He Rose Rapidly.

In speaking of the late Ballard Smith
the Louisville Courier-Journal says
that when he first sought position in
a newspaper Office after graduating
from Dartmouth college he entered the
sanctum with an air Of condescension.
He wore silk tile and velvet jacket.
He said he would like to be dramatic
editor. but he was given a place on the
local staff. In less than six months he
was made city editor. After that his
rise in journalism was rapid.

JAPAN IN SEARCH OF IDEAS.
travelling Commission Is Studying
Architecture In the West.

travelling Commission Is Studying
Architecture In the West.
Japan's efforts toward western civil
lization and methods take new de-
parture every day, says the London
Daily Mail. The latest venture Of the
enterprising authorities of the Flowery
Land is in the direction of architec-
ture, a matter in which up to the pres
ent Japan has been particularly con-
sentative.
It will be remembered that Crown
Prince Yoshihito was married a short
time ago amid universal rejoicing It
had been found that there is no place
sufficiently magnificent to accommo-
date the royal couple, and it has there
fore been decided to build near Tokyo
a dwelling which shall rival in splen-
dor anything existing in the east and
possibly even surpass the royal pal
aces of Europe and the magnificent
structures of AMERICA.
To achieve this object it was neces-
sary that Japan's architects should see
some of the buildings of the west, and
accordingly Professor Toro Iwamura
and Mr. Sano, the former member of
the Tokyo Academy of Fine Arts and
the latter an architect In the employ
of the Japanese government, have
started on tour with this purpose in
view. After visiting various cities in
the United States and Canada they
have arrived at Toronto, where the
public buildings were the object of
their particular attention. 1t Is ex-
pected that they will go to Europe.
