Monkeys FOndness for Sweets

The Manchester Guardian tells
of a chimpanzee that died recently
after spending eight years of his
life defying all the rules laid down
for the wellbeing of chimpanzees.
His name was Antony, and he
was the only one of his tribe of
monkeys who has ever managed to
stand an English climate unmiti-
gated by artificial heat. He was
very young and small. At that
time he weighed IA pounds; by
last summer he was just six times
as heavy. He was owned by DR..
Butter, of Cannock. During the
whole period of his civilized life
he was kept in a brick building
facing southwest and unheated,
and he slept in straw without
blankets. He had an exercising
pen containing swings and perches,
which he made earnest and often
successful efforts not to break.
Chocolates and sweets-poison to
ordinary chimpanzees- the
special treats in Antony's dietary,
and he had less comprehensive
fancy for locust beans.-MontreaI

FAMOUS PEACE TREATIES

The Japanese navy utterly de-
stroyed Russia's sea power in the
Pacific and the Japanese army,
after series of victories, laid
siege to Port Arthur. Another
Japanese army drove the Russians
northward in Manchuria and ad-
ministered a crushing defeat at
Mukden.
The Russian transportation and
supply corps utterly broke down
and became useless; grand dukes
at the Manchurian headquarters
reveled in prodigal wantonness
and luxury while the soldiers
needed food and clothing, and
there was an orgy of official graft.

fense but surrendered on January

by Japan. Russia transferred her
lease of Port Arthur to Japan, as
we'll as the railroad connecting
Port Arthur with the Manchurian
railroad. The Manchurian rail-
roads we're to be used for CONNER
cial purposes only. Russia ceded
to Japan the island of Saghalin,
great island stretching north and
south along the Siberian coast. and
gave Japan fishing rights on all
the Pacific waters of Russia.
The Russian humiliation was
complete. Japan had arrived"

Known as Witchcraft Town

Salem is nationally known as the
witchcraft town of history. title
which it has been trying to live
down for 200 years. Fortunately
for Salem, the terror of witchcraft
inquisition is fading from memory.
Invariably the visitor comes to
Salem with the idea of witches
firmly fixed in his mind, but the
only evidence of their existence
that he can find is a tiepin bearing
a tiny witch astrice a broomstick.
Besides buying witch adorned SOU
venirs, which Salem provides to
meet the demands of visitors, there
are other ways Of satisfying witch
hunting ambitions.
To a person already keyed to a
high pitch by vague recollections
of witch days Salem on a frosty
moonlight night seems to slip back
a century or so into the solemn
superstitious little Puritan town,
where one must think several
times before making the most
casual remark lest it be construed
as evidence of friendly dealings
with the devil.

building graveled roads. And we
have beyond compare the best
roads in Minnesota. And besides
that our state is adopting an
amendment to its constitution in
the fall of 1920 that will give US
5000 miles of hard paved roads in
the state at a cost of some $780,
600, 900, built by state and federal
money. Two hundred and fifty
six miles of this paved state road
system lie in our county of St.
Louis. But as we did not care to
wait for the adoption of the con-
stitutional amendment and being
so absolutely sure of it's adoption
in 1920, we went ahead on July l
and voted county bonds to the
amount of 81, 100000 to build our
part of the paved highway system
now. We voted these bonds with
a nine to-one vote. The state will
pay back every cent when the
amendment passes in 1920. And
the best of it is that the farmer
will not pay a cent of additional
taxes for this vast paved road sys-
tenn. 1t will all come out of in
creased auto and truck license
fees. And the auto and truck
owners are the most enthusiastic
boosters of our paved road plan in
the state.

HESSB&H waged against China IN
NS6aNH 1894 demonstrated to the
l&-AlI world that new power
had appeared in the Pacific, still it
was argued by the western nations
that she had only fought with
Asiatlcs. They spoke rather
patronizingly of her military ex-
ploits after the treaty of Shi-
monoseki; after the treaty of
Portsmouth they spoke with an
admiration no less sincere because
grudgingly bestowed. After Shin
onoseki Japan was a promising
younger brother; after Portsmouth
she was nation to be treated with
as an equal and one to make al
liances with.
No sooner had France, Germany
and Russia forced Japan after the
treaty of Shimonoseki to retrocede
to China the best fruits of the
war, the peninsula of Liao-tung,
than China turned around and
leased Port Arthur and Liao-t tung
to Russia by a lease which was
only a cover for a direct cession.
This little deal between Russia and
China rather chagrined the other
two powers which had joined with
Russia in forcing Japan to retro
cede Liao-tung. Germany at once
demanded as an equivalent that
China leave to her the city and
bay of Kiao-chau on the same
terms as those by which Russia
held Port Arthur-and China did
so. France, being an ally of Rus
sia in the triple entente. valuing
that alliance very highly, swal-
lowed her chagrin at her false
diplomatic move in joining in the
coercion Of Japan, while Great
Britain demanded as an offset to
the Russian occupation of Port
Arthur a lease of the Chinese
naval station of Wei-hai-wei on
the north shore of the Shan-tung
peninsula, Pc. chilli.
To dispose of the subsequent
fate of these British and German
acquisitions here it may be said
that England did nothing with
Wei-hai-wei and finally gave it
back to China, while Germany, on
the pretext of a murdered mis-
sionary, formally annexed Kiao-
chau and the surrounding terri
tory and heavily fortified the
place. 1t was captured by the
japanese in the recent war and is
now held by them.

promised to do so, but never full
filled her promises. Japan saw a
great European power confronting
her in a threatening attitude; per-
haps threatening her very exis-
tence as an independent nation.
On February of 1904 she severed
diplomatic relations with Russia
and two days later Admiral Togo
made torpedo attack upon the
Russian feet lying at Port Arthur,
followed by feet attack the fol-
lowing day. By these two attacks
