Political Training In Japan.

Japan has had, for nearly 4 dozen
years a systematic local selfgoyerEnent-
No father, with manuel Of pedagogicS
in his hand. could have begun more
scientifically upon the Development Of
his child's powers than did this Govern
ment upon It's subjects In every Provin-
cial capital row You viii see large stue-
coed building, rooted with while-5order-
ed tiles, where for decade or more the
peoples representatives have debated and
harangued to-their hearts content over
schools, police, irrigation, and ali the va
rious local interests In the smaller
towns you will find district assemblies
where in fhe same way the people settle
their own :aGairs oy deliberation and
vote.
The same rule obtains to-day in japan
as in our own country, that usually there
must be an apprenticeship for those who
wish to rise in politics. Beginning with
the ward or village assembly, a man who
shows capacity is sent to the provincial
Assembly. Here, if his talent is Of the
political sort, he may rise to become a
provincial senator or president Of the
Assembly. Until last year this was his
highest reward but now Parliament
itself has become another step in the
ladder. It is the legitimate reward Of
experience and good service in local poll
tics. As matter Of fact, lS4 out Of 100
members Of the Lower House have been
members Of Provincial Assemblies, and,
out OF these, 2s have been Presidents, and
y Vice-Presidents A much greater
number must have held seats in the dis
trict Assemblies. OF the remainder As
more have seen service as officials in Pro-
vinciaI Bueeaus, and 20 more n the CEN
trail Government Department.
You realize, then, as you look down
from the gallery of the house on this va
ried mass Of faces, with a physiognomy
so difficult for the Occidental 20 interpret,
that by far the greater number Of then

The Faithful Friends.

When Abdallah had reached good
old age he called his sons to his side, and
told them that he had acquired fortune
by industry and economy and would give
them one hundred gold pieces each be-
fore his death, so that they might begin
business for themselves. 1t happened,
however, tiat soon after he lost por-
tion of his property, and had only nine
hundred and fifty gold pieces left. So
he gave one hundred to each of his nine
sons. When his youngest son, whom
he loved most Of all, asked what was to
be his share he replied:
MY son, l promised to give each of
thy brothers one hundred gold pieces.
have fifty left. Thirty l will reserve for
my funeral expenses, and twenty will be
thy portion. possess, in addition, ten
friends whom give over TO thee as COM
pensation for thy loss of the eighty gold
pieces; and they are worth more than
all the gold and silver"
The man died in a few days, and the
nine sons took their money, and, with
out thought of their youngest brother,
followed each his own fancy. But the
youngest son, although his portion was
the least, resolved to heed his fathers
words, and hold fast to the ten friends.
So, after while, he prepared a modest
feast, went 10 the ten friends of mis-
father, and said to them:
any father asked me to keep you, his
friends, in honor. Before leave this
place 10 seek my fortune elsewhere, will
you not share with me farewell meal ?''
The ten friends accepted his invitation
with pleasure, and enjoyed the repast
and when the hour FOR parting arrived,
one Of them rose and spoke:
my friends, it seems to me that of al
the sons of our dear friend that has gone
the youngest alone is mindful of his
fathers friendship for US. Let US, then,
be true friends, and provide for him a
generous sum that be may begin business
here"
The proposal was received with ap-
plause. The youth was proud of their
friendship, and soon became a prosper
Gus merchant, who never forgot that
faithful friends were more valuable than
gold or silver, and who lett an honored
name to his descendants.-HarpeFs Young

Fritz, can scare him away Furnish

90 to your rest, Barbara You shall find
me az the post in the morning"
Barbara did as required, and saw the
tanner step blithely away to his task. 1t
was then nearly u o'clock, and she went
20 her own chamber.
Barney was sitting at his vigil, and so
far all had been well.
The face in the coffin cleaned whittier
through the darkness. The rats squeak
ed as if famine were upon them and
they smell of dead flesh. The thought
made him shudder. He got up and walk
ed about, but something made slight
noise, is if somebody was behind him.
and he put his chair with its back against
the wall, and sat down again. He had
been hard at work all day, and at last, in
spite of everything, he grew sleepy. FL
nally he nodded and snored.
Suddenly it seemed as if somebody had
touched him. Heawoke with a start, but
saw nobody near, though in the centre of
the room stood white figure.
Curse you, get out oft his.r he ex-
claimed in fright, using the first words
that came to his tongue.
The figure held up its right arm and
slowly approached him. He started to
his feet. The specter came nearer, press
ing him into the corner.
The ID take you p cried Barney, in
his extremity.
Involuntarily he stepped back still the
figure advanced, coming nearer and near
or, and extending both arms, as if to
take him in a ghostly embrace. The
hair started up on Barney's head he
grew desperate, and just as the cleaning
arms would have touched him he fell
upon the ghost like whirlwind, tearing
off the sheet, humping, pounding, beat
ing and kicking, more and more enraged
at the resistance he met, which told him
the truth.
As the reader knows he was big and
/ Fritz was little, and while he was pun
melting the little tanner numerically and
Fritz was trying in vain to get a lunge at
Barney's stomach, to take the wind out
of him, both plunging and kicking like
horses, they were petriied at hearing a
voice cry:
Take one of your size, Big Barney~
Looking around they saw the corpse
sitting up in his coffin. This was too
much. They released each other and
sprang for the door. They never knew
how they got out, but they ran home in
hot haste, painting like stags-
1t was Barbara herself who came and
opened the door upon Ernest the next
morning.
"Its very early one more little NAP"
said he, turning over in the coffin.
So she married him, and though she
sent Fritz and Barney invitations to the
wedding they did not appear. If they
discovered the trick they kept the knowl-
edge to themselves, and never willingly
faced Barbara's laughing eyes again

Delegates Meet in Annual Convention at
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Showing.
BIRMINGHAM Ala. Dec. 14.-The eleventh
annual national convention of the fedora
tion OF labor convened this morning, being
called to order by President Gompers
About $50 delegates are present from all
parts of the United States and Canada,
President Gompers in calling the fedora
tlon to order. said he would reserve the de-
livery of his annual address until to-mor-
row. He then delivered brief address of
welcome: The growth of the organization
during the past year, he said, had been phe-
nomelal and the Delegates before him fcp-
resented more than three quarters of mil
lion of organized labofers.
Gompers. in conclusion, said much yet
remained to be done and combinations
against labor can only be successfully
coped with by the compact and thorough
ganization of wage-workers "The per-
petuity of the institutions of our country,
the freedom of our citizens, the burdens
upon our sisters, the cry of children for re-
lief. demand that we labor with all our
power to relieve ourselves from great
wrongs by which we are surrounded" At
the conclusion of the presidents address
the convention went into executive session.
General Secretary Evans, in presenting his
annual report, said that while the trades
union movement is doing noble work in the
line of reform they are not making as rapid
progress as they should, and renewed efforts
were urged. The report showed that dur
ing the term ended Oct. 81, 246 charters
had been issued to unions in thirty states
Charters had also been granted to ten ma
tional unions, making a total of 256 during
the year. The receipts of the year were
$21 ,344 and expenditures S13 l99, leaving q
balance of $S.l58. The statement was rem
dered notable by showing that the total
outlay for salaries account of an organiza-
tion with hundreds of branches and a men,
