boat were John Pinnell and William
Haskell both saloonkeepers. AMI an
other man who is not known. When

bottom at once and the unknown man
attempted to reach shore.
Pinnel, however, hung to the boat
till a boat reached flim from shore. The
boatman was unable to get him into the
boat. and started to tow him to shore.
When within a short distance OF the
shore Pnne,ps strength gave out and
he sank beneath the waters. The bod
les have not yet been recovered. and no
effort will be made till tomorrow morn

lake.
The name of the third man was later

CURED to attain proficiency. European

Wrestling is favorite sport and
one in which all soldiers exhibit Won
derful skill. Wrestling matches be-

Of the year in the Japanese army.
The most popular pastime of the
soldier in the field is playing hanna

unlike whist. The cards are 4S in

whist and more difficult to master.
The game of go or Japanese dom

cut into little disks, are used to fill
the squares. The rules of the game
appear quite complicated to the for
eigner. Shot, or japanese chess,
also is popular game.
The Japanese camps impress the for
eigner as being very clean and order

drunkenness and boisterous conduct so
common in the camps of European

fond of his sake. The discipline is so
strict that Bobby does not dare to in

occasions.
In the evening, when circumstances
permit and the weather is pleasant,
the men gather around the campfire
and sing the quaint, monotonous Jap

in the company has a samisen, if SO,
the instrument is brought forth, and
to its twanging accompaniment they
chant the old songs, which tell of the
deeds of heroes of old Japan and of
the beauties of nature.
AS there is no profanity in the Jap
anese language, the Japanese soldier
is not profane, in which respect he
differs from almost every other soldier
in the world.
The war cry of the Japanese soldier
when he charges the enemy is ''Nihon

With a Waist Line.

Ribbon and lace are conjured into
some of the very prettiest examples.
This season the narrower ribbons are
best liked, one exceedingly dainty af-
fair being composed altogether of
inch-wide Valcenciennes insertions and
baby blue chiffon taffeta ribbon three
quarters of an inch in width. Even
the big flaring founce is composed en-
tirely of the lace and ribbon.
The moved part of it all is that 1t
has waist line!
This allows the waist part Of it to
set blouse fashion and the lower part
to hang like any trailing skirt. The
two are held together with beading
Through the beading is run a blue
ribbon, which is knotted at the front.
In addition to being an ornament it
keeps the robe from flowing apart at
the front. Worn over delicate blue
taffeta slip this dainty affair is a de-
light, being as loose and comfortable
as it is beautiful. To slip on for an
hour before dressing or after tedious
siege of visiting or shopping nothing
could be more attractive. OF course
this pretty gown is as desirable in
pink or mauve.
