DUBIOUS JAP DEL,cAcY.
An Americans First Taste Of the Fa-
vorite Raw Fish and Wasabi
Of Nippon.

The japanese are very fond Of fish
they like it picked, they like it dried.
they like it canned, they like it freshly
cooked and they like it raw. With this
last taste We Of the occident find it hard
to sympathize: yet at least one Amer
lean has been converted to its &C.
ceptance," says Youths Companion.
Mr.. Harold Bolce has recently related
how he was skilfully and gently urged
along the difficult path of experiment
by the Japanese author and diplomat,
Mr.. Tumio Yano.
Zone night at the Nippon club" says
Mr.. Bolce, he led up to delicate sub
ject on the menu with much diplomacy.
He finally got my assent to the state
ment that a cosmopolitan appetite is
one Of the distinguishing marks of cult
waited travel. Then he passed me raw
fish.
II confessed that was willing to be
stick-in:the-mud or any other variety
OF Silurian rather than take place with
the international elect by eating such .
dish. My host, however, was painfully
insistent, finally adding that with raw
fish they. of course, ate wasabi. Now
l did not have even a vague notion of
what this might be, but with that raw
proposition before me it was comfort
ing to know that at least it was to be
diluted with something. figured out,
also, that, with my awkwardness with
ehop-sticks, might manage, without
excitf-eeg suspicion, to drop the fish be-
fore the fatal moment, and eat only the
mysterious wasabi But whether
through cowardice or courage. I. cannot
say, fish and relish made quick and
simultaneous journey to my reluctant
palate, and in that never-to- be- forgot
ten instant there flashed into my con-
seriousness the undeniable truth that in
all my occidental years had been de-
MED one of the most savory dishes in
the world.
Charles Lambs Chinaman had jubi-
liant delight over his first taste of roast
pig; but that is degraded passion COM
pared with an Anglo-Saxon's initial
ecstasy over an oriental morsel of raw
namasu garnished with the roots Of
Eutrema wasabi."
Raw fish anyone who desires to try
the same experiment need not import;
he need only-a very large only-learn
to like it. and perhaps he will not need
to import the wasabi either, in short
time, for experiments are being made
with a view to growing It in America.
It is valuable condiment with other
dishes than fish, and is source Of much
profit to japanese farmers. The plant
belongs to the mustard family, and can
be grown in moist soil or in running
water, like cress, an acre Of land often
yielding two tons of the edible root
Curry and chutney came from the east
long ago; soy sauce is fast following;
now wasabi is on the way. Perhaps it
is the cooks of the orient, rather than
our own, who will finally redeem our
race from the reproach Of the famous
French epicure who thought little Of
English civilization because, although
1t had 81 forms of religion, It had but
one sauce. -

A letter had come to the village post
Office with foreign postmark to his
address that day-a long-hoped-for
and passionately desired letter-and,
while fierce light Of triumph burned
in his eyes and in the culver of nos-
tril and tight compression Of lips,
there lurked other and strange feel
ings in the strong lines of that hand
some face, sorrow and regret visible
to the watchful sympathy Of eyes
which followed his restless steps.
'We1l 60 back again into the great
world, old fellow. Well take our place
In the surging battle of life once more.
and this time we will hold our own"

'No; you will forget us when you've

Leaving John Henderson, who wrung
his hand, then strobe off to examine
the weir, Smith, whose letter received
that morning, bore crest and the
signature Of great and influential
name, went slowly down tho narrow
path to Gretchen who stood beneath
the rose vine Of the porch.
His voice shook and faltered as hold
ing her hands in his he said the part

Silently she listened, and closing her
eyes, those soft brown eyes he was to
see in memory in long after years.
Gretchen leaned against the door sill.
He turned and left her.
PlInging into the forest he strobe
along with Rex towards the railroad
station, IL miles distant.
Nor ever again did Paul, Comte

tudes of the forest which stretched
along the banks of the bayou, hear
the rush Of water and the hum OF the
wheel of John Henderson's sawmill,

with the scent Of wild thyme and
honey-suckle, or see face beautiful
and sweet. except in dreams.
Gretchen went back to the distant
home Of her childhood.
Then John Henderson Joined q regi-

He fell MORALLY wounded in the
seven days fighting around Richmond.
The old mills days Of usefulness
were over and only memories of those
departed days, John Henderson's
CHEEKY voice, Gretchen's beauty and

dam was audible and the soughing of
the winds in the trees, Smith would
sit and chat by the bright wood fire in
Gretchen's pretty little parlor, cheating
time with his strange tales and talk,
until, with Gliding laugh, Henderson
would send Gretchen to bed to keep
the roses fresh in her cheeks and the
light bright in her soft, brown eyes. (
John Henderson prospered with his
sawmill, and his strong, gentle heart
was filled with happiness and content
ment. The bright winter days went
by peaceful and prosperous, spring
came with its dogwood and wild flow
ers; Gretchen's roses and sweet peas
flourished and her beauty grew apace.
Then summer came, with it's long, still
nights, its restful quietude, the faint
whisperings Of the light breezes, the
CLINT Of the freely and the call Of the
birds, and Gretchen grew to be beau
tiful woman. But there was a shadow
overhanging the wild rose perfection
Of her face and q fear In the depths
Of her dark eyes.
Again the sweet, early days Of the
fall swept over the land. but there was
a threat of sto1 n in the air. and
there was unrest and vague dis
quietude in the cottage by the bayou,
although the sawmill, with it's ceaselesa
clang of machinery and the monoton-
GUS whir Of its great wheel had
brought prosperity, ease and comfort

ROOseye1t'S Letter.

President Rooseyelt's letter of
acceptance is prolix TO II weari-
some degree. He has taken 5000
words; first, to defend his own adj
ministration, and second, to as
sault the Democratic declaration
of principles. His multiplicity of
words has failed in both Instances; /;
because his administration can
not be successfully defended, and
the Democratic platform is invul-
nerable to his specious attack.
The letter is apologetic in tone,
and discloses that the strenuous
