CZAR MAY GO TO HIS ARMY) The Creation of the Earth. Several Reasons for Nicholas's Desire to Fight. The Romanoff Family and Pa- triots Urge the Emperor to Join the Army in Manchuria. St. Petersburg, May 13 —Emperor Nicholas is arranging to go to Khar- koff May 23 to bid farewell to the Tenth army corps upon itedeparture for the Far West. The emperor is exceedingly anxious to go to the front. To his intimates, he has spoken much on the subject. but he realizes that conditions of state de- mand his presenee at home. Never- theless, he may follow the example of all the Romanoff dynasty during the lastcentury and undergo his baptism offire. To fight with the army is one of the traditions of his house. Alex ander Lontered Paris with the allies afterthe battle of Waterloo, Nicholas 1 died in a soldier's hovel in the Crimea, and Alexander I] with the heirapparent, Was ab the front in th: Turkish war. Perhaps an additional reason why Emperor Nicholas desires to meet the enemy is that he carries on his body the mark of a wound fnflieted by « fanatical Japanese policeman when he was attacked in Otsu, while on his visit to Japan several years ago. He was saved from death by the quick action of his cousin, Prince George, of Greece. Should he finally conelude to go, the emperor would not assume active command of the headquarters and take with him all the members of his military cabinet. Theemperorcould more easily advise General Kuropntkin in the event of any question of great military mo- ment which he might desire to sub- mit to the czar. The chief advan- tage would be the stimulus which the personal presence of the sovereign would have on the officers and men. Another advantage would be the stimulation to patriotism at home. The people of Kusgia are inclined to hold the czar and his house more or less responsible for the turn ofevents in the Far East, aod the reputation of being an active, fighting monarch would be of advantage to Nicholas. . ARE PREPARED FOR A SIEGE. Russians in Port Arthur Plan to Hold Out Nine Months. st. Petersburg, May 13.—ILt is evi- dent from a private letter written by an artillery officer at Port Arthur, dated April 20, that General Stoessel, | the Russian commander there, was then daily expecting the cutting off of his communications. The officer reported that every- thing was ready to withstand asiege and expressed surprise at the fact that the enemy had delayed so long. He said the fortress was practically impregnable, adding that there was a triple row of forts around the Port Arthur glacis, each position being foonted by a moat with a hedge of barbed wire beyond with bomb- proofs behind all the batteries. The oftiver further declared that they had plenty of supplies and ammunition and that the gar-ison was in excel- lent spirits and confident of being able to hold for nine months ora year against any number of the ene- my, even if they possessed siege guns General Kuropatkin offered Gener- al Stoessel reinforcements, but the latter declined them, saying he had enough men and did not care to run the risk of an epidemic as the result of overcrowding. Information reaching the general staff indicates that there is much sick- ness among the enemy’s troops in Korea; typhus especially is said to be rampant. _ Snored Herself to Death. Columbus, 0., May 14—Mary L. Gibe, aged 14, of Findlay, snored herself to death. “Let's lie with our backs together and eee which can snore loudest,” | placed said her sister to her as they lay in waiting for time to get up. » ‘They amused themselves in this BY GRACE JEWELL When God created the earth, it was a great, shapeless mass of gas. | As there was nothing to make light, the earth was in darkness. but at God’s word it became light. Then God separated the light from the darkness and part of the time it was light and part of the time it was dark; and He called the light time day and the dark time night. Each day of the week was marked by some great advance in creation. The work of the first day was the creation of light. On the second day God divided the waters of the earth from the clouds by a firmanent Heaven On the third day God separated the water from the dry land and call ed the water sea and the land earth. The same day God created plant life. On the fourth day God caused the sun, the moon and the stars to ap- pear. On the fifth day He created the birds and the fish and blessed them and bade them multiply and be fruit- ful. On the sixth day God created the land animals, end He formed man jfrom the dust of the earth and from | His own life. He gave man life and le became a living soul. And God made man ruler of the animals and | gave him the use of the plant. Then God placed the mau Adam in the beautiful garden of Eden. In this garden grew all the trees that were beautiful and all the fruit trees and a river towed thro’ Eden to water it, and after it flowed outof Edep, it branebed into four other rivers. And God let Adam eat all the fruit he wanted of the trees except of the tree of the knowledge ef good and evil. And God showed Adam all the anl- mals and he named them, but God had not made a companion for Adam. So He made Adam go to sleep and sleep very soundly, and then He took one of Adam's ribs and closed up the flesh. And from the rib God made a wo- man and took her to Adam, and she became his wife. And God saw that all He had made waa good. On the seventh day God did no work, but rested and made that day holy. The Creation. BY KENNETH BALDWIN, The first of Genesis is a history of the earth’s stages of development and preparation