THE MESSENGER, ROCKDALE, TEX., THURSDAY, OCT. 25, 1906.
Ito’s Sudden Change.
Marquis Ito baa surprised all Chris-
tendom with his suddenly formed opln-
llons of China's Immense power as a
iflghtijig nation. He Is now forming
e government for the empe.or of Japan
in lieu w that which was animated by
the late Premlei Yamagata. Ito says
no nation can conquer China, that the
whole world would have to combine
agalrist her. He wants all the pow-
ers to evacuate Pekin and advises the
restoration of the status quo ante.
Jay Hubbell.

jth
MARQUIS ITO.
This advice is regarded as no less than
lamasing coming from a statesman
who, a few years ago, .routed the Chl-
ese with great facility and punished
em until they begged for mercy.
Japan itself was able at that time to
conquer China, and Ito knew It well.
iWhat has come about so suddenly to
Change his views la the question puz-
«Hng many people. This ques-
tion recalls the old proverb about
Japanese craft—a characteristic in
which the islanders are excelled only
by their cousins on th^ big mainland.
A Wee Editress.
It has fallen to the lot of little Lady
Marjorie Cordon, the second child and
only daughter of Lord and.Lady Aber-
deen, to be the
youngest editress
in the world. When
quite a little girl
she was given
charge of the chil-
dren’s page In On-
ward and Upward,
a magazine entire-
ly edited and man-
aged by her moth-
er; this proved an
excellent training
for the future editress of Wee Willie
Winkle. She took charge of all the
competitions, Judged with the most
conscientious care the work and solu-
tions which were sent in, and gradu-
ally found herself in personal corre-
spondence with many wf her mother’s
younger readers; thus was formed the
nucleus of the Wee Willie Winkle,
which owed its curious name to the
quaint verses written by William Mil-
ler, a Scotch poet, who was described
by Mr. Robert Buchanan as the laure-
ate of the nursery.
Lady Marjorie.
Will Command the Holland.
Admiral Dewey has a vacancy on
his personal staff caused by the assign-
ment of Lieutenant Caldwell to com-
LIEUT. CALDWELL,
mand the submarine boat Holland.
Thus far the admiral has not Indicated
his desire to have an appointment
made to the vacancy, and It will de-
pend upon his wishes whether the va-
cancy shall be filled.
Duxxards Disappear.
The Houston Post says that a
strange feature of the Galveston ca-
lamity is the absolute disappearance
of the natural scavenger of the coun-
try—the buzzard—just when he is
^iost needed. Not one is to be seen
anywhere, though It would be natural
to suppose that the bodies of so many
dead animals and human beings would
attract thousands of buzzards from
4Utant parts.
The Late Jay Hubbell.
Judge Jay A. Hubbell, chairman of
the national Republican congressional
committee in the Garfield campaign,
when he figured as “2 per cent Hub-
bell,” five times congressman from
Michigan and a resident of Houghton
for more than forty years, died last
week at the age of 71. It was just
twenty years ago that Mr. Hubbell
was the chairman
of the Republican
congressional com-
mittee, member of
congress, an able
lawyer, and well
off In the world’s
goods. That was.
the year of the
campaign in which
Garfield was
elected president.
Hubbell was one of
the most active captains In Republic-
an politics. It fell to his lot to at-
tend to the campaign assessments.
The levy was noised abroad, got Into
the newspapers and the Michigan con-
gressman, not caring to Involve the
committee, assumed all the blame and
bowed his head In silence. He was
entirely discredited at home and else-
where, and vainly tried to regain his
seat In congress.
Mr. Hubbell was a native of Avonr
Mich. He was graduated from the
University of Michigan in 1853 and
was admitted to the bar in 1855. He
was district attorney of the upper
peninsula from 1857 to 1859, and in
1860 he removed to Houghton. He
served five successive terms In con-
gress until 1880, and on his return
to Houghton from Boston he was
elected a member of the state sen-
ate. While In that body he secured
an appropriation for the Michigan
College of Mines, and he donated a
site. This Bchool Is now one of the
best In America. Ten years ago he
was elected judge of the 'thirty-first
diatHct and'was re-elected. His term
expired In January of the present year.
Empress Frederick. dll.
Dowager Empress Frederick of Ger-
many has passed into the acute stage
of her Illness and Professor Renvers
of Berlin has been summoned to her

