Initiative Japs.

Strolling through the japanese Vii.
lage now ut the Columbia theater in
this city with friend who had passed
several years in Yokohama, our con-
versatiOn turned on the initiative facul-
ty of the Japs. They have a great
passion" he said, 'for microscopic re-
production. In illustration of this LEI
me tell you of an incident that occurred
in Yokohama when was there. Among
the Americans who were there was an
old gentleman from Philadelphia, who
wore pair of silver spcctacles. One
day he found that one arm of his specs
had come loose and been lost. So he
went to the shop of n Jap who was an
expert worker i'm metals. and asked him
to make n new arm for his specs, exactly
like the old one. which he left with him
for n model. He called several times
after that to get his specs, but was told
that they were not done yet. At last
he grew impatient, and asked what the
difficulty was. The boss of the shop
told him that there was one part of the
job that was very difficult, and that il
would take some time to do it. He then
brought out the specs and showed his
customer what he meant. The old arm
had stamped on it Chambers Il Co,
the name of the Philadelphia manufact-
urcr. The letters were raised and very
small, and on n cOuntersunk field. The
Jap. having received strict orders to
make the new arm exactly like the old
one, had been laboring to reproduce
exactly this stamp. This would have
been the work of an instant with the
original die, but to do it free-handedly,
SO TO speak, tasked the ingenuity even
of the Jap, who was greatly relieved
when he learned that his contract did
not cover this provoking bit of engrav-
ing. Chica1O Journal.

Correct, my dears Now, what do
you do in Sunday-school TO learn to be

read Gods Holy Word" said the big
gest in the class.
Quite right, my children" smilingly

evidently struck snag, and the sus-

A Good Story on ,Jn Cannon

The Hon. Joseph Cannon, the loud
talking member from Illinois, cannot
speak II minute without striking ont
vigorously with ms left arm. The fast
or he talks the swifter his left fist flies
through the air ut the Democratic side
of the house. His compliments in that
direction are always left-handed. One
day, two or three sessions back, Sun
set Cox had the floor in the midst of
an important debate. Cannon jumped
up to ask him question, and as usual
set his left arm in motion, with the
long bony forcfingcr violently vibrating
toward the head of the New York
humorist.
81 will grant the gcntlcman's request
upon ono condition." said Cox
what is itP" asked Cannon.
That you will put your left hand in
your pocket and keep it there until you
get through with your question" replied
Cox
Cannon was not Il little nOnplussed at
the novelty of the contract, but pro-
ceedcd to comply with the terms He
did not get half through with his ques-
ton, however before out flew his fist on
level with Sunset"
Stop" said Cox, mot another word
l knew you couldn't keep your promise
i am not going to have that left handed
lick ut me forever" And he shut off
the member from Illinois. - WASHINGTON
