Refused to Discuss.

Japan also refused to discuss the
absorption of sovereignty along the
South Manchurian railway, which is
far greater than was ever charged
against Russia. Its attitude was in
glaring contrast with Russia's recog-
milton of China's sovereign right in
the recent Harbin agreement.

Another significant provision is that
should China build the Kirwin railway
cast, it must borrow half the required
capital from Japan. thus insuring ia
panese control of the important
branch from Japan's main line toward
Vladivostok. China was compelled to
transfer the Taishichao- New chwang

The Denver Live Stock Market.

Denver Union Stock Yards, De-
cember 2S.-Good cattle were 25c
to 4Oc higher this week than the
week preceding and the medium
grades closed strong to quarter
higher The receipts were very
light owing to the intervening
Christmas holiday and under good
demand everything was picked up
in short order. Packers here are
buying all the good fat cattle now
and putting them in coolers in an
ticipation of shortage later on as
the number of cattle on feed is
known to be short over the country
and this policy on their part makes
first class market for good cattle.
Few good steers were offered, most
Of the stuff here is selling at 81 to

The fact that cattle receipts at
the Denver market for the year
1905 will show an increase over
any previous year in the history
of the yards of nearly 100000 head
and a increase over last year of
about 115,0OO head while the FIVE
big eastern markets will show a
combined decrease of about $780,
600 head compared with last year
indicates that Denver is rapidly
taking her rightful place among
the big markets of the country and
proves conclusively that this mar
ket is growing in popularity with
the stock shipper. Prices pre-
vailing here all year have been
relatively higher than those pre-
vailing on the eastern markets and

Misery in Stomach.

Why not start now today, and
forever rid yourself of Stomach
trouble and Indigestion? A dieted
stomach gets the blues and grum-
bles. Give it a good eat, then
take Pape's Diapepsin to start the
digestive juices working. There
will be no dyspepsia or belching of
Gas or eructations of undigested
food; no feeling like "A lump of
lead in the stomach or heartburn,
sick headache and dizziness, and
your food will not ferment and
poison your breath with nauseous
odors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only 80
cents for large case at any drug
store here, and will relieve the
most obstinate case of indigestion
and upset stomach in five minutes.
There is nothing else better to
take gas from stomach and cleanse
the stomach and intestines, and
besides, one triangule will digest
and prepare for assimilation into
the blood all your food the same as
a sound, healthy stomach would
do it.
When Diapepsin works, your
stomach rests-gets itself in order,
cleans up-and then you feel like
eating when you come to the table.
and what you eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all stomach
misery is waiting for you as soon
as you decide to begin taking
Diapepsin. Tell your druggist
that you want Pape's Diapepsin,
because you want to be thoroughly
cured of indigestion.

The Evolution of the House

Why do we build homes, and
why does the household exist? ?
" hen we speak of the old home
stead we connect it with the men,
ories of childhood, youth, middle
life. and old age. We think of all
the good times, the weddings, holi-
days and also of the deaths that
may have occurred there. In the
early days the house was readily "a
home, and all the industries were
carried on under its roof.
To-day the home life in many
cases is quite different. The fam
lily live here and there. and com
paratively few people to-day have
lived in the same house for twenty
FIVE years. The consequence is
that there is very little RESPONSE
bility and almost no sense of pos
session in the rented house. The
| cnlluTen 10 not lake care Ol lne
trees. or fences, or walks, and
where it is furnished house the
| furniture is often abused. In the
early days in New England, each
member has a share in the work,
and so to each it was home.
Many business man returns
to-day with his grand children to
the old homestead in New Eng
land. He shows the children the
old spinning wheel, the plain, solid
furniture, the rag carpets, the hugh
kitchen, and the old trees and
shrubs. The house meant the fam
lily life and fine hospitality. The
homestead has about passed into
history. Men thought and worked
to keep this home, but machinery
has done great deal to sweep
away this life.
In this old house everything
was collected and saved and the
house that was built for a
young couple was used by
their children for many successive
generations. So, many young
people who marry to-day live in
flat or an apartment, or else they
have a house that is much too
large for their income, and there is
extravaganza, and debt, and un-
happiness before many years are
past. The house is the place
where money is spent, but not
saved. There is so many boarding
houses to-day, and it seems as if
women do not appreciate the small
house and the value of doing their
own work. MARY RAUSCH,

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT.

The president has come and gone.
He was universally accorded "the
hospitality that sits with gladness,
and the friendliness that joins with
congenial companionship." Not as
the representative of party or fac
ton, but as the chief executive Of the
country, was he received by the peo-
pie of Georgia. Without servility
or fawning they extended to him the
utmost honor and respect. During
his visit all points of difference, all
lines of demarcation, were forgotten,
even though their political faith
differed from that of his own.
The president is an appreciative
guest He recognized a spirit of good
will and responded with a crodial-
1ty and warmth which confirmed all
he had been saying in reference to
the south Since he entered the
south he had been saying that
he wanted to create a sentiment
that the south should consider itself
as near to the heart Of the central
government as now administered as
any other people in the union" His
success in that direction was very
marked, and there are reasons for
thinking that when he gets back tc
Washington he will remember his
stay in Georgia as one of the most
enjoyable parts of his trip.
