LIFE OR DEATH FOR JAPAN 8t. Petersburg ' Paper Takes View of Far Kant War That Is Prompted More by Hope Than Conditions, St. Petersburg. March 29. Fore coat Inf the result of the war in the fnr east, the Novosti declares there is no more doubt as to who will be the eventual victor than there was at the commencement of the Graeco-TurklBh, the Spanish-American or the Boer war "For Japan the war la a life and death struggle," continues the Novosti. "She plocjs everything on one card. For Russia it ia really a colonial war, and event defeat would leave the empire not greatly affected, while auccesa would be sure to mean a great stimu lus to the Russian colonization of Manchuria, where It la reasonable to suppose many soldiers will settle after the struggle is over. "Out," adds the paper, "Russia should not pay .oo high a price tor thla colonial empire, and, therefore, Mould conserve us far as possible the army and the fleet" FRANK CAN'T GET UP.

In the meantime I have to Buffer for the necessities of life. I always set on alarm clock, but they have no effect on him. I have thrown writer In hla face to awake him, but he only grunts and turna over to sleep again. Judge, X can't stand It any lunger." "Frank la all right," she continued.

Blossoms That Bloom in North Be 8een at World's Fair. San Francisco, March 29. Mrs. Mary E. Hart, lady manager for the Alaskan exhibit at the St Louis ex position, has returned from Puget sound. She says arrangements have been made to reproduce at St Louis a scene Illustrative of the vegitatlon of Alaska. To accomplish this the teach ers of Alaskan schools will Instruct their pupils to gather slips and bulbs. and these will be so cared for that they will bear transportation to St Louis. It is expected that a very large percentage of them will thrive and so aid in the creation of a characteristic B.ll uiuill. " The Alaska building at St Louis will be in the colonial style of archi tecture. Flanking this building will be Alaskan houses, exact reproduction of those that are common in Alaska. A choice collection of large and elabor ately carved totem poles will serve two purposes. One leading object is to hove them attract attention to the Alaskan exhibit which they are likely to do In view of the fact that they will be not far from a main entrance to the exposition grounds, and their height will make them loom up in full view from the "Pike," which is the Midway of the St Louis show. The second object in having the totem poles is to reproduce an Alaskan vista as nearly as possible. Amid the totem poles the bulbs gathered by the child ren of Alaskan schools will be planted, and with due care In the proper season they will blossom gaily for the credit of the land that is their habitat. Mrs, Hart has been busily engaged In Seattle and other northern cities talking about the Alaskan exhibit and In giving Information about Alaska. She will remain in this city several days.
