INSIDE JAPAN.
Visit Fishts Preface Death Struggles - No
wife.Beating.

In spite of qualities of easily aroused
antagonism, of pride and Spartan
ideals, the Japanese are an essentially
gentle race-more SO than the Anglo
Saxons. Broils in which one man hits
another are of rare occurrence; blows
are generally the preface of death
struggle. The women may often suf-
fer from the prevailing ideals OF mo-
rality. which are yet much lower than
ours. but there are few wife-beaters,
and the home atmosphere is almost al
ways outwardly peaceful 1t follows
that a little true poltieness on the part
of the foreigner goes long way, ana
almost invariably meets with a warm
recognition; you rarely appeal to the
japanese in vain. They are as quick
to respond to an.act of real kindness
as they are to resent an act which has
a tinge of arrogance. Our Government
allowed several transports with re-
turning volunteers to stop at Yoke
hama, and so hundreds of American
soldiers visited that city and Toxic.
One of them hired a bicycle and was
taking a ride about the streets of Yo-
koIama when he ran down an elderly
JaIanese man. The soldiers rang his
belt several times, but the Japanese
apparently paid no attention to it. and
the American found himself promptly
arrested and taken to court, where he
was fined ten "yen" $50. He protested
that he had done everything possible
to avert the accident. and asked why
the man made not attempt to get out
of the way. The policeman then told
him that the man was blind. The sol
der looked dazed for minute, then
felt in his pocket and brought out
ten-dollar bill. Here" he said, ITS
the last I've got. but he can have 1t,
and he turned it over to the blind man.
The Japanese were deeply touched
and that same day delegation OF po-
licemen hunted up the soldier and gave
him back his fine.-Anna n. BenJa-
min, in Ainslee's.

American Ways in Jamaica.

When you arrive at your hotel in
Kingston, Jamaica-and here it may
be remarked that the town contains
but one hotel worthy of the name-you
are at once made aware that the es-
tablishment is conducted ION the
American plan," says correspondent
in the London Daily Mail. The guide
book says so, and the inevitable iced
water confirms the statement. Out
side, on Harbor street, the fine sys-
tenn of electric trans makes you as an
Englishman blush to the hat brim. Call
''bus"-it is buggy of the American
pattern-and drive to the railway sta
ton, and once more the handiwork
and enterprise of the Americans are in
evidence, for the engine is of United
States design and the cars are of the
same make. One is, therefore, not sur
prised to learn that an American start
ed the railway business in Jamaica
and eventually sold out at handsome
figure to the government of the colony.

ward over the sand they fired rapidly,
the shower of lead blowing in the
cotton bales.
Just then a bullet tore the revolver
from Quin's grasp. and bis numbed
singing hand dropped to his side. An
instant later Darrell elutched at his
chest, rolled over Imply, and lay quite
still. That the poor fellow was dead
Quin did not doubt. He had no more
cartridges, but there was no time to
reload.
II must try to escape" he decided.
''It's the only chance of saving the
money, and my life as WE'LL"
As he turned and fed, bending low,
he was seen. A couple of bullets
whizzed by him. He gained the box
by a rapid movement. unbolted the
heavy wooden door and threw it open,
and then dashed on to the wagon.
Looking back from behind this shelter
he saw the liberated puma make
flying leap that landed 1t on the breast
of the foremost of the three despera-
does. who had sprung over the barri-
cade in chase of the fugitive. With
screams of rage and terror--a chorus
to turn ones blood Goldman and
beast fell together on the sand. The
formers companions drew back in
panic. making no effort to help MIN.
This was Quin's opportunity. He
left the stony bed of the river, mount
ed to the mouth of the gorge, ana
quickly discovered what he sought
four horses tethered at the base OF
the cliff.
Three of them he was compelled TO
abandon, as he had no knife with
which to sever the lariats. BY the
time he had united the one, and
swung into the saddle, his enemies
were dangerously near. He rode at
a gallop up the narrow defile. and at
intervals, as he spurred on, he heard
the Gathering sounds of pursuit far
in his rear. But these presently faded
away. and unbroken silence reigned
around him.
1t was o'clock in the morning
when Quin reused the sleeping inhabi-
tants of Peak City to listen to his
thrilling story. He put Kenwood's
money in safe hands, and was soon
escorting party of armed and mount
ed men back to the scene of the fight.
They found Darrell alive, but I'M
conscious, with a bullet through his
chest. The puma was dead, stabbed
to the heart with knife, and close
by was the torn and mangled body OF
Black Barton-for he was promptly
identified as that much-wanted indi-
viduaL After inflicting the fatal
thrust of the enraged animal, he had
himself succumbed from loss of blood.
Face downward on the pebbles at the
edge of the island lay the ruffian who
had fallen at the first volley. The two
remaining highwaymen had evidently
not returned to learn the fate of their
leader, and they must have wasted no
time in getting out of the Territory,
as they were never apprehended.
1t may be said in conclusion that
one of Kenwood's ranchmen, who dis.
appeared soon after the tragedy, was
strongly suspected of having informed
the bandits that Quin was taking the
bag of money to Peak City.-New
York Evening Sun.

The Biggest Watermelon.

