TGate city Leased Wire servie.


NEW YORK, March 49, Sunday
"Of all the apparitions that disturb
men like Hobson, the idea of war
with Japan is the most absurd" With
this statement, Andrew Carnegie in
an interview In The World ridicules
the apprehension that a conflict be-
tween Uncle Sam and the Mikado is
imminent. In the first place, CON-
tinues the iron master, .'it would be
Impossible for Japan to transfer an
army to our shores SO great as to be
formidable. Before their ships could
possibly reach here we would have
filled our harbors with deadly explo-
sves and defy them to land Further
more Japan has no desire to quarrel
with the United States. We were the
first to welcome Japan into the broth
erhood of nations and we will be the
last to forsake her. Carnegie also as
serted that the Mexican war scare is
almost as ridiculous as Japanese war
talk.

THE TAcTFUL WoMAN's WAY
Studies Man at Most Important Hour
of Day With View OF Keep

An experienced and observant wom-
moment of the day to a mans peace
of mind is the ten minutes that fol-
low his return from the work of the
day have frequently brought him to
change his whole state OF feeling. He
comes home usually tired. Work or
day have frequently brought him to
point of fatigue or nervousness at
which very little thing may decide
what his mood will be for the rest of
the evening. OF course the particular
disposition Of every man is going to
tell here, Just as 1t does everywhere
else. But the rule will hold good for
the average man. The most important
thing for the tactful woman to do is
to wait until she sees some signs of
his temper before she makes any de-
cided move. Don't, above all things,
tell him that the plumber has just sent
in terrible bill merely for making
that little alteration. Don't talk too
much in the beginning on any subject.
Conversation taken torrentially at the
outset is likely to upset anybody who
is little tired after a days work and
who wants the quiet enjoyment of the
home.
The woman who follows this advice
will find her evenings pleasanter than
If she jumped at the beginning into
the heart of things. especially dis4
