ASIA AND RUSSIA ARMING.
German Experts Looks For War In
the Far East.

German Experts Looks For War In
the Far East.
In the light of the report recently
furnished by M. Glesmer, member Of
the Industrial delegation in the Russian
Council Of Empire, respecting the in
crease Of Japanese armanents. sum-
mary Of which was cabled to the Sun
at the time, an article in the Deutsche
Revut by Gen. Won der Boeck, one Of
Germany's most brilliant infantry COM
manders, possesses great interest, in
asmuch as both authorities believe that
peace between Russian and japan can
not be preserved beyond the close Of
the year 1912. says the London cores
pondent Of the New York Sun.
1t is not Gen. Won der Boeck's opinion
that any immediate outbreak Of hos
tilities need be feared, but in view Of
the persistent preparations Of both
powers he is inclined to think that the
peace Of Portsmouth cannot last much
longer than another two years.
The troops which Russia possessed
in the Far East at the close Of the
war, he says, have been largely
strengthened, so that at the present
time they cannot be short of a peace
footing Of 100000 men, force which If
war should break out could easily and
speedily be raised to 100000 without
drawing a single soldier from Euro
pean Russia.
Another important fact noted by Gen.
Won der Boeck is the strengthening Of
the defences of Vladivostok, which has
been raised to the rank of a first-class
fortress. But the weightiest item in
the development of Russian power in
tn Far East, according to this writer,
will be the decision to build the Amur
railway.
The third duma, in view Of the i'm
portance Of this railway, has unhesi-
tatingly devoted the necessary funds.
The Russian governments decision to
double the track Of the Siberian line Is
a step the gravity Of which cannot be
overrated.
Japan, freed for the present from
maritime cares, is similarly engaged in
strengthening her position on land.

Humorous department.
Didn't Know IL.

Xavier Paoli of the Paris police de-
partment, to whom falls the duty OF
safeguarding Europe's crowned heads
when they visit France, has an anec-
dote of the Empress Elizabeth, in Nc
Clure's Magazine for January. While
on the Riviera the empress persisted
in disregarding M. Paolis warning
against long walks on the public roads.
One day, near Mentone, she came
upon a number of road-menders. She
accosted the oldest in the group.
That is a hard trade Of yours, my
good fellow"
Not daring to raise his head he
stammered q few words in Italian.

mo, signora."
"You have children?"
''Yes, signora-"
Then here Is something for them"
and she slipped a gold piece into his
hand. "Tell them it Is from a lady
who loves children very much"
And the empress walked on.
That evening at the hotel she came
to me with laughing eyes.
well, M. Faoli, scold me! I have
disobeyed you! have been on the
Mentone road. 1 have talked with a
road-mender, and I am still alive, you
see!''
NJ. Paoli says he never dared tell
the empress that the road-mender was
one of his Corsican police agents
thoroughly armed beneath bis
clothes"

Irish We. Italian Method.-The Rev.
Sanford Culver Hearn, pastor of the
First Methodist Episcopal church, Yon-

which concerns a conductor, an Irish
man and an Italian. Each had given a

Neapolitan.
You've got your nick. No more nicks
for you. See?" And the conductor
moved to the rear platform.
The Italian sat meekly in silence, but
the Irishman employed different tao
tics. He went to the doorway.
Gimme five cints change" said he
to the conductor.
You've got all the change you're go

See here" exclaimed the Irishman,
"you may play that chune on hand

Marvellous Cyclins.-Once again the
conversation had veered round to
thrilling adventures.
That reminds me Of an experience
l had some time ago." remarked q
member. Il was riding brakeless BIZ
cycle down a steep hill when all Of a
sudden the chain snapped and careen-
ed down the rest Of the mill quicker
than creased lightning.
THE road down the hill took a turn
at direct right angles, and in the cor
ner Of the angle stood a cottage. Twas
wondering what the verdict would be
at the inquest when saw a man rest
a plank of wood against the caves Of
the cottage.
Il went straight for the plank, over
the roof and down the other side.
Luckily, the cottaser's wife and daugh-
ters were shaking carpets, and, alight-
ing on an outstretched carpet, / was
gently lowered to the ground"
A dead, dull silence descended on the
company, which was broken by the
kissing of soda water siphon.-Tit-

A VICTIM OF WORRY.
Tine Man Who Is Always Expecting
Some Kind of Trouble.

Some Kind of Trouble.
There is always a cloud on his face
because he is constantly expecting
that something unfavorable is going
to happen. There is going to be a
slump in business, or he is going to
have a loss, or somebody is trying to
undermine him, or he Is worried
about his health, or fears his children
will be sick or go wrong or be killed.
In other words, although he has
achieved quite a remarkable success,
vet he has never really had a happy
day in his life. All his life this man
has been chasing rainbows. thinking
IL he could only get little farther
on, little higher up, he would be
happy, but he is just as far from 1t
as when boy.
I believe this condition has all come
from the habit Of unhappiness which
he formed during his hard boyhood
and which he has never been able to
overcome. He has learned to look for
trouble, to expect II, ana ne gets II.
I have been his guest many time.
He has a beautiful home, a very
charming wife, a most delightful fam
lily, but there is always the same
cloud on his face, the same expression
of anxiety, of unhappiness, Of fore
boding.
A little properly directed training
in his boyhood would have changed
his whole career, and he would have
been a happy, joyous, harmonious
man instead of being discordant and
unhappy.
There is everything in starting
right. What is put into the first OF
life is put into the whole Of life

