 While this is an age of scientific end inventive wonders. we are miss- ing something thct Is essential to real ho ppiness and that is the cultivation os sentiment. Commercialism and the craving for excitement are aiding. too. l., deaden the finer sensibilities Of the human mind.
 Men are sometimes heard to say that sentiment is only for women and children and they leave the impres' . sion that in their minds n real man ca mot consistently be sentimental. II these same men however would anal yze themselves they would probably find that the only ennobling things IT them are their sentimental ideals.
 Patriotism and the love for home and family are but sentiments. pu' what is tho man who has none 'f these? A man without sentiment is not capable of being a true friend and he must necessarily lack so mum self-respect that he is not trustworthy
 One of the most important things Tn n chiId's training is the cultivation ol sentiment. Time mny wear hnrshiy on his sentiments as he grows "iacF and his way may be lined with brok- cn ideals. but the sentiment instilied i,: his nature in his early youth VIII do much to strengthen him for 'na rougher stretches of life.
 Probably the greatest contrast to he found between two human lives Is between the innocent child and tho depravcd moral degenerate. and vel inc difference is largely q matter o thc sentiment with which the former ,s filled. and of which the latter ha' none.
 If is this cultivation of sentiment that makes a nation distinctive f'i it's art, music and literature. It wai the fostering of ideals that made l. cient Athens a model of culture. w read how Augustus Caesar used h's influence to inspire art in Rome durins his reign, thus making hts period bright spot in the early history Of thi city. The greatest literary achieve ments of the English people were dur irg the reign of Queen Elizabeth. wn' irspired the cultivation of sentimer among her people.
 Ours is not an age of sentiment. an' therefore is not an age of art or liter ature. It is q sensual age; an age e easy divorces and broken home ties Sentiment and greed are deadly enc mics. md the greed of our times { ruling pnssion.--Aiaska Citizen.

Washington, Jan. 21.--Ariny OH
GERS here who have been closely fol-
lowing the Mexican campaigns be-
lieve they see signs in recent events
of q purpose on the part Of the Huer-
ta government to abandon the whole
northern tier of Mexican States TO
the constitutionalists. They suggested
today that the movement of the fed
eral troops at Laredo might be really
in the nature Of an evacuation and
that eventually the 2.400 fedcrals
near Laredo with the 1900 at Mon
terey and the 500 at Ciudad Porfirio
Diaz will be concentrated, perhaps at
Torreon or Tampico, to form part Of
the line OF defense which tho Huerta
forces are supposed to be placing
across the country from east to west
On the other hand the army ex-
perts think it is essential. for the con-
stitutionaliste either to abandon the
Idea Of ultimate success or to press
steadily on the South. Reports
disclose tho beginning of famine con-
ditions in the Northern States as a
result OF the prolonged rebellion.

CADETS LIFE DESCRIBED.
Midshipman Hammond Bowman of
This City Tells OF Features OF Life
at the United States Naval Acad.
emy al Annapolis.

In letter to the Daily Item Mid
shipman W. Fl. Bowman Of this tity,
n son OF Mr.. and Mrs. P. G. Bowman
interestingly describes Some features
OF the life of a cadet at the United
States Military Academy at Annapolis
| distinctive from other colleges and
military institutions.
Cadet Bowman's letter in part is as
follows:
One distinctive feature Of our life
here is the summer cruise. For the
three summer months of June, July
and August, the midshipmen embark
on cruise with certain ships, set
aside by the bureau OF navigation
Tor that purpose. At the present time
these ships are picked from the ships
recently put out Of commission, but
formerly the cruises were made on
old sailing ships such as the Con
stellation." After the advent OF
steam as means of propulsion these
ships were laid aside and, more mod
ern vessels brought into play.
South Carolina at present has if-
teen midshipmen in the Academy.
There should be eighteen and our
percentage Of vacancies is much
smaller than most States, for which
we should feel reasonably proud. OF
these fifteen men three will graduate
this Year. These three men oil have
good records. One Of them is Captain
Of the rifle team, another is editor
in chief OF the college annual mag
azine, "The Lucky Bag" and another
Is one Of the star varsity football men.
All three have Offices in the brigade
organization.
The course Of studies is principally
mathematical and mechanical. 1t in.
cludes all the professional subjects,
ordnance, navigation, etc, which will
be needed for years after becoming an
officer. Graduate midshipmen are
eligible to become ensigns or second
lieutenants either in the marine corps
coast artillery corps, or regular army
The record Of naval academy grad
yates from South Carolina is excel
lent and it is sincerely hoped by the
writer that this will be. to some ex-
tent, enhanced in future years. With
such men as Rear Admiral Victor
Blue to set us examples it is certain
that we at least have the right to ex-
pect something.
Hoping that this may be OF some use
70 you beg 10 remain sincerely yours

HARMONY Between NATIONS,
JAPANESE FOREIGN MINISTER
AMPLIFIES REMARKS,
Talks Of Land Laws and Says II is
Purpose Of Imperial Government TO
Settle Trouble as Easily as May
BE.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Baron Ma.
kino, the Japanese foreign minister
has made a supplementary statemen,
to tho Japanese parliament to show
that according to the japanese un-
derstanding there is perfect harmony
Of purpose between the United States
and Japan in negotiations to settle
the California land legislation uues-
tion.
According to o transcript Of his re-
marks made public by the Japanese
embassy here today the minister
said:
1T Is the purpose Of the imperial
government to settle the question in
as advantageous a manner as possible,
and l believe the American govern
ment Is taking measures of investiga-
tion looking to q settlement by the
most just methods"
The statement was made by Baron
Maxine in answer to a formal inter
pellation apparently framed to dissi-
pate Impressions possibly created by
previous intimations that Japan re-
sented the failure Of the United States
to reply to the late note in regard to
the California situation.
Japan is believed to desire a new
treaty specifically recognizing the
right OF Japanese in the United States
to hold and lease real property on
equal terms with other foreigners.
Such treaty would invalidate the
California law, and similar State leg
islation, but whether the senate would
ratify convention Of this character,
even II presented. forms another
angle TO the problem.
