THE PERVERSE JAPS.
They Do Every Thing In Fashion That
Looks Contr ariwiso to Us.

They Do Every Thing in q Fashion That
Looks Contr arlwiso to Us.
Located as they are on the other side
of the earth, what wonder is it that the
Japanese should do things in fashion
that looks contrariwise to us? At any
rate, this is indeed the case, an6 l
will enumerate few illustrations of
the topsy-turvey way in which they do
things in that remote and remarkable
land. The Japanese books begin upon
the page where our books end; the page
which we call the title page they utilize
for the colophon or finis. In the super
scription Of letter the Japanese begin
with the name of the country to which
the letter is to be sent, then follows the
city, then the local address. and finally
the name of the receiver, thus: America,
Illinois, Chicago, 112 Jones street.
Smith, John. This, after all, makes an
easier job for the post-ofice employees,
this descent from the general into the
particular.
In Japan babies are carried not in the
arms but upon the back. Etiquette
compels the removal of the shoes
rather than the doffing of the hat. Boats
are stranded with their sterns, instead
of their prows, on the shore. Instead
of saying northeast or southwest, the
Japanese say east-north or west-south.
Wine is always drunk before not after
dinner, and sweets are served before
the substantial viands of meal. In all
books the foot notes occur at the top of
the page; keys turn to the left carpen-
ters plane toward the body instead OF
outward, and in cash accounts the fig.
ures are written first and the CORE.

GRANDFATHER TO HIS WIFE.

When, in the first fair flush of happy youth,
looked with loving eyes upon thy face,
1t seemed to me there could find in truth,
The perfect type Of beauty and of grace.
And as the bells rang out their gladstone chime
That day when we were wed, I did not dream
That ever, with the mellowing of time,
Could that sweet face of thine more lovely
seem.
YET as see thee now-thy crown of white;
The glory of thy motherhood; the lines
Upon thy brow and cheek, marks of times
flight;
The many sweetnesses thy life combines
Methinks that in my youth my judgment erred.
Despite thy beauty, seeming so benign,
This heart of mine hath never been so stirred
AS by the loveliness that now is thine.

his midnight erraud. he knew not the
contents Of the message he carried. He had
simply been tod that it was matter of life
and death, and on he rode, counting the
miles and the hours, and only knowing that
he was going on time. The package he car
ried had been securely sealed. but he had no
interest whatever in the message except to
see 1T safely delivered. He had been prom
ised s25 for the trip.
West Cliff Is located two miles this side Of
Silver Clin. Through the former town the
messenger rode at q breal1neck speed, and
the inhabitants who had retired for the
night came out wondering what could be
the matter. Not until the next morning
did they know of the wild ride and its inn
portance to Mr.. Townsend.
The messenger reached Silver Cliff at
IL 80 O'Clock and found Mr.. Townsend at
his home in bed. He quickly arose and
dressed himself, aud in c few minutes had
read the message and penned his answer,
denying the alleged letter published in the
Denver Times
The next work in hand was to secure a
suitable horse to carry the messenger back
TO the telegraph station. The one he had
ridden up was thoroughly exhausted and
could hardly have Travelled another mile
| An hour of valuable time was lost in finding
a horse. Finally teamster was found who
| gave up his broncho, and on the swift
footed animal the messenger started on the
return journey at 12 80 o'clock. But two
| hours and forty minutes remained to reach
Cotopaxi, aud the boy left with the deter
miuation to reach the station on time or
kill the horse. The return ride was mostly
down bill, and again the messenger flew
through West Cliff, waking the people from
their slumbcrs. The last eight miles Of the
road lies In a steep gulch. Down this the
bronco went at full gait, and the boy knew
| he would be on time.
At ten minutes after 8 O'Clock inquiries
came from the Republican Office for news
of the messenger. The operator ali the
time had kept up a lonely watch waiting
| for the messengers return. He answered
back that all was quiet and nothing TO tell
of TIE boys progress. Another minute
| passed, and the instrument clicked back the
answer that there was nothing new. The
minutes were counted Off, and each time
the same report was wired back. The
hands on the clock pointed 3:15, and the
| operator said: 81 hear him coming" 1t
was true, and the suspense was over, and
Representative Townsend's denial of the
forgery was given TO the people next
morning before the votes were cast that

Dr. Matthews, who was young and fond
OF company, found IL especially hard to
live IN 1t, one reason being that there was
no female society at the post except two or
three squaws aud half-breeds. wives of
laborers employed by the company He
often complained at this shortcoming, but

Mr.. Kirkby had daughter at school in
England, and ons summer he resolved 10 go
abroad TO see her and enjoy q little civiiixa-
ton. There was TO be an extra ship to
York Factory in the fall, though he did not
intend to return on il, but as he was en-
barking he turned to DIR. Matthews, who
was in gloom at the prospect of losing a
friend when he had 50 few to spare, aud
said: doctor. can send anything back to
you from England"
Nothing you send me your
daughter, replied the young man, half rue
fully and half in banter.
The clergyman smiled, shook his hand
and went aboard; lines were cast Off, good
bys were shouted and the ship headed for
England, while the doctor turned back with
O sigh.
The arrival of ship is great event at
York Factory, and when, oue bright day in
autumn, sail was described to the north
eastward, the whole population OF the place
helped it in by sitting on the shore and
looking at 10. DIR. Matthews was there, and

words for him that she felt as If she had

Sixty Miles at Breskneck Speed in the
Interest of Congressman Townsend.
From the Cleveland Leader.
Congressman Hosea Townsend Of Colo
RADIO is in the city visiting his brother-in-
law, J. Fl. Bradner. Mr.. Townsend was
reelected to congress on Nov. 4. There
were two republican tickets In the field in
Colorado for county Offices and members of
toe legislature, but both factions were
friendly to Mr.. Townsend for congress. One
faction was run by the editor Of the Denver
Times and the other by the edlDor OF the
Denver Republican, both republican paN
pers. The night before election the Times
came out with a letter claiming to be
signed by MIR. Townsend. in which he
agreed to back the Times crowd as against
the others. Great excitement prevailed In
Denver and Mr.. Townsend would dou BITS
less have been defeated had the letter gone
without denial.
The congressman resided at Silver Cliff,
100 miles from Denver, and thirty miles
from railroad or telegraph Office. A mes
sage must be sent to him and an answer re
turned in time for tho next issae Of the
Denver Republican. 1t was o'clock that
evening before the operator at Cotopaxi, q
small station on the Denver and Rio Grande
railway, received his message from the
Republican Office. Mr. Townsend was at
his home in Silver Cliff, thirty miles away.
IL was long way OF, and the road was
rough, and up hll aud down. The answer
must be ia By 3 80 o'clock In the morning
or 10 would be too late for publication.
The telegraph operator started out %

had refused 10 undertake ths daring ride he
