Prance, the covert ally of Russia, now threatens to ralae an Interna tional question in the . Orient which will rob Japan of her Just reward for whipping Russia. France says, since the capture of Port Arthur, that the occupancy of that position by Japan is a menace to Europe in the Orient, and demands that the powers now step in and deny her the logical and well earned tro phies of her most wonderful cam naign against the Russian stronghold. This is a cowardly and vicious stab from France. The world has been certain for months that Port Arthur must fall Jnto the hands of the Japanese, and yet France has not raised her voice aeainst the useless and terrible laughter, until it is seen beyond a doubt that Japan will take the posi tion, then she cries "dunger.M ' It Is a thrust from a neutral power which is inspired by a secret alliance ' -avilh the -whipped combatant, and should have no weight with the other European powers. 1 The present war was brought on by t the 'interference of Russia, in the set tlement , of the war between Japan - and China, in which Russia prevented -Japan from taking the territory she hail won from China. IFrance threatens to play the Jtus . aian role and interfere in the settle ment of this war, thus robbing Japan a wecond time of well earned victory. The United States, England, Oer .many and other powers Interested In - tthe Orient should see that France keeps her meddlesome hands off this mntter. Russia Is whipped and she should take the consequences. No cowardly . cry of France sheuld cause any Inter ference In the settlement It is no more perilous for Japan to dtpture Port Arthur, than it was for .her to capture Liao Yang, Dalny or other Russian strongholds, yet, the international danger was not hinted as long as there was a possibility of Russia "winning the fight. Hands off. The victory , is Japan's. Let civilisation adjust Itself. CHURCH ATTENDANCE. "X writer from Sacramento, Cal.,' In' .January Everybody's discusses, in a short letter, the reasons why -work- -Ingmen do not attend church. He says that It is not a lack of oratory . that keeps them away; if every pul pit were filled' with Spurgeons, Beechers, Moodys and Talmages, they wsuld still remain away. He says the reason Is that work ingmen as a rule do . not believe In Christianity, that they- are either heedless, skeptical or atheistic, and that they need a reviving force which will approach them on their --own Diane and talk to them from a com mon ground; that the pulpit, while doing a worthy, earnest work, over reaches the masses and leaves them Id darkness and doubt. This la a weak excuse, in light of the fact that every city, hamlet, cross roads and country settlement in this age Is supplied with churches, to which every worklngman In the land has free access and is more than wel - come. . - There is no excuse to offer for their unbelief and Irrellglon, except that tbey will not listen to tha earn- -at men who are laboring ' lor the - benefit of mankind. There Is no ax- cuse, except that the worklngman is deaf la the calls of nature, truth, God and .his Inner self, which forces are all Impelling him to worship some thing. There Is no excuse for the heed lessness of the worklngman, except that he will not yield to the pleas of the better environment, around him, but clings to that which he knows is destroying his life. There is no absence of open doors for him. He cannot plead that churches are closed against him. He cannot plead that the truth and the beauty of Christianity are withheld from him, and are enjoyed alone by the well-to-do. ""He cannot plead that he has not been Invited, begged, pleaded with, to come into the light. He cannot plead hypocrlBy In the churches, as a repellanf force, be cause he is only responsible for his own acts, and need not follow the steps nor Imitate the example of any other man. He can be pure and hon est although all the world beside him were dishonest and irreligious. Be cause one or two or a doxen church members in his circle of acquaintance are not honest in their beliefs or prac tices, need not deter him, for he will be rewarded on personal merit and not on a general classification. He cannot plead that the best In fluences of the world were against him, for nine-tenths of the world's greatest and best men have lived lives of meekness and Christian charity as thrilling examples for him to follow, yet he accepts the Ideal of the one-tenth that has rejected all the good In the world and embraced the vicious. He says there is nothing to lose by rejecting the examples of the better class of men; let us see. If the scheme of salvation and redemption Is all wrong and men live Christian lives In vain, have they not done the best they , knew In accepting the ex ample of the best men on earth? They lose nothing by that life. But If the scheme of salvation Is right and true, and men cost away the best examples of the world, and accept the worst, what then? Mormons are in the saddle in Idaho in postoffices, county offices, legislature and state offices and now a Mormon is to be speaker .. of the house. A writer of more than ordl nary ability and with keen prophetic vision, has said that Mormonism will yet dominate the United States. Its tentacles are reaching