equal fascination. No one who has
been in the real Japan which lies out
side the treaty ports and the foreign
hotels and railways, ever could or
ever would forget his experience. No
one, If he could, would ever fail to
return. The great secret of this charm
lies with the people themselves. They
have made fine art of personal rela-
lions. Their acts are those Of good
taste and good humor. Two cities of
about the same size and relative i'm
portance are Paris and Tokyo. No
two could show a greater contrast in
spirit, says David Stan Jordan in HUI
manitarian. Both are, in a sense,
cities of pleasure. Tokyo is a city of
continuous joyousness, little pleasures
drawn from simple things. which leave
no sting and draw nothing from flu
ture happiness. Paris is feverish and
feels the difference in the morning
and the "hard, fierce lust and cruel
deed" which go with the search for
pleasure that draws on the future for
the joys of the present
No one who catches the spirit Of
Paris can fail to miss the underlying
sadness, the pity of it all. The spirit
of Tokyo-not of all Tokyo, but of its
life as whole-is as fresh as the song
of birds, as sweet as children's pratt
tie is" and it is good to be under its
spell.

THE HEAVENS ARE rALLINe.r

Ruth was the happiest, rosiest, cum
nfngest little girl in the world, and
she had dear papa and mamma and a
nice yard to play in. and she just loved
everybody and everything and had a
regular story book time all her life,
Just because she was SO happy. One
day 1t was so not she couldn't even
enjoy her nice play ground which was
arranged for her special amusement
Here were roses and violets and lady
shippers and Johnny-jump-ups and
ferns, and gneat swing that carried
you most to the tops of the trees, and
hammock, and fountain, and sand
pile with cart and bucket and shovel
Ruth tried the sand pile, but it was too
hot, and the gravel walk was dumpy-
but 1t was too hot. Ruth looked almost
unhappy, as near it as she could, then
she looked up at a dainty pink rose
swinging from its long stem, and while
hardly thinking, said: Il wish l was a
pretty soft rose. all pink and dewy,"
and do you know, this just happened
to be the longest summer day, when
the things that you wish come true, if
you only say them out loud. Most be-
fore the words were out of her mouth
Ruth found her little siippered feet
growing together and turning green
and getting covered with prickles just
like rose stems, then her hands and
arms made more branches, and moth
ing was left but her face and her pet
ticoats, way up in rose bush dancing
with the other blossoms, the sweetest
rose of all; and Ruth, she couldn't re-
member when she had been so happy.
All of sudden there was a great buzz
and bump, and horrible great big bee
came and sat right down on Ruth's
cheek. She tried to scream, but she
hadn't any voice, and she hadn't any
hands; what should she do? Just then
Ruth's mamma came down the garden
walk, with her rose shears in her hand,
and made straight for Ruth, and what
do you think Ruths mamma did?
After looking over all the other roses
she put her shears on Ruth and said:
81 will cut this for James. 1t is the
very prettiest of ALL" and then she cut
Ruth off just where her ankles were.
only it did not hurt one bit James"
was Ruth's papa. and mamma always
had rose at his place for him. Ruth
could think of nothing loyelier than to
be her papas rose. and when she
thought how astounded papa would be
to find his Ruth in his napkin she
laughed right out loud. That's my
dear little girl" her mother smiled at
her, bending her sweet face down to
Ruth's. Its almost time for papa to
come. We must get ready for dinner"
And the first thing Ruth knew she was
little girl again holding mammals
hand.
But the strangest thing of all, when
they went to dinner there Ruth was on
papa's napkin; she gave joyous little
cry and said, "Oh, papai See me!
Don't you like me for a rose on your
napkin?" Her papa said she was
dreaming, but mamma shook her head
at him, and Ruth and the fairies knew
better.

TALE OF THREE BEARS.

But for the energetic and almost
human action of one of the bears in
the cage at City park, at Denver, Col,
there would have been a death by
drowning in the colony. There were
seven animals in the bear PIT at the
park, three being on one sioe and four
on the other. During the heated
weather a hose is sprayed constantly
into the pit. On one side of the pit is
a trough which is full of water and in
which the bears roll and toss through
out the day. One afternoon two of the
three bears in one compartment. after
playing arund the cage for some time
rolled into the water, where they con-
tinued cutting and hauling each other
about, evidently in play. After a scuf-
fie one got the others head in his paw,
pushed his body. head and all, under
the water, holding it there firmly. The
victim struggled hard, but tho top
bear had him absolutely under control
and he was unable to raise his head
out of the water to breathe. The third
bear watched the antics of the top bear
for some time in an apparently disin-
terested manner until it appeared to
suddenly dawn upon him that there
was some danger. Then he jumped
into the trough. and. pushing the top
bear away, dragged the rscumbent and
almost lifeless form of the under ami
NAL out OF the trough onto the cement

THE LUCKY APPLE MAN.