Here is the record breaking water
melon of the United States. 1t was
raised last season in Colorado, in the
Rocky Ford region, on the farm of for
mer State Senator Ewenk. 1t is near
ly five feet in length, three feet in cir
conference, and it weighs 1856 pounds.
The melon was the giant of a large
patch grown for the market. The soil
in the Rocky Ford Valley is naturally
adapted to the prolific growth of the
melon. and when aided by some special
fertilizing agent to productiveness is
considerably increased, thereby yield
ing astonishing results.
One of the great occasions of the
wear in Rock Ford is the annual water
melon day. This occurs in the height
of the watermelon season, and is at
tended by hundreds Of cultivators. AT

Remarkable Power.

A dear old lady was taken one day
to a musical service in Boston
church. She had heard much about
the fine voice of the soprano and was
prepared for a treat.
She sat in rapt enjoyment until the
service was over, and then turned a
radiant face toward her escort, who
was young grandson.
Dear boy" she said, you've given
me a great treat. Her voice is per-
fectly beautiful. 1t made cold chills
run all up and down my spine"
its too bad, grandmamma," said
the boy, 'but she didn't sing to-day.
though she was there. The gentleman
next me says she's been suffering from
q bad cold, and one of the chorus had
to sing the solos for her."
"What, dear?" said the old lady,
looking momentarily distressed. Then
her face cleared, and she patted his
arm reassuringly.
'Never you mind" she said. eve
can come again some time; but after
all, if she can make me feel that way
without singing, l don't know as
'twould be wise for me to hear her,
now would it?"-Youth's Companion.

-NanoIaon,s Human Checkers.

Lord Rosebery's fascinating ma
poleon: The Last Phase" furnishes
the text for an editorial in the Gen.
fury Magazine.
A part of Napoleon's misunderstand-
ing of human nature was his mlsun-
derstanding of the national spirlt-as
professor Sloane expresses 1t. ms
contempt for nationality" On this
subject there is an interesting pas
sage in Lord Rosebery's book:
"Whom God wishes to destroy. says
the adage, he first deprives OF sanity.
And so we see Napoleon. with incred-
iblc self-delusion. want of insight, or
both. preparing his own destruction
by dealing with men as if they were
checkers. and moving them about the
board according to his own momentary
whim, without thought of their pas
sinns or character of traditions: IN
word, by ignoring human nature.
All this cutting and carving Ma
poleon did without the slightest re-
gard for "the evaporation of the
transferred souls" Moreover. by his
mania for moving boundaries and
shifting realms. he created a feeling
of impermanencc and insecurity. He
never seems to have given thought
to the storm of studying hatred. ran
cor, and revenge that was channg
and raging below"
Lord Roscbery thinks 1t only fair
to add" that the congress of his enc
mics at Vienna proceeded. with fiat
tcring imitation. ON the same princl-
pies as to cutting and carving.
Looking out upon the world as It
now is, one cannot help asking. with
ahudder, whether. aside from ali ques-
inns of original right and wrong, the
mistake of Napoleon. repeated IN
/ some measure by the Allies. is one
| altogether avoided in our time by the
| very nations that believe themselves
| the most civilized, the most enlight-
ened, the most free. Answer: China

End Of tho Year;
Our Coast and Geodetic survey has
hade plans for charting the harbors
and coast Of the Philippine islands. A
while ago the survey established an
Office at Manila In charge OF Mr.. u.
r. Putnam, who is now engaged with
a number Of assistants preparing for
the surveys of the season. It.is ex-
pected that active work will begin soon
and that sufficient data will be collect
ed before the close Of the year to make
it practicable to publish charts OF al,
the larger harbors among the islands.
The work, however, will not be con-
fined to the most important ports. but
MANY of the minor harbors that serve
as points of distribution for the inter-
island trade will also be charted. There
is at present little map material thai
Is of any service in the navigation OF
these minor ports, though they play
an important part in the commerce CT
the Philippines. In the absence O.
railroads and good highways these lit
tie ports are the collecting points Tor
the products Of all the surrounding
country which small vessels carry 70
the larger ports for shipment to for
eign purchasers. A considerable num-
Der of these small harbors, for exam
pie. are known as "the hemp ports,
because they arc the collecting and
shipping points for this unique ar
tiele Of Philippine commerce. AS ap-
proaches to these harbors are little
known the work of the Coast and Ge-
odetic survey will be OF great useful
ness to navigation and commerce; II
will also supply important information
needed for our better acquaintance

APPRECIATED EFFORT.

1t is very gratifying to the man
agement of THE TRIBUNE to hear
so many words of praise and com
mendation from the people of
Florence for the manner in which
we have kept them informed of
the thrilling events of the past ten
days, From the time The TRIBUNE
bulletin first announced the shoot
ing of the president until this
time the public kept an ever
watchful eye upon THE TRIBUNE
office for each succeeding message.
During all that week of hope Gnd
fear the people of Florence had no
other source from which to expect
news fresh from the wires, as The
TRIBUNE is the only paper in the
city thoroughly up to date, and in
touch with the telegraphic news of
the whole world. Not only did
this special effort show enterprise
on the part of THE TRIBUNE, but
it was a matter of heavy expense,
for besides our regular service we
received the Scripps-McRa bulle-
tins These we're of no pecuniary
benefit to THE TRIBUNE but they
very very satisfactory to THE
TRIBUNE's friends, and that is why
we secured the extra service.
And now we are glad to know
that our efforts are appreciated.
