Athletics and gymnastics form an
important part In school life In Japan
In the large Fairgrounds attached to
every school the children are drilled,
boys and girls forming squares, march
ing and countermarching. The atten-
ton given BY the japanese to prov vlding
the children proper accommodation for
outdoor exercise. both in wet and dry
weather. Is worthy of imitation. 1t Is
a pretty picture to see between 100 and

buildings, which are two stories high
and painted, and the native houses Is

KING OF PICKPOckETS
Police So Dub Fred H., Who Has just
Died in LOndon.e

Died in London.
Fred H., king Of pickpockets, has
just passed away in London. says the
New York Sun. Like his predecessor,
Fred ii. was well known on the turf
both in England and in France. and
whenever a turfman's pochetbook was
captured by any Of his Tajesty's out
posts an audience with the monarch
was all that was necessary to secure
its prompt return to the lawful owner.
People not connected with the turf
We're less fortunate.
One day Fred made a bet that he
would pick the pocket Of the Prince Of
Wales The thing seemed to be abso-
lutely impossible, because many of the
Princes friends knew Fred very well
and the difficulty of getting close
enough to him to capture his pocket
book was insurmountable.
But 1t was a simple matter for the
king. He picked the Princes pocket
and won his bet. The ties Of royalty
are great and strong. The king re-
turned the pocketbook to the Prince.
and the latter, Of course, could not
think Of prosecuting king. He laugh
ed at the joke and complimented Fred
on his skill as a pickpocket.
1t was ambition that ruined Fred.
He wanted to perform an exploit in the
pocket-picking line that would eclipse
all his previous performances. He de-
termined to relieve Baron Hirsch OF
the burden Of his heavily loaded purse.
He approa ched the philanthropist IN
his usual courtly way. but unfortun-
ateIy for the king the baron recognized
him Immediately.
My dear Fred" said he, you have
come too late. have just lost all my
money on the favorlte. Be good
enough to honor me with your atten-
ton another day. and be sure to come
before the race"
Fred saluted with great dignity and
departed, and after that began to go
down hill. He soon after abdicated
and lived a retired life in little house
In one of the suburbs Of London. His
star had set.
Many cuSiosity-seekers attended the
funeral of Fred, and upon feeling for
their money and jewelry after return
ing home discovered that they had in
fact been at pickpocket's funeral.
Professional fingers had been set work
ing in honor of the dead.
modern Dick Turpin. Fred was
good d-natured, fond Of children, and
generous with the money Of other peo-
pie. His bank account was never
overdrawn, and he never had any hesi-
tation about helping poor fellow ont.
A few shillings or a few pounds to him
amounted to nothing. There were al
ways plenty of available pocketboobs 8
to call upon whenever he was short.
