Others use them be cause only one-half the quantity is required anij the flavor Is perfect. a very largo part of our Amor icon population. “I think I know the reason for it. too,” continued the drummer, ns he mopped the perspiration that was trickling from his brow. When the Russian government showed its open persecution for the Jews nil admira tion for Russia and Russian people was put out of the hearts of the American people forever. The Amer ican people will not stand for perse cution of any religious sect. Tolera tion of all religions is a truly Ameri can principle. “Like all of my countrymen. T say ‘Go It Togo, we're with .von.* ” And the drummer who wasn’t of the Jewish faith, either, picked up his sample case nnd bolted for the elevator. Sermons and Prophecies.

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.

It was held at the Wriittakers’ homo In Kenwood, and was within a few blocks of the Baron home. The Barons were at rolling peacefully home about 12 o’clock, when an Idea came to Barbu.

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.” The Mlkadols reply which Is as fol- 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." Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Brown, after spending a few days here with rela tives and friends, left last night, ac companied by Mrs. Brown's sister, Mias Lucy Pollard, for their, home at Port Tampa City, Fla. but Mias Dunn’s was so close that it was thought to be a distinction with out a difference and Prof. Pound made them share the honor equally. Edith’s average was 99,59 while Bessie’s was 99.5S. Miss Fannie Carawell got sec ond honor, her percentage being 99.35. Robert Walker received an honor able mention on account of his re markable perfection In mathematics, his average being 100, or perfect. Mr. W. D. Upshaw offered a book prize for the best essay on a subject assigned by Prof. Pound. The subject was “W. D. Upshaw,” and Bessie Dunn won the book. The largest sea turtle ever brought to Pensacola was captured a few days ago by a party on Santa Rosa Island. The turtle weighed about one thous and pounds.

If the Russians thought Linevitch could whip Drama In Manchuria they would not make peace, but they are afraid of the outcome of this battle.

It seems evident that the Chinese have the right on their side. The Chinese exclusion law should be repealed or modified. There are some secrets connected with the attack of the Japanese upon the Russian warships In the sea of Japan that have as yet not been made public.

Many a mnn whose head has been slivered In the coarse of time seems to have forgotten that he was onco a boy. He rails at the foibles of youth, and holds up his hands In holy horror at their mischievous pranks. Don’t forget the days when you robbed birds nests and played truant to lure the finny tribe from their lair. The happy days of boyhood are spent In an endeavor to have sport, and even If the boys do sometimes overstep the bounds of orthodox give them for giveness lest in your attempt to curb them you break the spirit thst leads to success in sfter life.

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.

"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 ne.ghborbood.” ”1 live four blocks from here,” said Baron with hoot. ”1 could pass here every morning on my way to the sta tion—” "Only you don’t said tho druggist, •a acid as hla lemon phosphate.

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 —’Til bet you $10 for a new cut-glass bowl that I can lead you to It in the dark.” "Lead on,” remarked Baron, sepul- eh rally. Til mop up the floor with that measlyflttle pirate for daring to doubt my word, but I’ll pay him first.” When the Barons returned twenty minutes later Mrs. Baron was holding a crisp new $10 bill.
