have been received regarding move
ments of the troops to the interior.
Persons arriving from Siberia say
that for several months there has
been an unbroken movement of ST.
berian troops to the southwest in the
direction of the trans Caspian dis

they could be most easily concentrat-

Tiflis advices to the Associated
Press indicate that preparations are
steadily making for an eventuality.
Ambassadors of five leading pow

tonight to have him appear tomor-
row before Justice Victor J. Bowling
of the criminal branch of the supreme
court, to plead to the perjury In

ed that zone OF the most remarkable
and one of the most encouraging
developments in current political
movements in New England has been
the marvellous growth Of sentiment
toward Governor Hughes"
Speaking Of this sentiment Cover

Remarkable, ! call it, because it
has been entirely spontaneous,
springing from eager consciousness of
our people that In him they have a
leader who embodies all the high
traditions Of New England republic
tanism; calm, dispassionate, restrain
led and resolute. The sentiment of
New England republicanfsm for Gov

growth. It arises from deep and
genuine appreciation of his deep
acter and purposes, from study Of
his mind and from an abiding faith
In him as man, and as an execu.
tive.
Chairman Milholland, who made Q

of his selection, told his hearers tina

MR.. c. TRAVELLED IN SMOKER.
Driven There by Somewhat Embar
RAISING Happening in Pullman.

Mr. c., distinguished lawyer of
Boston, was on his way to Denver
to transact some important business.
During the afternoon he noticed, in
the opposite section Of the pullman, a
sweet-faced, tfred-appearing woman
travelling with four small children. Be
ing fond of children and feeling sor-
ry for the mother, he soon made
friends with the little ones.
Early the next morning he heard
their eager questions and the patient:
yes, DEAR" of the mother as she tried
to dress them, and looking out he saw
small white foot protruding beyond
the opposite curtain. Reaching across
the aisle, he took hold of the large
toe and began to recite: "This little
pig went to market, this little pig
stayed at. home; this little pig had
roast beef, this little pig had none;
this little pig cried wee wee all the
way home" The foot was suddenly
withdrawn and a cold, quiet voice
said: THAT is quite sufficient, thank
YOU"
Mr. G.. hastily withdrew to the
smoker, where he remained until the
train arrived in Denver-Good House

Love and Envy.

The highest love is ever quickest
to detect the failures and inconsis-
tencies of the beloved. Just because
if it's intensity it can be content with
nothing less than the best, because
the best means the blessedest, and
it longs that the object of it's thoughts
should be most blessed forever. 1t is
a mistake to think that green-eyed
jealousy is the quickest to detect the
spots on the sun, the freckles on the
face, and the marring discords in the
music of life; love is quicker, more
microscopic, more exacting that the
ideal should be achieved, Envy is con-
tent to indicate the fault, and leave it
but love detects and waits and holds
its peace until the fitting opportunity
arrives and then sets itself to remove
the defect.-The Angelus.

FIND COMFORT IN THE NIGHT
Small Sorrows Quickly Vanish in Its
Friendly Shade.

And yet it seems so full of comfort
and strength, the night. In it's great
presence, our small sorrows creep
away ashamed The day has been
full of fret and care, and our hearts
have been so full of bitter thoughts,
and the world has. seemed SO hard and
wrong to us. Then, night, like some
great loving mother, gently lays her
hand upon our fevered heads and
turns our little tear-stained faces up
to hers, and smiles; and though she
does not speak, we know what she
would say, and lay our hot, flushed
cheek against her bosom, and the
pain is gone.
Nights heart is full of pity for US !;
she takes our hand in hers, and the
little world grows very small and very
far away beneath us, and borne on
her dark wings we pass for a moment
into a mightier presence than her own,
and in the wondrous light of that
great presence all human life lies
like a bark before us, and we know
that pain and sorrow are but the
angels of God.-Jerome K. Jerome.

there might be chance to get ahead.
But there was not a single one. Dave

knew every word.
Dave, how do you get your lesson
&c well now?" said the master.
II learn every word in the lesson,
and get my mother to hear me at
morning before 1 come to school. And

class is called up"
Good boy, Davei" said the master.
That's the way to success; always
work that way and you'll do
Dave to-day is the manager of big

ADVICE BROUGHT UP TO DATE.
Little Story Suggests Improvement on
Crockett's Words of Wisdom.

The other day man travelling on a
shore line train noticed, protruding
from an overhead rack, a dress suit
case. which he recognized as belonging
to a friend. He knew that his friend
always got off at the station which
they had just passed, and as he was
not in the seat the conclusion was in
evitable that he had jumped of the
train and forgotten it.
The man called the conductor and
explained the case to him. After
some discussion and a mild protest
on the part of the conductor that it
wasn't part of his duty, the suit
case was put off at the next station,
with instructions to send it back on
the first train the other way.
The man, feeling that he had done
an able and friendly act, settled down
for the rest of his journey.
But not for long! The face of his
friend-who had been in the smoker,
and who happened on that particular
afternoon, to be going to New London
to attend a dinner party-loomed be-
fore him
The moral of this is, of course, quite
evident.
Be sure you're right, and then mind
your own business.-Life.

Love the Bow on Lies Cloud.

Love is the only bow on lifes dark
cloud. It is the morning and evening
star. 1t shines on the babe, and sheds
its radiance on the quiet tomb. 1t is
the mother of art, inspirer of poet,
patriot and philosopher. 1t is the air
and light of every heart, builder Of
every home, kinder of every fire on
the hearth, it was the first dress of i'm
mortality 1t fills the world with mel
ody, for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter
that changes worthless things to joy,
and makes right royal queens and
kings of common clay. 1t is the per-
fume of that wonderful flower, the
heart, and without that sacred passion,
that divine swoon, we are less than
beasts, but with it-earth is heaven
and we are gods.-The late Col. Rob

Power from Difficulties Overcome.
The teacher of the old school who
showed his pupil the way out of every
difficulty did not perceive that he was
generating an attitude of mind greatly
initiating against success in life. The
modern instructor, however, induces
his pupil to solve his difficulties him
self; believes that in so doing he is
preparing him to meet the difficulties
which, when he goes into the world,
there will be no one to help him
through; and finds confirmation for
this belief in the fact that a great
proportion of the most successful men
are self-made.-Herbert Spencer.
