But q scrapbook properly made is
great boom once knew an editor who
kept two scrapbooks One contained the
good things said about him by the press,
while the other held the mean remarks
Of q venial and sensational press. The
first scrapbook was made from vest
pocket memorandum book, while the
other was constructed from discarded
Cyclop@dia Britannica in xiv volumes.
But he had more real fun and free
dom as an editor than any man / ever
saw, and while accommodating those
xiv volumes of contumeiy he managed
to supply his contemporaries with sew
eral libraries Of mighty interesting read
ing for their own scrapbooks.
Yes a scrapbook and good COW
should enter every household at the very
start. What could give greater JOY to q
saddened and chastened wife, when the
clothesline fell in the mud with the
weeks wash, than to read in the ''canc-
furry" of home that with heart throb to
heart throb and side comb to watch
pocket che and Elias will hear the
sweetest harmonies and grandest SYM
phonies that ever trembled on the well
kept harp of humanity and that their
bosoms will be more or less thrilled
with those strains of affection till To-
phet becomes one solid glare Of ice?
Yes, indeed!
Or what could be sweeter in the COM
ing years, when life is gray, and the old
drake is dead in the well, and the cistern
pole is broken at the cistern, and ones
beard is faded with honest perspiration,
and great big green freckles on ones
ripe, red neck tell Of glorious summer
days in contact with stubborn nature or
of reaping rebellious oats up hill against
the grain? What, / say, can be sweeter
than scrapbook, smelling Of the sour
paste mayhap, yet glOrified and beauti-
fed by the liquid melody of the angel
oake editor where he intimates that this
same sweet Song she seems to hear as

sympoeiums and sunDiest beamings
and practically inexhaustible diapasons

comes from the sap that runs out of the

In BEHALF OF WICHART.
FRIENDS INTERCEDE FOR THE EN-
MOUNTED PATROLMAN.
Want n Sentence of Fine for Him-Pri-
son or Leaving Alternatives
Not Liked.

Prominent German residents
have taken up the case Of Carl
Wichart, and will endeavor to have
his punishment mitigated. Presi-
dent Dole will be appealed to. The
case will also be laid before Marshal
Hitchcock upon his return next
Tuesday. Wichart has the option
of going to Jail or leaving the
country. He does not wish to do
the former, and with friends objects
to the latter. What they do want
is fine. If such a sentence can
be given the money will be raised
at once.
Carl Wichart is a swarthy Ger
man, weighing about $50 pounds.
He was sailor on a merchant man
in port at the time OF the over
throw. At midnight of the 10th
he deserted and joined the force
under Klemme. Next he was in
one of the regular companies of the
n. G.. H. From that he became a
patrolman and has served in that
capacity since, or until Monday
afternoon of this week. Wichart is
one of the few of Klemme's follow
ers who has remained in police en-
ploy. He seems to stand well in
the estimation of the German col
ony and is liked by others.

TALE OF WAR AND LOVE,
DRAMA now BEING GIVEN AT
THE JAPANESE TuEATER.
Chock Full OF Action and Roma nce-It
Has IA Regular shakespearisn
Flavor and CLIMAX.

A drama is running at the Jap
anese theatre now. 1t is play
that would, to all appearances, fur.
nish 4 Gilbert or a Sullivan with {
few choice ideas. Actions are
strong, climaxes are well marked
and readings appear to be of a high
order.
The story is one of ancient times.
There is but one scene, and that is
the house of a nobleman. There
are about fifteen different characters
in the play. The principal is an
ancient ruler. After years of war
he is beaten and has to flee from
home, leaving his wife and little
daughter behind. In disguise he
wanders from place TO place and
finally finds refuge in the house of
the nobleman, where he hires as a
servant.
The nobleman has a beautiful
daughter, and she falls in love with
the new servant, who is both hand
some and possessed of rare intel
lect She sings for him, and he
discourses on many interesting
topics. One evening the beautiful
daughter is reclining i'll handsome
boulder, while her slave lover is
kneeling near by.
Suddenly, a noise is heard out
side. The young woman darts
behind a screen. The servant opens
the door. In walk his wife and
child. For many months the faith
full woman had wandered from
house to house seeking for her out
cast lord She recognizes him at
once and the meeting is touching.
But the beautiful daughter be-
hind the screen hears. Slowly the
true situation occurs to her and she
is heard to weep pitiously. AT
last she energies from her corner and
proceeds to berate her lover for de-
ceiving her. He arises and leads
his wife and child from the place.
The young lady has a brother
who is a bad character. He has
heard his sisters speech, and after
consultation with her, decides that
she has been wronged. So, sword
