LONESOME XMAS
FOR DRUMMER
How the Hotel SOjOurner
Passes Day Away From
Family

An the hotels are making elaborate
preparations for Christmas holidays.
but it is a well-known fact that more
attention lis generally given 20 the ac-
coumodatlon of the guests on Thanks
giving Day than TO those of Christ

The reason for this lies i'm the fact
that hundreds OF travelling men have
no opportunity for spending Thanks
giving Day at their homes, when on
the other hand they lazy an their plans
so that they may be at home ON
Christmas Day
Christmas Day is essentially the one
day IN the year when every man
wishes to be at home with his family,
and very few indeed are the travelling
mon who allow themselves 10 be found
away from their homes when Christ
mas rolls round
Those who are so unfortunate as TO
miss their trains or be delayed from
other causes generally give up the
cherished hope of going home only
after they have made a frantic in
spcction OF time tables. and when the
last hope has fed a telegram Is In
variably sent to the loved ones al
home. wishing them a MERRY Christ
mas" and explaining why they could
not be at home.
There are also those who are per-
haps hundreds or even thousands Of
miles from their homes. and they are
the ones Who after the straightest
sect OF the Stoics, resign themselves TO
their fate and enjoy the day as much
as possible by eating a splendid
Christmas dinner and reading letters
from those at home.
After a second or third careful pc
rusal, the letters are reverently folded
and then il is either "a hunting party
or cards, or some Of the other time

Many months must pass before the armada of Admiral Bob Evans could achieve or even commence its gigan- tic work. At that time the govern ments ought to have been able to reach an agreement, if they really so desire.
 All the same, the situation is very serious. One must not take the re- markable calm of the Japs for indif- ference. it is only a new proof of their wonderful power of dissimula- tion. The sending of the Russian Naval force to Port Arthur was re- ceived with just the same reserve.
 The Japanese government knows what a formidable weight is threwn into the balance by the arrival in the Pacific Ocean of the sixteen mighty battleships floating the star-spangled banner. It will keep an eye on the interests of it's people by every means in it's power, but it will do so by peaceful methods. AS it's demands are just and as the power of the United States Is in the hands of pru- dent men the world at the present time hopes that an agreement may be reached, and no one desires this any more than France.

 Major Dreyfus now finds, however that officers who were juniors to him in 1894 are now Lieutenant-Colone and thus as the greatest grievance a military man can have is being passed by in promotion.
 A few days ago he wrote letter to General Piquart, Secretary of War, who was his staunch champion throughout the whole affair, but that he could do nothing for him. Major Dreyfus then resigned, but in spite of this there is still chance that he may get what he wants, fer his resignation has not yet been sc- cepted by the War Department, and the socialistic party is working hard on his behalf.

ROYAL THIEF IS SAID ID BE
 CRAZY
Therefore Princess Will Not Be Punished for Stealing Silver ware at Hotels Over Europe for Long Time.
Special Cable to Review.) By Walter Dunkirk.


 BERLIN, Aug 3.-No punishment Is to follow the conviction of Princess yon Wrede, who systematically stole silver plate from Hotels in European capitals. Although she was found guilty at her trial last year, she is now declared to be mentally unsound and exempt from punishment"
 The princess, who is very wealthy, belongs to one of the most distin- guished German families-which is the main reason why she is not in jail at this moment. It is likely that the public prosecutor will appealt against this merciful judgment, on the ground that the princess was sane at the time she committed the thefts. The arrest of he Princess followed on the prosecution of the Prinse's valet for blackmail, who had demand ed money for his. silence regarding the contents of the cellars at Base dow Castle. efore going to jail, the valet informed the police, and in the cellars were found a number of cases packed full of silver plate stolen from the most fashionable hotels in Europe.

To the fact that many French naval officers are addicted to the use of opium Is ascribed the many myste:i- ous mishaps and disasters which have happened to French war vessels dur ing the last few weeks one of whieh nearly resulted in the blowing up of the battleship "Hoche' at Toulon and another which nearly sank submarine
 boat "Ubis," at Cherbourg, where she had just been launched.
 Professor Jeanselme of the Paris Faculty of Medicine has convinced l the Minister of Marine with thNB; facts, and as a result general order has been issued forbidding all opium smoking on board war vessels. When I saw Professor Jeanselne yesterday he said to me: T am abso- lutely convinced that my explanation is the right one. know Q great many naval officers. who beca lse of
 opium smoking no longer possess .he energy, decision and courage neces- sary to command. Any of them act 1 ing as officer of the watch is quite capable of wrecking his ship in one of these lapses of intelligence com
 mon among opium smokers
 While I was travelling in the far East I found that very large num-
 Der of the French officials and sol
 diers are opium smokers and accord l ing to my calculations there are aoout J5 per cent of opium slaves in .he Co., lonial Infantry regiment, 20 per cent
 in the Foreign Legion and 2J per cent among Frenchmen in native regi-
 ments.
 l Our own naval ports, Marseilles and i Toulon are filled with the ..lest kind ! of opium dens.

The Archduke Franz Ferdinand heir to the throne of Austria Hungary is compelled by the Italian courts to pay big sum in respect of prop erty in Rome which he owns but has never seen, nor wished to see.
 The property is question Is the famous Villa d'Fate, which he inher- ited from the Duke Modena. The Archduke has never visited the villa, because he has vowed never to enter Rome, which, as a fervent Catholic, he considers the prison of the Pope.''
 The villa was lent to the late Cardi- nal Hohenlohe, who found 1t neces- sary to spend large sum on improve ments to make it habitable. The Car dinaIs heir claimed the sum spent by his Eminence from the present owner of the villa, and won the day in his suit against the Archduke. The lat ter is in great chagrin at having to pay for repairs to property he has
 ever used and does not want.

Frigid Weather in the Canadian
North West.

1t might be we'll for Iowa people
to spend at least one winter in the
Canadian north west before purchas-
ing or trading for land in that frigid
region. The following extracts from
a letter written by John Davidson,
a former resident of Dubuque county,
and published in the Cascade Phone Ell
Of last week, give some idea of the
hardship Of those who are spendin J,
the winter near Mortiach, Sask.
Canada:
I'VE haven't over so pounds OF
coal and no wood. There was not
one pound Of coal in town when we
were there the last two times. II
used to be SIS per ton but is now
SIP to SIS. We are not so bad of
as some but / find it pretty tough
So below zero and so pounds of coal
on hand. 1t las been an awful
winter and no chance of earning a
dollar, and it's a job getting money,
there does not seem to be any money
in the country.
The wind blows here for three OF
four days at time. My stable
stands 8 feet high and it is about &c
yards from the house, yet we car
only see the roof and nearly every
morning I have to dig out about
feet of snow. The curbing of m,
we'll is about 81 feet above th,
ground and 1 have another p fee
to dig to get to the cover on top O
the well. There have been days wher
we could only stand the cold long
enough to dig out the top door o.
the stable and fire in the feed ane
let the horses go without water.
never heard of such q thing in Iowa
A neighbor of mine let his horse
go two days without water.
You have no idea of the severit,
of the snow storms in this country
1t is like sand and gets into you
ewes and nose until you think tina
you can hardly stand it longer, an,
you can't see more than ten step
ahead.
