ALL THE JAPANESE.
Arc Wild With War Enthusiasm mt All
 Times

|
 | Vim. E. Curtis writes to The Chicago
 Record-Herald. from Kyoto, Japan, as ifollows: Although all the fighting is
 several hundred miles away, Japan is very much alive to the war, and I do | not believe so much enthusiasm of such
 intense interest was ever manifested
 elsewhere as is shown by the country
 people of Japan in every event that | concerns 1t. The Government controls
 the telegraph lines and the mails, and | the newspapers are under the surveil- ance of a censor, but certain official re- ports from Manchuria and the fleets are furnished to the public daily from the war and navy offices, and within half an hour their contents are known to every peasant in every secluded hamlet of the interior that is reached | by telegraph wires Whenever the | slightest news Is received, the news papers in the cities and towns issue
 extras. which are furnished free of 1 charge to all their subscribers, and are given away to the public At every newspaper office throughout the entire twenty-four hours you will find on duty awaiting these extras a dozen or more athletic young newspaper car riers, stripped to the buff" as you might say, that is, wearing nothing but gauge undershirts and cotton trunks that reach only from the waist to the middle of the thighs. like those worn by professional runners and jump CTS at sporting events. These carriers remain at their posts night and day, and the moment the little slips contain ing war news leave the press they grab them and rush for their routes with Jingling bells tied to their girdles, so that everybody may know that some- thing has happened, for the police pro- hibit shouting in the streets
 These carriers run their entire routes at the top of speed, thrusting extras into the doors or windows of their sub scribers. Many of the latter have bull letin boards hanging on their walls, upon which they paste the extras as soon as they are received, so that those of their neighbors who can not afford to pay for newspapers may have the benefit of the information as soon as any.
 Beside each of these bulletins is usu- ally a map of Manchuria and the sur rounding seas and territories. in order that the readers may note the move ments of the army and see where the battle occurred. Groups of people may usually be found in front of them read ing the latest dispatches, studying the maps and discussing the progress of the war with great intelligence. Many house holders cut the war dispatches and articles bearing on that subject from the newspapers every morning and evening and paste them on the boards for the benefit of everyone who can read, and few people in Japan can not. I suppose there must be 2.0OO of these private bulletin boards in this city of S50.000 people, in addition to those kept up as usual before the newspaper and telegraph offices and other public places
 Few countries have so many newspa- pers as Japan. There are S29 published altogether, according to the latest cen sus, and there is scarcely a town with ! out one. Hence every peasant keeps

At the three quarters Mazetto fell back and Curry began a drive with York Boy.

From Mother to Teacher.

A man who sells text books, and who
is not without sense of humor, was in
Louisville, last night. This man-John
L. Young of Roanoke, Va.-has collected
for the entertainment Of his customers a
long list of "letters from mothers toteach'
ers."
The letters abound in humor and odd
savings. A few of them follow:
"Dear Miss Baker: Please excuse
Rachel for being away those two days
Her grandmother died, to please her
mother"
"Miss-: Frank could not come
those three weeks because he bad amonla
and information of the vowels."
"Teacher: John says you want to see
me. have beer saloon and nine chill
dren. Biziness is good in morning and
afternoon. How can I Gomez"
"Miss-: Pleaselet Willie come home
at 2 o'clock. take him for out a little
pleasure to see his grandfather's grave. ."
