Russia has spent something over
1350,000,000 on the war to date, and
the amount is designated as "running
expenses." Rather costly getting away,
it seems.
Twenty-five thousand emigrants are
expected at Ellis island this week, a
majority of them Italians. It is likely
that they are inspired by a curiosity to

election.
The czar gets up at 7 o'clock and
breakfasts on tea and toast. After
working two hours he walks for an
hour in his park. In the afternoon he
takes another walk and then works
hard till 11 o'clock at night, except for
tne time devoted to his dinner. With
his wife and cnildren he usually con
verses in French or English, to pre

About IS months ago Rev. H. W.
Knickerbocker of Trinity Methodist
Episcopal church, Iajs Angeles, was
deposed for heresy. He went to a
mini ns? camp, where he got. work as an
ordinary miner. After a time lie pur
chased some claims for a few dollars,
later selling them for $I.Ho. Now lie
is worth JlniMHio, owns '.',( claims out
right, has an interest in as mauy more,
besides doing a largo brokerage busi
ness. Swift MacXeill is gaining unsought
renown because of the breaks he
makes in the house of commons. Not
long ago he threw the house into con
vulsions by saying: "J will now re
peat wh-it I have been prevented from
saying hitherto." This was shortly af
ter he remarked in criticising the
the speech of a cabinet minister: "It
is necessary that some notice be taken
of the reply which the honorable gen
tleman did not make."
The ;rest American Game.
It has been related that Diogenes
and a party of friends were reclining
on the hay in the barn, indulging in a
secret and seductive game of seven
un." and that Diogenes, after putting
the ace where, it would do him the
most good, remarked there were two
things that Time could not destroy;
the interest in "high, low. jack and
the came." and baseball.
Thereupon it was announced in the
afternoon that Diogenes was a philo
sopher, as well as a youth with a keen
regard for truth and accuracy.
It is common knowledgethat "bridge"
is for those who have money to lose;
that euchre appeals to women, and that
pedro and hearts are cut-throat amuse
merits built for certain classes. But
somehow, baseball appeals to all. It
i; to the creat majority the
American game. It is amuse
ment Jthat calls for shouts and
volt unit hand-clanoins. It drives
away the blue devils. It makes you
forget that business is bad and profit
scant. It heals domestic troubles. It
induces toys to cut out cigarets and
bad habits and strive for brawn.
And it arouses public sentiment. We
may be a little shy in rendering proper
credit to men who have achieved tame
in letters, in art. in music, but we bow
low to men whose one talent is the
ability to play ball hard and well, and

The Census In in Philippine.
The census bureau has made pub
lic the results of its census of the Phil
ippine islands, the principal object of
which was to form a basis for the es
tablishment of Philippine legislature.
The population of the archipelago
compos d of 34 2 islands, is T.35.42..
Foreign number about 5'.o, of
whom three-fourths are Chinese. Of
3his number 7.0oM"0 are more or less
civilized. The wild tribes form about
y oer cent of the population. The civ
ilized tribes are practically all adher-J
ents of the Catholic church. The
Moros and Mohammedans and the oth
er wild people have no recognized re
ligious belief. More than half the pop
ulation cannot either read or write in
any language.
A majority are engaged in farming
small tracts of land alternating this
with fishing; while the women weave
hats and cloths. Eleven per cent of
the pupils of the schools understand
English. In 1902 there were 42 news
papers 18 in English and 24 in Spanish.

