It is said that in the Bible and
Shakespeare you can find quotations
and Instructions fitting all conditions
of lite. Brother Guthrie of the Boerne
Post Critic in a religous vein gives
the following pointers where comfort
in the Bible may be found:
If you have the "blues read Uo
27th Psalnv . .
If your pocket book is empty read
the 37th Paaim. .
If people seem unkind read the
15th chapter of John.
It you arp discouraged about your
work read the 126th Psalm.
If yon are all out of sorts read the
12tn chapter of Hebrews.
If you are losing confidence in men
read the 13th ch»i.an- of let Corin-
thlang.
It you can t have your own way in
everything keen silent and read the
3rd chapter of James.
THE REAL THING.
The Hon->vllle Chronicle very truly
says:
•True religion consists of love or
mankind. It does not consist wholly
of going to church singing psalms
and rolling onp'i ryes heavenward. It
consists in doing. And unless you
love your fell can forgive him.
and even do something for him. you

Is Lost But There Is Yet Hope
St. Petersburg Jan. 14. —Emperor Nicholas has addressed the
following rescript to the army and navy
“Port Arthur has passed into the hands of the enemy. Du 1 g
the eleven months that the fight has been going on in its defense
for more than seven months its noble defenders had been cut of
from the rest of the world. Without any positive assurance of relief
they continued to fight and did everything in their power to check
the progress of the cremy. sparing neither hfe nor hearts blood to
uphold the honor of the Russian people.
"Russia with pride and admiration followed each move in th
contest. The whole world was astounded at the galtantqr. but daily
the ranks thinned thtir powers of resistance diminished and under
repeated attacks by the enemy they were obligedto give.way.
Peace honor and undying memory will oe the portion of y u.
Russians who have fallen in defense of r ort Arthur. F * r
home you laid your bodies upon alien soil a sacrifice to the: dicta
of your honor and demands of your emperor. Peace and honoi-be
your portion. Always will you be so held in our hearts and "“""ory.
“Honor to the living. May God restore you to health and
strength and give you the patience to face this disaster which you
Sued. My gallant troops and sailors do =
dismay you. Our army is strong and danng. This fight g

InThe thousand years of its existence there have been still heavier

Russian strength grows with adversity. . . .
With all Russia. I join in the belief that the time is coming when
God will give strength to our glorious army and navy to arise and
break the forces of the enemy

JAPANESE CRITICISE ACTION OF
FRENCH TOWARDS RUSSIANS.
Tokio. Jan. 14. —The French are sharply criticised for permitting
ships of the second squadron of the Russian navy to make a pro-
longed stay at Madigascar. Heretofore the Japanese press and peo-
ple. realising the peculiar position in which France was
not disposed to judge her action so severely but the Asiah today
is no longer possible to overlook the French non-observance
of neutrality nor her disregard for her obligations as a neutral na-
tion. The coaling of ships of the second Pacific squadron in French
ports has culminated in allowing Rear Admiral Rojestvensky to re-
main for twelve days awaiting reinforcements and in the use oi
Madegascar as a base of operation against the Japanese fleet no
reported in the Indian ocean. Such action is little less.than hostile
and if France is sincere in her promises of strict neutrality the ships
of the second Pacific squadron ought to have Jong ago been sent
away or disarmed. Further temporising for the purpose of render-
ing assistance to Russian vessels must be a serious
breach of neutrality.”
JAPAN COMPLIMENTS GERMANY
ON NEUTRALITY DURISG WAR.
Berlin Jan. 14.—The Japanese government taking cogniza: ce of
the impression that Germany has not observed strict neutrality sent
a formal dispatch of thanks to the German government. It ex-
presses the conviction that Germany fulfilled her duties as a neutral
throughout the war with exactness and especially during the recent
events in the war zonet

was surrounded by all forma ot royal-
ty. by gentlemen in waiting and ser-
vants who showed liim most exag-
gerated respect and kept up an Illu-
sion that he was Indeed a sovereign.
He took much pleasure in the main-
tenance of severe etiquette read a
newspaper dally and seemingly kept
track of the world’s affaire and those
of his own little principality but he
never permitted anyone to speak of
them.
He played chess often and was fond
of music and theatrical productions.
The prince was a calm-faced hand-
some irau and usually dressed in a
military uniform and except for cer-
tr.'n excess of stateliness gave no
outward indication that he was weak-
minded.
He lived owing to bis punctilious
regard for his rank in practically a
mental solitude as it was unbecom-
ing to blm to exchange ideas’with his
inferiors.
Succession to the principality of
Lippe-Detmold is in process of adjust-
ment by the arbitration court. The
death of Prince Carl Alexander does
not affect the situation unless the
Lippe-Detmold diet interposes.
