This report, however, shows a repetition of tho now familiar tactlcH of Japan, and It Is presumed that this attack was mado In bad weather, previous tele graphic advices having reported a Eovero galo raging nt Port Arthur.

Tho question Is whathor the war shall bo permitted to have the strong fleet, now virtually bottled up In tho Black Soa, pass through the strongly fortified, narrow straits, so that It can go to tho aid of Russia's bo-1eagured vessels In tho far East. Tho Dardanelles ItBelf Is a little over forty-throe miles long and la from LHroo to four miles wldo, but at the Japa Will Force the Issue. Official opinion continues to bo that tho Japanoso will make no attempt to Invost Port Arthur Immotllatoly. al though It Is addod that thoy evidently aro Jotormlncd to forco mattora as rapidly as possible. In 1894 they land ed on tho northorn part of tho penin sula and tho Chlneso mado no resist ance still It took twenty-eight days boforo Port Arthur was roally Invest ed, Tho object of the Japanoso now may bo to avoid this preliminary dolay by dlaombarklng their troops at Pig Oou bay. narrowest part Is not moro than 1.000 yards across.

Overcome evil with good in trying to help those in any trouble. A minute ago I read about a wnman who wont two thousand miles in or dor to get away from her many sym pathizing friends. How is It that the sympathizing friend manages to Ircrease our sor rows! By having n big heart and a llttlo head or by having an artificially big heart? My troubles have been more pain till on account of sympathizing friends becauso In placo of lining me up they sat on me. Something might bo said about tho false friend who enjoys sympathizing, to see suffering, but wo will limit this artlclo to tho real friend who falls down In trying to comfort you In your misery. A good many examples nnd illustra tions might bo given, but unless I get down to something useful I will dis obey my headline. You nnd I may not have been very skillful In tho past whllo delivering bad nows or talking to a friend tho first time after tho friend's misfor tuno. How can wo be moro skillful from now on? Tho first tlmo I ever wrote n Chris tian paragraph in a private letter was ono In a letter to a beautiful girl cousin whom I bad visited. Soon after I heard from that family that my cousin was dead, but that my letter had been a great comfort to her. You cannot make mo bcllovo that 1 wroto that paragraph to my cousin from any every day promptings. It was, In my mind, a product ot somo momentary goodness or a superior power. In trying to comfort othors we should stop and think and appeal to tho greatest and best thought wo know, In order to sympathlzo In a way to comfort. Much or tho discomforting sympa thizing may bo duo to laziness In say ing anything wo happen to think or In using worn-out sentences that mean nothing. It thcro Is anything wo need, origi nal preparation for It Is for times when wo talk to friends with break ing hearts and bleeding memories. Profitable Precautions. A few minutes a day of slmplo bod ily exercises will cnablo us to per form unexpected tasks which other wise might bo dangerous if not fatal. Any person at any tlmo Is likely to havo to Jump, lift, run, pull, push or carry a load or movo lively to oscapo a fall or somo danger. You can remember events In your own oxporlenco or your observations which will illustrato tho wisdom of always being ready to do something extra difficult. Thla wisdom for tho physical Is truo with tho mental. A person who mado a happy hit at nn entertainment when placed In a difficult part of the program was asked later how long ho was preparing tho Idea ho sprung on tho audlonce, and ho replied about two years. Ho did not know wbon ho would U8o It, but kopt It growing as mentnl stock over ready. To-day ho would not use It or nny Idea liko It, becauso It was fun rather than humor it laughed at a porson In place of with a person and It Is bet tor to loso a hit than to run a risk ot making a hurt. But when a porson Is willing to loso a hit an that account It will not bo long boforo a bettor hit will bo created, as tho heart holps Vtt hoad do its best. Water-Tight Rubbers. Ho enterod a basoment restaurant and sat down under tho sidowalk glass roof, with his rubbers, umbrella and overcoat near by, Tho sidewalk leaked and tho water itmck ono ot tho rubbers that didn't leak and tho luncher enjoyed his pie so much ho was oblivious to tho foot wear reservoir. After he had walked a square ho noticed a damp big right too and won dered why tho rubbor had broken so suddenly. On reaching his desk bo lnspacted and found that his foot was wet becauso his rubber was whole. It Is natural for us to think of the most common solution to a condition and In tho long run wo may Bavo tlmo to think that way, but thoBe who aro always ready