K 'Hi that in many casos the Russians outnumbered IH the Japanese, but were beaten, and he adds: "The- Jjnj explanation of this is simple, that the Japanese mS were inferior to us materially, but thoy were HI stronger than we morally, and Japan had trained m i In I her soldiers from infancy."

Japan pays her employes, it seems to us, will close out from all the ports of the Pacific the manufactured products of the United States and Great Britain. That may lead to friction one of these days and war, but certain it is that Japan will never go to war .with the United States unless she has to, and as for China, if China was In sore trouble today her appeal would be to the United States, because she knows that our country does not want any of her land, and that it is due to our cou ntry that her territory was not divided long ago among Japan and two or three of the powers of western Europe. When we look over what Japan has done in fifty years and then try to- grasp what she and China will do in the next fifty years, one can see that a mighty power is growing up there, a mighty economic power, that will put the world to its trumps to stand off. And that is one rea son why we think our government should be get ting concessions from South American states and encourage American capital to build roads there, guaranteeing the interest if necessary that our people might possess that country, and with a peaceable conquest, finally take control. Finally, as we look at it the Hague congress is progressing in its work, and our belief is that twenty years hence it will be impossible for any civilized power to bring on any war at the danger of being met on the battlefield by the combined hosts of all other civilized powers. This itself would tend to make nations peaceful and to realize that as communications have been quickened, the human race, after all, Is but one family and it is becoming Incumbent upon them to maintain universal peace. The State Fair this year has been an unquali fied success, vastly superior to any former fair. The live stock, the horticultural exhibit, the products of dry farming all made brave showings, and in every way the fair has been a most marked success, and reflects great credit upon Utah and great honor upon the management. Those who did not visit the fair cheated themselves shamefully. "That oldest girl of mine is finally engaged. The young man called as a notification committee last night." "And how did you receive the news?" "Got the family together and cheered for eighty-three minutes by a reliable clock." Wash ington Herald. OLD GOLIATH. (By W. H. Bramel. This is noE a tale of the eighth voyage of Sin bad the Sailor. He went to sea in a- ship. We went out into the desert on foot. Sinbad saw rocs and giant serpents, but he was not able to verify his narratives by producing the skins of the serpents. We are able to show the skins of four. The persons to verify this narrative are R. L. Nolf, a mining man, Modena, Utah; Henry Lund, a lawyer, Salt Lake City; Dr. Albert Watt moor, San Francisco, Cal., and others whose names will be given by these gentlemen. Did you ever see a rattlesnake skin nine feet long? If not, it may be seen at the store of a Salt Lake furrier! The serpent from which this skin was taken was, when alive, at least ten feet long; but .notwithstanding this, he was by far the smallest of the five great serpents caught in that locality. In the Smithsonian Institute at Washington is the stuffed skin of a rattler thirteen feet long. In the British Museum, London, is one about fifteen feet long. In Dr. Wattmoor's office, in San Francisco, is the skin of Old Goliath, sev enteen feet long. Even looking at the dried skins of these serpents makes o idder. How do you think we felt as we f k upon the great coiled, hissing, living masses of loathsome poi son? Never can I forget my first view of Old Goliath. A nervous, incoherent shouting from Lund brought Nolf and myself to the summit of the ridge. Old Goliath was coiled beside a sage brush, swaying his head four or five feet above the top of the bush, hissing and rattling. Nolf and I were at least sixty feet from him. Lund cried: "Stand back, boys; he can jump his length." We took one instantaneous look and fastened to stand back. It may have been Imagination, but even to this day it seems as if I felt the breath of that serpent when he hissed. The San Pedro railroad was then completed to a point beyond Acoma, Nev. Nolf and I were talcing our things out of a box car. It was our plan to explore" a .mineral region of which Nolf had heard glowing reports, lying about forty miles northwest of Acoma. Henry Lund, looking as if time was hanging heavily on his hands, saun tered up and watched us work. He had finished his legal business and was waiting an opportunity to return to Salt Lake, but the sight of the pick, shovel, drill and Dutch oven inspired him with an ambition to do some prospecting. From that time onward our party consisted of three. With our one pack animal we progressed by U. S.
