Japan Up TO Date.

Japan is going ahead. Its first big
swindle Is really very creditable piece
Of roguery for such young nation. Mr..
Hamano, the member of the diet and
pastor Of the Greek church at Tokyo,
who is also president Of the Japan Cast
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 waterworks system, and had
obtained subsidy from the government
of $4,000. 900 yen in aid Of the total es
innate Of 50, 900, 900. In 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 artificially 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, 1t is
estimated, thereby suffer loss Of about
1000. 600 yen.
The officials Of the company are now
awaiting trial-wbich apparently does
not prevent the newspapers in Japan
from assuming their guilt. st. James

HIS VIGILANCE REWARDED
4he Story Of . Man Who Was Prepared
For Tootpads.

There is a man in Buena Park who
has always been afraid of being robbed
by footpads. A few weeks ago he decided
that he would prepare himself to defend
his property and person if attacked. So
be purchased revolver-not an ordi-
nary revolver, but long barreled one,
the sort the cowboys carry out west.
For several nights he carried the gun,
and the assurance with which he walked
no doubt frightened the footpads, for
they left him unmolested. He was
pleased with the sense of security he felt
from the humping Of this weapon
against his leg, and his fears were quiet
ed until one night not long ago.
The sidewalks were slippery, and he
was picking his way along toward his
home, when a man bumped against him.
The offender was profuse in his apollo
gies as he struggled to regain his foot
hold.

A moment later he felt for his watch,

him courage. He turned and started on
the run in the direction the man had
taken, and before he had gone block
overlook him. He grabbed him by the
collar with his left hand, and, sticking
the pistol In his face, commanded him
to give up the watch.
"All right, all right; don't shoot, {"
said the trembling man, as he handed
out a watch, and, breaking away, ran
down the street as fast as his legs would
carry him.
"I'll teach You footpads thing or
two" shouted the Buena Park man, hut
there was no response, and putting the
watch in his pocket he started toward
home. At each step he grew more and
more indignant at the state Of society
that permitted such criminals as pick

reached home he was very angry.

GENTLEMEN When | wrote you
the latter part of December, my
mother was, according to the honest
belief of three physicians, on her
deathbed; she could not retain either
food or medicine on her stomach, and
it did not seem reasonable to think
there was anything but death to re-
lieve her. The doctors informed us
she had a cancer in the lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
showed such vitality for a person to
be so near death we thought there
must be something to help her, and
reading of Others being saved by the
use of your S. 5. s., we thought it
would do no harm, il not some good,
to try it. so we informed her of her
condition, Just as the doctors had in
formed us, and left it with her to try
your remedy or not, as she saw fit.
She concluded to try it and from the
first dose or two, she began to brighten
up, and improve: she can now get up,
dress and help herself, and can eat
everything or anything she wants and
no distress from il. We all feel quite
hopeful that the cancer will pass away
in due time by the use of your s. 5. s.,
which she will now gladly take. You
may make this letter as public as you
choose, and the more so the better, as
too much praise can not be given your
valuable remedy.
Yours truly,
GEO. L. CRosaRovK.
