And wave them to and fro.

With measured beat and slow.
He hammers everything in sight
Nor aught makes him rejoice,
Unless il be to listen to
The sound OF his own voice.
And he knocks the entire neighbor.

their daughters for immoral purposes
seems an irradicable custom, and
continues despite the new constitu-
ton. The courts have even ruled,
quite recently, against young women
who have prayed to be released from
such degrading bondage. The great
mistake, according to Mr.. Bergen, was
the failure of the treaty powers to
make proper investigation of the new
codes before signing the treaties.
Japan merely copied institutions or
gave high sounding civilized names to
innovations the scope of which not 1
per cent. of its people understood.
The emperor and few of his sup
porters, such as the Marquis Ito, may
earnestly wish to see the written laws
enforced and the new constitution up
held, but the vast majority of the
people do not understand them and
continue according to the old tradi-
lions.
In presenting these facts about
Japan Mr.. Bergen has performed
distinct service to Americans and
other foreigners. There has been
quite general impression that Japan,
under its new conditions, offered
peculiarly attractive field for invest
ment; that its people had taken readi-
ly to the changed order, and that
foreigners not only were wanted
there but that they would be warmly
welcomed. But Mr.. Bergen has given
another view of the case which will
cause intending investors to pause I'M
til the Japanese field has been more
thoroughly investigated. If the solemn
pledge of treaties has had no effect
upon the natives in general perhaps
a sharp brush with such a nation as
Russia might persuade the Japanese
that laws are made to be enforced,
that their immoral traditions and GUS
toms will not be tolerated and that
the rights of foreigners must be re-
spected.

How Mr.. DooIey Surprised kipIinu.

Mr.. Kipling was explaining a while
ago to an interested visitor from Amer
lea how quickness and intelligence of
observation, and a kind of instructive
insight, sometimes enables the foreign
er to know, in short time, more of
ones country than one does ones self.
He pointed the remark by a reference
to Mr.. Peter DUNES visit to Eng
land
During it, Mr.. Kipling met Mr..
Dunno, and the conversation by some
chance touched upon the London
bus conductor, and anecdote and OBJ
servation were exchanged.
Here was Dunno" declares Mr..
Kipling, Gin London for only a short
time, and already he knew the bus
driver-knew him, mind you, and he's
most curious type and most char
acteristic-knew him better than
most Londoners l have ever met
The tribute to Mr.. Dooley's" acu-
men and penetrating observation was
well deserved; how well deserved Mr..
klpling does not know. Mr.. Dunno
does know the London bus driver.
But If any one in Chicago will catch
Mr.. Dunno during moment of leisure
and ask him how many times he rode
on top of an omnibus, Mr.. Dunno will
be forced to admit that it was lust
once.-Saturday Evening Post.

When Tracts Were Trumns.