for the habitation of mankind. It is divided into days or periods as follows: First. God created Heaven and earth, which contained no life or light. He created light, which He called “Day,” and divided it from darkness, which He called, “Night.” Second. God created a firmament and called it “Heaven.” Third. He gathered the waters to- gether and called them “Seas” and the dry land. He called “Earth,” which, at His command, produced vegetation—grass, herbs yielding seed and trees yielding fruit. Fourth. God ereated lights in the heavens to divide days and nights and for signs, seasons, days and years. He made the sun, moon and stare. Fifth. God created animal life in ing them and causing them to multi- ply abundantly. . Sixth. He created beasts of life. Seventh. God rested from the sanctified the seventh day. in the garden to care for it. the waters and fowls in the air, bless- earth, cattle and every creeping thing; then made man in His own likeness, blessed him and gave him governing authority over all created work of Creation and blessed and God caused a mist to rise and wa- and food to grow in it, and the man, Adam, whom He had made, was bad no souls. God saw that Adam should not be alone, therefore, He caused Adam to sleep soundly, while He took one of his ribs, healed the wound, and made a woman of the rib. Adam called her “Woman,” be cause she was taken out of Man; and both were naked and were not ashamed. A man should marry and leave bis father and mother for his mother, if need be. MILLIONAIRE’S POOR STOMACH The worn-out stomach of the over- fed millionaire is often paraded in public prints as a horrible example of evils attendant on the possession of great wealth. But millionaires are not the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomachs, The proportion is far greater among the toilers. Dys pepsia and indigestion are rampant among these people, and they suffer far worse tortures than the million- aire unless they avail themselves ofa standard medicine like Green’s Au- gust Flower, which has been a favor ite houeehoid retedy for all stomach troubles for over thirty five years August Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus creating appetite and in- suring perfect. digestion. 16 tones and vitalizes the entire system and makes life worth living; no matter what your station, — Lrial bottles, 250; regular size, T5e.

Penned in a steel cage, battling for his iiie with a ferocious lion, armed only with a club, Trainer Steve Law- rence, of the Oliver street zoo, at St. Louis, was saved from death by the killing of the beast by Patrolman W. Euing, who heard the imprisoned man’s cries. Attaches of the zoo had failed io beat the lion off with hot iron rods. Caesar, the lion, reached the zoo five weeks ago from Hamburg, being shipped from Hagenbeck’s animal headquarters, where he had been| brought from Africa in the summer cargo. He was a fine specimen, stand- ing about three and a half feet. Caesar was surly from the first. He resented Lawrence's entrance, and growled savagely when struck with the iron fork. Not until Lawrence began to make him move about did he show real ferocity. Then he sprang at Law- rence, Who dropped to the floor of the cage. Quickly regaining his feet, Lawrence faced the animal, which did not spring at him again, but began to fight, strik- ing with his forepaws, brushing aside the fork Lawrence attempted to use. By this time Lawrence had backed into a corner, and the other employes at the zoo had been attracted to the cage by the growls of the infuriated animal. They secured hot and sharpened bars and at d to drive the animal to another corner, so Lawrence could reach the door. This aroused Caesar, and he | 1 springing alternately at the bars and at Lawrence, the latter defending himself as best ‘he could with the club, With the increasing fierceness of the lion's attacks even Lawrence, who 1s said to have been the coolest man in d | the h jand so e, was becoming frightened, one ran to the street seeking further help. The officer ran into the zoo and quickly put Caesar out of action with his revolver. POKES FUN AT ST. LOUIS. Odd Experience of a French Writer SServed W 3 of an Omelet, St. Louis people in Paris are protest- ing in letters to the newspapers against Jules Huret’s stories about their city. In a recent letter to the Figaro he wrote that on ordering poached eggs at a St. Louis hotel he received at the end of half an hour an enormous dish containing not only eggs, but fish, chops and vegetables— in fact, an entire meal, even to cheese. The name of the hotel is demanded. Huret also writes: “On arriving at St. Louis I learned that all the horses had been monopolized during three days for fetes given in honor of Roosevelt. During this time there was no interment and from 80 to 100 corpses waited on ice until horses were ready to conduct them to the cemetery. “However, I descended from the train with pleasure, knowing that the city was founded by the French in 1764 and that my compatriots built a fac- tory, although in 1804, when Napoleon ceded Louisiana, St. Louis had only 1,000 inhabitants. “Thus realizing that I was arriving in a French city, my melancholy dis- appeared. I was not disappointed, for there I met real Parisians and Parisiennes, among them M. Lecoewn, a great contractor, and his beautifur and spirituele wife; Roger Bouvard, an architect, and Mme. Roger, two Parisians with a suggestion of the creole; Messrs. Saglio De Montarmal and Legreve. Certainly I never shall forget the week passed in St. Louis.” NEW HOME FOR DRAMA.
