This resulted m a mes sage being sent to Washington from the American delegation asking whether the United States intended to sign tlfe compact.

Patience and gentleness are no' easy virtues when one Is troubled within and buffeted without by the days trials and demands. There are many times when the taking of q city might mean less to the individual soi- dier concerned than the conquest of his own spirit and tongue. There are tense days when a carping or unjust word falls on the spirit like a lighted match on finder; wherefore we should be the more careful to store no tindef for ourselves, and toss no lighted matches at our fellows.

Genius is known by it's works; genius without works is a blind faith, a dumb oracle. But neritorious works are the result of time and labor. and cannot be ac- eompIished by intention or by wish.

been followed in Japan by the launching
OF a project to stop the manufacture of

Inc end of the war has brought no
check to the steady increase in the
prlce of the necessities Of life and the
soaring cost Of rice, which Ia the staple
ZOO OF the Japanese people, Is becom-
lug a grave problem for the government.
Last year the high price OF rice led to
serious riots throughout the empire.
lhe Japan Temperance society has
presented n memorial TO the government
urging the prohibition of making of
sake. The organization points out that
about $4,000, 600 bushels Of rice are con
snlned yearly In It's manufacture. with
tne population Of japan increasing at
me rate OF 500. 600 yearly and the ma

ton asserts that the enormous auan-
ttty of rice used In distiiling sake might
be turned to a better use in distribut-

GALVESTON. Tex, July I6-How a
bottle-nose dolphin, a porpoise COM
foot shark Is described by fishermen
who say they witnessed the killing
from the causeway which connects

The sea-hog, according to the books, Is
a most sociable and gregarious fish, -
but these fishermen declared there was
nothing sociable about this dolphin.
When the shark was within a few feet
of the ]porpoise the fisherman saw the
sea hog charge. a gray streak in the
water. It struck the shark squarely
amidships. they declare, ripped it open
and then tore the body into pieces.
The theory Of the fishermen is that
the porpotse fought to protect its single
