pOrtunity to repurchase the player at

ments providing for purchase, in or
der that all the transactions may be

be filed with the commission by any

AUTOS MUST NOT
EMIT BAD DOORS

Paris, France, Jan. 29.-For near
~ eight years there has been law
In Paris under which the Projects
forbade the use of automobiles emit
ting disagrecaNle odors. II was a
question who was legally responsible
for the infraction OF the law, the
chauffeurs or the owners.
Two of the three Police Judges
ruled that the chauffeurs were re-
yponsible, but the president Of the
Police Court decided that the respon-
Bibility was upon the owner In the
case at bar and found him guilty.
The Appeal Court has reversed this
decision and ordered that the chauf-
feur be held guilty.

BIG WARSHIP FLEET.
President Evidently Showing a
Bluff at japan.

Admiral Evans is to sail shortly with
twenty of our biggest ships around the
Horn to San Francisco. President
Roosevelt wants the nations, especially
Japan, torealize what we can do in the
way of modifying.
Our naval activity is causing much
excitement in the Philippines. Leading
Philippine organs announce that they
side with the Americans against the
Japanese. All the japanese laborers
employed in the navy yard at Olangapo
have been discharged.
Rear-Admiral w. J. Thompson,
United States Navy, retired, who has
returned from a short stay in the
Orient, predicts a war with Japan
within five years. Admiral Thompson
says that war is inevitable, but he does
not believe that Great Britain will as
sist her ally in such a struggle and
thinks that while the Philippines may be
lost at the real outset of the war, in
the end the resources of the United
States must result in defeat for the
japanese. He believes that in the
event of hostilities France would give
financial aid to Japan.

IF WE HAD BUT A DAY.

Scientists tell Us there are MANY
species of insects in the lower orders
of animal life that are born into ex-
istence, live lifetime and die Of
old age within a minute of time.
To them the minute of life is as
much as the ten years to cat, the
seventy years to man, the one hun
dred years to goose or swan or the
thousand years to the whale. Yet
no man of us is guaranteed the
allotted span; the majority die far
short of it, and multitudes without a
days notice. In reality it is a solemn
truth that not one of us is guaran-
teed another moment of life. For
this reason the good book and its
expounders tell us to be ready at all
times. Not knowing, then, that we
have but day-the present one
how should our time be improved !?
A little poem from Miss Dickinson
fills the answer right here
We should fill the hours with the sweetest
things,
If we had but day!
We should drink alone at the purest springs
In our upward way;
We should love with a lifetime's love in an
hour,
III the hours were few;
We should rest. not for dreams but for
fresher power
To be and to do!
We should guide our Maynard or wearied willis
By the clearest light;
We should keep our eyes on the heavenly
hills,
If they lay in sight;
We should tramp,e the pride and discon,o,,
Beneath our feet;
We should take whatever the good God sen,
With a trust completed
we should waste no moments in weak regret
1.-THE day were but one;
IL what we remember and what we FORGET
Went out with the sun;
We should be from our clamorous selves sc
free,
To work or to pray,
And be what the Father would have us be.
IL we had but day

JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION NOTES.

With the American boys as orators
and declaimers and as musicians,
American Boy Day" at the Exposition
was celebrated in true American boy
spirit by hundreds of American BOYS.
The exercises were unique. Only two
men-William S. Sprague, of Detroit,
who worked up the day and President
Undertook any part in the program.
The other speakers were all boys I'M
der eighteen years of age. A number
of orations and toasts, creditable to
men, were made by boys from eleven
to eighteen years.
An innovation in the way of EXPOSE
ton attractions is upon the Warpath
at Jamestown, and the nature of the
exhibition is one calculated to draw
largely from all classes of sightseers.
When that famous play, ''Ben Hur, I"
had its premiere, the whole world was
astounded with the spectacle of gallop-
ing horses attached to chariots appar-
emily going at full speed on the stage,
but, these horses kept the scene going,
at the most, for from thirty to the
record of forty FIVE seconds, and it was
estimated that the latter figure could
not be exceeded. The horse ridden in
this production completes in full view
of the audience, the whole journey
from Charlestown to Lexington Green,
the different scenes en- route being
wildly presented by means of elabor-
ately conceived, and artistically exc
cuted panoramas revolving in divers
directions, and illuminated by most
wonderful electrical effects. This is
the first escalator, or moving stage
ever erected in Virginia, and silently
propelled by an enormous motor, runs
at the rate of over thirty miles an hour.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
production can be gained, when it is
stated that over twenty artists were
necessary to make water-color draw
ings of the various places of interest
throughout the ride, and the scenery
has taken nearly year to complete.