Is the eldest child of Queen Victoria,
and , was the Princess Royal of Bng-
land. She Was married to the late
Frederick III., emperor of Germany
on Jan. 25, 1858, to whom she bore
seven children, the eldest being the
present Emperor William.
To Try /or the Tote.
Evelyn B. Baldwin, who will under-
take a Journey of discovery to the
north pole In the summer of 1901, at
the head of an expedition to be equip-
ped by William Ziegler, a wealthy
citizen of Brooklyn, is an experienced
arctic explorer, well Informed In the
topography of the frozen north. He
Is a rugged, hardy »
and courageous
traveler, Inured to
the privations and
alive to the dan-
gers which attend
all attempts at
reaching the pole.
Mr. Baldwin ac-
companied Lieut.
Peary in his ef-
forts to gain the
pole In 1893 and
in 189*, and was a conspicuous mem-
ber of the expedition which was com-
manded by Wellman two years ago.
The new aspirant for arctic honors Is
a native of Illinois, and is an expert
meteorologist.
E. B. Baldwin.
Tests for Fictitious Dank/Totes
There are many simple tests for
fictitious bank notes. The most diffi-
cult feature to Imitate In our somewhat
cumbersome paper money is the water
mark,but this can be imitated properly
by placing the forged banknote under
a heavy die. Forgeries of this kind
are detected by damping the note with
a sponge. If the dote 1b a genuine one
the water mark will stand out clear;
if a "duffer,” it will almost disap-
pear.
EiK* Father. MJke Son*
Hugh John MacDonald, the eonriag
leader of the conservative party In
Canada, is immensely popular, not
only in his own province of Manitoba,
but in the dominion generally. He is
50 years old and possesses aoaay palate
of resemblance to his distinguished fa-
ther, the late Sir John A. MacDonald,
the greatest statesman as yet pro-
duced by Canada. An index to the
character of thd
younger DacDon-
ald is found in the
nickname given
him by the In-
dians of Manitoba
—“The Man Who
Keeps His Word.”
His advent as a
leader Is recent.
He had repre-
£>“
deed hrid been a cabinet minister, but
it was not until last year that he ac-
cepted the headship of the conserva-
tive party in his province. Wide
areas of influence are now - opening
before this brilliant lawyer and states-
man. It is believed that the mantle of
Sir Charles Tupper is about to fall
upon him and that he will wear it
with credit
Colleges and Donds.
Four-fifths of the productive funds
of colleges are invested in bonds
and mortgages. Only a few hawe
made any investments in stocks.
Two of them, Columbia and Har-
vard, have considerable invest-
ments In real estate, but of the latter’s
ten or more millions railroad bonds
claim the largest share. Twenty col-
leges have an Income-producing prop-
erty of at least $1,000,000. These are
as follows: Harvard, $10,000,0(10;
Yale, $5,000,000; Columbia, property
producing a revenue of $425,000; Cor-
nell, $6,000,000; University of Chicago,
$8,000,000; Johns Hopkins, $3,000,000;
Northwestern university, $3,000,000;
University of Pennsylvania, $2,500,000;
Wesleyan of Middletown, Conn., $1,-
000,000; Amherst, $1,000,000; Boston
university, $1,000,000; Rochester uni-
versity, $1,200,000; Tulane university of
Louisiana, $1,000,000; Western Re-
serve university, $1,000,000; and Brown
university, $1,000,000: Several state
universities, among them those of Cal-
ifornia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Min-
nesota have revenues representing
either property or state help to the
amount of $1,000,000 and upwards.
“Resources of Siberia.
Under government encouragement,
it is said that Siberia is gaining 200,000
farmers per year. Among Its exports
are cereals, butter, wool, leather and
dried and preserved meats. Already
this remote country, which the popu-
lar imagination Is apt to picture as a
vast waste, the abode of frost and
snow and misery, is becoming talked
of as a possible competitor with the
well-known cereal producing countries
of the world. A member of the French
bureau of foreign commerce estimates
that, on the basis of the present popu-
lation of Russia in Europe, Siberia can
sustain 80,000,000" inhabitants, al-
though it now has not one-tenth of
that number. It produces one-tenth of
the world’s yield of gold, but owing to
climatic obstacles many of its mines
are not worked, and its immense coal
deposits have hardly been touched.
When Edison Was a Doy.
Edison was, as a boy, a great reader.
He set to w;ork methodically to read
through the Detroit free library from
one end of it to the other, and had
devoured "fifteen solid feet of litera-
ture” before he was interrupted. Be-
fore he was twelve hq had polished off
"The Decline and Fall of the Roman
Empire,” “The Anatomy of Melan-
choly.” “Newton’s Prlncipla” and oth-
er learned works of which most twalre-
year-old boys have scarcely even
heard,______
S'
Abandons Quest for Sight.
After five years of hoping against
hope, at the age of 64 years, Charles
Broadway Rouss, the blind millionaire
merchant of New
York, has with-
drawn his offer of
$1,000,000 for the
restoration of his
sight. His sight
began to fall in
1892, and within
three years he lost
It entirely. His of-
fer of $1,000,000 for
a cure encouraged
thousands of
quacks and fanat-
ics to offer their services,
in diseases of the eye examined him
and said he was suffering from paraly-
sis of the optic nerve, a disease for
which there was no known cure.
As Mr. Rouss had no time to devote
to the experiments which the healers
wanted to make he hired a substitute.
James J. Martin, the other bliqd man,
has the same trouble that afflicts Mr.
Rouss, and he is poor. He reoelved
$6 a week from Mr. Rouss at first for
his services In the experiments. His
pay was cut down to $3 a week recent-
ly and Mr. Rouss has announced that
he will discontinue that allowance now
that all experiments have failed, and
the offer of a reward is withdrawn.

