The Secret of Success.

The same diligent genius that en-
ables a landscape gardener in Japan
to compass within a few square yards
Of land a forest, a bridge-spanned
stream, a waterfall and lake, a chain
Of terraced hills, gardens of chrysan-
themums, hyacinths, peonies and pinks,
a beetling crag crowned with a
dwarfed confer, and through all the
dainty park meandering paths with
here a shrine and there a dainty sum-
mer house. has made, it possible for
the farmers of the empire to build up
on less than $4,000 square miles of
arabic land the most remarkable ag-
ricultural nation the world has known.
If all the tillable acres of Japan were
merged into one field, a man in an
automobile, travelling at the rate of
fifty miles per hour, could skirt the
entire perimeter Of arabic Japan in
eleven hours. Upon this narrow free
hold Japan has reared a nation of inn
perial power, which is determined to
enjoy commercial pre-eminence over all
the world Of wealth and opportunity
from Siberia to Siam, and already, by
force Of arms. is driving from the
shores Of Asia the greatest monarchy
Of Europe.
The secret Of the success Of the lit
tie Daybreak Kingdom has been a
mystery to many students of nations.
Patriotism does not-explain the riddle
Of its strength, neither can commerce.
nor military equipment, nor manufac-
turing skill. Western nations will fail
fully to grasp the secret of the dy-
manic intensity of Japan to-day, and
viii dangerously underestimate the for
midable possibilities Of the Greater
Japan-the Dai Nippon-of tomorrow.
until they begin to study seriously the
agricultural triumphs Of that empire.
For Japan, more scientifically than any
other nation, past or present, has per-
fected the art Of sending the roots of
its civilization enduringly into the
soil.
Progressive experts of high authority
throughout the Occident now admit
that in all the annals Of agriculture
there is nothing that ever approached
the scientific skill of Sunrise husband
~. Patient diligence, with knowledge
Of the chemistry of soil and the physi-
ology of plants, have yielded results
that have astounded the most ad-
vanced agriculturists in Western ma
tions.-Bookloyers Magazine.

No Cats for Him.

A certain barber in the Mission dis
trict has a marked aversion to cats
and it all came about in this wise
Some practical joker inserted an ad-
vertisement in one of the morning
papers recently to the effect that an
unlimited number of cats was wanted
at once at the shop of the aforesaid
barber. The advertisement stated
that it did not matter if the cats were
NANCY, crOss-eyed, blind or had any
other physical defects, that fifty cents
would be paid for each one.
That morning a motley crowd Of
youngsters stood in front of the shop
just as the barber came along to open
up for the day. The boys carried all
sorts and conditions of cats in their
arms. The barber wanted to know
the meaning of 1t all and one of the
crowd who had a sack full of cats in
formed him.
"Ah, say, you're de guy what ad-
vertised for cats and we've brung you
a lot of 'em, see ?"
The barber protested that he want
ed no cats and just then a boy came
along carrying a huge basket filled
with specimens of the feline family.
To add to the BARRIERS CONSERVATION
wagon drove UP to his shop and the
driver unloaded chicken coop con-
tanning at least thirty cats, saying, Il
guess these will hold you for awhile"
The barber by this time was frantic
and, refusing to open up his shop,
fed from the scene in dismay. Now,
if any one desires to make that bar
Der frantic. all that is necessary is to
yell, cats" or "mee-ow" when he ap-
proaches.

Sons of Rest.

1.-THE Ancient Order of Amalgamat-
ed Sons of Rest" so long prophesied
by the comic papers, has become a
reality in Louisville and has been
founded by fifteen young negroes be-
tween 20 and 80 years of age, who
have sworn allegiance to a constitu-
ton which binds them never to do a
stroke of work and to help each other
out of trouble.
The new club made its first appear
ance in public recently and a pa
rade through Breckenridge street was
given. They bore a banner with the
inscription, I'VE Never Work" The
club never holds a special meeting, for
it is always in session. 1t will proba-
bly, have enormous success, as its
members have plenty of time to give
to it and need not worry about other
duties.
The constitution, which is being
kept secret, is said to read like this:
The object of this order is to avoid
all kinds of labor, both mental and
manual. It's members are sworn
never to indulge in work of any kind
or form.
1t is the further purpose OF the or
ganization to promote rest and recre-
alton and to prove to the world that

The Republican publishes resolutions
adopted by the Saratoga Valley Stock
association in relation to railroad
rates, etc. We believe the meeting
should have taken some action in the
matter Of comforting with the officers
of the road upon the questions at issue.
It Ia the general policy Of railroad COM
panies and corporations generally to
raise the tariff on an article to the
highest point they believe 1t will bear.
II the people do not confer with the
corporations through committees n
otherwise, reaching clear to head
quarters, injustice is often done In
Willingly.
Tf.e advice of The Republican to
the stockmen of the Saratoga valley is
for them to take their grievances up
direct with the officers of the company
and see what answer can be obtained
from headquarters. If, after full and
fair discussion, proper grievances are
not ~redressed, Their the time Will have
arrived for the drastic sug-
Eeeted in their resolutions.
Stockmen have informed this paper
that their rate to market is reasonable
and thai they have no complaint on
that score. it is the rate on merchan-
disc coming from the markets OF the
east to the ranch of which they COM

THE SCHOOL

The reelection of Trustees Gramm
n Carter at the school election last
night was a clear vote of confidence.
For several days past an attempt has
been made to discredit Mr.. Gramm n
the result is certainly gratifying to
that gentleman and his friends. The
election was in no sense a reflection
on the capability or integrity of Mr..
Holiday; it was simply a spontaneous
endorsement by the people of a man
who has served this community in
many capacities and has not been
found wanting. A straight fight was
made to beat him and the sentiment of
the community, after a thorough can
vass, must now be apparent to even
the casual observer.
During Mr.. Gramm's many years OF
service on the school board he has
had the confidence of his fellow mem

teachers and of the children in the
schools. Our schools have been con
Quoted in as nearly a faultless man
ner as possible and with such economy
as to be very gratifying to the taxpay-

generous spirit and have given in re
turn their very best service.
hTe reelection of Messrs. Gramm
and Carter was squarely in accord with
principle, Justice and the highest good
