King Hunger Makes Beasts of
Us ALI.
By DIR. WILLIAM III. THOMSON

Unfeeling Nature says to all crea-
lures, if You would live on this earth,
You must either fight, run, or hide;
and it is in obedience to this last in
junction that all shells a.. ronstruct-
ed. These are not notes of 'eace, for
peace is unknown where King Hun
gers mandates must be obeyed, else
he will infiict untold torture For
thirst there is lifeless water in abun-
dance, but only what is or has been
living will make food. I heard
naval officer describe how he learned
really to sympathize with the raven
ing wolf. when, in Greenland, he and
his dogs were nearly famished until
they and he savagely rushed together
at the still standing musk OK which
he had shot. Small thought then did
he have of how a gentleman should
take his meal.-Everybody's Magas
zine.

ITO A MAKER OF
J JAPANESE HISTORY.
Really Framer Of the Present
System OF Government OF That
Country

SouutPy
Prince Ito had one of the great
minds Of his time; Bismarck, a Ii
Hung Chang, with whom he con-
GUIDED the Tientsin Treaty In 1895.
Ito was a very good friend of the
United States. or the world-circliug
voyage Of the United States fSatSoe
sent cable message to the Ne% York
World, which ran:
The japanese nation watches with
friendly interest the voyage of the
American fleet. hoping it may visit
Japan, where it's cordial reception
will prove the falsity of foolish
rumors OF Japanese animosity and
distrust."
The battleship fleet went to Japan
and all the w"rld knows how it was
received there
Hirobumi Ito was born in Septem-
Der, 1S41. He took a large part ON
the Imperial side in the war against
the Shotgun, and was appointed Gov
ernor OF Hyogo at the victorious end
Of the war. His Imperial master sent
him to Europe with a special en-
bassy to. revise treaties in 1871.
Hirobumi Ito really established the
foundation on which Japanese bank
ing regulations are fixed. He was
Minister Of Public Works in Japan in
1878, after the Emperor's proclama-
tion announcing the Inauguration Of
representative government.
In 1888 the then Baron Ito was
dispatched to Europe and America to
gather material from which to frame
constitution for Japan. Ito really
founded the present system of gov
ernment in Japan. After the war
with China he concluded the treaty
of peace at Shimonasoki with the late
Ii Hung Chang, another ruler of men.
Ito represented Japan at Queen Vic
toria's Diamond Jubilee.
He was Prime Minister of japan
five times. His sovereign made him
Marquis of the peerage which he
himself organized in 1905. He was
appointed Resident-General of Korea
the next year. In effect, he annexed
Korea to Japan.

Former Representative Binger Her
man, of Oregon, may be prosecuted
by the United States government for
alleged land frauds committed years
ago. Herman was tried once. The
jury stood eleven to one for convic-

His trial created sensation in
Washington, where lie was well known
as member of Congress and as Com

cause of the fact that the case in
volved many well-known men, such
as the late United States Senator

20 feet square and had constructed
q rude fan Of board to keek the air
circulating. On the fan in big let
tiers were chalked the words quoted
above, indicating that the men had
lived at least until the day after the
fire started. Evidently the men had
taken turns at the crank of the fan,
for one OF the bodies had fallen over
the handles as though he had died
while struggling to maintain an air
current
That the miners were in the habit
of keeping their savings on their per.
sons was shown by the large amounts
of money found on the bodies. One
miner bad in his belt 81 400. In the
belt of another miner was found
$50 and another had $l12
1t was declared by the mine COM
pany's officers that all the nearly 300
miners killed by the disasters had
been accounted for. A few bodies are
still IN the mine but within a few
