ROOSEVELT As A pEAcEmAkEa.

=
During the ~ months OF the Russo.
japanese war from February, 1904, TO
September, 1905, Russia sent from
100000 to 100000 soldiers to tine East
and Japan not less than 100000.
Never before In the history Of the
world had such large armies been
sent to the seat OF war In 50 short
period The RUSSIAN losses amount
ed to more than 3s0,000 and japan
lost 72.49O. Russia lost the major
part OF her Pacific and Baltic fleets.
The magnitude OF the losses in
this conflict shocked the world. When
Japan won the great decisive battle
OF the Sea Of Japan, Theodore Roose.
welt, then president OF the United
States, who had failed in January to
induce Russia TO agree to treat for
peace with Japan, renewed his ef-
fort to bring the belligerent powers
together for a discussion OF peace
terms solely between themselves. In
this endeayor he was supported by
the French government and the Ger
man emperor. After preliminary con-
situations with the Russian and Jap.
aness representatives at Washington,
Roosevelt addressed a note OF Japan
and Russia, in which he said:
"The president feels that the time
has come when the interest Of all
mankind he must endeayor to see il
il is not possible to bring to an end
the terrible and lamentable conflict
now being waged. With both Russia
and Japan the United States has in
herited ties of friendship and good
will. II hopes for the prosperity and
welfare of each and II feels that the
porgress of the world is set back by
the war between these great nations.
The president then urged the two
nations to confer mot only for their
own sakes, but In the interest Of the
whole civilized world. He offered
himself as an intermediary, II his ser
vices in that capacity should be de-
sired.
The final result was the historic
conference at Portsmouth, N. H., out
of which came peace at last, although
for long period II seemed as If no
agreement could be reached Roose-
welt used all his power and influence
In bringing about the desired end and
to his personal effort was In no small
measure due the success of the con,
ference Both sides yielded some of
their contentious SO that there might,
be a meeting OF minds.
This was notable peace achieve.
ment for which Roosevelt was re.
ceived much credit In II he display
cd undomitable initiative. On other
occasions he used strong hand in
peace between this coun
try and other nations. These facts
are always remembered when the
charge is made that, had he been
president, Roosevelt would long ago
have involved this country In the
world conflict now raging in Europe.

81, 500 FOR FORGOTTEN BIT
Savings Bank Account AccumuIates
Unclaimed In Brooklyn Bank
for Sixty Years.

New York.-A savings bank account
Of $1,000, which had been accumulat-
ing unclaimed in Brooklyn bank for
60 years, has just found its owner in
Yonkers, City Treasurer Albert Van
Houten said today. It goes to Mrs.
F. A. Gastineau Of Hancock avenue,
Lincoln Park, that city.
Mr.. Gastineau, who died two years
ago, deposited a small sum Of money
in the Brooklyn Savings bank in 1857.
He must have forgotten it, for he new
err mentioned 1t to his wife.
For 40 years interest on the deposit
compounded, and it brought the total
up to $500. Delivery Of the money
was brought about through q new law
compelling banks to search for owners
of unclaimed deposits.

Their Holes.

Hood River, Ore.-Luhr Jensen will
increase his paintings Of potatoes by
three pecks.
Recently Mr.. Jensen scattered pol
soned wheat around the burrows and
runways Of a colony Of troublesome
digger squirrels near his barn. The pol
son was apparently fatal, for all Of the
squirrels disappeared. Recently Mr..
Jensen out of curiosity decided to in
vestigate the underground tunnels of
the rodents.
As his excavations progressed he I'M
earthed seven dead diggers and three
pecks of fine seed potatoes that the
squirrels had stolen from the ranch
er's granary and had boarded in the
storage retreats Of their underground
home.

which are grown commonly in tho
northern commercial apple-producing
districts. .-
The most important commercial
sour-cherry orchards are located in the
Hudson River valley, in western New
York, western Michigan, northern
Ohio, the Arkansas river valley, in Col
orado, Door county, Wisconsin, parts
Of Iowa, and to a lesser extent in 9TH
er states. Large quantities of cher
ries in the aggregate are produced in
states and sections not specifically
mentioned, but as rule the orchards
are small and do not represent impor-
tant community interests.
The leading varieties Of sweet cher
ries are less hardy than the best
known sour sorts. Their endurance
Of cold corresponds more nearly to
that Of the peach. 1t may be doubted
whether sweet cherries as a group
endure long, hot summers any better
than the sour sorts, possibly not as
well.

BOOTS SAVED HIM
Barn In Which KipIinger Was
Standing Was Struck by
Lightning.

Charlotte, Mich.-The fine new
large barn on the G. B. Lamb farm
west of this town In Carmel township,
which is occupied by Grant Kiplinger,
was struck by lightning and the sid
ing was torn off from top to bottom
on both gables, the barn being about
so feet in height.
Mr.. Kiplinger was standing in the
barn at the time, and the stable doors,
within two feet Of him, were slivered
and he was stunned, but not hurt by
the shock. The fact that he was wear
ing rubber boots probably saved him
from instant death.
The barn fortunately did not catch
fire. It is 40 by 80 feet In size, cost
$1,000, and is being built to replace
the large barn destroyed by fire last
autumn.