DAILY SHORT
THE HOLLAND'S
Origlnal-1
Harry Holland was an all round
good fellow. He loved bis wife and
their two little children devotedly, but
did not hesitate to risk his and their
happiness by what he considered harm
less affairs with women. Clara, bis
wife, wn one of nature's peeresses,
and every uiie who knew the couple
wondered bow Holland coiiUl le eveu
amused with other women. Never! be
less he would get up an affair with
soiue creature who had neither brsius
nor principle and whose Ideality was
often entirely "made up. Clara pre
tended not to uotice these freaks, fully
appreciating what it was to start evn
the slightest breach between her bus
l.nu.l mul lifi-xelf Va Hot bis. her
ami their children's happiness all at
stake? She argued that every iftau
has bis weakness, and this was the
onlv weakness of which her husband
was irniltv. "Mv wife is a seusilde
woman." Harry would say to his luti
mate friends. "She knows it's a uian'i
nature to rove, and it's a womihii's na
ture to be true to oue man. She's the
augel of tbe household."
So luii it as Harry flitted froiu one
flower to niioiber some of them wax
and paint - there was 110 great barm
done. But at last a woman got hold of
him who kepi him dancing attendance
upon her -so long a-nd so constantly
that the affair became the town talk
Then rumor legaii to undermine Mrs
Hollaud's good mime. "You see how
it Is," said thinking persons; "one sin
leads to another. Clara Holland has
len at lat affected by her husband's
waist of principle. They won't hang
together lone. What a pity for the
children:" .
Harry didn't exactly like tbe situa
tiou and cautioned bis wife. She did
not say. "Cease your attentions to other
women and I'll cease accepting favors
from other men." She simply said
"Oh, Harry, we don't either of us meau
anything by it:" This was not satis
factory to Harry. For the flint time lie
begun to tliink bis wife was uot the
anicel of the botisebold after all. He
nitnn to think of the terrible result
that might accrue from his wife's con
duct. What if his family should be
broken up. bis children separated from
him? II would le the woman's fault
but that would not mend matters. One
would suppose be would begin to set
matters ritdit bv devoting himself to
his home and letting other women
alone. But the charmer who a I the
time held oossessiou of him was not
inclined to give him up.
One morning as be was going in to
breakfast the postman called, and Hoi
land took the mail from him. Glancing
over the letters, he saw one addressed
to him In n woman's hand that he did
not recognize. He thrust it In bis
pocket and after breakfast, while read
Ing his paper in the library, opened it
It read :
Ke-p an eye on your wife. She In pre
paring to skip out with C. B.
Holland sat so long in the library that
his wife at last came in and asked him
why he delayed goiug downtown, ns
usual. When he looked tip nt her It
wa with an agonized expression.
"What's tbe matter, Harry?" she
asked.
He handed her the note. She rend it
coolly and handed it back to him.
"Well?" he said.
"Well," she repeated, "of course the
game's up."
' What do you mean?"
"I mean that this farce may as well
end now as at any time. We are both
more interested In others than in our
home and our children. Yet why should
I do as that note indicates and make
Ibe scandal nil Ihe worse? You. being
:t man. can commit some tlngrtuit act
that will gie me my legal freedom,
and I can marry aguiu, whereas if
ruu away with another man while I
auL your wire our cmioreu will he lis-
graced."
Holland looked at his wife stunned.
She went on :
"Dou't blame me for this. I was
happy with you and our dear little
ones, who must now suffer, but you ed
ucated me with your theory that great
license should be given the In is hand
and father, and from this I grew to as
sume equal liberty for tbe wife and
mother. You might have kept a stesdy
course for the children's sake if not for
mine."
Her voice trembled and tears started
to her eyes.
"Tell me." be gasped. "Clara, have
you done anything criminal?"
She stood wilh her back turned to
lit 111 without a reply. He fell back in
Ids chair. Site turned and saw an ashen
pallor, eyes glaring at vacancy, every
evidence of a mental torture which if It
could le transformed to the body
would have delighted hu Apache In
dfan. She turned ler eyes anpealingly
toward s portiere screening The adjoin
ing room. Afcce Holland. Harry's sis
ter, brushed aside the curtains and
stepped Into the room.
"Harry." she said to her surprised
brother. -1 wrote that letter for Clara
and made her promise me she would
not undeceive you afler this interview
till 1 should aire her the word. She is
as pure snd innocent as a lit lie child.
I ad fined Ler some iliue ago to begin
the preliminaries that have led up "to
this lesson. If it is not enough to make
you tneud your way the next one wiil
b vry differeut and Irrevocable."
Ths man's fscs Indicated the change
occurring within him as he listened m
the words. When thev were flnihi
he took his wife !n his arms Then at
Alice Holland's b-ck their children

Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation,
Women suffering1 from any form of
female weakncssare invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. 1'inkham, at
Lynn. Mass. All letters are received,
opened. red and answered by women
only. A woman can freel talk of her
private illne&s to a woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. 1'inkhain and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has todraw from,
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that, will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your goMl-vill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or jKMir, is very foolish
if she docs not. take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.
If you are ill. don't hesitate to get a
ottl"eof L.vdia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink
ham, Lynn. Mass.. for special advice.
When a medicine has been successful
in restoring to health so many women,
yon cannot well say. without trying it,
"I do not believe it will help uie."
