4 cHILDs EVENING PRAYER.

Bre on my bed my limbs lay,
God grant me grace my prayers to
say;
o God! preserve my mother dear
In strength and health for many a
year:
And. O! preserve my father too,
And may l pay him reverence due;
And may l my best thoughts employ
To be my parents hope and joy;
And, o! preserve my brothers both
From evil doings and from sloth.
And may we Always love each other,
Our friends, our father and our
mother
And still, 0 Lord, to me impart,
An innocent and grateful heart,
That after my last sleep may
Awake to Thy eternal day!
Amen

ovJO trained soldiers, are in the Ha-

1t is said that the Japanese migra-

department, and the members of the
two brigades have been sent slowly
and without attracting any attention
Tho official information here indi-
Gates that the Japanese could seize

on the part of Japan is looked upon
as characteristic of the crafty and in

FORAKER WHACkS THEM.
Gets After Roosevelt, Taft and Till
man.

man.
Bellefontaine, Ohio.-If a public
mans head escaped a crack at Sen
ator Foraker's hands recently it was
because the senator failed to see IT..
Roosevelt and his "big stick" Taft
and his presidential candidacy, Till
man and his race antipathies, and
Burton and his senatorial aspirations
received especial attention. Senator
Foraker has refrained thus far from
any direct reference to the talk of
Taft as a presidential possibility In
his speech here tonight he made it
clear that he not only proposes to
fight vigorously for his own political
life, but will do all in his power to
see that Taft fails of the presidential
nomination.
1.-THE big stick" he said, won't
work with any free born American,
nor will it do any good to sugar 1t
with postoffice job"
Then he turned to Taft I'm not a
candidate for Office" he said, but II
| should be l would not get lockjaw.
| don't have to hold Office to live
Secretary Taft is reported to have
said not longer than the day before
Yesterday that he wanted tariff re-
vision. Former Governor Herrick said
he wanted it, too. l don't wonder.
Congressman Burton, who is said
to want my place in the senate, is
another who wants revision. | would
like to know where these men who
want to be candidates are to begin TO
revise. They say Taft is going TO
run for president. l understand ne

Columbus. | hope he tells us how he
is going to revise the tariff. These
aspirants for Office must take posi-
tons on the nations great problems
before | vote for them. I'm beginning
to be particular for whom | vote"
Then the senator turned to Tillman
arguing that the 14th and 18th amend
ments to the constitution were made
necessary by the situation created by
secession. Men like Tillman and Var
daman do not voice the south's true
sentiments. Andrew Jackson, he re
marked, and here by innuendo ne
rapped Roosevelt again, was one OF
the presidents who believed executive
mower everything, and undertook re
construction without consulting the
congress.

Indignant at a woman's description
of the inhuman treatment to which
she had been subjected by man who
claimed to be "her master" and
aroused by statements that his abuse
had taken place in the presence of
men who would not interfere, Judge
Tuthill declared that in extreme cases
violence should be met with violence,

at is a womans duty either to kill
man or get away from him." was the
judges emphatic utterance.
The court also recommended that
neighbors should rush in to a suffer

weapon to hand. He announced that
any one who took such action would
find friend in him.

UPRISING IN KOREA
MUTIN0US KOREAN TROOPS In
SEOUL ATTACK JAPS.
The Result Of Japanese Domination
Which Caused a General Outbreak
MANY Residences Burned-The
Streets In Control Of a Frenzled
Mob.

Seoul, Korea, July 29.-Backed by
a roaring mob many thousands strong.
the mutinous Korean troops In Seoul
are trying to exterminate the Japan
csc in Seoul
The uprising occurred so suddenly
that the mikado's forces in the Kor-
can capital were taken absolutely by
surprise. The attack was made first
against the police. whom they fairly
swept before them.
The Korean soldiers started the
rioting. The populace quickly joined
them. The soldiers were formidable
from their organization and arms
which the Japanese have not felt
strong enough to take from them.
Seven of the finest Japanese resi-
dences in Seoul were sacked and des
troyed with scarcely an effort at re
sistance by the mikado's forces.
Many Japanese have been injured
and among the Koreans the loss IL
killed and wounded must have
been heavy, though, with the fghl
still in progress and the entire city il
a turmoil, an accurate estimate O.
numbers is impossible.
The outbreak is, of course, the di
rect result of Japanese domination O.
the country, general dissatisfaction
with the new treaty and the deposi
ton of the former emperor.
The Korean cabinet members art
again the objects of the bitterest exc
Grafton.
They have taken refuge in the pal
ace, where the Japanese minister will
doubtless be able to protect then
from violence.
