A Japanese Room.

A perfect Japanese room is feature
of one of New York's costly private
houses, and the history of its acquisi
tion is an illustration of the thorough
ness with which such plans are often
carried out by Americans Of wealth
The man in question wanted a Japanese
room. He could easily have bought
in New York Japanese furnishings
enough to I'll hundred rooms, but
that would not have satisfied him. He
was determined that there should not
be, even in the Mikado's realm itself,
more perfect apartment than the one
to be included, in his Fifth Avenue
house. To accomplish this purpose
he sent young artist to japan with
instructions to study the subject ex-
haustively, and with carte blanche for
the purchase of the necessary furnish
ings. The artist-happy man spent
several months in the Flowery King
dom. He lived in Japanese houses,
wore Japanese clothing, and studied
with might and main all the Japanese
rooms to which he could gain access.
Finally he returned in triumph, bring
ing almost priceless carvings, paint
inks, embroideries, and manifold other
things Japanesque, supplemented by
two native workmen, whose mission it
was to put all Of these things together
in the manner of Japan, not according
to the cabinet-makers and paper-hang-
ers of the Western Hemisphere. The
room cost small fortune, but it is
the pride Of the owner and the tri.
umph of the artist. Bn=nr.

Mighty bad Habit for Kentucky.

The manager of a life insurance
company had the floor.
Life insurance companies. he was
saying, ARE as particular about the
people they already have on their lists
as they are about getting them on in
the beginning. They are rich, Of
course, but they are no more anxious
to take in man who will die Of dis
ease within the first year or two than
they are to take in perfectly healthy
man and have him hazard his life by
taking personal risks in dangerous
pursuits or by travel in unhealthy
countries.
remember a funny instance that oc-
CURED once while was living in New
England. One Of our $40 900 men had
a way of calling man liar in the
most careless and indiscriminatc man
ner, and with only the merest or no
provocation. One day he was in our
Office and casually mentioned the fact
that he was going to make trip to
Kentucky.
When inquired the manager
alertly.'

'Cm-er.cr, hcsitated the manager,

No, l want to arrange about your
policy
What do you want to arrange
about it 1? Isn't it all right? @
Yes, as long as you stay in this
country. But if you go down to Ken
tucky we'll have to advance the rate
until you come back.
Well, what il -----,' began the
policy holder hotly, when the manager
interrupted him.
Don't fly the track, my dear fel-
low, he said gently. It's all right
here, and the rate is satisfactory to us
but, by Jove, We can't give you the
same rate and let you 60 to Kentucky
and call men liars like you do in this
section. Not much. We haven't got
$40, 900 policies to give away like that
and you oughtn't to expect it. :"

not single straggler among them, and
in not one instance was an attempt
made by any trooper to fall out in
order to assist the wounded or carry
back the dead, while so cool were they
and so perfect their fine discipline,
that in the entire engagement the ex-
penditure of ammunition was not over
ten rounds per man. Major Bell, who
commanded the squadron had his leg
broken by shot as he was leading
his men. Captain Wainwright sue
ceeded to the command Of the squad
ron. Captain Knox was shot in the
abdomen. He continued for some
time giving orders to his troops. and
refused to allow man in the firing
line to assist him to the rear. His
First Lieutenant, Bryan, was himself
shot, but continued to lead his men
until the wound and the heat over
came him and he fell in faint. The
advance vas pushed forward under
General Young eye with the utmost
energy, until the enemy's voices could
be heard in the entertainments. The
Spaniards kept up a very heavy firing,
but the regulars would not be denied,
and as they climbed the ridges the
Spaniards broke and fed.
The writer goes on to tell Of the
stirring part played in the battle by
the Rough Riders, and tells the story
of his command Of the regiment after
General Young was struck down with
the fever, and Wood was placed in
charge of the brigade.

dispositions, and plan of attack he
made. General Wheeler approved of
them, and -;th excellent judgment
left Gener Young a free hand to
fight his battle.
So, about eight clock Young began
the fight with his Hotchkiss guns, he
himself being up on the firing line.
No sooner had the Hotchkiss one
FOUNDERS opened than the Spaniards
opened fire in return, most of the
time firing by volley executed in per-
feet time, almost as on parade. They
had d couple Of light guns, which our
people thought were quick 6rers.
The denseness of the jungle and the
fact that they used absolutely smoke
less powder, made it exceedingly diff
cult to place exactly where they were,
and almost Immediately Young, who
always liked to get as close as possible
to his enemy, began to push his troops
forward. They were deployed on both
sides of the road in such thick jungle
that it was only here and there that
they could possibly see ahead, and
some confusion, of course, ensued,
the support gradually getting mixed
with the advance. Captain Beck took
A troop of the Tenth in on the left,
next Captain Galbraith's troop of the
First; two other troops Of the Tenth
were on the extreme right. Through
the jungle ran wire fences here and
there, and as the troops got to the
ridge they encountered precipitous
heights. They we're led most gal

followed their leaders with the splen-