He Told BY the Weisht.-A student
of an English college mad barrel of
ale deposited in his room, contrary. Of
course, to rule and usage. He receiv-
ed a summons to appear before the
president, who said:
Sir am informed that you have a
barrel Of ale in your ROOM"
Yes, SIR
We'll, what explanation can you
make?"
why, the fact is, sir, my physician
advises me to try little each day as
a tonic, and, not wishing to go to the
various places where the beverage is
retailed, l concluded to have barrel
taken to my room"
Indeed! And have you derived any
benefit from the use Of it?"
"Ah, yes, sir. When tine barrel was
first taken to my room l could scarcely
lift 1t. Now 1 can carry it easily"

The thirteenth divisions Of her army
when war broke out have been raised
to nineteen, so that at the present mo-
ment her army on war footing would
consist of 550,000 men and 10000
horses. And as there is no lack Of men
in the Mikados empire Gen. Won der
Boeck believes that were war now to
be declared a million Japanese soldiers
could take the field within few weeks.
A most important factor in the al
tering circumstances is the renaissance
of the Chinese military power. Japan
ese instructors swarm in China, and
are swiftly building up mighty mill
tary engine as their ally.
The original plan Of the Chinese gov
ernment was to form thirty-six divis-
ions, each of 10000 men, and to nave
this entire force ready to take the field
before the year 1922, but it is perfectly
evident from the reports which have
filtered through to Europe that this
huge army will be ready by 1912, or ten
years earlier than was originally in
tended.
Gen. Won der Boeck is inclined to
believe from the reports of German Of
icers who have recently visited China
that In 1912 tine Chinese will possess
we'll equipped army of half million
men, the greater part armed with mod
ern weapons and with discipline and
infinitely superior to any
thing which China has hitherto pro-
duced. Gen. Won der Boeck thinks that
Japan's policy of Asia for the Asiatics,
with Japan at the head Of the coali-
tion Of tine yellow races, will then be
within measurable distance Of reali-
zation.
He regards the situation as extreme
ly serious and asserts that M. Stolypin,
the Russian premier, and Gen. Such
omlinoff, the minister Of war, view 1t
in a most pessimistic light.

A Gentle Roar.-A gigantic private
in the army was brought before his
commanding officer one morning chars-
ed with being disorderly in the public
street.
Who makes the charger" asked the
colonel.
Il do sir" replied the sergeant. Il
was in the town last night when
heard some one believing and roar
ing songs about 300 yards away. 1
went to the spot and saw the prisoner
Private Jones-singing at the top Of
his voice.
And you could hear MIN 800 yards
away?" asked the colonel.
Yes, sir"
"Well, what have you to say, Private
Jones?" continued the colonel, turning
to the prisoner.
Please, sir" said Private Jones, Il
was only humming."

THE FAITHFUL CAMEL.
A Dianified Beast Under All Manner
of Abuse.

In his book on "Tunis, Kairouan
and Carthage" Graham Petrie, says
Our Dumb Animals, describes the
characteristics and manners Of the
camel and the many useful services
which that faithful animal performs
He draws the cart, he treads the
wheat, he grinds the corn and he car
ries such enormous burdens of hay
and fodder that one wonders II, In
deed, his poor bumped back would
not be broken by adding the proverbi-
al straw.
Although his occupations are me-
nial, although his figure is grotesque
and ungainly although his eyes are
often covered with blinkers and his
mouth inclosed by nose bag, al
though his neck Is denuded Of Its
long, handsome collar and his BODY
Is clipped and shaved until his skin ls
as bare as the plucked ostrich, al
though he is lodged In filthy staples
and beaten with sticks by heartless
bows, he never loses his dignity OF
bearing.
The manners Of the camel are gen
orally perfect, as is noticeable when
one sees a score or more drinking at
one of the many wells outside the
town. Arranging themselves In reg
ular and orderly rows on either slde
of the trough, they stretch out their
long necks and suck up the water with
a. solemnity and orderliness that
would do credit to the formal etiquette
of a Chinese mandarin. There Is no
rude hustling for place, no indecor-
Gus haste, no selfish and ill-bred dis
regard of neighbors' needs and the
rights of others.
When a camel has assuaged his
thirst he quietly withdraws, and with
a graceful motion Of the neck which
suggests a courteous bow OF thanks'
another takes his place.
Every one knows that a Gamer Is
able to carry store OF water whlch
will last him for many days when
crossing the desert. One day as |
was watching some camels lying In
the sun, learned how the store was
utilized. saw small iridescent bub-
BILE appear from the mouth Of one OF
them, which rapidly expanded till 1t
was the size of football. For q mo-
ment it hung there, looking quite
beautiful, If little uncanny, as 1t re-
hected all the colors Of the rainbow
in the brilliant glare Of the African
noon. Then there came liquid.
gurgling sound as the water passed
down the throat into the stomach. IT

A "Phenomenon."-An old negro
preacher, while speaking to an audi
ence of his own color, chanced to
make use, in the course Of his remarks,
of the word phenomenon" This
rather puzzled several Of his hearers,
who at the close of the meeting ask
ed to be informed Of it's meaning. Not
knowing quite how to answer them,
the preacher put them off until the
following Sunday, when he thus ex-
planned:
eff you see a COW, that's not phe-
nomenon. If you see bird that sings,
that's not a phenomenon. If you see
a thistle, that's not a phenomenon,
either. But" he said, 'if you see a
cow sitting on thistle and singing
like a bird, then that's phenomenon.
