reported to him that Ma
saya had been ruined by the eruption
Of the volcano San Diego.
Masaya is on the east side of Lake
Masaya, about 55 miles south OF Man
aqua, and % miles northeast of Ora
NADIA. The population, mostly of In
dian blood. is estimated at $4,000.
Nearly every house has it's orchard or
garden, and so the buildings are
spread over a much larger area than
the number OF inhabitants would sug-
gest. Previous to 1871, when a steam
pump was erected, all the water had
TO be carried from the lake, which
lies $40 feet below the level of the
town. The volcano of Masaya, on the
opposite side of the lake, was active
at the time OF the conquest in 1922,
and the conquerors, thinking the lava
they saw was gold. had themselves
lowered into the crater at the risk of
their lives. 1t had a great eruption
in 1870, and began 70 smoke again
in 1860.

FOR WAR
THE CHINESE BOYCOTT
HAS STARTLED THE
WORLD.
THE UNITED STATES PREPARES
FOR TROUBLE BY INCREASE
OF PHILIPPINE FORCES.
YOUNG cHlNAMEN EDUCATED IN
AMERICA LEAD THE ANTI
FOREIGN cLAMOR.
The Chinese Boycott.

President Roosevelt has decided to
establish two brigade posts in the Phil
ippines where troops will be stationed
so they can be rushed to China in the
event OF disturbances there.
A high government Official declares
that there is no use TO longer deny
the fact that the United States gov
eminent and the European powers are
apprehensiye regarding the conditions
in China, and that a serious outbreak
more serious than the Boxer uprising
is likely To happen al any time.
This government has decided that IL
will not be caught mapping" as the
official expressed 1t, and that IL pro-
poses TO be in a position to protect
American lives and property when the
critical stage of the situation is
reached.
One OF the brigade posts will be L.
Gated at Camp Mckinley and the
other at Camp Stotsenberg, and Gen.
Frederick Funston will be placed in
command of one of the posts, while
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss will be in com
mand or the other.
The First and Second regiments of
batteries OF artillery has already
been ordered to the Philippines. These
troops Will sail Feb. /, some of them
going by way OF New York and
through the Suez canal, and the others
Will sail from San Francisco. These
troops will be divided between the two
posts.
Later it is expected TO increase the
force al each post by one brigade each.
Ii is the intention Of the war depart
ment 10 have the troops in command
Of a rigadiergeneral of experience,
SO that there can be brigade man
euyres, and that when the emergency
arises the United States will be in a
position to protect their citizens and
their property.
The Chinese government is sincerely
endoayoring to check the anti-foreign
craze. Ii is questionable whether the
yiceroys were honest in their attempts
TO stop the boycott. They issued high
sounding proclamations forbidding an
tagonism of American merchants, but
there was reason TO believe no real
effort was made TO enforcC them. But
1t now looks as though the people have
got beyond the control of the viceroys
in many sections and the Chinese au-
thorities are genuinely alarmed
Chinese students who have had q
touch of western civilization are the
ringleaders in the present agitation
They are establishing newspapers in
different parts of the empire, and
spreading the anti-foreign propaganda
wherever the authorities tolerate
them.
Foreign diplomats in Washington ex-
press the opinion that the only way
10 deal with China is by force. They
declare that the policy of Cancellation
and kindness is mistake and makes
the wrong kind of an impression on
he oriental heathen's mind.

He started TO the door, hesitated,
looked back, then boldly turned and
went out. AS he descended in the ele-
vator the troubled face was before
him, and he wondered why his action
had seemed to reprehensible. He had
tried to state the case as gently as
possible, and yet from some quarter
an insistent little voice was telling
him he had made an awful botch of 1t.
He left the elevator and walked to the
exit. Then it occurred to him that
he had always intended, when she
left, that he would give her a certain
painting she had admired, and which
was hanging in her office. She might
be gone when he returned, so it was
best to do 1t now.

'but this is something I'll have TO at

He stepped to the door OF the pri-
vate office and softly opened it. Susie's
head was on her desk, and her arms
were around it. The heaving bosom
told the story of grief. CLEANERS hest
tated an instant; then walked over
and gently touched the girl on the
shoulder She raised up. startled. The
hastily used handkerchief was ineffec-
tual 10 remove the traces of tears.

this time speaking with quiet deci-

me very happy il you would accept.

time-that care more for Susie than

the phone. After listening a few sec.

young lady will be ready to go to
