Probably one of . the first articles of association In connection with the present pres-ent war between Russia and Japan to reach America arrived during the past week, and Is just now in the city of Boston. It is in tho possession of Madge Carr Cook, formerly of Salt Lake, now playing in "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," who made a toui of Japan a couple of summers ago, and who has received this unique token of Japaneso patriotism in the shape of a sash pin from a young Japanese acquaintance ac-quaintance In Yokohama. How such a trifling piece of jewelry as a sash pin can have so peculiar a value in relation to the deadly struggle now being waged In the valley of the Yalu Is explained by the fact that, according to the letter accompanied this unique gift from the Orient, this particular pin is an exact reproduction of the one worn by the Mikado, and Is now being spread broadcast broad-cast in general use In that far-away Island empire In the whape of thoso cheaper popular Imitations. Tt la a good-luck pine, or .talisman, like tho well-known "kismet" symbols. Mr. Kasuwnra, who was a student at tho University of Michigan whon Mrs. Cook first met him. declares that all Japan "Is ablaze with fervent patriot-Ism patriot-Ism and thoroughly confident of her ability to defeat "her huge Slavic rlvri In the Manchurlan campaign. Mrs. Cook, with "Mra. Wlggs of the Cabbage Patch," will spend the summer In Chicago. |
