Watson In which he stated that he was

Peters argued that the affidavit was
Indefinite. What Watson called poor

questioned both Achi and Watson
closely regarding these allegations and
Watson cOrroborated the statements
OF his counsel with detailed facts.
! 1t seems from Watson's story that
the workers on the Koolau roads are
paid in cash and not in Treasury war
rants. The cash which Watson had
worked so hard for never reached his
pockets, however, since his taxes and
other such debts were collected on,

Japan's Wonderful Energy.

A writer on the Mikado's kingdom
gives some insight to the wonderful en-
ergy and stength of that little nation,
and the following extract from the article
may prove of interest to our readers:
"The same diligent genius that enables
landscape gardener in Japan to compass
within few square yards of land forest,
bridge-spanued stream, waterfall and
lake, chain of terraced hills, gardens of
chrysanthemums, 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 summer
house, has made it possible for the farm-
ers of the empire to build up on less than
10000 square miles of arabic land the
most remarkable agricultural 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 so miles an hour. could skirt the
entire perimeter of arabic Japan in II
hours. Upon this narrow freehold Japan
has reared nation of imperial 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 mon-
archy of Europe.
"The secret of the success of the little
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 equip
ment nor manufacturing skill. Western
nations will fail fully to grasp the secret
of dynamic intensity of Japan today, and
will dangerously underestimate the for
midable possibilities of the greater japan
the Dali Nippon-of tomorrow, until
they begin TO study seriously the agricul-
tural triumphs of that empire. For Japan,
more scientifically than any other nation,
past or present, has perfected the art of
sending the roots of its civilization en-
duringly into the soil. Progressive ex-
perts of high authority throughout the
Orient now admit that in all the annals
of agriculture there is nothing that ever
approached the skill of sunrise husbandry.
Patient diligence, with knowledge of
chemistry of soil and the physiology of
plants have yielded results that have
astounded the most advanced agricul-
turists in Western nations"

This Title Was Given to BeauchamDs
by Louis XIV.
In France during the reign Of Louis
XIV dancing took very prominent
position among court festivities, and
many members of the royal family
took part in the complex ballets of the
time. Louis himself. no mean perform
er, took lessons for twenty years from
Beauchamps, who was called the ia
Their of all dancing masters and upon
whom the king conferred the title doc
tor as a special mark Of favor.
Beauchamps had the honor Of APP
pearing rs partner with the king in the
minuet, a dance which was introduced
in 1850 in France, and no court ball
was opened in Europe for century
and half without 1t.
About the year 1861 royal acad-
envy of dancing was formed under the
auspices Of Beauchamps, Lulli, Moliere
and others, the object of which was to
elevate the art and check all abuses.
OF this academy Beauchamps was
chief, with the title of director.-Lon-
