TOMMY ATKINS OF JAPAN.
Soldier Of the MikaAo Esthetic Even
DurinK q Battle.

During q Battle.
II the British Tommy Atkins were

brother-in-arms be would undoubtedly
pronounce him queer fsh. His
most striking characteristic Is, per-
haps, his gentleness and his esthetic-
ism. l have seen privates walk hand
in hand like little school girls to Ger

distance Of, perhaps, seven or eight
miles from their barracks, pay for adj
mittance, admire the Irises for hours
and go home again, having tasted all
the day nothing stronger than weak
tea, says the japanese Times.
At intervals during the hottest fight
ing in China in 1900 the japanese
soldier FASTENED to unfold the fan
which he carried with him and to fan
himself. Even in his looting he was
esthetic, for the objects he brought
away with him, when he did bring
anything away with him, and that
was, of course, very seldom, were brio
a-brac whose value the western sold
Ter could not appreciate. A marked
difference between the japanese s,ld-
Ter and the British lies in the fact
that. while King Edwards uniform ha.

and general servants, the mikado's
uniform possesses no such fascination

get more opportunity of seeing for

FREED BY A MANIAC,
Telephone Lineman Passes a Rather
Unpleasant Few Minutes.

An old lineman lately told of try
Ing experience which came to him
while he was hunting for q break in
the telephone connection between the
main office and the insane hospital at
indianapolis. He had followed the
line all the way out and found that
the difficulty lay between forty-foot
pole and the telephone In the mems
building. AS he passed along he no
ticed several TRUSTEES" guarded by
their keepers, working In the garden.
l had to climb tree in an isolated
part Of the yard, he said, to unfasten
a wire that had become entangled in
limb. connected my test set and
called up the wire chief and explained
the case to him. With the work and
the talk perhaps was in the tree
twenty minutes.
l was on the point of dropping from
lower limb to the ground when saw
crazy man waiting for me with a
large pruning knife in his hand. He
was one Of the gardeners whom l had
passed.
Come down" he cried. AZ know
you. You stole my five thousand dol
lars. Give it back, or III kill you
And when he saw me hesitate and
draw back he yelled: Come down,
or I'll come up there after your
l scrambled higher into the tree and
shouted for help, but none came. The
mailman found heavy board, and,
placing 1t against the tree, started to
climb up; but in his hurry and e1-
citement he did not place 1t securely,
and when he was about half way up 1t
slipped and be went sprawling to the
ground. He tried it three times with
the same result. Then another inmate
came sauntering by and at once took
a hand in the game. He held the
plank for the other man. who soon
made good Roadway.
AT that instant bethought me to at
tach my test set and summon help
through the Office.
Call up the insane hospital"
called, "and tell them to send help
to me in the garden! There are two
lunatlcs after me, and one Of them has
a long knife. Hurry"
looked down then. and saw that
the maniac was In the tree. When
just below me he seated himself on
a limb, and. drawing the knife back
and forth across his palm, said: Look !!
Won't It cut?'
He started toward me, and had one
hand on my foot, and had raised the
other to kick him, when several keep
ers rushed up. Two Of them climbed
the tree, and Just as he raised the
knife to strike they reached him and
threw rope round him. 50 intent
was he on getting at me that he did
not see them. and was easily taken.

President Roosevelt in a letter
to Governor Durham, of Indiana,
takes q strong stand against the
spirit of lynching which has
been so much in evidence of late.
The president touches the root
of the matter when he states
that it certainly ought to be
possible by the proper admins
tration of the laws to secure
swift vengence upon the Grim
inal, and the best aud immediate
efforts of all legislators, judges
and citizens should be addressed
to securing such reform in our
legal procedure as to leave no
vestige Of excuse for those mis-
guided men who undertake to
reap vengeance through violent
methods. The courts by their
slOwness to mete out legal
punishment, and the frequent
instances of permitting Grim
inals to escape when brought to
trial have been the greatest
promoters Of lynch law.
