LEGATION, but he has never had the pleasure
of seeing his production in print. Finally
he went north, and, getting hard up, called
on the editor, who would neither return
his manuscript nor garantee him day of
publication. He repaired to his hotel and
wrote the editor a threatening letter. in
which he mentioned pistols and coffee etc
Shortly after he was arrested and taken to
the station house. where he remained all
night. The next morning he sent the fol-
lowing message to the editor:

The eritor was unmoved by this appeal and

JAPANS GREAT ENTELPRIsE II
AMERICA.
LARGE APPROPRIATION BY I'M
PERlAL DIET.
TO INFORM AMERICANS now TO
MAKE TEA.

Several months ago, the Japanese
Tea Guild sent to this country a special
commission, composed OF Mr.. s. Nit
suhashi, president OF Shizuoka Prefec-
tural Assembly. and Mr.. ]. Ohara, mem
Der OF japanese parliament, to investi-
gate the condition of the Japanese tea
trade in the United States and Canada.
and to cooperate with Mr.. T. Furuya
and Mir. t. Mizutany. the American
representatives of the japanese Tea
Guild. in giving publicity to the merits
OF Japanese teas and the method Of
preparing them for drinking which
would insure the best results.
Mr.. Furuya and Mr. Mizutany are
planning to open tea bazars in many of
the principal cities in the United
States and Canada. where ladies' can
enjoy cup of fine Japanese tea made
by experts, and at the same time re-
ceive instructions which will enable
them to make it equally well at home.
More than half the tea consumed in
the United States and Canada is of
Japanese growth, yet. the majority of
Americans apparently do not under
stand how to prepare it so as to de-
velop the delicious qualities which it
contains. 1t is believed by these gem
tlemen that when Americans are in
possession of the secret of making good
tea, the consumption in this country
will fully equal that of Europe in pro-
portion. The Japanese government
has appropriated a large fund to aid
the Japanese tea growers and tea mer-
chants in prosecuting this educational
work, and 1t is hoped that American
ladies will be apt students. The main
bureau of the japanese Tea Guild has
issued an official recipe for m king Jap
anese tea. the translation of which is
as follows:
First-Use small dry and thorough
ly clean porcelain teapot.
Second-Put in one teaspoonful Of
tea leaves for each cup of tea desired
Third-When using Japanese teas,
pour on the required quantity of fresh
boiled water, and let stand with closed
lid from to minutes. Never boil
the leaves. In order to retain the nat
ural flavor. Japanese tea leaves should
be kept in tight can or jar. free from
moisture.
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the nat
ural, delicate. and sweet favor of Jap
anese teas, neither sugar nor cream
should be used.

How He Tackled His Bike with Confidence
and Left 1t in Confusion-what IT did

Robert Burdette, the famous humor-

morist is very much alive. although
somewhat worsted by his experience

Her charming lips did curl
