Truly the lines of Japanese Insurers are
not cast in pleasant places. The Md1nicht
Shimbun records one of the most deter
mined murders we have ever heard OF,
the victim of which was a notorious
money lender living at Isshik -mura, Iu-
rugi-g ori, Sagami (Kanagawa Prefecture).
1t seems that this unfortunate usurer,
Tsuyuki Usaburo, had made himself par
ticularly obnoxious to the peasantry by
the manner in which he pressed them for
payment of their debts. Some time ago,
a number of the malcontents formed Il
league with the intention of slaughter
ing every member OF the Usaburo family.
Fortunately the police got wind of the
matter and succeeded in foiling the plans
of the conspirators. Despite this warn
ing Usaburo took no notice whatever OF
the matter and went about as usual with
out taking the least precautions. How
ever, he refused 10 advance any further
sums to the villagers, and they, having
no means to save themselves from starva-
ton, chose rather to die by the law than
from the pangs of a lingering death. On
the 18th inst eleven of the conSpirators,
hearing that Usaburo had gone on visit
to Oiso, followed him thither, each
armed with naked sword They traced
their victim to house which they for
chilly entered, and then literally hacked
the unfortunate man to pieces, cutting
off both legs and stabbing him in innu-
merable places. The adopted son of
Usaburo, who was present at the time,
shared the same fate Immediately af-
terward the murderers went to the police
station and voluntarily gave themselves
up. 1t is stated that the conspirators
number two or three hundred in all, and
that they were about to set fire to the
dwelling of Usaburo, but were prevented
by the police. who proceeded TO the spot
so soon as the murder was reported

Kisses to Grow On.

She was only a baby, but she held IN
her sweet red lips, shut the bright ewes
and went the rounds from one mambg
OF the family TO the other, repeating th
phrase she had just heard from her young
mothers lips,
"Three kisses and one TO grow on"
They caught her up. the darling. and
kissed and kissed her fair baby face
pulled the soft curIs, squeezed the dim
pied shoulders, and followed her ever
movement with wistful, worshipag
eyes, until she came to the sour, da6
pointed member of the family, who's,
worlds were all hollow, and dolls stuffed
with sawdust. She tiptoed up to the
stern, bearded face, and put fat club
by little hand on each unyielding knee
Three kisses, and one to grow on"
"What does all this tomfooIery meant
inquired the gruff, grumpy voice
Baby is three years old to-day, said
the young mother, feeling how hard it
to explain a simple, foolish custom Tho.
has no particular meaning, lana SO we
give her kiss for each year and one 70
grow on. But you needn't kiss he,
Uncle Ben, if you don't want to-"
What was it the old man saw in The
limpid eyes lifted to hisl-a vision oil
green fields and still waters Of paradise
or did some president knowledge posses
him, that he caught her up in his arms
as he had never done before, and kissed
her again and again.
"Not want to kiss hcr?' he said, ina
broken voice, "why, | should as soon
think of refusing to kiss an angel from
heaven. There! pet; there! and there.
Now may you grow on this one even 70
the heights of heaven-neycr short o.
their standard, little one. That Is iAe
old mans prayer.
Three kisses and one TO grow on
three short and beautiful years, aad
now
Her age / cannot tell.
For they reckon not by months AMI year.
Where she has gone to dwell.
But often wonder if we would no,
all reach nearer the gates of paradise
we had more kisses to grow on.
"To the height of the sinlesS angels
The little one has grown.
oh! great family of humanity Ieal
all your weary, wandering ones up i@
divine heights by kisses. They ns
stronger than blows; they leave ?,
stings like bitter words; they are DIe'el
memories that blossom in our crown
thorns when those whom we kissed las
gone from us little way beyond 'f''
or kisses; grown on that precioas, nY.'.
ishment into the higher life IN thee@
whose builder and maker Is God.
