NEW EXCLUSIVE TREATY
WITH JAPAN. VERY SOON

Washington. Sept. 12.-The events Of
the past few days indicate an exclusion
treaty with drastic provisions will be
negotiated with Japan. 1t seems much
closer to realization than was antici-
pated two days ago.. Officials regret
what appears to have been an infrac-
ton of Japanese treaty rights at Van
couver, and 1t is evident they can per-
ceive the bearing this incident will have
on the negotiations looking to the draft
ing Of q new treaty which shall put a
limit on the arrival of Japanese and
Chinese coolies. Heretofore the matter
has been covered by passport privilege,
which has been anything but sa~tisfac-
tory. Recent events indicate that
America holds the full support of Great
Britain in IN attempt to have a close
exclusion treaty. While Japan has been
on the best of terms with Britain, yet
England stands in a similar position to
the United States, and must accede to
the demands of the British colonies for
q restriction Of immigration. There is
every indication hat Secretary Root
and the japanese ambassador will soon
be employed in the draft of the new
treaty.

His Great Nose.

There was q certain eXciseman in

neat in his attire, but who had bottle
nose Of more than usual size, As he
passed through the school lane the
boys used to call him "Nosey," and
this made him so angry that he com.
planned to DR.. Butler, who sympathiz-
ed and sent for the head boy, to whom
he gave strict injunctions that the
boys should not say "Nosey" any more.
Next day, however, the exciseman re-
appeared, even more angry than be-
fore. 1t seems that not boy had said
"Nosey," but that as soon as he was
seen coming the boys ranged them
selves in two lines, through which he
must pass, and all fixed their eyes in
tently upon his nose Again DR.. Butler
summoned the head boy and spoke
more sharply. you have no business"
said he, ito annoy man who is pass
ing through the school on his lawful
occupation. Don't look at him." But
again the eXciseman returned to Dr.
Butler, furious with indignation, for
this time, as soon as he was seen,
every boy had covered his face with
his hand until he had gone by-"Life

THE NOW.

Inc charm of love is its telling, the
telling that goes with the giving;
The charm of deed is its doing; the
charm of life is its living,
The soul of the thing is the thought; !;
the charm of the act is the actor:
The soul of the fact is its truth, and
the now is its principal factor.
The world loves the now and the now
ist, and tests all assumptions with
rigor,
1t looks not behind it to failing, but
forward to ardor and vlgor;
1t cares not for heroes who faltered,
for martyrs who hustled and re-
canted,
For pictures that never we're painted
for hareests that never were planted.
The world does not care for a fra
GRANGE that never is lost in perfum-
ing,
The world does not care for the bios
SONS that wither away before bloom.
ingl
fhe world does not care for the chimes
remaining unrung by the ringer,
The world does not care for the songs
unsung in the soul of the singer.
What use to mankind is purpose
that never shone forth In a doer?
What use has the world for a loving
that never had winner nor -wooer?
The motives, the hopes and the
schemes that havo ended in idle
cenelusieps,
Are buried along with the failures,
that come In life of Illusions.
Away with the tiimsy Idea that life
with past Is attended;
There's now only now, and no past
there's never past; it has ended.
Away with It's obsolete story. and all
of Its yesterday sorrow;
Fhere's only to-day, almost gone, and
in front of to-day stands tomorrow.
And hopes that are quenchless are
sent us like loans from a generous
lender,
En1iching US all in our efforts, yet
making no poorer the sender;
Tightening all of our labors, and
thrilling us ever and ever
With the ecstasy of success and the
raptures of present endeavor.

Rest is the great restorer. We tire
our muscles by exercise and then rest
to restore them; yet great many OF
US do not stop to think how little
rest we give to our stomachs. AS a
usual thing no part of our bodies is
so generally oveIworked as our diges-
tive organs. A tired and overworked
stomach will give signs of distress to
which we pay no heed until at last
dyspepsia takes hold. Indigestion is

warning we can easily avoid further
consequences. Kodol is most thor
ough stomach relief. 1t dIgests what

Poisonous Weed Kills Sheep.

Hundreds of sheep on the ranges in
the northern part of Nevada, are dy-
Ing from the effects of eating a poi
sonous weed, which is quite rank in
that section.
The sheep men state that veterinary
surgeons are unable to successfully
compbat this disease and that they
may be compelled to drive the sheep
from the ranges.
The vegetation Is in rthe form of a
weed and grows thickly with the
bunch grass. 1t has dark green toIi-
age and resem bles other vegetation
growing on the mountain sides.
When an animal eats any of this poi
sonous weed it is seized with pains
and in short time dies IN spasms.

The Parrot Fish.

There are water parrots as well as
land parrots. The parrot fish come
from the tropics, are brilliantly colored
and have beaks something like those
of the parrot, for use in breaking of
the coral shell in order to get at the
living polyp. Not all of them, how
ever, live on animal food, some species
being herbivorous. One species is
found in the Mediterranean sea, where
1t has been known for thousands Of
years. The Greeks and Romans re-
garded it for a time as the first Of
fishes, and Pliny tells US how 1t was
introduced into the Italian sea in the
course of the reign of Claudius. 1t
was known as the 'scarus" by the an
clients, who told some wonderful sto-
ries about its love. its wisdom and its
rumination. Some having length Of
sixteen inches have been captured

Duhn0ne'a SeHI.

On the city seal Of Dubuque, Ia, ap-
pear the words La petite mutt" and
strangers are always puzzled by them.
Why should Dubuque be called 1.-The
little night?" 1t is explained that the
place originally was settled by an old
miner named Dubuque When the In
dians granted certain lands to Dubuque
the document was drawn up In French
in Prairie du Chen. The clerk who
did the work believed that "la petite
mutt" meant ''the old MINER" and his
mistake has perpetuated phrase
which, however pretty. has no signifi-
canoe in Its present connection.
