the japanese are ingenious, If a
title diabolical. A Russian officer
Banned Lubitski, in a little book
lately published on his experience in
The Russo-Japanese war, illustrates
both phases Of their character. Dur
ing one of the japanese attacks on
Port Arthur the assailants made use
Of wooden hand-rattles such as night
watchmen in Japan still use, and
which some Of us remember as "po-
licemen's rattles." These things
produce a magnifed cracking noise
exactly like the sound Of machine
guns. This idea was not so much
to deceive the Russians as to the
number of machine guns in action,
but to shatter the nerves Of the de-
tenders and thus bring about the
psychological collapse which plays
such an important part on the mod
ern battlefield. And M. Lubitski,
who was then in close touch with the
Livonian infantry, frankly acknowl-
edges that this continuance had a
marked effect on his men and con-
tributed substantially to the ulti-
mate victory of the japanese.

PREoccUPATIoN.

"Do you think the automobile has
demoralizing inhuence?"
'1'm afraid it has," replied Mr..
Chuggins. "When a man has to
remember how fast he can go in diff
ferent parts of town, and the rules
about displaying numbers and
sounding the horn at crossings, and
letting smoke escape from the ex-
haust, and keeping his lamps in or
der, and cutting out the muller, and
various other things he's liable to be
so preoccupied that the ten COM
mandments don't get their reason
able share Of attention"

MAKING USE OF HER LATIN.

There is in a certain Florida city
a woman Librarian with fondness
for Latin phrases that sometimes
require more than a knowledge of
Latin to fathom. Recently visitor
to the library inquired pleasantly
how she had spent her vacation, to
which the librarian replied idly:
ooh, I just took little jaunt up to
New York via train and came home
vice versa"
''You returned-how?" gasped
the visitor.
'FVice versa" repeated the libra
brarian blandly. "By steamer, you
now."-Saturday Evening Post.

FIT GIRLS TO EARN LIVING
Parents Never Can Know That Daush-
ters May Not Have to Make
Their Own Way.

Every girl in the world should be
fitted to earn living, even though
she does not have to look out for
herself. Life is uncertain, but mon
ey has way of DESERVING one with
out warning. Only in the few cases
is its loss due to circumstances
which might have been avoided. One
expects to pay the price of careless
ness or recklessness, but nobody is
ever fully prepared for unforeseen
disaster.
Many a woman has blessed the
memory of parents who had been
sufficiently thoughtful to prepare
them for emergencies. Children
show signs of special ability at an
early age and in boys it is cultivated
with an eye to the future-the inev-
liable time of bread-winning. Girls
are less fortunate, for many of them
have to go out into the world with
out special advancement and with
little thought of future advance
ment, so the occasional woman with
an abundance of persistence climbs
to safe position and the great mass
of struggling women snatch what
they can from chance.-Milwaukee

AUSTRALIAN ENGLISH.

The Australians are evolving a
new English language of their own.
With three of their wonds-"bar-
racking," "larrikin" and kangaroo"
we are all familiar, but there are
hundreds of others to be found in
the dictionary of "Australian-Eng-
lish" compiled by Professor Morris.
The Sydney Bulletin is offering a
prize for the "best sonnet written in
the Australian language" That is
to say, a sonnet that would not be
understood outside Of Australia

( county division meeting in the his

Ben White and Calude Kill Spotted.
The delegation will make the last
tight the Sioux probably ever will
make against the white man to pre-
serve intact the last of their once
enormous domain. Heretofore the
lands ceded by the Sioux have been
in large tracts, millions of acres at a
time. They have been surplus
lands, with few Indian allotments
upon them. This time it is only a
| few hundred thousand acres of
| rough land; but these lands are scat
tered among the home alIotments of
$500 Indians. and the Indians prize
them for range for their stock, and
will never willingly give them up.
| Congress has the power to open the
lands whether the Indians are will
| ing or not, but has ALWAYS deferred
more or less to their wishes. Here
tofore consent has been obtained.
This time the Indians unanimously
oppose the Opening. Tremendous
pressure is being brought to bear
upon congress by commercial bodies
interested, and the Indians have a
hard fight on their hands.
