Show I REPORTED HARD FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Having nothing else to do, remarked the old codger, I attended a function while I was over at the other day. The affair w as held in a dispirited grove at the end of a road in which every time a horse popped down his foot the dust shot up in the air like a skyrocket. A band was playing without the lightest remorse. A statesman, with a neck as wrinkled as a pickle, droned forth redundant nonenities without end. A sad and rickety wound round and round to the sound of its own plaintive In a tipsy pavilion a hoarse person was endeavoring to sell. In brazen defiance of the pure food and drug .act, what looked alarmingly like horned toads fril in axle grease. A gentleman in a sylped tent near by hoarsely seated that he preferred to eat snakes at ten cents per serpent. There was the usual balloon which seemed perfectly willing to do anything but go up. Scattered around through the festal scene were a few old soldiers, grumbling; a smattering of farmers, also grumbling; sundry honest voters, likewise grumbling; and various other folks, nothing about whom is worth mentioning except that they, too, were grumbling. It may have been a reunion, a fair, a but whatrally, a picnic, or what-not- ; ever they chanced to call it, twas an excellent example of one of our most cherished Institutions Kansas City Star.

Doans I'E5' SYMBOL POPULAR OF VALUE Young Man Evidently Was Lacking in His Appreciation of the Countrys Statesmen. There is plenty of food for cynical thoughts in the national capital, as is shown by the following incident which happened on a Washington street car: A worldly young man, prone to criticise, was gazing at the advertisements which decorate the Interior of the car. One advertised a new kind of collar for men. The dome of the capltol was represented encircled by one of the collars, and on the senate and house wings of the building were placards giving prices and sizes. The placard on the senate end of the capltol read, Quarter size, and that on the other end said, Two for a quarter. The worldly cynical young man turned to his companion. That, he remarked, just about expresses my opinion of some of these here congressmen. Judge. 0AJ2D2WJfOU; O Matter of Justioo. ? Where shall justice begin, with those who have power or with those who suffer wrong? If exact and ideal justice were done, the weak would make an effort to give to the strong all that is their due, and the strong would try to put their affairs In order so that no just cause of complaint should exist anywhere. The unhappy element in the relations of the strong and the weak is that both are thinking too much about exacting justice and not enough about doing that which is just and right.

Mr. Holt recently returned from a tour of observation that covered Not Japan, Korea and Manchuria. even the French can surpass them in Such that respect, he continues. pretty, genuine and universal courtesy from all classes, high and low, I have never experienced. In cleanliness no people in the world approaches them. It probably not very far from the truth to say that every Japanese man, woman and child takes a hot bath every day. Going over to Korea from Japan I went down into the hold of the steamer about midnight. There were 300 or more third class passengers fast asleep, all packed in like figs In three tiers of beds. Though the only ventilation came from a skylight above, the room was as fresh and odorless as the" deck above. Those who have visited tAe steerage of any transatlantic Uner,ven the best, will appreciate this novel experience. The cheerfulness and contented-nesof the Japanese are as apparent to any visitor as their politeness and cleanliness. Every Japanese has a perpetual Bmile on his face. He has schooled himself to be contented. As for their estheticism in reference to art, architecture and painting, I shall refer here to two incidents. 1 went to the chrysanthemum shows in Both Tokio and Nagoya. In both places the halls were literally packed with poor people who had paid good money to see nothing but rows of potted chrysanthemums. Great On the railroad from Kyoto to Tokio we suddenly came in sight of Fujiyama the Peerless Mountain of Japan. There were some 30 Japanese in our compartment. Every passenger on tbs opposite side of the., car moved across the aisle, and then the entire carload gazed in rapt adoration at the sacred mountain during the half hour we were skirting its base. is a trait that imTheir presses every one. One of the most interesting talks I had during my trip was with a young grandmother of forty, who would not admit that we Americans excelled the Japanese because we were demonstrative with those we loved and communicated our happiness to others by freely expressing it woman No Spartan ever made sterner sacrifices than the many Jape anese wives who during the war committed suicide so that their husbands at the front would not have to waver between home and country in the battles crisis. There is no doubt that the business morality in Japan is generally low-el- 1 than in the west. The testimony of foreigners doing business in Japan is almost unanimous on this point. The chief complaint is that the Japanese haYe two prices for everything, and that they have but a rudimentary Sense of the obligation of a contract. 1 was told, for instance, that it was a common thing for a house builder to refuse to carry out his contract if he found he had miscalculated on his estimate and was not going to make a Mather's Lingual Attainment The mother of a little boy in Kansas City, Kan., recites negro dialect stories charmingly.

A Japanese can be, and often is, an adherent of both Shintoism and Buddhism. Temples Beautiful. Buddhism alone Of sail the world religions has never carried on its propaganda by the sword. It is now divided into a great number of sects. Of late it has witnessed a decided revival in Japan. Though neither Shintoism nor Buddhism has the clear conception of a personal God that Christianity offers, the great man of noble character is held to be the direct impersonation of the divine spirit. Of course a large part of our sightseeing was visiting the shrines and temples, many of them beautiful beI can never foryond description. get the Shinto shrines in woodland glades, which no human being ever enters, where the many gaze reverently through the latticed windows into the twilight silence within and where abide divinities and ghosts of fioble men.

They will not get an impression, however, if they spend most of their time among the Japan' ese as I did. While it is true that Christianity is probably not keeping pace with the growth of population, Christian ethical standards have already permeated the nation and are universally incorporated into the Japanese social system. Acceptance of Christianity as such has hardly touched the It has its upper and lower classes. footing almost entirely in the middle class. The students, as with us, are cjnsidered especially susceptible to its appeal. The two chief hindrances to the spread of Christianity aside from worldwide causes seem to be the present diversity and antagonism of denominations and the quite obvious discrepancy between Christian profession and practice. When Christian nations offer themselves as moral leaders, after the rapacity with which they have establshed themselves in the Orient, the educated Japanese is tempted to smile at the incongruity."
