Japan Ia going ahead. Its first big
swindle is really very creditable piece
OF roguery for such a young nation. Mr..
Hamano, the member of the diet and
pastor Of the Greek church at Tokyo,
who Is also president of the Japan Cas-,
Iron company. belongs to politico-re.
ligious type already familiar in the older
haunts Of commercial morality. The
municipality Of Tokyo had decided to
undertake a waterworks system, and had
obtained subsidy from the government
of 10, 900. 600 yen in aid of the total es.
innate Of 100000 In a patriotic mo-
ment some Of this outlay Of japanese
money on water pipes was kept for the
Japan Cast Iron company. but the result
has only been to artificialIy foster for
eign rather than home industries.
Bya most ingenious device about 500
tons OF defective pipes were laid after
they had been rejected by the clerk of
the works, and the Tokyo citizens, it ID
estimated, thereby suffer loss Of about
1000. 900 yen.
The officials Of the company are now
awaiting trial-which apparently does
not prevent the newspapers in Japan
from assuming their guilt St James
Gazette.

The Woman Landlord.

Women make very good landlords,
but beware Of the oman who owns on.
iy one house. She regards it as the ap.
pie Of her eye. She lives near to keep il
under surveillance. Whether she goes
out on an errand or takes her constitu.
tional. her steps lead by her house. Al
o glance abe can tell the condition OF
the shutters, the front door and the area.
Her accustomed eye knows every scratch
and she Is prepared to resist to the ut
most any proposition to renew the shut
tiers or to paint the front door.
She regards her tenant as her natura
enemy, and cannot understand why sh'
may not enter her own property when
ever she has mind.
But she is cheerfully prompt ON rem
day; too prompt, for she does not tax,
delay with grace. When a woman has ,
second house, say the agents, her char
acter is ameliorated. And as her knowl
edge of affairs broadens she does not diff
fer materially from other landlords. -

There is o man in Buena Park who

there was no response. and putting the
