BERLIN, Dec. 19.-Declaring that
President Taft has furnished the
world a shining example of shirtsleeve
politics which makes him the laughing
stock of the world, the Post, one OF
Germanys most conservative papers,
this evening jeers America for the at
titude she has taken with respect to
Russia The Post says in part:
America has always been noted for
it's lack of culture and good breeding
and it's failure to have any conception
of good manners in political affairs.
The action of Taft is a shining exam
Pile of shirtsleeve politics and shows
that the supposedly conservative
president is possessed of the rough
cowboy spirit which flourishes in
Americas political circles.
THE position of America is one OF
the utmost political insolence. Presi-
dent Taft Is assuming the role Of
guardian of world morals Is it possi-
BILE there is nothing at home for him to
do along this line? He has made him.
self laughing stock for all Europe.
Americas theatrical pose is all bluff,
and should not be taken seriously 1t
only remains for Russia to stand firm.
The United States will not dare to go
to war. If she does, Russia can count
on japan to use her fleet to protect
the Slavonic possessions in the
Orient"

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 19.-Anti-
semitic agitators are denouncing the
United States on every hand today fol-
lowing the notification by President
Taft that the treaty Of 1892 would be
abrogated. Although unwilling to talk
for publication, government officials
are very bitter towards the American
government and there is considerable
talk of boycotting American goods
both at home and in Manchuria.
The government believes that Presi-
dent Taft's action was taken In order
to bolster up an already weakened
political career and that he expects to
retain his Office through the in
fluence Of Jewish money and votes"
News of the sudden rupture in the
relations between the two countries
is being suppressed to certain ex-
tent but the public has received at
least vague idea Of the situation
through the bitter anti-American edi-
torials that appeared in this mornings
press American Ambassador Curtis
Guild, Jr.. held sGother conference
with M. Sazonoff, minister of foreign
affairs today. but neither would dis
cuss the meeting. There is every in
dication that Russia will allow the
treaty to lapse and will refuse to en-
ter into a new one, This would leave
! Russia free to deal with American
j subjects as she sees At and would also
work considerable hardship upon the
4 American exporters.

Where Money BUYS Life.

The rich Chinnman II condemned to
death easily procures a substitute.
Some poor wretch. without money TO
secure his spirits from becoming wan
dering devils, with the price of his mis-
cradle life can purchase proper care
for his spirit. Anything. in fact, can
be done ii you have the money. 1t is
this belief that causes the Chinaman to
commit suicide by taking his life on the
premises Of his enemy to take venge-
ance on him. His spirit. he believes
will forever haunt him. There Is an
other reason also. He knows that as
sure as fate the officials viii under
such circumstances come down upon
his enemy and strip him of everything.
Poor Chinese have been known TO sell
everything they possessed, tear down
their houses to sell the timber sell or
rent out their wives and children and
even sell themselves to procure money
for the proper rites for the peace and
comfort of the ancestral spirits. One
thing alone Chinese will not do
namely, sacrifice his son. Kenneth f.

CATARRH GOES.
So Does Sore Throat, Bronchitis,
Group and Asthma.

You can easily tell by reading the
symptoms below whether you have
catarrh or not:
Offensive breath, frequent sneezing,
discharge from the nose, stoppage of
the nose, huskiness of the voice, tick
ling in throat, droppings in throat, a
cough, pain in chest, loss of strength,
variable appetite, spasms of coughing,
low spirited at times, raising of mucus,
difficulty in breathing, loss of vital
force
E. j. Jenkins has a sensible remedy
(money back if it fails) for catarrh,
called HYOMET pronounced High-o-
mel which is vaporized air, so anti
septic that when it is breathed over
the infamed and germ-infested mem
brane, it kills all germ life, gives re.
lief in two minutes, and cures catarrh.
The price, including hard rubber
pocket inhaler, is only s100. The in
haler will last lifetime, so that
should you need a second bottle OF
HYoMEI. you can get it for SOC.

San Antonio. Texas, Jan. 23.-Along
with Others who rush to Texas during
the winter season to enjoy the SPLEEN
did climates, comes the "bluebird," the
man who drifts north in summer and
south in winter, side-stepping work
only when necessity compels him to
labor. In the past these itinerants
have made this city their favorite
place of rendezvous. This winter, how
ever, it is not proving such a haven
of rest as in the past.

department, had all suspicious charac.
tiers and those without visible means
OF support notified to move on within
ten days. Those who stood pat on

ing the desired effect and the tran.

Huqo's Practical Side.

1t may not be generally known that
Victor Hugo used to draft the adver-
tisements of his own books. instead of
leaving the task to his publishers. His
correspondence with his BelgiaR pub
fishers gives the following example of
the great novelist's advertising style;
"After the middle ages, the present
time: Such is the subject of Victor
Hugo's double study What he did
for Gothic art In 'Notre Danced Paris
that he has done for the modern world
In Les Miserables.' The two books
figure in his scheme of work as two
mirrors rejecting the whole human
life" An encouraging example to
