The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-11-25

A Letter from Japan in the November
Atlantic, written by the late Lafcadio
Hearn from Tokyo so recently as
August LIST, is far and away the most in
teresting and instructive picture of
Japan in war time that we have seen.
All the world knows now some
thing Of Mr.. Hearn's wonderful devotion
TO his adopted country, but this study
of her mood in time Of critical trouble
is at once full of news interest and a
very illuminating biographical docu-
ment. Every one who is interested,
whether in things Japanese or in Mr.
Hearn's fine and mystical genius will
wish to read and re-read this admirable
letter.

OF overalls in pail of gasoline when
a spark from his pipe fell into the pail,

the Italians, most of whom had been
asleep. They fought madly to escape
from the burning man. one leaped
from a window and was picked up
with a broken leg.

ished were trampled upon in the rush
to get out. Their badly charred bodies
have been removed.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, it's nutri-
ment is destroyed by Indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifies the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..
Green's reliable remedies at D. A.

Cut a Whale In Two.

When near Chemalpo, the look,

chino saw a large whale 100 feet
long taking the air on the surface
of the sea. Thinking the whale
would move away, the cruiser kept
on her course, with the result that
the huge creature was cut in two by
the keel of the warship, which was
doing eighteen knots an hour. The
Sea for hundreds of yards round be-
came red with the blood of the
whale, and the warship steamed for
over a mile in the encrimsoned

that the Federal court had appoint
ed at his own request receiver for
the dry goods establishment Of John
Fiddiek Of Galena. Liabilities are
given as two hundred and six thou
sand dollars, with assets at one hun
dred and twenty-nine thousand. 1t
is more than sixty years since Mr..
Fiddick located in Galena and he
has been identified with the dry
goods business at that place practi-
cally ever since. He always enjoyed
spotless reputation for hone oty
and was regarded as safe and solid
as any banking institution in the
county. The signing of certain pa
pers individually when he should
have signed them as president is the
rumored cause.

Dsshing, Dangerous Ride.

Monday morning while Miss Tenn
perance Knight was being conveyed
in a buggy by younger brother
from their home to catch the I 80
train, the former returning to Platte
vile to resume her studies at the
normal school, the horse became
frightened by piece of moving pa
per or something similar in the vi
entity of Jas. Kitto's residence. The
animal plunged into "A run, but by
the lads presence of mind was steered
straight ahead. Upon reaching Louis
Graber's corner where it was neces-
sary to turn, zip over was narrowly
escaped. From thence on was down
grade, and despite the fact that both
occupants of the buggy were Juggling
nell down High street. When III
front of Brewer & PenhailegonS
there was "a swerve to that side.
thence by intent of Miss knight who
then had the lines, or by chance, the
horse quickly veered to the opposite
side of the street, crossed the cement
gutter and walk and came to u halt
on the park ground by the small
drinking fountain below the city hall,
with nobody or nothing hurt. 1t was
a swift, perilous ride, and had the
horse continued down High street,
the possible result makes one shud-
der to contemplate. The grit and
presence of mind displayed by the
occupants of the rig was remarkable.
Miss Knight walked to the depot
from the point whore the horse
stopped, and her pocketbook, which
dropped from the buggy just above
the u. S. Hotel, was discovered and
taken to her at the station before the
train pulled out.
