feronco In connection with China'

"Tho nil-important question today
Is to Bottlo our domoHlic strife. When

ers In our midst will not duffer from
occasional disturbances and their
ministers nnd governments seeing thai
'China still .has tho ability to 'maintain

that China hn not tho necessary cap-

perty nild that Japan should bo np-

plode by itself.

This cynical grim but withal likable old

neither courage nor treachery are suffi-

These sloiies are all new and are bound

ways with the purses of the rich and dis-
honest and his rather hasty conclusions
in the matter of violent death Don Q is a
picturesque and genial old chap and these
new "Exploits" have not a dull moment in
them.
