and others, obtained by you in the preceding month

On the day following the final act in the case OF
Federal Attorney Ruick, order of dismissal from
the service of the government served upon
Ruel Rounds United States marshal for Idaho. The
order served by Assistant Attorney General
Cooley, sent from Washington to Boise to perform
the dual act of decapitation. Mr. Rounds was also
given opportunity to resign, but declined to
firm the charges laid at his door by running while

That Marshal Rounds was removed for alleged

The view that China Is to be a ten der to Japan may be put aside. h. stead, friction will grow yearly. The two nations dislike each other. They are naturally repellent. In a military and naval sense China Is still weak by the side of Japan. But as the national spirit of the Chinese empire grows. as Its national spirit increases, as 1t de- velops peaceful means of making the power of its people felt In trade and commerce, China is certain to repeat the experience of Its many-centuried history and show itself more powerful than apparently more active, vigorous and enterprising. In the end China has always won in history. It Is not strange her statesmen now look to ulti- mate triumph in Manchurls and In in- ternational disputes.

FINDS AN AMERICAN TYPE

British Paper Praises II, as Shown in Football and Baseball Cuts.
 The existence of an American type Is denied by R. G. Lindsay of the Brit ish embassy at Washington in recent report on alien immigration Into the United States, published as a Blue Book by the British government. Mir. Lindsay, who characterizes the peop- ling of this country by immigration as "one of the most remarkable move ments of population to be met with iit history" says on this point:
 Tt must take many generations he fore Americans are physlologically dif- ferentlated from Europeans as much. for example, as the French are from the Germans. There Is no such thing as an American type, and even If in the towns of Europe 1t is possible 10 point out a tourist as an American recognition Is effected by mere out ward marks, such as the style of iress'
 With this opinion the British Medi- cal Journal announces disagreement, which 1t sets forth in terms compli- mentary to the physical development If Americans. Says this paper:

Lindsay's attention to the photographs of college football and baseball teams in many of the American magazines. which exhibit a well-marked and, It may be added, a fine type. What hns become of the conventional Uncle Sam, the long, loose-limbed creature of Punch cartoons, we know not.

WALKING BEST OF EXERCISE.
It "softens sorrow. Tempers Trouble and Adds q Halo Unto Happiness"

It "softens Sorrow. Temper. Trouble
 and Adds a Halo Unto Happiness.'
 There are no substitutes for the art of walking. It permits no proxies Books may be retold by the reader, sermons repeated by the nearer, pie lures may be described by the art crit les or the humber visitor. No one can portray the pleasures of walking nor can Its advantages be secured at second hand, says the Columbia Her aid. It must be ones own individual employment. Walking Is game for any mood. The sad, the down hearted, the exultant, the serenely content, all, and those In any other mental condition may find satisfaction ln wandering out upon the earth. Walking softens sor- row, tempers trouble and adds a halo unto happiness. It gives health and vigor to body and mind. Many a head ache has been chased away by walking and many a heartache lifted or light ened. The best thing for the inside of a man Is the outside of the earth. Unlike other games, walking may be played in company or alone. It may be for one, two or more. It is at its best, of course, when played by two who are really one. Yet a solitary Journey is better far than continual stay in the house at toll or In company gay. Better loaf and invite ones soul than work or play overmuch and leave ones spirit atrophled. Sunshine and fresh air are twin agents in the promo tion of happiness and health and peace.
 Every man who walks should be a lover. He should be not merely a lover of hls companion but of the birds and buzzing bees, the bursting leaves and the blue ceiling of the sky beyond. One may walk in winter days full of frost and In summer when the days are full of fire. Iris the years rosy dawn, when nature Is robing In garments of green and gold, that she gives most of her beauty to him who loves and wor- ships her. The man who slowly walks adown the street or through the coun- try fields may then, If ever, look through the nature up to the natures God.

The BrayeSt Man.

James Creelman, the well-known war correspondent, who is on record over his own signature as having provoked the war between the United States and Spain, gives this description of the brarest man he ever saw:
 Tt was during the siege of Port Ar thur." says Mir Creelman. "On the pdge of one of the parapets. his feet hanging over the edge. sat man mak- ing sketch Of the scene. From the Japanese ships In the otiing there came continuous stream of screaming, death delivering shells. But the man sketched on unmoyed. Mauser bullets, with their peculiar snakelike hiss, flew over and beside him. In all this noise and imminent death the man continued hls work, completely absorbed in it.
 Finally there came from within the rortifcation a Russian officer of gigan- tic size He stood long beside the man wlIo was drawing and watched the pen ell carefully filing in the graphic lines. The shells from the ships when they struck the masonry stirred up a cloud of mortar dust, and as they exploded threw chunks cf broken stone in every direction. The officers uniform was covered with mortar dust, and his ia tlgue cap had been knocked awry by Mauser bullet. I have never seen a hraver man. At last he said, in eX- rellent Engllsh-for all Russians are excellent lingulsts-and speaking with m aristocratlc drawl, I say, Creel- man, aren't you ever going to finish that sketch 2 T''-James $.

