NEVER EAT CANDY ANIMALS
LEST THEY BECOME CRUEL

TOXIC, Japan, Aug. 27.-Though
the martial spirit is industriously in
stilled into Japanese children by their
mothers from earliest infancy, they
are taught TO be kind to animals. At
home and in the schools they are not
even allowed to eat cakes or confec-
tionery made in the shape of rabbits.
sheep or other dumb beasts. for fear
they may acquire ideas of cruelty.
A teacher never whips a pupil. II
the pedagogue commits an injustice
the scholars stay away until repara-
ton is made.
Professor Ochima told the foreign
colony in a recent lecture here on the
national system of education that a
German teacher once scandalized a
school by his brusqueness. The boys
and girls talked it over among them
selves and then asked the principal TO
dismiss him, saying:
He is a learned man. but a pig"
Being informed that the teacher
had been engaged for a stated time,
they went straight to him and said:
IF you have a sens (half a cent's)
worth of honor, break your contract
and go back to Germany"
He went

which Is deemed necessary to secure
admission to it's doors. Here it is usually
taken for granted that any American
who has made big pile has thereby
acquired distinguished social position
at home and when he and his family
land on these shores they generally are
received with open arms and made
much of.
IF they are really people of good
breeding and refinement no harm
comes of it," said popular member of
the American colony in London, but
if, as often happens. they are vulgar
and bent only on cutting a wide
swath with their mOnev, much harm
comes of it, because they are regarded
as fair specimens of the sort of peO-
pie who are social leaders in America.
That is one reason why on the English
stage and in popular English novels the
American in society is always depicted
as an atrociously vulgar creature. who
scatters money and bad grammar with
equal Indifference. I have known many
wealthy but hopelessly crude individ
uals at home who, after making an
abject failure of their efforts to get
into society there, have come over here
and made a success of it."
But how do you and your friends
propose to stop it?" she was asked.
BY carving on a secret but active
campaign against Americans who have
nOthings but wealth to support their
social pretensions. Wherever we come
across them we shall take pains TO
let 1t be known that they have no
standing at home. We shall establish
a species of private bureau for the
dissemination of information among
English hostesses concerning the an
tecedents of American claimants on
their hospitality. There are enough of
us who have taken the matter seriously
in hand to make a. success of it. The
American hog and 'hoggess' are ex-
cluded from society in America and
they should be kept out here"

find new questions raised by seeing it,
while those who have seen it only in
flying TO the book for elucidation find
new problems to settle At any rate
Mr.. Shaw has succeeded in setting his
audience a-thinking, even while they

of yore for Americans who have no
recognized social position in the United
States to gain entrance to the best
circles here by means of their wealth

HARRY JAMES WRITES
IN HIS OWN DEFENSE
FROM THE ANT1PODES

Harry James, the popular leader %
Fischer's old galaxy, now directing
their triumphant progress through
Australia, writes thus to correct A
misstatement that appeared in this
and several other papers concerning
his relations with the company. Mr.
James SAYS: After reaching Homo
lulu, which was our first stand after
Frisco, Mr. Kolb came to me with de-
mands that, if 1 had acceded to them,
would have meant breaking up the
company. He said that if these de-
mands were not complied with he
would close, so it was either get a new
Dutch team or a new show. 1 naturally
said close Matters were in this con-
dition until the day of sailing, when
Mr.. Kolb weakened on his bluff and
came along with the show. AS re-
CARDS any dissatisfaction among the
other members of the company, all
statements concerning such are abso-
lutely without foundation. Every
thing outside of this connection has
been most harmonious"
Mr. James says further: THE show
was a big hit in Honolulu, playing to
the biggest business ever known in
that city. Everything Is looking fine
for our opening here on Saturday
night palace Theater, Sydney.
The manager also incloses some
notices of the American Travesty
Stars" There doesn't seem to be any
thing the matter with Sydney, so far
as Barney Bernard, Kolb and Dill,
Blake and Amber go.