Into many of the states, while It is yet confined to one central head. Its brunches ure Innumerable and three more central heads beside Salt Lake City are now contemplated, namely, at Kansas City, Chicago and New York. Its In dustrial policy holds members; there Is never a backslider among them und what members It gains are clear additions to the total, for there is no wasting away of Its forces. Its missionaries are now found in every country under the sun, and Its home missions extend to every city In the United States. It lays strong foun dations wherever it gains a foothold, by placing its members in public of fices, and thus securing all the emol uments and all the authority possible, These facts are significant. No other church goes to this limit in its missionary work. There is an excellent opportunity for some statesman to engrave his name high upon Fame's imperishable scroll by harking to the cry for postal reform and championing that cause. It seems strange that the many ab surdities of the postal system of this country should have gone so long un corrected, or that we should . have been so apathetic regarding a matter of such vital commercial Importance. Here are a few of the many Incon gruities of our present rates and regulations. They will never reform themselves; the public must demand, and then, possibly, statesmen will wake up and act. Our postal service carries a one ounce letter to Shang hai, China, for two cents, and charges 10 cents to carry the same letter to Jamaica. ' The postal service of Great Britain charges 2t cents to carry an 11-pound parcel. Uncle Sam charges 64 cents for carrying a four-pound parcel and limits the parcel post to four pounds. It costs five cents send a letter from the United States to New Zealand, and It costs but two cents to send a letter from New Zea land to the United States. "Wealth has Its penalties," said the philosopher. "Yes," answered Mr. Cumrox. "It1 pretty hard for a man to have to go guessing through a French menu when he would rather have pork and beans." . "Suppose I were to tell you you mu.it not go to thematlnee today, said Mr. Naggit "How would you like that?" "Oh," ambiguously plied his young wife, with a steely glitter In her eye. "I wouldn't mind, Judge The next person who Inter rupts the proceedings of this court will be expelled from tha rooml Prisoner Hoo-ray I ' Whoopee -ee Now, lemma got WAJU Unangered columns hurled upon a foe; Wood-guiltless souls made gory at a word; Cheeks drenched with tears and wid owed women's woe In the long wall of cloistered sor row heard.

Foley, in San Francisco Star. "CHAUFFEUR." A correspondent wants to' know how to pronounce the word "chauf feur." Some people call it "shofer, some call it "snaw-iewer, joun v. Rockefeller pronounces It "chofer,' nd we recently heard one lady talk Ing volubly about her "chaffer." One unlettered, but Ingenious fellow, has been known to refer to an auto driver l "chlffoner," says the Btnghamp- ton Herald. , Among all this admixture of pro- nunclatlons our correspondent should be able to get one to his liking. The second pronunciation with the accent on the "fewer" Is about as near right as any of them, although some cul tured people prefer "shofer." If you own an automobile and can hire a chauffeur you -can pronounce It any old way, and those of your friends who are without a machine will In no single Instance refuse to ride with you on that account Some" of them will even give you a hint that they think a ride in a motor car (that's English for automobile) would be Just too delight ful for anything. a When you go to get your machine at the garage you should be very care ful to state that you are on your way to the "gnrrazzhe." with the accent on the last half of the word. If you can't do that people will understand ou It you say your are going to the auto stable, or the place where your whizz wagon Is kept. ZIOMTEK UIIOW WHISKERS. Dowie's edict that the men of Zlou ahull grow whiskers has resulted In the male portion of the community appearing with unBhaven faces, while the barbers of the town are mourn ing the loss of business caused by the apostle's edict. In the effort to protect themselves some measure the barbers have entered Into an agreement to shave no Zloulte unless a haircut also Is ulso taken. The result of this agreement has been to further depress the barber business In Zion and encourage a more cheerful compliance with the mandate of the apostle, as the Zion- Ites concluded it was more economi cal to grow a beard than to pay for a haircut extra whenever they sought to be shaved. Thus It happens that compliance with the apostle'B order appears almost unanimous ln Zion and the crop of whiskers in the com munity promises to be luxuriant Nordy Washington could not tell He. Butts (mournfully) I wish my wite was that way. She can tell one of mine a mile off.

Last summer while recovering from 111 oess of fever, I had a severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism in the knees. from which I was unable to leave my room for several months. I was treated by two doctors and also tried different kinds of linemen ts and medicines which to relieve me from pain for awhile, but at the same time I was not any nearer getting well.
