Not the Least Alarmed,

"The last time l was around here
was telling you about the comet" said
the tourist.
II remember, boss,' grinned the
freckled lad on the fence.
Didn't frighten you much"
mot bit, stranger"
"Well, listen. Since then l have
found out that the comet will be equal
to twenty full moons"
Good news, by heck! Tharll be
more spooning than ever dad won't
have to burn so many candles, and the
mules can feed at night and work
twice as hard in the daytime"
you seem to be good prophet,
bub. Do you know the tail Of this
comet will sweep the earth next MayT
THAT ought to please ma, sir, be-
cause May is housecleaning time"
"You seem to be the limit, young
man. Suppose you awake some morn
ing and find there Is nothing left but
the farm"
"Just what l am thinking. stranger.

The chief weakness of the advice
coming from many quarters not to
mix in the business Of Japan in Man
churia is the fact that this country has
mixed in. Nearly six years ago Secre-
tary John Hay originated the United
States policy of maintaining the integ-
rity of China in the Russo-Japanese
conflict within Chinese territory. The
peace of Portsmouth was concluded
with the approval of the United
States, and that document seemed to
explicitly bar Japan from the course
in Manchuria which she has of late
pursued and apparently intends to con-
tinue.
Like the planting Of our flag, the set
ting up Of our policy in the far east is
the step that cost. 1t must stay to the
fore until good and sufficient reasons
exist for its withdrawal. All along
the people of this country have taken
pride in the worldwide tribute that
"the United States Is the only power
which can look China in the face
without blushing." To let Japan have
her own way with railroads in Man
churia might be defensible diplomacy,
but would look like abandonment of
the integrity of China to it's fate in a
crisis as important as any raised by
the recent war.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR
His One Great Chance.

One who had been very rich slowly
approached the gates of pearl.
He appeared to be In doubt.
There was nothing in his manner to
indicate that he expected to be well
coined with open arms or blare of
trumpets.
He saw others, those who had been
poor and humble upon the earth. walk
up confidently to the splendid entrance
and gain ready admittance.
Frequently he paused as II he had
decided to turn back. but little by lit
tie he drew nearer to the place where
his fate was to be decided.
At last he stood before the gate and
peered through at the magnificent
scene within.
Then the saint who kept the key.
perceiving him, asked:

very rich. THE best | can hope for

of each others obstinacy with mar
rowed eyes.
Pretty Emily came and peeped at
them through the kitchen door, and at
sight of their angry faces her own
went quite pale.
Finally her father spoke. "NIy
daughter Emily shan't marry any one
except he descends from over the
Mountain Dodge No need to make
that any palmer, eh?"
Addison Dodge grew white to the
lips, and for the first time his eyes met
the pleading ones of his sweetheart.
His teeth snapped angrily, and he
turned his miserable glance away from
Emily's face.
II don't know what you're getting at.
sir" he said hoarsely. do you mean
to say that If | don't admit I'm a de-
scendant of Over the Mountain Dodge
that you'll forbid Emily's marrying
me?"
That's what mean." snapped Luke
Goddard
Addison turned toward the door.
Very well, sir Pm not going to lie
about the matter to gain anything. not
even Emily. She wouldn't want me 10,
would you. dear?"
His voice dropped into tenderness as
she came forward and slipped her
hand into his.
mo" said Emily with trembling lins
Father knows shall never marry
without his consent. and If he feels
that he is justified in making me un-
happy over the question of some man
who is dead and buried this hundred
years, why. have nothing to say"
She broke into sobs and hid her face
In her hands.
Except 'goodby.'" added Addison
Dodge, kissing her golden head.
The outer door opened and closed
and left Luke Goddard and his daugb.
ter alone in the mountain cabin.
Outside the door Addison DODGE
thrust his arms savagely into the
sleeves of his heavy jacket, belted If
snugly about his waist and pulled
his cap down over his ears.
Then he strapped on the snowsboes
that he had left beside the door and.
throwing his gun over his shoulder.

The Meeting of the Governors.


Whatever name may be formally
adopted as beftting the scope Of the
annual meeting of the governors who
shall assemble to compare views. the
movement is likely to be important
and the results encouraging. The first
meeting was announced as Il confer
ence. "a house of governors" has
been suggested, although in such cen.
nection the word "house" would imply
legislative functions, which, of course,
governors do not perform.
Uniformity in laws throughout the
states would be generally desirable,
and the governors might help toward
this end. But uniformity in the spirit
in which laws are lived up to is also
essential, and here the influence and
cooperation of governors would be
effective. a wide range Of topics has
been suggested as proper to bring be-
fore a conference of the heads of the
several states. Among these are mar,
riage and divorce, the status of wom-
en-, prison reform, election reform and
special taxation. Extradition is mat
ter of executive action and is all the
more subject for governors to con-
slider, most all others being finally
dependent upon legislative will. True,
relief through federal legislation is
often difficult and must come through
state action.

There's no use talking. Addison. I've
got 1t all fixed in my mind plain as can
be that you're descended from Over

in the white farm on the east slope"
Mr.. Luke Goddard knocked the ashes
from his pipe and carefully refilled
the bowl
When he had returned 1t to his lips
and applied match. he lifted his
keen gray eyes to the obstinate face
of the young man on the other side of
the hearth.
What say. Addlson?" he insisted.
Addison Dodge arose to his great
height and looked down on the little
gray bearded father of Emily God
dard.
81 ought to know who my great
grandfather was" he said with cold
dignity. lover the Mountain Dodge
wasn't any ancestor of mine. I'm de-
scended from Philemon Dodge of Exc
ter and nobody else, sir"
Emily Goddard's father shook
crooked forefnger at Emily's lover,
and his shrill voice quavered with
rage.
Don't you dare contradict me to my
face, Addison Dodge! I'd like to know
who twas that taught school on the
mountain here for thirty years-eh?'
"You did" returned Addison crisply.
"Who is 1t that's allowed to know
the genealogy of every man, woman
and child in Peters county, eh?"
"You"
"Who is it that's referred to when
the committee wants to find out who
fit in the wars, eh?'
"You."
Luke Goddard's voice rose trium-
phant. "And who are you that sets up
and tells me that you amt descended
from over the Mountain Dodge when
| say you are. eh?"
"I'm Philemon Dodge's great-grand-
son." retorted Addison firmly, land no
body else"
There was a long silence after that
