Carpenters Letter
CONTINUED from Seventh Page ,

looking into a sulphur pool, the gases of
which almost sicken us as we stoop over
The pool is filled with boiling mud. There
the steam is so thick you can hardly see
through 1t. BE careful where you step. A
girl slipped into that vat the other day
and came out cooked.
Look at this hole, see how IL bubbles UP
mud and oil. II makes a noise as though
1t were run by machinery and the people
have named 1t the donkey engine.
See the white stuff on which you are
standing. 1t looks like salt. You have
passed out Of the sulphur hills and are now
on hills OF snow, which show out in con-
trast with the boiling mud about you Pick
up some OF the snow or salt and taste 1t.
How II Fuckers your mouth. Your lips and
tongue wither as though you had bitten
into green persimmon The stun Is not
salt. 1t is alum There are bushels OF 1t
here, but mixed with other minerals. There
are parts OF New Zealand where there are
ifs OF alum and where the springs flow
alum water
But let us take a look at the Inferno We
walk through the steam over a thin crust
OF sulphur and look down into a great vat
twenty feet deep and so large that you
could drop a Maori house into 1t without
touching the sides. II seems to be filled
with boiling paint and as 1t seethes 1t now
throws up column OF mud. The scent Is
nauseating. Our stomachs turn and we
give our hands to the guide and beg him to
lead us forth. We go out through clouds
Of steam loaded with camphor. by the
DEVILS Punch Bowl, in which the mud is
the color OF lavender, and on into the open.
where the green hills and the blue sky
bring us back TO earth.

"OF ALL SAD WORDS"
The Poet Sings, "0f Tongue or Pen, the Sad

THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE
Commends whittier's Poem to the
Alien Life Companies Who Pre-
dicted Its Failure and Sought
Its Destruction.

"Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The sadest are these It might have been"
When the alien life insurance companies
opened their batteries on the Bankers Re

struction. 1t was young. in young com

states. They were certain this infant could

But the Bankers Reserve Life is vigorous
as well as young. II has a management of
experience and integrity. It has devoted
itself strictly to business. Never ninching

thus forever putting at rest any doubts as
to its success and vindiating its right to a
place among the foremost life companies
OF the land. II has proved to Nebraska
and the people of the west generally that
a home company. with home management,
Offering as good or better forms Of policies
than alien corporations, may count con-
fdently on home support. Thinking peo-

Over xI.5OO.OOO Goes Away

Japanese Ladies

Inc FEBRUARY numDeT OF lHe Nbindu .
Home Companion contains a deeply inter
esting article by the young Japanese writer,
Onoto Watanna, entitled "Home and Social
Life Of the Japanese" She sketches them
as follows
OF High Rank by an American, she is de-
scribed thus
Fragile waXen type of woman,
Mute, inscrutable. unhuman.'
"a little deeper insight into the character
and a better knowledge of the life of the
lady OF rank in Japan, might have stayed
the poets pen. for above all things she Is
human. Furthermore, she is essentially
domestic. womanly and motherly. Obe-
dent to the etiquette of her class. how
ever, she is mindful Of the strict conven-
ton which demands the repression OF her
emotions, and which regards any betrayal
OF her real feelings, particularly in public,
as vulgar and unrefned. Hence, the Japan
ese lady wears placid. even-smiling mask,
perhaps at time when she Is undergoing
both mental and physical suffering. But
she is not 'unhuman,' nor is she any the
worse for this repression, for together
with It is cultivated elf-abnegation un-
selhshness, meekness and obedience, and
at all times these qualities have been put
to test that has provoked acts Of posi-
tive heroism on the part Of this fragile
waxen type OF woman
Even the highest class Japanese women
have their household duties to perform,
and no matter how rich the family Japan"
ese girls are brought up to be able to sew
cook and attend to their homes. With the
usual perversity OF things Japanese, the
household is managed with view to the
comfort OF the husband The first thought
OF the wife, whether she be rich or poor
Is ever to make the happiness Of her hus-
| band
Now, duty is pretty hard word fol
| some OF us to spell, but to Japanese 1t Is
almost an equivalent for pleasure; and sc
no duty or task In the home is performed
but that 1t is done with light and cheer
| full heart"