THREE WORDS.
For three words that you said to jne,
I go through life full cheerily;
They shield me like some holy charm
Tha( wardeth off distress and harm,
And bar from earth’s Iniquity. __
O happy heart, that kaows not doubt
nor ache.
For .three words’ sake.
For three words that you sale, I know
How rich the poorest hind may go,
And’how- a very prince may be
Draped hi the deepest poverty; -
And how Love laughs to have it so.
Such Is the tender knowledge I may
take, -
For three words' sake.
For three words that you said, I stand-
With strength unfailing in my hand,
Knowing no thing I would not dare.
Bent by no burden I must bear;
Armored to meet a world’s demand;
My heart may never fall, my spirit
break, .
For three •words' bake.' ...... *
A Personal.
BY LOUISE HOLLAND.
(Copyrighted, -1900: Dally Story Pub. Co.)
“I say, boys, there’s more than one
way of getting married nowadays.
Listen to this," exclaimed Laurence
Meredith from the cozy corner of the
club smoker, where his tall, graceful
form and handsome blonde head were
almost lost from view under the num-
erous sheets of a Sunday morning pa-
per and the smoke from- bis cigar.
"A young man, thirty years ol
age, of exemplary habits and good
business position, desires acquaint-
ance of young lady about twenty-
five, good looking, educated, refin-
ed; object, matrimony. Address
K. 290," —
"Doesn’t it beat all what fools some
men are?”
"Yes, and women, too; for I’ll bet
some antiquated female will answer
that personal before night,” declared
Charlie Norris. *
“Oh, I don’t believe it,” returned
Laurence. “No woman would sell her-
self that cheap.”
"How much do you want to bet?”
Inquired Laurence.
"Well, you write the personal to be
addressed to yourself (some fictitious
name, of course), at the Club, and you
agree to show the answer to the. rest
Of us, so that we can be sure it’s no
bogus billet doux; and I’ll belt an even
hundred to. your ten that you’ll get an
answer Inside of two days.”
“It's a go. Now come and help me
out with the Personal. It makes a fel-
low feel like a fool to try and write a
description of himself!”
“How would this suit you?” asked
Charlie. ‘A young, rich, handsome, in-
telligent, interesting, affectionate and
loving young gentleman, desires ac-
quaintance of a lovely young girl;
sylph-like type preferred; object-”
“Ring off, you cad!’’ cried Laurence
angrily, "what do you take me for?”
“Why, it’s a perfect photograph of
yourself, and the other is just the kind
of a girl you like,” said Charlie with
a sly look at the others.
"I have it!’ cried Charlie. ‘A young
man with a glass eye, cork leg, and
tin ear wishes to make the acquaint-
ance of a young lady likewise endow-
ed; no imposition; even trade; object,
matrimony.’ ”
"Now, Charlie, shut up. Laurence,
listen to this,” and John Strong read
what he had just scribbled on the fly
leaf of his book: ‘A young, honest,
Intelligent man desires acquaintance
of young lady possessing similar at-
tributes; object, friendship; possibly
matrimony. Address L, 425 Niposink
Club.’ You see that qualifying opens
to you an honorable road for retreat;
will that do?”
"Just the ticket,’ said Laurence.
"Heavens; Jack, but you’re a deep
one.” said Charlie.
"He uses his head to think with as
as to eat and drink and talk with;
you’d do well to cultivate liim, my
boy,” put In Laurence, glad to give
Charlie a hit for his too accurate des-
cription of a girl he admired.
"Well, boys-, I must be moving,” de-
rlnrari Charlie, ignoring—Laurenoe-’e-
shot, thinking it well to rfetire before
he got another, and he was off, to be
followed soon after by his companions.

