tinct. Hence there are many natives or
Japan who believe that there Is posi-
bllity that one remaining SPECIMEN Of
the demon may be dSscoyexxd an some
remote place where 1t has been conceal
ed for many years.
Therefore, the skeleton, fabricated by
an Ingenious Japanese faker, aroused
great curiosity, and thousands Of Japan
csc fiocked tossee it. Its owner grew
rich, and his SPECIMEN might have con-
tinued to furnish evidence of the truth
Of some of the astonishing folklore tales
of the masses had not the fact that 1t
was n swindle been proved by the au-
thorities. AS 1t was, the excitement
over 1t was immense. Here is what the
Japan Weekly Mail says of it:
"A most ingenious swindler recently
met with well-merited punishment at
the hands Of the Mumamoto police au-
thorities, after having for more than
three months done roaring business
by imposing on the credulity of the
Kyusha people. He exhibited what he
was pleased to call the skeleton of Il
demon and has been convicted of most
daring duplicity and sent up for n long
term to n place where flesh and blood
demons are of not infrequent occur
renee.
His name is Michigami Kataro, his
native village Bingo, his real profession
that of paperhanger. Being dissatis-
fed with the profits derived from hon
est trade, he conceived the idea of man
ufacturing a demon of the good old
fashioned Shutendoji type. believing
with justice that he would make for
tune by exhibiting so rare and note
worthy an object. His professional skill
stood him in good stead in carrying out
this plan, the ingenuity displayed being
well worthy of n better scheme.
In manufacturing the huge skull he
used the cranial bones of horses and
oxen. These he joined together most
deity by covering them on the inner
side with skin taken from the stomach
OF an OK. Horse teeth inserted the
wrong way were placed in the demons
mouth, giving the skull most fero-
cious expression. Two horns remained
to be soldered on in strict accordance
with the received traditions of demons
in Japan. and here again the horns of
an OK were put in requisition.
'The thorough preparations being
complete. he set out on swindling tour
and earned n substantial sum by ex-
hibiting his handiwork.
But fate was lying in wait for him
at Kumamoto. The fraud was detect
ed, and the swindling three-the skcle-
ton. the document and the man-were
impounded andrimprisoned. The man
made clean breast of it, giving n
minute description of the manner in
which he had made the skeleton, to the
delight Of the Kumamoto police,

There Is an amusing story told Of a
boy who was hired as domestic and
told that he would be dismissed II he
broke any of the china that was under
his charge. On the morning of a great
dinner party he was entrusted trather
rashly) with great load Of plates,
which he was to carry upstairs from
the kitchen to the dining-room, and
which were piled up and rested on his
hands. In going upstairs his foot slip

room, put his head in at the door, and

A Little Catechism.

Did not the Democrats in 1892 promise
splendid prosperity If the Democratic
ticket was elected?
They did.
What did they preach?
They preached gospel of salvation.
They said: "Give us tariff reform and
your income will go twice as far. You
will be rich"
What happened?
No one had an income to purchase
with. Business firms failed because
there was no profit Mills closed because
there was no work. Democratic prom
Uses ended in disaster.
What are the Democrats promising
now?
The same old prosperity.
BY coming 53 cents worth of silver
and calling the coin one dollar.
How much is silver dollar worth
today? t,t,Ets 49,
Fifty-three cents.
But it passes for dollar?
1t does.
Why?
Because the government is pledged to
maintain it at par and has borrowed
more than 100000 in order to keep
it's faith.
Would it not be able to float 80 cents
for dollar under free coinage act!
Certainly not.
Why?
Because confidence i'm the govern
ment's ability to do so would he de-
stroyed and the government would not
be able to keep faith. Besides. the
free silverites do not propose that the
government shall keep faith. They think
we can go it alone. They care nothing
for the universal laws of supply and de-
mand. They have nothing to do with
the commercial laws which govern ev-
cry progressive nation of the earth.
Their sole demand is unlimited silver
50 cents worth of bullion coined into a
dollar, and that means, not bimetallism,
but pure silver basis.
Would this bring prosperity?
Most certainly not. The dollar would
be worth it's bullion value alone. just as
it is i'm Mexico. and the wngc-carncrs
and the clerks and all persons on salaries
would find their incomes cut in half
How, then. can we have prosperity?
BY keeping in touch with the civilized
world: by maintaining the credit Of the
government; by keeping every dollar al
ready issued whether silver or paper.
Mt a par with gold; by opening our mills
and developing enterprise" through
wise tariff system which will afford am
pie revenue.
Is there no other way?
Absolutely there Is no other way
