the poor drunkard, who succeeded in
keeping for one night sober enough to
go to his death with the others.
Not only is their memory kept green
in this story, which everyone in Japan
knows by heart, but the grave of Ku-
rarosuke is one of the numerous ma
tional shrines to which pilgrimages are
made. Even the emperor himself, about
20 years ago, caused distinguished Of
fetal honor to be paid to the grave of
Kurarousuke, to stamp his patient
fidelity with the mark Of government
approval.
All of which shows that while the
Japanese are very different from other
people in their way of looking at
things. they believe what they do be-
lieve, and honor what they hold worthy
of honor, as heartily as any people in
the world.

and he was a pretty low-down fellow,
so that First Companion" feared that
"RedHedge" might have been drunk
the night before and have been left out
of the attack.
But no! At the head of the third di-
vision of the captured Ronins marched
"Red-Hedge," very proud in his armor.
Seeing the servant kneeling in the
snow, "Red-Hedge" gave him mes
sages and threw him the pennon of his
lance for a memento.
Then "First Companion" turned to
the lockers on and cried: Look at
himl Gentlemen, that is Sir Red
Hedge, the brother of my master. He
is Romin by adoption only, but see
him to-day among the avengers!"
And in his delight the faithful old
servant hurried home, and kept as
relies not only the lance pennon, but
"Red-Hedge's hat and bottle.

certain size, lest they might be tempt
ed to go too far in them. Nowadays
there are fine Japanese steamers, but
at the time when the good stories grew
their theme in Japan was almost al
lways courage and devotion.
In the year 1901 the head of the Ronin
family, or clan--for this tale. like
Robinson Crusoe," is founded on
fact--was insulted by a superior Off
Ger and attacked him with a sword.
For this crime the chief Ronin was
condemned to Stay himself, that be-
bing the usual punishment in Japan.
= Also, it was decided that his castle and
property should be taken away and his
people driven off. Accordingly the
chief Ronin killed himself.
The new head of the Ronns was
named Kurarosuke. He is the national
popular hero of Japan. much like
Ethan Allen or Francis Marion in this
country 1t was Kurarosuke's duty to
avenge his masters death in some
way. So he called the clan together
to defend the castle against the sci

quite proper, according to japanese
ideas.
When they were all gathered to-
Gether Kurarosuke said: 1--WE have
pMot met to defend the castle, for that
would be useless. We should only in
the end be taken ana slain. Let us all
Islay ourselves after the old japanese
manner, and thus die with our beloved
master"
To this SO of the Ronins agreed, but
the rest went away shaking their
heads.
The cunning Kurarosuke, however,
had no notion Of killing himself. When
the 03 were all together he was sure
I they, at least, would not reveal his Sc
lcret, and he said to them: 1--WE shall
neither defend the castle, which would
be useless, nor kill ourselves, which
would be no better. But we shall be
patient, and wait, wait, wait, until we
can kill the man whose insult caused
our masters DEATH" Then he explained

According to japanese ideas, what
they endured was worse even than sui

of trying to avenge the insult they
wandered about and became mere vaga-

Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs Of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as a money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned Judge, skilled
lawyer, or court of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter Justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and a
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts,
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessful scheme to corner the wealth
of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a news
paper which the combined power of
money has failed to muzzle or buy.
The Weekly Enquirer is only Toe

Elaborate Application of the Slot Ma

One Of the most elaborate applica-
tions of the "penny-in-the-slot" idea
is to be seen in a Berlin restaurant.
This is a handsomely fitted up estab-
lishment, supplying severalRrticles of
food and various drinks at counters
running about the sides of the room,
and serving everything automatically
when the proper coins-which are
plainly indicated for each article
are deposited. The articles of food
are seen in plates behind glass panels.
The depositing of the coin causes
the plate to be lowered to the counter,
within reach of the customer, while
another plate moves forward into po-
sition for the next conner. Any drink
selected is similarly supplied. A glass
being first taken from a peg, rinsed
in pit of water, and placed under the
tap, which automatically measures
out just glassful.
The visitor finds the place clearly
aAd attractive, with every facility for
helping himself, and tables at which
he may stand or sit while eating.