In a girl’s dainty blue and silver
room were gathered a knot of South-
ora debutantes to talk over the details
of the next ball, the experience of the
last one. and to become more inti-
mately acquainted with Margaret De-
land’s gay young cousin, a pretty
brown-eyed, brown-baired girl from
the North, who, with her alert, viva-
cious and independent ways, formed
quite a contrast to her quiet, demure
and more conservative sisters of the
South.
Kate Irving was but eighteen, and
this visit to her Southern cousin
witnessed not only the first flight from
the home nest, but her Initial entry
Into the .social whirl as well; and, to
her It seemed a veritable peep Into
fairyland. _ 'Yet she carried herself
well, and her head was not turned by
the many flattering attentions she re-
ceived from the Southern gallants
whom she met..
In a momentary lull of the details of
Maude Clhre’s receptlpn gown, Mar-
garet put the. question, “Who do you
think called last night?”
“It couldn’t have bedb John
Strong?” inquired Milllcent Dean, a
girl whose baby face and innocent blue
eyes almost belled the meaning look
she gave the others as she asked the
question.
Margaret flushed, and replied; “He
was here, but Charlie Norris came
with him and, girls, he was so Infatu-
ated with Kate he hardly addressed
three words to me during {he entire
evening. What will we do with this
Northerner, if she comes among us
and carries off the handsomest man in
town?”
“Oh, Marga «t! Why, girls, he and
Margaret got Into such a heated dis-
cussion on ’Modern Woman,’ you
turned Kate.
“Did Margaret agree with him;
what did Charlie say?” asked Maude,
trying hard not to look too interested
in that young gentleman’s viewB of
the weaker vessel.’’
“Of course she didn’t agree with
him. Why, he says the modern wo-
man is as bold and Independent as a
man, and as for the restraints of cus-
tom and things conventlonaV, she ut-
terly ignores them.”
“Yes,”. interposed Margaret, “he
grew so much in earnest that he said,
‘why, ladies, to show you how convinc-
ed I am , that I’m right, I’ve got-a bet
of a hundred dollars with a certain
fellow who shares your antiquated
ideas, and tomorrow evening I’ll blow
that hundred on a swell dinner at the
Club; ladies, consider yourselves .en-
gaged for Tuesday evening, May 2b;
and we’ll toast woman, old and new.”
“How lovely! ’ I wonder what the
bet’s about?” And Milllcent clasped
her white hands above her head and-
gazed up at the blue and silver ceiling
as if its intricacies could unravel the
mystery. ~ .
“Girls, I have*lt!” cried Kate, who
had been idly fluttering the” leaves of
a book which John Strong had the
evening before brought Margaret;
don’t you remember, Margie, how John
said, ‘don’t get too personal, Charlie/
and Charlie laughed and said, ‘what do
you know about personals?’ and John
answered, ‘Nothing, only I don’t think
it safe to bet an even hundred to ten
on them;’ and girls, look here on the
fly-leaf of this book, A young, honest,

over the Ad. sheet; “and, girls, I’ve

“So that Charlie can win his bet?”
queried Maude, who was dying to
know if his interest in the fair North-
erner was returned by her.
"No! Just for the fun of the thing;

- Tuesday, May 20, at five p. m. The
Club smokef presented an unusually
gala appearance; flowers abounded,
chairs and tables were disposed in
social, yet convenient form, not bunch-
ed, as was usually the case; magazines
and papers were placed, not scattered
about, and not a cuspidor or cigar stub
was visible.
In the dining room covers were laid
for twenty, and at the door, waiting

