LIFE AND DEATH.

So he died for his faith That is fine
More than most of us do
But, say, can you add to that line
That he lived for it, too?
In his death he bore witness at last
AS a martyr to truth.
Did his life do the same in the past
From the days of his youth?
1t is easy to diei Men have died
For a wish or a whim-
From bravado or passion or pride,
Was IL harder for him,
But to live-every day to live out
All the truth that he dreamt,
While his friends met his conduct with
doubt
And the world with contempt
Was Ii thus that he plodded ahead,
Never turning aside?
Then we'll talk of the life that he lived
Never mind how he died.
Ernest Crosby in the Standard.

Japan IN MANCHURIA.

Viscount Hayashi in an interview ca
bled from Japan. has found it necessary
TO deny the stories about the unjust.
unfair and discriminating methods pur-
sued by his country in the Manchurian
trade. 1t was promised. as most peo-
pie Will remember, that Manchuria
would be thrown open to the merchants
anu manufacturers of the world. The
statement was made that Japan would
not interfere in behalf of her own peo-
pie or against any other nation. Yet
complaints that exactly the opposite
course is being pursued have become so
frequent that they are accepted as well
founded.
In his interview Hayashi enters a de-
NAL of all the charges. In his bland
oriental way he declares it is still
Japan's policy to afford equal oppor-
tunities and fair competition to all
corners in Manchuria and that the door
will very shortly be opened to all this.
Viscount Hayashi proceeds to explain,
somewhat deliberately, that unusual
conditions confronted his nation when
the war with Russia came to an end.
There were considerably more than
1,000,000 soldiers and non combatants
who had to be supplied at once with
food and the other necessaries of life.
Japan was the nearest source of sup
ply, and it was but natural that her
merchants should take advantage of
their opportunity. Some tradesmen, the
viscount admits, may have been unfair
I'm selling to merchants goods intended
for the soldiers. He does not explain.
however, that this would have been i'm
possible without the connivance of the
Japanese government. That govern
ment certainly would not permit the
diversion of goods consigned to soldiers
unless it expected it's tradesmen TO es-
tablish business connections In that
way, and so control the trade of the
country. 1t is hardly to be expected
that anybody will be deceived by
Hayasnis talk.
And, after all, IL it were not for the
promises that have been made, Japan
would have some color of right to q
practical monopoly Of the Manchurian
trade. Her geographical advantages
are tremendous, she offers subsidies TO
her merchants and endeavors in various
ways to promote the opening of foreign
markets. Besides, Manchurian soil is
in a way sacred soil for the japanese,
for 1t has been watered with the blood
Of thousands of her bravest sons.
The objection that the world makes
g that Japan should not make promises
If she has no intention of fulfilling |
them. Her statesmen should not issue |
to the effect tina. there is
TO be full, fair and free competition in |
Nanchuria when all the time those |
same statesmen are planning measures |
which will give to their countrymen, /
rot a shade the better of the argument,
but all the best OF it.

(London Express.)

In small city office situated in Lon
don-wall news is anxiously awaited from
man who is sitting on the edge of q
mountain lake in Colombia, Contra
America. waiting for rain.
Heavy rain may mean to him, and fol
those in the city in London wall, the
recovery of treasure worth, so experts
say, of at least e100000 900. The hero
OF the vigil is II. Knowles, managing
director in Bogota of Contractors, limit
ed. The story of the company is one
OF the most amazing romances of treas
ure seeking in history.
The Lake of Guatavita. in Colombia
lies in the basin formed by the cone OF
an extinct volcano. 1t stands 5000 tc
10000 feet above the sea level. and is
but few miles from the thriving little
coal city of Bogota. Many centuries
ago it was the Sacred Lake of Chibchas
a race which at the time of the Spanish
conquest numbered over 1000, 900 indi-
viduals.
The Chibchas worshiped the "Gilded
Man." and devoutly believed that their
deity made his home at the bottom OF
the Lake of Guatavita. Periodically
they are declared to have made pilgrim
ages TO his lake, when they east every
imaginable kind of treasure, gold, sill
yer and jewels, into the waters with the
object of propitiating the "Gilded Man,
who, through his army of priests,
threatened all kinds of pains and pen
alties unless the treasure were offered
in sufficient quantities.
The story of the Chibchas has many
times been investigated by travellers.
and all agree in believing that the lake
contains untold treasure. Humboldt,
the famous traveller and historian, was
enc of those who estimated its value
at f100, 900, 600.
An Early Failure.
Quesada, the Spanish conqueror of the
ChibChas, was told the story of the
treasure and succeeded in reducing the
water of the lake, then IA feet deep. to
fifteen feet. Then the sides fell in, and
all his labor was wasted. Further at
tempts were abandoned. and the lake
regained to very large extent its for
mer depth.
Where the great Spanish adminstrat-
or failed, however, Contractors, Limit
ed, a prosaic British syndicate, formed
just over six years ago, has determined
to succeed.
The syndicate was formed for the
purpose of exploiting a concession OBJ
tanned from the Colombian government
to drain the lake and recover for their
own uses the treasure believed to be
hidden by its waters. Among its di
rectors are r. J Price, M. p. for the
eastern division of Norfolk, chairman,
and c. j. de Murietta. It's capital was
100000, and was increased
to Esq., goo in 1903.
After six years of hard work, how
ever, some of those connected with the
are beginning to believe that
the "Gilded Man is still at the bottom
Of the lake guarding his treasure En-
finds of isolated gold and sill
yer gods and jeWeled gOddesses have
from time to time supported the tradi-
ton of the treasure, but so far the
dreams of untold wealth have not ma
First the lake was drained It was
not an easy task, for it is some nine
miles i'm length, and unforeseen diff
,ulties were continually confronting the
The most harassing of these
was the constant rain, which. winter
and summer, hardly ever ceased.
