THE STURDY LITTLE JAP.
Although Small in Stature He Gives
the Impression of Being
Very Hardy.

Little! The idea that Japan is
a land of little people is at the best
a half-truth, and therefore doubly
misleading. The average Jap we
see in Europe gives no fair idea OF
the physique of his people. de
nearly always belongs to the pro
fessionaI classes. Now, the profess
sional and prosperous Jap Is, one
must admit, as rule small and of
apparently little stamina. tie
gives one the same impression as
does the Paris bouleyardler of haV-
ing frittered away his manhood on
worthless things. But he no more
represents the average man of his
people than does the bouleYardier
represent the French peasant,
says the London Mail.
The average japanese man,
while not tall, gives one the i'm
preston of being probably the
hardest man on earth. He lives
perpetually in the open air and on
the simplest food. His home con-
sists of paper screens, which never
shut out the air wholly, and are
always open a great part of the
day.
He is hardy because he has been
Injured to the most extreme dis
comfort since infancy. He does
not know what comfort is. His
home has practically no furniture.
Mating, bedding mo bed and a
tray for food supply his wants. In
a land cold beyond belief over ii
large part of the year, he never has
a coal fire, but warns himself over
a box holding a few fragments Of
burning charcoal.

RAILWAY STATION PARTING
Pathetic Leave-Taking of a White
Boy and His Little Black
Skinned Chum.

"Loitering in the Pennsylvania
raj way station one evening last
We X" said a Washington man to
a Star reporter, Il was witness to
a little incident which had about il
equal parts of humor and pathos,
but which convinced me to a Ger
tainty that between a certain
couple of little boys-one black
and the other white-there was no
tinec OF race dissension.
AS | could easily gather from
the surrounding scenes the family
to which the white lad belonged
were about to go on a distant jour
ney.
THE black boy and his pale
faced chum came into the station
hand in hand. There seemed to be
sort of David and Jonathan af-
lection between them.
'Well, the time came to board
the train and the two had to be
separated. Then there was Il
howl that might have been heard
for blocks. The Youngsters
rushed into each others arms and
exchanged innumerable kisses. |

watched the entire proceeding,
and when the train started saw
the little white boy with his head
out of the car window, while the
poor little darby, crying with all
his might, looked as helpless and
forlorn as a mariner marOOned on
a desert island.
Il felt sincerely sorry for him
when he was led away by some Ia
dies and gentlemen who were also
taking leave of the departing fam
ily."

A great cumulous thunderhead

The winner looked up from his
seat at the faro table, met the quick
meaning of the others eye and the
slight movement of his head to-
ward the door, and rose reluc-
family.
The dealer resented the inter
ruption with an angry scowl, and
grumbled audibly. The player
transferred the gold and silver to
his pocket in a careless way. Then
he walked out.
As the door closed upon the bois-
ferrous song and laughter, he asked
impatiently:
"Well, what's up?o

For time the man did not reply,

Quickly, and following the direc-
ton indicated, Todall sprang into
the ditch, which had been dug for
the grading of the foundation of
the saloon, and crawled beneath
the small foot bridge which
spanned it.
With easy nonchalance, his com
panion yawned slightly, stretched
painfully, drew out his large, open
faced time-piece, and by the light
through the glazed door consult
ed it.
Three men turned the corner of
the building. The foremost one,
stout, intrepidlooking individual
with 'horse-tail' mustache,
paused.

deep, low voice, Find him -

man on the foot bridge, in a dis
gusted sort of way.
''Blame it, he's here, amt he?

Donahue shrugged his shout
ders, and coolly reentered the sa-
loon. He was not disposed to
quarrel with the eXasperated sher-
if. With muttered imprecation,
the latter followed with his two
deputies. Pausing at the bar they
fingered over their liquor.

The deputy flushed slightly.
The crowd about the table were
all strangers, and looked upon him
with the cool, brazen curiosity of
strangers, which, from its inten-
sity, mutely called for his answer.

replied, 1.-The lads a friend O. mine,

Again the cards were cut. This
time the dealer replaced them.

ly, then spoke:

The "look-out' sitting on the

in his ear. The dealer started,
and his face frightened.
He grasped the revolver from
the table, and as Donahue turned
away, arose.

floor.

reigned.

something should be done to abate the
sign nuisance along railroads between
Philadelphia and New York, which are

saw. Among other things he says:
There are so many pill advertise
ments painted on the barns, factories

In New York that they generally give
all the passengers the diarrhoea from

BOARD OF
Two State Roads This Year.

At the January meeting of the Salem
County Board of Chosen Freeholders held
in the Court House on the 18th, it was
decided to build both the Woodstown and
the Penn's Neck States roads this year.
The Woodstown road will be constructed
of Warren's bituminous macadam from
the bridge over the millpond to the bridge
over the railroad and of gravel from the
railroad bridge to its connection with the
present..State gravel raad. The Borough
Council of Woodstown has agreed to pay
ten per cent. of the cost of the entire road
and to take charge of the Warren road
and keep it in repair for the term of fifty
years. The committee on the construc
ton of this road which consists OF Messrs
Freas, Ayers, Borton, Edwards and Sum-
merrill, was given powder by a unanimous
vote to employ al engineer and have the
same surveyed.
The matter OF the building of a State
road in PENIS Neck was then brought to
the attention of the Board. The town
ship having agreed to pay ten per cent. OF
the cost of said road Mr.. Hannah moved
that the road from the Penn's Neck
Bridge to Pennsville he constructed OF
oyster shells and the motion was unanim-
ously carried. This makes the third at
tempt to have a State road built in that
township and it now looks as though the
project would be carried through. The
first attempt was made some years agp
when it was decided to construct an oys
ter shell road. On July 9Th of last year
it was decided to build the road of the
Warren material but this wa deemed to
be too expensive. 1t was then proposed
to build the road partly of the Warren
material but the Board III September 9th
passed a resolution to build no more
State aid road that year. MessIs. Freas,
Briant, Fox, Hannah and Griscom, the
committee on the building Of this road,
have already on hand over 1905 00 BUSH
els of shells and as soon as the weather
permits, work will be commenced OH the
road. The committee was gived discre-
tionary power to advertise for bids for its
construction.
Freebooter Burk reported that Glouces-
ter county has as yet taken no action on
the repairing Of the P~edricktown draw
bridge. A joint committee Of Salem and
Gloucester county had recommended to
the Gloucester County Board that this
bridge be put in shape for travel but the
Gloucester County Board laid the matter
on the table.
Clerk Ford was instructed to notify
Gloucester County Board to take some
action in the matter.
VIM. I'll. Carton, of Pittsgrove, was al
lowed three dollars for killing a gray fox.
This is the second fox killed in this coun-
ty since the fox bounty law has been in
effect.
The committee on Murphy's dam
bridge reported progress.
Committee on Woods dam bridge re-
ported that the same had been repaired,
and the committee was discharged.
The committee on the Woodstown bank
assessment reported that the sum of
$133. "a, excess taxes, had been refunded
to the Borough of Woodstown, and the
committee was discharged.
Freebooter Hannah reported that the
ice had raised several pilings and the
canal bridge was somewhat damaged. Mr..
Hannah war instructed to make the
necessary repairs.