Personally Conducted.

The professional guide is about the last person the visitor to the art gal
 lery would care to have with him for
 a companion. It may be instructive to listen to his talk, but the feelings of a
 sensitive person must suffer. The au-
 thor of with the Tourist Tide" shows
 the absurdity of employing guide to
 the galleries abroad, where all needed information Is given, and where the comments of a guide are impertinent. He was visiting the galleries of the Louvre.
 The best way Is to single out few pieces, or have them singled out for you, and confine yourself to them. We did this, and were paying our respects to Millet's "Gleaners," when a tourist comet swept into view, bearing down across the great hall In our direction,
 headed by a professional guide who
 had probably been picked up at the en- trance. We retired from the direct line of Its orbit, and watched 1t go past. The head halted before the picture
 while the tail telescoped.
 The following artistic introduction
 was made by the master of ceremo- nies: This Is the 'Gleaners' (The name stood above the painting in large black letters.) It was painted by Mill let. (The artists name also occurred
 just under the picture.) He painted another picture, called the 'Angelus,'
 which was sold for a hundred thou sand dollars. You might think that he was a rich man, but he died owing hls butcher and baker"
 With that the comet moved on to
 make acquaintance with other stars in the galaxy. And perhaps 1t was as well, after all, for you recall Tenny- sons story of the man who insisted on discussing market quotations while he stood beside the Venus of Milo.

 Official Center 200 Years Ago.
 Had Capt. Kidd revisited Wall street some three-and-forty years after he had become one of its pioneer proprie- tors he would have found himself in strange surroundings. and 1t Is not at all probable that he would have re- alized the dignity or importance of the thoroughfare from an external evil dence, says Harper's Magazine. h. deed, the street presented in 1I34 de- cidedly ragged and unattractive aspect. At Its eastern end or slip, in front of the Long Island ferry. stood the fiimsily constructed Meal market. whose transactions in corn and similar merchandise had been supplemented by a more profitable traffic in negro slaves. who were daily displayed in its stands for the benefit of those de siring to buy, sell or hire such con- modities, and on either side of this un- savory mart stretched broken line of mean little wooden buildings extending as far west as Williams street.
 From this point the prospect gradu- ally improved, the Broadway end boasting some dwellings of neat and attractive appearance, but the north side remained entirely vacant save for four wholly dissimilar structures. The first of these, on the northwest between William and Nassau streets, was the af Vol Thnp,nSnn ta ern keeper. beyond which loomed a huge barnlike affair erected by the Bayards in 1729. for what they termed 'the mystery of sugar refining''- mystery which Wall street has not wholly fathomed to the present day and adjoining this crude factory stood the most pretentious building on Man. haitian island-the city hail.. whose foundations had been laid in 1899 with the stones taken from the bastions of the old palisade. Beyond this. and al- most adjoining It, lay the Presbyterian church. substantial brick edifice; and at the head of the street on Broadway squatted the ugly, square little wooden building with a disproportionately tall steeple which had sheltered the con- gregation of Trinity church since 1896.
 Such was the condition of the street which had in less than half a century acquired political If not social ascend ency over all ether thoroughfares of the city, which now boasted popula- ton of nearly 10000 souls. The most potent influence effecting this result had, of course, been the selection of the street as the site of the city hall, for that building was not only the seat of government, but the social center, New York in those days being ruled by an aristocracy whose nod made the laws and set the fashions.

Gave It Up.

A friend of the writer recently made application for public appointment in a small Scottish town, and, thinking that his chances for success would be greater by a little judicious canvass ing, he resolved to call upon a few of the town councillors. In whose hands the appointment lay. Of the civic dig nltaries' position in private life he knew nothing. Journeying to the town in question, he hired a cab at the rail- way station and requested the jehu to take him to Councillor Bisset's, the treasurer. The councillor was found in his blacksmith shop shoeing a horse.
 I'll see somebody of more impor- tance than this, anyhow" said the can didate to himself, and, turning to the driver, said, Drive me to Councillor Maitland's office"
 The cabman thereupon drove hirn to the local joiner's shop. This was worse even than the smlthy, and iD despair he calculated
 Drive me to Councillor Gray's."
 -I am Councillor Gray, sir," replied the cabman.
 The answer staggered the candidate. He quietly paid his fare and disap- peared, resolved to leave his fate in their hands without prejudicing them in any way In his favor.-London Standard.
