TAFT IN RUSSIA.
Secretary of War Toasted ss Gus
Next President.

Secretary of War TOastsd az Ouz
Next President.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 20.--As q
result OF the fact that Washington has
cabled Secretary Taft, requesting him
to hasten his return to the United
States. the secretary, who Is coming
across the Transsiberian railroad and
is due nj Moscow tomorrow, has sent q
telegram to Montgomery Schuyler, Jr.,
American charge d'affnires. asking him
If possible to arrange the audience with
Emperor Nicholas 80 AZ 10 enable Mr..
Taft to leave st. Petersburg the after.
noon of Dec. instead Of the night of
Dee. . as provided for in the original
schedule Mr.. Taft says that he must
catch the steamer President Grant,
which leaves Hamburg Dec. 7, and
that II he leaves st. Petersburg on the
9TH even the closest connections Will
make 1t hardly possible for him to get
to Hamburg in time.
A dispatch from European Russia
says that on board the train bearing
Secretary Taft and his party to Mos.
COW toasts were drunk TO President
Roosevelt and Emperor Nicholas. In
honor Of Thanksgiving the Russian
passengers presented an elaborate cake
TO the American secretary Of war bear
ing Russian and American flags.
In responding to the presentation
speech Secretary Taft said that he was
impressed with the resources and fer
tility of Siberia and the appearance
and the character Of the people.
He prophesled a future development
for Siberia as great as and similar tc
that Of the American western states.
Secretary Taft was toasted as the
next president of the United States
and said that he accepted it in behalf
Of him whoever 1t might be.
The visit Of Secretary Taft has given
an impetus to the stream of Russians
who come to the American embassy TO
volunteer their services for the sup.
posedly impending Japanese-American
war. This idea has got such a hold
on the people that number OF officers
have even taken steps to organize
companies Of volunteers. Mr.. Schuyler
is resorting to the Russian press to
deny the possibility of any trouble with
Japan and consequently the need Of
volunteers.
The wost absurd stories regarding
SecreUryy Taft's mission to Russia are
in general circulation. As an example
there is published tale that the sec.
rotary is authorized to arrange for the
stationing Of two Russian army corps
In the Philippine Islands and one Amer.
lean corps at Vladlvostok and that be
already has engaged n number of Rus.
sian officers at big salaries for this
service.
Dispatches received here from Tokyo |
declare that Japan, on her own initia |
tive, has marked the graves of the |
Russian soldiers who died while prls |
oners of war with granite headstones |
All the newspapers comment favorably |
upon this evidence Of the friendlness
of Japan.

To Tell Horses Character.

It is easy to tell horses character
by his nose. according to an army
officer. II the profile has a gentle
curve and at the same time the ears
are pointed and sensitive the animal
may be depended on as being gentle
and at the same time high-spirited. On
the other hand, II the horse has a
dent in the middle of his nose 1t is
safe to set him down as treacherous
and vicious, A horse with a slight
concavity In the profile will be easily
scared and needs coaxing, while one
that droops his ears is apt to be
both lazy and vicious

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO

They work night and day. When heal

impure matter daily, when unhealthy

Corn and Wheat Food.

1t is a matter of custom rather than
OF reason that we should use so much
wheat and so little corn in our daily
ration Practically all the wheat pro.
duced is converted into food for man.
1t Is probable that not one bushel Of
corn in so raised in this country goes
upon the table. That is a regrettable
anomaly when we consider that two
bushels of corn can be produced to
every bushel of wheat on given area
and that the national corn crop is four
times the national wheat crop.

Win" ON CARDU|
A TRIP NORTH.

EDITORS MARIETTA JoURNAL.-It may
interest some OF your readers to review
brief account of my trip up North,
East and West. On the l4th OF July
last, took Pullman train at Atlanta,
for Philadelphia, Pa. This train OF II
Pullman cars started from New Orleans
for Philadelphia and New York loaded
with Elks for the great herd gathering
at Philadelphia. When we reached
Philadelphia the city was over-run with
Elks, some $4,000 strong. Deliver me
from any city with such herd in It..
Some OF them were not very tame.
Went to New York the next day did
not stop long; took Hudson River train,
west side, for Albany, N. Y, then on to
Saratoga, famous summer resort and
great place for all sorts OF conyen-
tions.
We pulled into Whitehall, N. Y, at
TAO p. m, July 18th, my native place,
situated at the head OF Lake Cham
plain.
On July 18th, went on an excursion
down the Lake to Ticonderago, then
over to Lake George took the Steamer
Sycamore through the lake and toasted
my eyes on the most charming scenery
Of lake, islands and mountains any
where to be found in 80 small a space.
The lake is about 40 miles long and
from one-half mile TO four in width
The Indian name was Horizon. The
French called it Lake Sacrament, and
used it for baptizing. The English, af-
ter taking it from the French, called it
Lake George most ridiculous name
for the most beautiful lake in all the
world. Lakes are feminine. They bear
on their heaving bosoms the boats of
traffic and of pleasure. Therefore, they
should have feminine names, full OF
beauty and charm. shall have to leave
fuller description OF Lake George for
another time. have some photo cards
OF Lake George that my friends can see
when they wish. We returned from
Lake George by way of Glenn Falls,
Sandy Hill and Fort Edward most
enjoyable trip for $3.50.
On the 18th inst, / went to Cleve-
land, Ohio, by way of Albany and Buf i.
falo, on the New York Central and Lake
Shore railroad. Cleveland is a city of
10000, and growing rapidly. Left
Cleveland on the 2Oth inst. and arrived
in Marietta on the 2lst, very glad to
reach my Southern home In safety.