YAQUIS AS TRAILERS.
Incident* IUnstratliifr Their Skill a*
Came of Heouiing.
“The Yaqul Indians are wonderful
natural trailers,” said a former Mexi-
can trader, relates the New -Orleans'
Times-Deftiocrat. They ought to make
the best scouts - In the world. Some
years ago I was stopping at a place
called Ysletl, near the east coapt of
Yucatan, when-my*cabin was robbed
one night of several hunefred dollars
in gold. I hired a very intelligent Ya-
qul named Pedro to help me chase the -
thief, and we started at once. The .
thief who did the job had fled on
horseback, striking northwest, and be-
fore long mjr guide had a pretty ac-
curate idea of his personal appearance.
He picked up his information a scrap
at a time, beginning with the discov-
ery that he was undersized. When I>
asked how he knew, he pointed to a
willow tree from which one of the
. lower branches had been recently
broken. * The rascal had dismounted
there for a rest, and several' flat
-stones were piled on the ground under
the broken branch. Pedro surmised
that he wanted a whip and had to
stand on she stones to reach the limty.
which was really not very high. I
mention this incident because it seem-
ed to me at the time to be very far-
fetched guessing, but it turned out ,
afterward to be absolutely correct. He
knew the* colors of the man’s saddle
blanket from a few shreds cdught on-
a thorn bush, and learned that he car-' ^ £
ried a.native water bottle by its print f>
in the soft dirt near a spring. What
astonished me especially, however,was
the ease with which he followed the
train of the horse over flinty, sun-
caked stretches, where not the faintest
sign of its passage was visible to my
blunter vision. We caught up with
the thief on the second day, and all of
Pedro’s predictions were verified to the
letter. He was a prowling half-breed,
and when hard pressed had hidden the
money under a log in a dense thicket.
My Indian located it in almost less
time than it takes to tell the story, and
laughed contemptuously at the other’s
lack of finesse. Yet he was not an
exceptional trailer. I have met dozens
of the tribe who'were equally clevei% >
Liszt's Personality. , -----
The best impression of Liszt’s ap--
pearance in 1854. writes Dr. William
Mason in the September Century, is
conveyed by a picture which shows
him approaching the Altenburg. Hfs
back is turned; nevertheless, there is
a certain something which shows the
man as he was, better even than those
portraits in which his features are
clearly reproduced. The picture
gives his gait, his figure and , his
general appearance. There is his
tall, lank form, his high hat set a lit-
tle to one side, and his arm a trifle
akimbo. He had piercing eyes. His
hair was very dark, but not black. He
wore it long, just as he did in his old-
er days. It came almost' dowrTTo big
shoulders, and was cut off square at
the bottom. He had it cut frequently,
so as to keep it at about the same
length. That was a point about which
he was very particular.

and smiling; the latter, though not de-
pressed, Btrongly preoccupied.
"I say, old fellow,” this from Char-
lie, "It’s a burning shame; you’re not
telling me a word about her. What
was she like? Lady of uncertain age,
or an airy, fairy Lillian?”
“Neither,” was the short rejoinder.
"Well, I’ll have it out of you when 1
give my toast/’ Charlie replied.
Laurence smiled. but iqade no an-
swer, as he turned to greet the first
comers.
Among the last to arrive were Mar-
garet and Kate, Margaret with a puz-
zled. mystified look on her face, and
Kate strangely excited. She greeted
Charlie pleasantly but, as she gave her
hand to Laurence, she blushed visibly,
and his embarrassment was hardly
less than her own. In fact, on Kate's
passing on and mingling with the
Sther guests, Charlie had to put the
question three times. “Wasn’t she the
prettiest girl he ever saw?” before he
had sufficiently recovered to reply in
the affirmative.
Dinner being announced, It was Lau-
rence’s good or bad fortune, ^as the
case might be, to take out Kate who
supported him at the lower end of the
table. At the upper end, with Maude
on his right, sat Charlie.
The affair progressed merrily,
though Charlie and Kate were the re-
cipients of many an inquiring glance.
At last toasts were In order; and
Charlie rose to his feet. “Ladies.” he
said, “to ydu alone Is due this festive
scene. Two days ago I made a bet
with my unsophisticated friend, who
graces the lower end of this groaning
board, an even hundred to bis ten that,
should he send a Personal to the paper
he would receive an answer inside of
two days—my admiration and obser-
vation of the fair sex leading me to be-
lieve that you always have an eye to
the main chanoe—in fact, you are like
that early bird who always gats tha
were lean and thin, but they did not
impress me as being very long, and he
did riot have such a remarkable stretch
on the keyboard as one might imagine.
He was always neatly dressed, gener-
ally appearing in a long frock epat,
until he became the Abbe Liszt, after
which he wore a distinctive black
gown. His general manner and hla
face were most expressive of bis feel-
ings, and his features lighted up when
he spoke. His smile, was simply
charming. His face was peculiar. One
could hardly call it handsome, yet
there was in it a subtle something that
was most attractive, and his whole
manner had a fascination which It Is
Impossible to describe.

We’re going to take him out an’ stand