One fine morning King George II. of
England took a ride abroad in the di-
rection of Hyde Park Falling in
with a man who kept an apple stall,
and whose clothes bespoke the old sol
der, the King began to talk to him.
The King soon learned that his name
was Alien and that he had taken part
in the battle of Dettingen, in which
il is believed his Majesty distinguished
himself. OF course, the King was de-
lighted, and, on parting asked what
service he could do him. Please, your
Majesty, give me a grant of the bit of
land on which my hut stands and I'll
be happy" BE happy" the King ma
jestically replied. and the apple man
was happy. So was his son, trained to
be a lawyer, for when in the course of
nature old Allen died the land was
supposed to be crown land, and. as
such, was let to a nobleman, who
forthwith caused a mansion to be
raised on the spot, Then young Allen
thought it time to put in a word Be
ing a sprig of the law, he knew a
thing or two and gave them no peace
until he received the sum of e45O, or
$3.50, yearly as ground rent Upon

heart talk regarding the changes
which five years have wrought in their
careers. Five years ago President
Roosevelt was out of business, both
as civil service commissioner and as a
member of the police board of New
York.
Leonard Wood was then only an as
sistant surgeon in the regular army
with the rank of captain. The adj
vent of the Mckinley administration
worked wonders for both men. DR..
Wood was selected as the presidents
physician, and this gave him a promi-
nence he might not have secured after
years of faithful service in an obscure
position. Theodore Roosevelt, after
considerable of a campaign, was ap-
pointed assistant secretary of the
navy. When the war broke out Roose-
welt himself conceived the idea OF or
ganizing a Rough Rider regiment, but
chose Wood as the colonel instead of
taking the place himself.
Today Wood is a brigadier general
in the regular army and governor gem
eral of Cuba. He is so young that in
the ordinary course he is destined to
become lieutenant general in command
of the army of the United States. His
former lieutenant colonel is now presi-
dent of the United States, and it was
perfectly natural that the two men
should put in little time in
solemn contemplation of the swift
ness with which Providence works at
times

Presenf Ruler of China.

Kwang-Su, formerly known as Tsai-
Tien, is the ninth Emperor of China
of the Manchu dynasty of Using, which
overthrow the native dynasty of Ming
in 1914. He was born in 1871, and at
that time nobody supposed that there
was the slightest chance of his sue
ceeding to the throne His predeces-
sor, Tung-Che, died in 1875, and the
empress dowager and the Manchurian
Princess held a meeting and selected
Tsai-Tien, son of Prince Chung, as
successor to the throne. Prince Chung
was the seventh brother of the En-
peror Hen Flung. There is no doubt
that Tsai-Tien was made Emperor be-
cause of his extreme youth, and the
consequent fact that there would be
long minority during which the dow
ager empress would be nominal as well
as actual ruler. However. he was
chosen, and the name Kwang-Su, or
Glorious Successor" was given to
him. His education was conducted by
the supposedly wisest man of the en-
pire and when he was fifteen years old
he was married to a bride chosen by
the dowager empress. Immediately
after his marriage Kwang-Su formally
assembled the throne with much cere-
mony, but he has been a cipher in the
affairs of the nation ever since, and on
only very rare occasions has ever been
allowed to receive the foreign minis
tiers. The dowager empress is the real
ruler.-Indlanapoli News. =

forms the lobby, to the left of which
are the telegraph room and a larger
apartment where the routine work is
carried on. The small room in the
southeast corner is used by the Presi-
dents private secretary, while the
large room adjoining is the office of
the President. Adjoining the Presi-
dents Office is the room where cabi-
net meetings are held, handsomely
frescoed and furnished, and contain
ing a number of private portraits.
The private apartments which are
shut off from the official wing by a
screen door at the tight of the public
stairway, are reached by long corri-
dor. The first one is the library, a
beautiful oval room. which serves as
the family sitting room, and, with its
books and pictures, is the cheeriest
and most home-like of all the apart
ments. Next is the Presidents room,
which still retains its oldfashioned
grandeur of canopied bed and crimson
satin hangings The bedrooms on the
north are usually set apart for guests,
although the northwest room was oc-
cupied by President and Mrs. Cleve-
land during their first residence.
1t has long been seen that the pres
ent White House is entirely inadequate
to the social, domestic and business
necessities which are enj9ised on the
President, and it is not improbable
that some changes will be effected
during President Roosevelt's admins

Though tied to mothers apron-string.

On which no evil passions trace

But finds at home his chief delight;

A gentleman out shooting one day
came to river, where he saw six
geese beyond shot He determined to
wait for them to approach the shore.
While sitting there he saw fox come
down to the shore and stand some
time and observe the geese. At length
he turned and went into the woods,
and came out with a very large bunch
of moss in his mouth. He then entered
the water very silently, sank himself,
and then, keeping the moss above the
water, himself concealed, he fioated
among the geese. Suddenly one OF
them was drawn under the water, and
the fox soon appeared on the shore
with the goose on his back. He as
cended the bank. and found hole
made by the tearing up of tree. This
hole he cleared, placed in it the goose,
and covered it with great care, strew-
ing leaves over it The fox then left;
and while he was away the hunter I'M
buried the goose, closed che hole, and
resolved to wait the issue. In about
half an hour the fox returned with an
other fox in company. They went di-
rectly to the place where the goose had
been buried, and threw out the earth.
The goose could not be found. They
stood regarding each other for some
time, when suddenly the second fox
attacked the other most furiously, as
