/ that she is quite as devoted TO the
Mikado as the suinarai woman.
A story is told of an old peasant
woman who sent her only son4to fight
/! for the Emperor in the Chinese war.
| BY depriving herself OF everything
4 .ot1t the barest necessaries OF life,
!! and telling early and late in the
| fields, she mad been able to give her
( son superior education, and she had
| the satisfaction Of seeing him fairly
started on business career, which
! promised to be successful, when the
call to arms sounded.
The little peasant mother made her
| son give up his business and enter the
/ ranks OF. the army. The boy did as
his mother wished, and his regiment
was one of the first to set foot on
Chinese soil.
Every morning jnst before daybTeak
the little peasant woman rose ana,
after making a careful toilet as an
orthodox Buddhist she went to little
shrine nearby and prayed TO DIN,
the god of war. She did not pray
for her son to come home safe and
sound, but she prayed that ne might
prove worthy of the honor of wear
ing the Mikado's uniform.
One day, when the old woman was
returning to her home from the tenn
pie she met a messenger who told
her that her son had Keen killed in
the attack on Port Arthur. The
mothers eyes grew dim with tears.
and she swayeA unsteadily for mo-
nrant. Then she turned and started

The Japanese woman who above
all others distinguished herself in war

who led japanese army in person

She assumed the supreme power

After her return from Korea she
gave birth to a son, who became the

The history OF the feudal warfare

territory tributary to their ten thousands Of miles OF
railroad is carefully looked after by their industrial
and immigration departments, not as q money max.
ing scheme in commissions from land sales, but
with higher and mere general interest in view,
that when a railroad passes through densely pop.
ulated section it gets big business to do in eeit
innate way. With this end in view this railroad has
been satisfied to labor and to wait. In every locali
ty touched by the lines of this system, when they
have been able to secure the cooperation OF the local
people, wonderful advancement has been made from
year to year. Today practically all along their lines
tae people are awake and doing, and the railroad
folk are taxed to redOuble their effort to keep up
with the great growth so long being started.
And why are these efforts Of the Southern Railway
company so successfulf For many reasons: First,
q thorough and systematic policy which overlOoks
part of their SYSTEM or the country tributary to
them Second because the vast section Of the South
raversed by this line of road can honestly boast of
being the richest and most productive even cimated
intellectually peOpled domain on the face of the
globe. Those who are induced to pay visit TO the
South by this railroads industrial department are
carried through maze of enchantment day after
day, and upon investigation are informed that at
any place along it's lines one locate and build
home, more comfortable more healthiul, more pleas
ant, all things considered than can be builded in
any OF the northern cold and unreasonable Sec
tons of the United States.
Land Is cheap throughout this Southern country,
selling today for less than onehalf what il is really
worth and will bring within ten years from this
hour. No man who comes South and looks the
c0untry over viii gansay this, and If it is possible
for him to make the change, he does so ct once and
becomes, really and truly, Southerner.

there is not to be found such combination OF desr-
able conditions as exist here. The climate is even
and healthfu There can practically be claimed
that there is no winter to be dreaded by the human
family and to cause the suffering of stock. Two
crops OF ordinary cereals are easily made as far
North Tennessee, and the only thing that has
prevented this section from being the richest and
most coveted up to the present time, is the craze
which has carried people westward into unknown
localities to follow the signboard Public DomaiB."
There are no public lands in the South, but that
owned by individuals can be purchased at prices
that will make those who sell regret and those who
purchase rejoice iu the near future.
One crOwning feature of which the South can boast:
it has no paupers, no tramps, Of its own product,
no squallor and want among it's white population.
One other boast may be not 80 generously &C.
eeptable, but it is to some pure gold: all men
are guaged by their character and not by the size Of
their bank accounts. But most Of them have the
latter now.

NEW ZEALAND GEYSERS.
Among Them Is Said to BE the BIZ
gest Spouter In the World

Among Them Is Said to BE the Big
xest spouter In the world.
Yellowstone park is reputed to nave
the most magnificent geysers IN the
world. but their reputation is based
unon the statements Of travellers VINO

who know nothing Of its natural won
ders-
Leaving Auckland by fast express
train, journey Of eight hours brings
one to Rotorua, where may be seen the
most splendid geysee which Is prooa-
hlv 70 be found anywhere in the world
To give one some idea Of the magnl-
tude Of the geyser 1 need mention only
the height of some of the surround
ing objects. Over the Inferno crater
which contains a seething lake OF wa
fer. is a small shelter shed 45O rect
above the plain. The surface OF the
water in the geyser basin when at
rest is about forty feet below TINS
plain. The height Of the eruption
must often be about 900 feet. ibis
,s by no means exceptional. H1gher
"shots" have been recorded. l have
myself seen a shot computed at l,Zoo
feet Some months ago the area OF
the basin was measured in a small
boat by a Mr.. Buckeridge and a guide.
They found that the area is about TWO
and a half acres, from which 1t may
be inferred that this geyser may wen
be called the largest in the world.
The geyser plays about twenty-five
times each month, is very erratic ana
gives no warning when it is about 10
erupt. The theory is advanced that
the basin is somewhat like a funnei
and that when the water and stones
are elected the larger stones return
and lam in the neck, thereby choking
the outlet, so that an enormous pres
sure of steam must shift them. when
the pressure is sufficiently great to
blow out the distractions 1t naturally
/ would eject water to a great helght'
The theory, however, is at best rather
fanciful.
This geyser is not the only one tc
