BOTH JApS and
RUSSIANS PATRIOTIC

OF all nation there is none in which
the common people are taught to re-
gard the throne with more reverence
than in the two strangely different
but in this respect strangely similar,
empires of Russia and Japan. The
,czar is the father of his people"
Even the Russian sentry who cannot
read salutes his emperor with Christ
is risen, my father" and the en-
peror straightway answers Christ
has risen, my brother" and kisses
him.
The reverence of the japanese sol
der for the mikado is deeper even
than that. The mikado is little less
than a god. None the less, the mi
kado, like the ear, is throwing him
self into the combat with all the en-
ergy of a crusader. Ten years ago
he surrendered 100000 for his coun-
try's sake. Now he has decided to
give over his whole fortune into the
public treasury, while his empress
devotes herself to the welfare of the
sick and wounded.

public worship at Williamsburg, half
way between the York and James
rivers, 1875 miles from Mt. Vernon
and so immensely affected are the
colored hearers of a young preacher
at Williamsburg, that there was such
a negro chorus about the house as
might be heard across the Patomac,"
the nearest bank of which is &c
miles away. The great novelist
has Gen. Braddock ride out from

blazoned vehicle, with Dr.. Franklin

WAGERED SALOON ON RESULT
OF ELECTION AND LOST IT

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 17.-Thos.
II. Kavanaugh bet his saloon that
John M. White, democratic candi-
date for council from the ninth ward
would be elected and lost.
Michel & McDonough are now
running the saloon, on Bank-st.
This is the most spectacular cleo
ton bet ever recorded in Cleveland
1t IL as picturesque as the White
McLain fight in the ninth ward.
The ninth ward takes in the ten
derloin. White has a saloon on Sem
eca-st. He proved himself a stren-
uous fighter. and Tom Kavanaugh
was his first lieutenant.
The ninth attracted the attention of
the entire city to itself during the
campaign. Charges of illegal regis
tration and colonization" were
made.
The floating population made the
ninth its temporary abode, and lived
on the free lunch OF White and his
friends. McClain was almost equal
ly lavish, and, naturally. feeling rose
high in the ward
Kavanaugh caught the infection
and went out looking for bets.

in cash to bet on McClain.
The bet was made. so kavanaugh
says, $4,000 against Kavanaugh's sa-
loon.
Free lunch to the contrary not
withstanding, White didn't have a
look in. Kavanaugh lost about
everything he had in the world.
Last Thursday morning, when the
results of the election were definite
ly known, Michal & McDoHough
Kavanaugh was behind the bar.

he.

JAPS ARE
NOVEL READERS

II is not generally known that the
Jap is an inveterate novel reader.
Fiction was in favor long before he
discovered Europe but for the last
quarter of century the novel has
been more than ever the leading
article of japanese literature.
Hundreds of European and Amer
lean novels have been translated
and imitated-with the result that
the Jap's ideas of western life are
mainly "novelistic." One of the first
and most popular Of Japanese trans
lations from the English was Lord
Lytton's Ernest Maltravers."
japanese books, by the way, do
not read from right to left, as some
people say. but from top to bottom
of the page. which is printed in col
umns, beginning with the column on
the right. In reading book the
Jap kegins on the last column of the
last page and works back to the
first.

DIDN'T MISS CHURCH
IN 6 YEARS

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Coleman, aged
81 and SO, respectively, who reside
just south of Marion, O., have mari
tai record which is unique. Born in
Pennsylvania, they came to Ohio the
same year, 1927, and were married in
1871. Since that time they have lived
on the same farm, and for greater
portion of the time in the same house.
They have attended the Lutheran
church regularly for 60 years, never
allowing a single Sunday to pass
without having attended church at
least once.
They reared family of seven chill
dren. They have 16 grandchildren
and five great-grandchildren. OF
their descendants only one has died.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Coleman are in
excellent health.

tips of her patent leather shoes, she
was the most noisily dressed woman
in the car. Her dress was sort of a
wine color She preened herself con-
sciously and cast glances at the men
in the car.
Then a woefully shabby and dirty
little girl, carrying a basket of vege-
tables. boarded the car and sat down
beside her highness of the glad
clothes. The little girls straw hat
had been rained on, and the brim
Topped over one ear while one lone
daisy waved forlornly over the wreck
Of what ever had been a pretty hat.
One stocking was down, and the one
that was struggling to stay up was
full of holes.
The little girls soiled dress was
sort of a wine color. And here was
a coincidence which none of the men
noticed, but every woman did. Both
dresses were made of exactly the
same material.
Her highness of the glad rags no

John Vandercook, manager of the European bu-
reau of the Newspaper Enterprise Association who
was present at the elevation of Cardinal Saro to the
papal supremacy in 1903 went to Rome purposely
to gain an audience with Pope Plus and answer
these questions. Mr.. Vandercook successful
and tomorrow the Press will publish his article
which tells about his visit to the vatican and con-
tains remarkable character sketch of the pontif.
Plus X is silent pope, man OF action, not OF
words. His position on the great questions OF the
day, even to some extent his personality, have re-
NAMED mystery The article from Rome which
we publish is therefore contribution of great inter
est.
Mr.. Vandercook did not meen the pontiff as
stranger for he knew him before he entered the con-
clave and was present at his coronation as Plus X.
He also has the acquainanceship of men constantly
in the papal atmosphere, so that returning to Rome

able to draw a complete account of the first IA
months of the pOntifcate from the best inform
ed sources so that in addition to his audience
with the pope he is able to supplement his personal
impressions with those of the pope's intimates.
The result is probably the most complete picture
of Pope Plus and his policy yet given to the world.
