JAPANESE ARE VERY PATRIOTIC
Willing to Sacrifice Their Lives for
Their Country.

Thelr Country.
No people on earth are intense
ly patriotic than the Japanese soldiers
and sailors. According to their belief
the dead come back and tarry for q
hundred years with the living. "There
are no Japanese who do not return"
says a typical Japanese. 'There are
none who do not know the way. From
China and from Chosen, and from out
Of the bitter sea all u dead have
come back-all! They are with us
now. In every dusk they gather to
hear the bugles that called them home.
And they will hear them also in the
day when the armies Of the. son OF
heaven shall be summoned against
Russia" The influence of such be-
lief, fervently, SO passionately held up
on the national life is difficult to ex-
aggerate. 1t stimulates to self-sacri-
flee, and the fact that all the departed
great ones are held by every japanese
to be at his side nerves the soldier to
the utmost heroism, the statesman to
sink self and seek the nations inter-
ests. This is precisely the feeling
which, as Capt. Hoeing has pointed
out in his ''Untersuchungen uber die
Taktik der Zugunft," is needed in the
modern soldier. It is the ignorant
campaign waged by the missionaries
against this beautiful and not un-
Christian belief in the actual presence
of the dead on earth that has SO ham
pered their work. For Japan rightly
feels that the belief is one essential
to her national life and to her mill
tary efficiency"

The life Of Capt. William H. Doane,
who died here the other day. wal Pc
culiar in one respect. During his sea-
faring life Of sixty-six years, aside
from the time he spent on a South Sec
island. there were few days when he
felt solid ground beneath his feet, his
home being almost continuously anoat.
For forty years he served either in a
lighthouse or on a lightship for the
United States government. Thirty Of
these forty years he spent on the Hen
and Chicken lightship at the entrance
of Vineyard sound. He was 80 years
old, and first went IN a whaling voy-
age when he was IA. On his next voy-
age he became i'll. The captain. who,
like the skipper on all whalers, wa
also the ships doctor. was unable to
cure him, and it was decided to put
him ashore at Otaheite, one Of the So
ciety group. The chief who was asked
to look after him consented on con-
dition that the boy would become a
member of the tribe. The chiefs con-
ditions were agreed to, and young
Doane was taken ashore. He received
kind treatment from the natives, and
vas soo nursed back to health. When
he was strong enough to undergo the
ceremony he was received into the
tribe, the tribal mark being placed on
the back of his hand. He remained
with the tribe for many years. learn
ing the language and becoming one
of them in every way. He was finally
taken off the island by an English
brig and was landed on the South
American coast. As the quickest way
to get home he enlisted for service on
the United States frigate Constellation.
Commodore Clarney, which was on her
way to Chinese waters. This was dur
ing our first trouble with China. It
was four years after Doane reached
home, all of that time being spent on
the Constellation. The cruise in Chi
nese waters ended, he came to this
city, where he ever after made his
home. Soon after his return he again
decided on a whaling voyage, but when
three weeks out he fell. through an
open hatchway, breaking his left arm.
That ended his career as a whaler, and

had a match. They found the elevator
after a short search. 1t wasn't a large
elevator, but Mollie squeezed herself
in and sat like a quarter-opened jack

elevator and her elbows resting on her
knees. It wasn't comfortable. As the
machine reached the first floor a voice
startled them both. 1t seemed to come
from above them.

Tire. Kind. Of British Colonies.

Great Britain has three general
classes of colonies. Those controlled
entirely by the home government are
crown colonies, and their funds and
laws are managed by the administra-
ton, which does as it pleases. A sec
ond class has what is called represen-
tative government. In such the crow
retains the veto power and controls
the public officers. Those Of the third
class have responsible government. In
such colonies the crown has no con-
troll over any public officer except that
it appoints the governor and retains
its veto on legislation.
