FOR THE MlKADo's SAKE.
An Incident Illustrative of the Devo.
ton OF the Japanese to Their
Emperor.

"Our japanese papers are full these
days OF stories Of soldiers devotion TO
the emperor" said Japanese mer-
chant in New York, but to my mind
nothing so illustrates the depth OF this
feeling as an incident that occurred
when was a sehoolboy OF eight
years.
"One spring day. as we we're study
ing in the little schoolhouse in my
native town. we were suddenly
alarmed by the cry OF flood and had
barely time to make our way out OF
the building and fee to high land be-
fore the waters OF the freshet were
surging around the schoolhouse.
While We were standing on 9 hill
side watching the foods progress our
teacher suddenly shouted: The em-
peror's plcture!' The next instant he
plunged into the swirling waters and,
though a poor swimmer. struck out for
the schoolhouse, which. By this time.

tiozs and was moving down the val

and sound And children that we
were. We eomprehcnded the heroic
quality Of his deed and cheered him
heartily as he gained his breath.
"As | say, this 10 me was more

peror. for Il was done not under the
stress OF wronghi-up patriotism. but
