A Seattle Product.

Only few years ago the only article
tasting of maple was maple sugar.
There is now an article on the market
that is so like the real maple sugar that
even old Vermonters are unable to tell
the difference. In fact, on account of
it's healthful qualities, being a purely
vegetable product, it is preferred by
many people who formerly used only
the regulation maple sugar. This new
extract is called Mapleine. 1t is a
Seattle product and can be used to ad-
vantage by the housewife in a variety
of ways. For instance, a syrup like
maple can be made by simply dissolv-
ing graduated sugar in water and add
ing a few drops of Mapleine.
The Crescent Manufacturing Com
pany, who make Mapleine, have pub
lished booklet called Mapleine Dain-
ties This will be sent free on request
to anyone who asks for it. 1t is full
of wholesome recipes.

ragged When an Attempt Was Made
to Drive Him Into Cage-It Snatched
Baby From Go-cart and Tore It to
Pieces in Front of Child's Mother.

Tucson, Ariz., Oct. 5.-A terrible
tragedy was enacted at Elysian grove,
pleasure park near here, Sunday after
noon when an immense black bear es-
capped from cage, charged upon a
throng of visitors and killed an infant,
tearing it to pieces, The animal, which
had been raised in captivity from cub,
had been in the habit of being given
soda pop at the bar, and when it
escaped it went there. 1t was driven
out by the attendants, but returned,
and when it was driven away again and
an attempt made to drive it into it's
cage it became enraged and charged the
crowd.
The wife of "a Southern Pacific en-
ploye named Buss Laird ran with a go
cart containing an infant. The bear
pursued and snatched the infant and
tore it to pieces before its mother Is
eyes. 1t was attacking the women when
a shot from a policeman s revolver

fusillade and filled the brute with bull

TOGO NEAR TO sU1c1DR
Rather than obey Emperor Against
His JUDGEMENT. He wouHd Die.

Rather than obey EmpeROr Against
HIS Judgment, He wouHd Die.
1t seems that there was a decided diff
ference of opinion among the military
and naval authorities at Toxic as to
the Intentions of Admiral Rojestvensky,
who came out from Cronstadt with
the great feet of Russian ships Most
tions to attack the southern coast of
Japan and divert attention from the
struggle in Manchuria and the siege OF
Port Arthur. They were convinced that
he would attack Kobe and Yokohama
and other ports and try to reach Toxic.
II he failed there they expected him
to sail up the eastern coast and at
tack Hakodate. At any rate, they were
absolutely certain that he would not
run the risk of almost certain destruc-
to pass through the straits between ia
pan and Korea, where Togo lay in con-
cealment waiting to pounce upon him.
This conviction was so positive that
the council of war at Toxic, which was
composed of cabinet ministers, veteran
generals and admirals and that nota-
BILE group known as 1.-The older states
men," ordered Togo to come ont of his
lair and patrol the southern coast, so as
to be near by when the attack came.
Togo demonstrated. He was convinced
that Rojestvensky had come from the
west to vindicate the Russian navy and
not to invade a fortified coast. His ar
guments were earnest, but they had no
weight with the Toxic authorities, and
he was again ordered to come down. to
defend the coast. To their amazement
he refused to obey, and they finally
appealed to the Emperor. who, at their
solicitation, repeated the order.
1t is tradition in Japan that no
man ever dlsobeyed an order Of the
Emperor. who is descended from the

OAK AND PINE.

The Value and Usefulness of These
Glasses of Woods.
Though generally assumed that oak
is the wood capable of being put to the
greatest variety of uses 1t Is known, as
a matter Of fact, that the pine Is really
the most used, on account Of its great
abundance. Nevertheless, the timber of
the oak combines in itself the essential
elements of strength and durability,
hardness and elasticity In a degree
which no other tree can boast, unrivaf-
ed as a material Of shipbuilding, also
superior In architecture, cabinetmak-
ing, carving, mill work, cooperage and
innumerable other purposes, while the
bark Is of great value as furnishing
tan and yielding bitter extract In con-
tinual demand for medicinal purposes.
But of uses for the pine details would
be well nigh endless. The timber lie In
valuable in houses and ship carpentry !;
common turpentine is extracted from It
in vast quantities. and immense sup
plies of tar, pitch, resin and lampblack
In the manufacture of matches, and,
above all, paper pulp, thousands and
tens of thousands of acres of pine for
ests are cut down every year, and,
briefly, the timber of this tree, const1-
tuting as 1t does the chief material Of
English and American builders, may be
said to be more used than all other
kinds of wood put together.

sons why he believed the Russian feet
was coming up the Straits OF KOreas
and every captain heartily tndorsed his
judgment. but the Emperor had spoken,
and they must obey him, right or
wrong. There was no alternative
Togo asked them what they would do
in his place, II the responsibility was
upon them. They answered with one
voice:
"Obey the Emperor"
He dismissed them sadly, again af-
flrming his determination to meet and
fight the Russians in the straits even
IL he had to meet them alone, and
asked them to return for a final con-
ference the following morning.
They met again, as before, even more
determined than at the previous coun-
ellis, and, finding himself without sin
gle supporter or sympathizer, Togo an
nounced his intention to solve bis d.
lemma by taking his own life. His
judgment as sailor, his conscience as
patriot, would not permit him to
abandon the spot which he had chosen
for an attack upon the Russians, and
his reverence for his sovereign would
not permit him to disobey his majestys
orders, although he was confident they
were wrong Therefore he would re-
lieve the situation by suicide, and the
next in command must assume the re-
sponsibility of carrying out the Em-
perors orders.
The admiral's farewell to his COM
mand was interrupted by an orderly.
who brought the news that Rojest-
vensky's ships had been sighted, and
in short hour every captain was at
his post and the line of battle had been
formed. The result is well known.
After the war was over and the adj
miral returned to Toxic to receive the
honors he had so richly earned, he
asked a private audience of his SOW
ereign and frankly related the story OF
his disloyalty that i have so tamely
told. None but the two men know what
was said at that interview, but 1t was
satisfactory to both.--William r. Cur
tbs, in the Chicago Record Herald.

gods, who is himself divine, and the
highest object of reverence. Hence,
when Togo received instructions from
his majesty to abandon the strategic an
chorage he had chosen and cruise down
along the southern coast to await the
mysterious feet of the enemy, he called
his captains together and laid the facts
before them. He told them that the
information he had received from his
scouts and spies, as well as his own
judgment, convinced him that the Rus

in the Straits OF Korea, and he had de-

majesty had acted upon mistaken infor-

the responsibility of disobeying his or
ders, because the honor, and perhaps
the fate, Of Japan was at stake. He
did not ask any of his captains to share
the awful responsibility with him.
Those who declined to do so would be
relieved of their commands by men who
were willing to make the sacrifice. To
those who would stay by him in de-

suspecting that he had lost his reason.
Even to suggest or to think of doubt

sacred voice of the Emperor was the
highest treason. and here was Togo de-
liberately determined to defy it. As
may be imagined, nothing else was dis
cussed or even entered the thoughts of
the captains that day, but they were
careful that the cause of their anxiety
should not become known to their sub
ordinates. They had no conference, for
none was necessary. The mind of every
man was made up from the moment
that Togo mentioned his purpose. Not
