Lively Times Coming.

The average war rumor that gets in
to circulation through the efforts of a
Washington correspondent when he
finds himself in desperate need of
copy is familiar to us all. The real
thing comes to us by way of the New
Orleans Picayune. The Picayune Credits
it to Montreal source and probably
Montreal heard it from San Francisco
whssh got the tip straight from Tim
buctoo or Dublin. The remarkable
yarn is to the effect that there is a
combination of France, Italy and Japan
to test the Monroe Doctrine and the
relations of the various States of the
Union to the central national Govern
ment.
1t is said that France, which owns
the island of st. Pierre Miquelon, near
the coast of New Foundland, is about
to sell it to Japan in defiance of our
Monroe Doctrine, though it is not quite
plain where the Monroe Doctrine comes
in here-and that Italy is backing Up
the scheme to get revenge for the doZ-
en-, more or less, of Italians who Were
lynched in New Orleans some years
ago for numbering Chief of Police
Hennessy. Japan is enraged because
some Of her people were not admitted
to the public State schools in San
Francisco, and wants revenge for that.
Just what grudge France has in the
premises is not stated, but she is said
to be deep in the game. Nothing is
said of England, but England is a close
ally of Japan and must night in Japan's
quarrel. Ia
AZ the story goes, the day after the
schools i'll San Francisco were closed
to the japanese living there, Italy was
the first power to assure His Majesty,
the Emperor of Japan. that it would
back him up in anything he might DO
to make the United States respect the
treaty. The example of Italy was fol-

tria. A little later France and Spain
did the same. This is what forced the
President to give at least verbal salts
faction to Japan, because his repre-
sentativeS at Toxic told him what was
going on. This means that Japan will
be assisted by the European countries
in any measure she may take to make
the United States abjure the practice
of the Monroe Doctrine, which has
been blessing to the United States,
but unpleasant to all European coun-
tries Which discovered and populated
America. Within year France, Italy,
Austria, Spain and Germany will have
naval stations in South America.
around the Antilles and in the Pacific
and Atlantic Oceans. But Japan will
even go farther, and within a few
months. or perhaps a few weeks. will
have acquired from France St. Pierre
MiQuelon, which is of no use to France
since she abdicated her French shore
rights. If the United States objects,
there will be war.
This is the tale as it comes through
New Orleans, Montreal and the other
reliable channels mentioned above. 1t
is important if true. Let us hope it is
not true.

A race with death was lost last week
in Maine The story is full of pathos. A
boy, Ammadie Perry of Shadiac, N. B..
was taken i'll with typhoid fever in a
Maine lumber camp on Russell stream.
He grew worse from the first and Fri
day. his father Isaac Perry, who was
sent for, decided to bring the boy to
Bangor for medical treatment. The ma
ture of the disease was not at that time
known Father and son travelled the
entire distance from Russell stream TO
Bangor. crossing the length Of Moose
head, in an open stage, the boy suffer-
ing untold hardships in his weakened
condition. The two took the train at
Greenville. Friday, arriving in Bangor,
Friday night. The boy was just able
to walk from the station to the hotel,
where he almost collapsed. He grew
rapidly worse and at o'clock Satur-
Gay morning he died. 1t is supposed
that the exposure and the strain of get
ting out of the woods was partially re-
sponsible for his collapse. Young Perry
was a magnificent specimen of youth,
six feet three inches in height and
broad in proportion.

custOmed to smoke and tell stories
while waiting for shave, this inter-
loper objects to tobacco smoke. and
will have none of it. Neither will she
tolerate "cuss'' words, and expresses
herself so vigorously on these points
that the men are obliged to run out
side for u smoke and to free their
minds. Unless something can be done
soon, the men have voted to go long
haired and much bewhiskered for the
rest of their natural days. AS the town
has only one barber shop the woman
has rather the advantage of the Stu
alton. So far she shows no sign OF
yielding the point.
