from these fields and takes in this
community. although it leaves Topeka
n short distance to the west This
theory seems to be brought out by the
fact that the Topeka wells at Shorey
Springs on the east has brought in a

Every district. every hamlet is con-

that great army may be massed will
be understood when it is said that. in
Japan, there are $4,000 men who have
had actual military training. and are
available for immediate service IL it is
so desired. This number represents
only one in every nine men who
have been drawn by lot, from the
physically able, to serve either the one
or three years enlistment in Japan's
compulsory military service, and there
fore it does not even touch the several
millions OF able bodied men who are
subject to conscription at a moments
notice.
The conservative Japanese leaders of
affairs believe an army of 300. 900 suffi-

Its population can only be guessed at,
for the official figures are untrust-
worthy. There are, probably. 500,
600 negroes and mulattoes scattered
over the 200 square miles. They
are often half-starved and always liv-
ing from hand to mouth, for there is
little incentive to honest industry
when a party of soldiers may come
along at any moment and eat up the
fruit of a mans labor. The country
could easily support 5,0OO,0O people
in prosperity and comfort. But it has
been at war, with hardly any consid-
cradle intermission, for about a hun
dred years. There is no other country
in the world, not even Venezuela, with
such a record.
The disparity in numbers between
women and men is even greater in the
country villages than in the cities, for

II have had some queer experiences

said Marriage License Clerk Danforth
as he patiently awaited the appearance
of the next applicant for matrimonial
fetters. THE one, however, that struck
me as the most peculiar happened in
the case of a man who came in here
recently looking for information He
was solemn looking sort of an indi-
vidual and the last man in the world
that looked as though he wanted to get
married. And he didn't, for he had al
ready been welded, as the sequel will
show in the following colloquy:
Is this the marriage license Office p
asked the man as he came forward.
1t certainly is,' replied.
Well. what 1 mean is, do you issue
marriage licenses here?'
of course do; why do you ask? %
Well, I got one here two months
ago, and you must have made a mis-
take and given me a dog license, for to
tell you the truth, have been leading
a dogs life ever since.
