WAR WIU WAIT FOR A CAUSE
The American and Japanese people
have too much sense to go to war be
cause certain elements of the laboring
elawesin tho countries donot fraternize.
Japanese statesmen understand con
dititl. na well enough to know how fool
ish Is that demand on the part of
aorne of the jingo newspapers of then
oountry that a Japanese army be sent
to San Francisco to prevent street
gamins and other irresponsible persons
from shying an occasional brick at a
Japanese laboring man. When the
United States and Japan go to war, if
ever they do, it will be on account of
matters more grave than anything that
ooofronts the nations at the present
time.
When Japan recognized that it is
the settled poliov of the United States
to maintain the purify of the white
raoe on the American Pacific coast by
presenting it from becoming half white
and half yellow, and acqulesed in it, it
avoided the p-ob.bitity of war on ac
count cl race friction on this continent.
If the United States a'd Japan ever
oome to blows it will be over the
graer-1 supremacy on the Pacific oceac.
The Chinese "upon door," the Ameri
ean ownership of the . Philippines and
Hawaii and the tariffs and trade regu
lations are far more likely to cause an
American-Japanese war tbaa is the
inability of the police to fine ever>
urchin that trips up an Oriental on the
streets of Frisco.
Thomas Watson, of Georgia, former
congressmen, former Populist leader,
former vice-pres:dentl?l candidate,
former prtsidemlal candidate, former
magazine editor, historian and orator,
will establish a chain of weekly news
papers throughout the South. Thomas
S. Tibbies, the newspaper man who
ran as vice-president with Mr. Watson
on the Populist ticket at the last
national election, will be the latters's
managing editor. At the present
writing, Mr. Watson isa "Progressive"
Oemocrst, supporting Hoke Smith in
Georgia and W. J. Bryao in :he country
at large, and bis papers will reflect his
ideaa. Mr. Watson will have his head
quarters ft Atlanta, Georgia.
It would be a fitting thing for those
people at Sksgway who can do so to go
10 Haines on the Fourth of July. The
day will be celebrated there two days
beforse the big events will take place
at Skagway, atd in a manner that will
not fail to be entertaining to those who
witness the doings. Haines is Skag
w?y's nearest neighber and it would
b? ? real neighborly act for our people
to go down there and help Hainesites to
make the eagle scream. There will be
? good excursion to Juneau on that day.
but there will be some who cannot get
off to go there who could use the day
to renew and refresh friendships
with Haines.
A recently taken.census.ofSpokane by
United StaKs mail carriers shows a
population of 77,707. The federal
bureau of gtv lstics gave the city 60,

The great danger of kidney troubles
is that thev get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually oDermiued. Backache head
ache, nervousness, lameness, soreness,
lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy,
diabetes and Bright's disease follow in
merciless succession. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with
the certain and safe remedy, Doans
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415 \V.
Fourth St., Olympia, Wasb.,eiys: "I
have no idea bow much suffering: I
would have avoided had I known the
value of Doan's Kidney Pills sooner.
For three years I h.ve suffered, docto
ed and treated for a dropsical condition
of the body without ever knowing the
true source of the trouble to be in the
kidneys, until, about two months ago,
when I war induoed to try Doan'* Kid
ney Pills. I had swelling of the feet
and limbs; my hands would pu.'T up,
get tense and I could hardly close th in.
Tne other symptoms were lost sight of
m the more noticeale ones. Af.er pro
curing Doan's Kidney Pills, 1 found
prompt relief from the s'art. The
swelling and bloating were reduced
until they entirely disappeared and h
toning up and strengthening of my
' hole system was felt. The other day
I climbed up a steep bill without a
pause or a flutter of the heart. I was
not 6 weeks ago that 1 tried the s ,me
feat and nearly broke down in the
attempt."

A SURPRISE.

(Original]
We Lad been married but a few
months when I was obliged to leave
my Marian on a business trip to the
orient. I expected to be gone three
months) at the outside, but was absent
eight. I had frequent letters from my
wife und knew that she was In ex
cellent health, so I had nothing to
worry about.
I reached New York at 9 lu the
morning by steamer and at 10 drove
up to the door of my house, f had
carried the lutci;';ey with mo on mi
key ring and let myself lu. Seeing no
one below, 1 r:tu upstairs to my wife's
room, thiuking only of the transports
of our meeting inter my long absence.
1 was surprised to Und the door locked.
1 kuoeked. rattled the knob? indeed,
made every demonstration of one burn
ing to get iu and lake my lieloved oue
In my anus, rreseutly 1 heard the
words on the othirr side of the door:
"Uo away!"
The voice was not my wife's, but It
was a wiTinau's. 1 had no mind to be
thus treated on my return after so long
an ab-ence and kept on kno< kiug and
rattling the knob. Presently 1 heard
a sound inside that resembled nothing
1 had ever heard uul -ss It was the
flrst effort of a young rooster to crow.
I was puzzled. What "uiild It meauV
I gave a kick at the door with my
foot. In another uioiueut 1 heard the
same voice say:
"Do stop that tioise and go away!"
"What does it all mean'?" 1 shouted.
But there was no response, and alter
giving another kick I concluded to ac
cept the situation and went down
stairs. I touched a button lu the li
brary for I'egg.v, the mald ^ had left
at the house when I went abroad, but
Uistead of Peggy a new girl answered
the summons.
"Where's Mrs. Budd?" 1 asked.
"Don't know."
"Don't kuow? You're the uiald,
aren't you 7"
"Don't know."
"Do you uudeistand English?"
"Don't know."
"Never mind. That'll do. cio back.
1 dou't want you."
It took these four sentences lo get
tier out of the room, and I was trying
to think up some other method of soil
ing the riddle when 1 heard the front
door open. 1 went Into the linll. hut
not in time to see who had couie In. 1

"Yes. I aui. aud I'm kept out of nn

"You must excuse me. sir; I'm iu a

door.
"Well. I'll l>e hanged!" I suld to my
self. "This is agonizing."
I weut back into the library. It
wasn t more than ten minutes more
before 1 heard a ring at the telephone
upstairs, a woman's voice auswered
the ring. This was one-half the dia
logue, the half I heard:
"Yes, I'm Miss Arbuckle."
"You don't mean It."
"Ha, ha, ha! Cleverly managed."
"All right. Goodby."
Another ten minutes passed when I
heard the door open again aud a voice
called to me to come up. a uniformed
nurse ushered me Into my wife's room.
Marian was lying ou the bed and be
side her a nine pound chunk of flesh.
After I had taken both mother aud
child In one embrace, nearly smother
lug the child, I asked a few questions.
"She wished to give you a pleasaut
surprise," said the nurse.
"It was certainly a surprise," I re
plied. "The biggest part of It was my
treatment In my own house after my
loug absence. I suppose the man I
met Iu the hall was the doctor."
"Yes; he called me up by telephone
and told me how be kept the secret."
"And you're the woman who told me
to go away from my own door?"
"I was bathing the baby."
"And that's the little rooster that
crowed '!"
"You mean cried, I suppose."
"Well, I suppose he's coine In here to
take my place as head of the house."
And I soon found that he had.