JUDGES DISAGREE OVER ALE.

A dispatch from Chicago saws that
Judge Willard McEwen's declaration
that lie in court under oath was per.
missible-even justifiable- spoken
in defence OF woman's honor. has
divided the bench of Chicago, and
caused no end of discussion.
Judge McEwen, who is founder
of the now famous Sunrise Divorce
Court" declared:
"Lie like gentleman to shield a
woman"
Much depends on the woman, Judge.
but its gallant speech, even if it isn't
good law.
Mark Twain relates that Tom Saw
yer once stood up in school and falsely
said, Il done it," in order to shield a
girl who had committed some breach of
discipline; then took his whipping like a
cavalier; and Mark further declares
that 1T was grand and glorious lie.
worthy to pass down the corridors of
time arm In arm with the George Wash
lngton cherry-tree incident.
But Judge Mackenzie Clelapd saws
that he can conceive of no circumstance
in which lie is justifiable.
There are various definitions of a lie.
Some diplomat has said that lie is
a false statement to a person who has
the right to know the truth, and we
doubt If Judge Cleland would feel called
upon to speak the exact truth about
his private concerns in reply to cues
tons from an impairment poll PRIV.
Moreover, we should like to have
a decision from Judge Cleland on the
following circumstance" Three men
were engaged in business which was
on the verge of bankru ptcy. One of
them whom we shall call Smith. called
on the proprietor of another Concern
whose name shall be Jones, and offered
to sell. Jones replied that he was will
ing to negotiate, but for good reasons
was unwilling that the other partners
should know it. He therefore exacted
promise from Smith that under no
clrcum stances would he let his assoc
ciates know that Jones had offered to
buy. Having given his word. Smith
sought his partners and disclosed his
plan. No sooner had he done SO. how
ever, than one of them asked point
blank; docs the offer come from
Jones?" What reply should Smith have
made! This Is true story, and it
may be added that Smith was a truth
full man and man of his word.-Times-

AFTER FLOATING DEN.

Vigorous action taken by Governor
Swanson indicates clearly his purpose
to exhaust every means at his command
to put stop to certain disgraceful
practices within the border of the State,
and to bring to speedy justice those
who are openly violating Virginia laws
by gambling, liquor selling and car
ousing on the Sabbath day.
During his stay at jamestown last
week His Excellency took up the mat
ter of the Sunday violations and the
general rowdiness heretofore INDUCED
in at Pine Beach, and he received as
surances from the Norfolk county au-
thorities that proper steps would be
taken to prevent a recurrence of the
disorder. But a much more interesting
and far-reaching case is that of the
infamous gambling Ark in the Potomac
river, to which the Governor has di-
rected his attention. This continuance.
which has been in operation for some
time; and which has defied the Virginia
and Maryland authorities, is q sort
OF house-boat-a floating barroom and
gambling den, paying no license and
permitting its patrons to indulge in
nearly every form of lawlessness.
Sunday is considered harvest time
for the gambling ark. 1t anchors
somewhere near the Virginia-Mary
land line in the Potomac and sends
small boats to Alexandria, Washing
ton, Georgetown and other nearby
points to bring in the sports" who
are said to be the widest bunch" who
ever operated in that community.
