Predicted Japanese Supremacy Nearly
100 Years Ago.
That the japanese would one day be
rulers OF the ocean coast OF Asia ia
the prediction made almost a century
ago in the book Of a Russian naval
observer. whose prophecy seems not
unlikely OF fulhllment at the present
time. In 1911 Capt. Vhsir Gola win. OF
the imperial navy. was instructed TO
cruise among the coral archipeiagoes
Of the Pacific to ascertain which OF
these were inhabited by the japanese,
and accordingly he set sail from Odes-
"a In the Diana. arriving some two
months later OF the coast OF Yezo.
But one or two copies OF Capt. Cola
wins book are extant. one Of them
being In the library Of the Winter Pal
ace at st. Petersburg.

THE STORY OF A SQUIRREL.
He Was q Jolly Little Mischief, This

He Was q Jolly Little Mischief, This
Diaturber Of Brown House.
He was small and plump. Of a red
brown color, with a beautiful bushy
tail curling over his back. Have you
guessed that he WAS a SQUIRREL Then
look up his name in the dictionary, and
you will find out why he was called
Chickaree.
He lived in the trees behind the
Brown house, waiting for the butter
nuts to get ripe. A big butternut tree
grew close by the fence. Mr.. Squirrels

the summer, and he made mp his mind

as the ripe nuts began to fall with
thump to the ground, Chickaree was to
be seen-as busy as a bee all day long.

Brown house used 70 watch him from
the windows, and were never tired Of
saying how cunning he was, and how
glad they were to have him get the
butternuts. BE must have a snug lit

would carry OF a nut and be back

watched carefully, they never could