to bcllovo In uncommon solutions have their day ot victory as woll an defeat, All progress is mads by those who think twice and wonder and stop to examine. We can resist de , pressing sights and in formation by means or will power secured by mental exercises. A story an hour long has been told no this morning by a business mana ger, and when I left him I felt llko taking n month's vncatlon to mourn over tho conditions in some depart ments of the business world. After I had walked a hundred feet my resolution wns mado to throw off by will power tho mental depression, and go to work on my dny'R work, with n determination to promote In telligent rommerco as a remedy for telflflb rhlcanery. A secretary of a big organisation told me nbout tho material in nruf '-.. organizations fo; a scandalous Btory That was several years ago when the dusty corners of a prominent man's; work wero being elenned with tho publlc as an nudlenco. At about that Mme another seccrtary told me that he wos going to begin collecting and studying desirable efforts, products and plans. My thought was that more good could be grown by holding up tho desirable than by exposing the ovll. My belief Is that tho world Is grow ing better not nil the tlmo In overy place, but us an average tho whole world over. Somo think with me nnd some think tho opposite. Ono man told me that tho most comforting Idea In his mind, is thnt tho world Is better every day It may be that prayer when sin cere nnd aggrcsslvo is a source of will iKiwer which Improves tho world In general as well as tho Individual who offers the prayer. Were you ever depressed by n story you read or which some one told you? Do you think thnt wo should let tho conditions of tho report to enter nnd remain In our mind? Can wo drive out tho thoughts from our head, tho snmo as we would a vermln londed bat flying In our houses? Wo nro less nblo to help those who need help If wo aro depressed because depression weakens. Wo nro not nblo to do good work. -anywhero If our minds nro poisoned with tho fumes of tho acids of evil. We can nnd wo should train our selves to resist thoso forces which, injure our Individuality and cut dowa our ability to comfort, encourago nnd wisely direct. Pocket Pieces. Do you carry things in your pockets or Jowelry on ou that jiavo, stories , i about them? To-morrow I oxpect to- bo Intervlowod by a newspaper mon whom I havo nover seen nnd my plan is to talk about something I had In my pockets to-day beforo I know that Mr. Unknown was to ask mo ques tions. You may be given tho story ' which ho writes my remarks Into. But It may bo a woman with a pen cil. , Slnco last August my lectures to audiences or ono far nowspapcr ar ticles havo pleased me. My plan Is to keep them going, cut thorn up nnd pass them along to you. In one case a reporter had a club or a Biibject or his own with which ho wanted to hit a certain class ot peo ple, but ho wanted mo to hold tho club and he got me to say something, on thnt subject. I can imagine that Komo ot my acquaintances havo looked a llttlo differently at mo slnco that Intcrvlow camo out. That reporter Is a valuable help to mo in my advertis ing ot accuracy, but ho mado mo moro cautious. Do you blamo mo for tho Intcrvlow department of my forethought pro motion? I Bit down nn hour, jnoro or less, and havo a .pleasant visit with a brlght-mlndcd person on my favorite subject the dnlly sourcos of better mothods. Thnt person dovotcs hours to carefully and skillfully writing out and framing my suggestions, then places them b 'o tho eyes ot thou sands. FIvo years ago I tried to do something llko this nnd failed. To-day It is a natural product. Bright Boys Scarce. A man got a boy to help him carry ' bundles to a railroad station. The station was used by four railroads. There wero two stairways, each load ing to two trains for two roads. The man knew better, but by easy error bo started up tho wrong stalrsa-foilO-- . cause bo was thinking about earner, .lVl othor subject und ho nearly always- I usod that stairway when taking trains at that Btatlon. Tho boy instnntb corrected him and he told tho boy th ho needed a man ager as well as so. to ono to help him carry bundles. An cmploymi it bu reau says that tho right kind of bo, are dlfllcult to find Thoro nro a plor' of neglo'.cd hoys which might ha necn taugL. to enjoy doing things ai.. do thera right also. Some tlmo ago people w ,h fore thought bow that thoy must begin, . v, to grow ability and earnestness the ' same as they grew wheat and corn, so thoy Btartod places for doing this kind of work. Many chlldro are so situated they havo neither opportunity nor Incen tive for any kind of useful work with out which tho end Is poor Judgment and Indolence. In somo homes there is so much "civilization" the children are tho last to be thoupl : ot and for.