Great EnoIjsh Estates,

A few illustrations of the size OF
some English estates are as follows
The Duke of Northumberland owned a
few years since 191, 4S1 acres; the
Duke of Devonshire, 1898; the Duke
Of Bedford, s7,515. Those who know
nothing of the facts exclaim, "Why
don't the English people break up these
big estates and give the people a
chance to get land?" If this were done
and tinkers, tailors and candlestick
makers got to farming and treating
their lands just as they liked down
would 60 it's fertility, and away for
ever would go the well-ordered, fertile
estates that now make England fam
Gus. The English landlords as rule
take real interest and pride in their
tenants and spend money freely In
providing pedigreed horses, horned
cattle and sheep for the improvement
Of their flocks, studs and herds.-Phil-
adelphia Ledger.

MARKET FlRST-CLASS FRUIT
Charges Are Just as Much on Box OF

Marketing fruit depends upon sue

packing. No man lives nowadays who
can successfully market halfrcolored,
poorly packed, wormy box Of apples.
A great many times growers are dis
appointed in sales for any one Of these
reasons. The freight, packing and re-

LOW ATTITUDES FOR CHERRY
Trees Do Not Thrive Well Where Sum-
mers Are Particularly Long and
Dry-Where Grown.
(By H. p. GopLD.)

Cherry trees do not thrive well as
a rule where the summers are par
ticularly long and hot. For this rea-
son more than any other they are
grown but little in the South. and
to the limited extent they are planted
in that part of the country the best
success is attained at the higher alti-
tudes.

She Got Her Breakfast Over the Gas
In Her Room.

IICT nOOI1s
at the parting, she cut loose entirely
from the family, not even letting them
know where she had gone. Her room,
though small, was neat and comfort
able, and in q good part of the city.
She got her breakfast over the gas In
her room, and her other meals at q
cheap restaurant.
At home, when she came from the
office, she was expected to wash dishes
and help with the housework. Now
after Office hours she was free to
sew, keep her clothes in order, read,
rest, or 60 where she pleased. If there
were hours when she missed the COM
partnership Of mother and the children,
they were more than balanced by the
Joy of her new freedom. She had more
opportunities for going out with her
friends, and making new acquaint-
.ances. On one of these occasions she
met a man who told her he was about
to open an Office, and he offered her a
position as typist with much better
salary than she was getting.
Frank Austin, the man in question,
was good talker, well hammered, well
dressed, about thirty-five years Of age,
and to all appearances gentleman.
,Gussie accepted his offer, and found
.lher new quarters pleasant and attrac-
tive. On the glass door In gilt letters
were the words: "Pyro Mining and In
ivestment Company, Frank B. Austin,
President"
Gussie was kept busy addressing
hundreds of letters and circulars all
over the country. Besides this she
wrote a great many letters at Austin's
dictation. She was working harder
than she had been, but she reasoned
she was getting better pay. 1t seemed
very wonderful to her to be writing
about millions, and enormous returns
for money invested, and one day she
ventured to say she wished she might
own few Of those shares, whereup0n

Gusie Felstrom worked all day in
the box factory. It was monotonous,
wearisome work, and very small pay.
She saw on the avenue, when she
went home, other girls, no prettier than
she wearing becoming, beautiful
clothes. When she went in to buy
pair of cheap cotton gloves she saw
women buying long kid ones, and a
kind of rebellion surged up in her heart
at the existing state Of things. But
there was the WORKOUT, overworked
mother, and four children, all younger
than herself. The fathers small, inter-
mittent earnings barely kept roof
over their heads.
Had Gussie not been a girl who
thought, she might have drifted along,
perhaps In the footsteps Of her moth
er, or worse, have become girl Of
the streets on the downward road to
despair and death. She determined to
At herself for something better, so
she went to night school, and then
learned typewriting.
She began working in an Office at IS
q week. This was not much better
than the box factory wages, and she
required better clothes, in order to
make decent appearance, so from
monetary point of view her condition
was not much improved. But she felt
she had taken step upward, and the
family regarded her advancement in
life with considerable pride. AS the
girl grew older and wanted more, and
her wages did not CORRESPONDENCE in
crease. After she had been a typist
for two years she was earning only
So week.
b She was now nineteen, and her asso-
citation with other girls in Offices had
shown her homes cleaner, brighter, and
altogether more livable than her own.
She determined to have something bet
ter for herself. Two of the young
er children were now working, and she
resolved to seek room away from the
home roof.
Both father and mother endeavored
to show her how ungrateful, unfeeling,
and utterly inhuman such a course
would be to them; but in spite Of up
braidings and entreaties Gussie found
a room, and installed. herself therein.
