persecution for the Jews nil admira

was put out of the hearts of the

Have a sirloin steak cut two and
one half Inches thick and from heavy
beef. Remove the bone, flank-end and
superfluous fat; wipe carefully, and
place In a hot, well-oiled broiler. Cook
three or four minutes over and close
to a bed of coals, turning the broiler
every ten seconds; after four minutes
lift the broiler farther from the coals,
and turn as before for about ten min
utes. Before broiling the steak, have
Tead.v (to serve four) about six pota
toes’ cooked In boiling salted water,
drained, mashed and seasoned with
salt, butter and hot milk, and beaten
until very light. Pipe the potatoe on
to the edge of a hard wood plank
made hot In the oven; brush over the
potato with the yolk of an egg beaten
and mixed with one tablespoonful of
milk, nnd set the plank In a hot oven,
to brown the edges of the potato.
Have ready also a bunch of asparagus
cooked and seasoned, and about one
and one half cupfuls of cooked vege
tables—string beans, peas, flageolet
• (dried) and carrot (cut In bits)—
mixed and seasoned. Have also six
rings cut from slices of cooked car
rot. Have ready also a can of mush-
rooms—a part made hot In hot water,
and the rest added to one cupful of
brown sauce. When all are hot and
the ateak Is cooked, put the steak In
lives and earnings. It is sated with
the spectacle. The results have been
decisive, nothing Is to bo gained by
further contest, much is to he lost,
and universal oplnon is urgent.for a
settlement.
More than Russia can possibly
imagine depends upon its prompt con
sideration of peace terms. By a bull
ish reluctance It will offend against
a conclusion of the entire world
thought nnd set itself In a position of
aloofness and disrespect toward!
other peoples nnd Powers, whereas
by n courageous acceptance of the
inevitable it may nnd undoubtedly
will gain the sympathy of mankind.
A little humility now would exalt Rus
sia In world esteem. There is that
in the breast of man which applauds
a candid recognition of defeat. Tt Is
akin to the love of fair play, the spir
it which says. May the best mnn or
the host nation win. It demands that
the loser accept the results of a fair
tight: and by such acceptance the
lesor is not belittled.
Russia will render itself unnopnlnr
to the point of obviousness If it insists
nnon n repetition of trials with Japan.
Hashes could take hut one course.
Tt would he a needless nnd onesided
exhibition of carnage. Universal fair
play, moreover, demands that Japan
receive its due. Japan has conclu
sively earned the right to the laurels
and the spoils, it has suggested terms
not unreasonable—some of which it
would likely abate in the course of
serious negotiations: nnd the day of
reckoning has plainly arrived.

Togo’s Message and the Mikado's
Rtply.
Togo sent this modest and devout
message to the Mikado: “That we
^gained a success beyond our expec
tations,” said Togo, “Is due to the
brilliant virtue of your majesty and
to the protection of the spirits of
your Imperial ancestors, and not to
the actfon of any human being.”

lows. Is equally modest and fully as
devout: “We are glad that by the
loyalty of our ofllcers and men we
have been enabled to respond to the
spirits of our ancestors."

"No good!” ho slid, cheerfully. “I

The druggist smiled and waited. By
anil by Baron railed for another 1
phato and got it. He finished the
ond glass as his wife sipped the last
drops of her first one.
His hand went into his pen-kef for
tho 15 cunts due, and fished up a few
pennies. He drew out his pocket book
and found one lonely $50 bill. He put
it back and hunted through his pock
ets again. The iIniggist’s smile had
died. His eyes had a baleful glitter.
Baron fait that he was suspected of
being the lowest of sneak thieves In
stead of tlie honest, honorable Insup
•new man that he was. He tried no-
ot! -r pocket and asked his wife In a
lo‘ tone If she had her pocket book
wl h her, and then ho askod her why
no* Then be pulled his <50 bill and
tendered It awkwardly enough.
"I’ve only got 4 cents besides," said
Baron, uncomfortable under Clio basi
lisk eye of the drugglat.
"it’s queer about these fellows with
big Wits,” said the druggist pensively.
“They usually travel with 2 or 4 cent#
change. What drug atore In this part
of town could change a $5u hill at
mli’nigbt? it’s a cinch you know the

fort to appear at hla ease. "I’ll drop
in to-morrow morning and pay you.
I’m Harris W. Baron.”
“I never heard tho name,” remarked
the druggist with resignation in his
voice.
“Well, confound It, maybe you'd like
to see It printed.” said Baron teatily,
and he drew out the pocket book
again. He went through its several
compartments, and Mrs. Baron and
the druggist gazed with various feel
ings as Baron’s search revealed no
card
“WsiU* said Baron furiously, ”we
don’t neem to be able to settle things
up to-night, but I’ll be on band In the
morning.”
"That’s what they all say.” observed
the drugglat, practically rather than
cynically.
They were half through dinner the
next evening when Mrs. Baron sud
denly giggled. Baron moved uneasily
and foamed slightly.
“DM you pay the man the 15 cents,
dearest?” she asked.
"Naturally I wouldn’t let the matter
slip.” said Baron.
That evening, contrary to his cus
tom, he went oat for a walk. He was
gone perhaps an hour. When be
come back he eat down on the porch
and wrestled with his masculine
sense of pride and dignity. Then ht
spoke, and Mrs. Baron shrieked with
laughter.
"No,” she said at last. "I don’t
know the druggist's name, nor where
the store is. but"—she grew serious
