CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES

It is no use blinking the fact that our alliance with Japan is intensey tifpepu- lar All our endeavors to show that it has no point against America seem daite unavailing. Certainly the British course will be difficult to steer. If, at Ameri- ca's dictation, we should threaten to break with our ally and after all the conference should faF, we should be left In a most invidious position towards Ja- pan and should have lost the only hold We had upon her. If, on the other hand, we do not easily yield to American sen timent in this matter and the confer ence fails. we shall be in the worst pos sibIe position towards America and pos sibly Canada, too, where there is already resentment at being denied an independ- ent Canadian delegation.
 Telephone Extensions-Telephohe ex- tensions and additions are being pro- eeeded with at top speed. In London several new exchanges have already been completed.

In all ever 800 miles of cables have to be D aced underground if the telephone system is to be safe from interruption by snowstorns and high winds.

READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips,
 Copyrighted 1891
FINGERS OF DETAIL,

If you didn't know anything about the science oI character reading and had to rely solely upon instinct and untrained observation, there would only be one way in which you could decide whether or not @ person was fond of detail, and good enough at de z jobs to be in- trusted with them. That would be by observing them at work and noticing the kind of work they turned cut, as well as their customs and habits.
 The science of character reading pre- sents another method, far quicker and moro convenient.
 You just look at a persons fingers.
 If they're short you know that they belong to a person who has no natural aptitude for detail work. If they're long, slender and tapering, as described in a previous article, you'll know he's a dreamer.
 But if they're long, but not tapering or slender, you know that you're look ing at a person who, no matter what his or her work may happen to be by force of circumstances, is capable of taking real de-ight in the handling of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Lebanon Case.

MT. Editor: Through your paper I wish the people to fully understand how others in Norwich feel about the in- human treatment Of horse up in Lepa- non.
 If any one missed the article in Thurs days paper I'd like them to look 1t up or better still take trip up to Lebanon to see for themselves how the animal must have suffered as the place shows where he was tied in the woods and left to starve to death. The poor horse must have died by inches. He was old, hav- ing given his best life to his master and never refused to do his share of work which was often too much for one horse. What is the idea of having laws and then not enforcing them.
 My business calls me to many of otir eastern cities and never do I remember such abusive treatment being taken Sd lightly.
 There is nothing too bad for that man and he should be made to feel how the poor animal suffered Justice Is what wa want
 What citizen in our Rose of Ne% England does not feel that %ay?.
