This, according to Toxic letter to
the New York Evening Post, Is the
story Of a japanese traitor-a Japan
ese Benedict Arnold. Since the begin
ming of the war it has been evident that
the Russians have been supplied with
an intimate knowledge Of prospective
Japanese movements. The Japanese
officials found that their secrets were
leaking. Then it was that the staff Of
ficers, and even the elder statesmen,
were placed under the character-rack-
ing espionage Of the Japanese spy sys-
tenn, and the land invasion had to wait.
Every man was followed, dogged'
watched. These methods finally seized
upon certain peculiarities in the life
and DAYS work Of Lieut.. Col. Hanzoku,
of the general staff HanZoku had been
buying presents like a race track Win
ner. The women Of his acquaintance
received valuable jewels. The Yoshu. :.
wara knew Hanzoku, and the bank OF
the city showed deposits IN his name:
All Of which was not In the reach or
a lieutenant coloners salary. Hanzoku
was a hard drinker, q gambler by Eu-
ropean methods, and bore the distinc-
ton Of introducing poker into Japan.
1t has been asserted that before the
withdrawal of the Russian embassy one
Of the attaches arranged with Hanzoku
to furnish st. Petersburg with detail
ed plans Of Japan's purposes. The
Russian attache and Hanzoku had
been very friendly having been
students together In Germany. The
details Of actual evidence against
Hanzoku cannot be had. No word OF
the affair has even reached the col
umns Of the japanese press, but with
in the last few days the lieutenant
colonel was arrested, tried by court
martial and shot by detachment OF
riflemen chosen from the Imperial
guards. Between the end Of the trial
and the sound Of the shots there were
only a few hours. It Is said that he
was executed within the palace walls
and buried at the edge Of the inner
Moat.

Letter to II A c Walker,
Yorkville, S c,

Dear Sir: You are a teacher: here's
one for your boys:
If the painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint, and one
paint goes twice as far as another, how
much are those two paints worth?
If Devoe is worth $3.50 or $l.T5 a
gallon, how much is the other one
worth?
How much is gallon of paint
worth anyhow?
The answer is: Depends on the paint.
The reason Is: Paint isn't always
paint. There are true and false paint
and short measure.
How much is a short-measure gallon
worth? How much is false paint
worth? How much is Devoe worth?
There are millions a year in the an
swer to this last one. Yours truly

and are not included in it. Always
keep the contract in view. Agents Of

they press as reasons why the custo-

naturally present that which will ap-

should always bear in mind that the
contract is what governs between you
and the company, while statements
made by the Agents, If not embodied
in the contract, are Of no value and are

Is not the leading feature of our
business, but it is an important
one. We do not claim to have
as large stock of millinery as
some city stores carry, but we
do claim to have a stock OF spring
millinery that will compare most
favorably in quantity, quality or
variety with any millinery stock
in the county, and on prices we
are sure that we can save the
buyer money on every hat or
bonnetfshat we sell.
Miss Annie Wallace, our trim
lner, has had twelve seasons ex-
perience in trimming, and her
artistic work is highly compli-
mented by ladies who are thor
oughly competent judges.
Ladies who have seen our line
of spring and summer millinery
say it is equal in quality and
style to any millinery shown on
this market.
If you would have the newest
and most fashionable millinery,
a large quantity and good quail
ty for selection, the best work
at the lowest prices, you should
do your buying here.
We can please you.
