TWAS REALLY UNEXPECTED
He Had Overlooked So Many Chances
to Propose She Thought He -
Hadn't the Nerve.

When he proposed marriage she asked
for time to think it over, relates Lon
don Tit-Bits.
"This is unexpected" she said.
He gave her the necessary time, and
she finally decided that he fulfilled all
the requirements of the situation. Then
they reached a point where they could
discuss matters calmly.
"Of course" he said, jokingly, 1T
wasn't really unexpected at ALL"
"Oh. yes, it was," she replied.
"Absurd!" he exclaimed. "A girl al
ways says that. She knows what's COM
ing and when it's coming, because she is
just naturally an expert in such mat
ters." -.
II thought was, but you fooled me"
she insisted.
"And it was . complete surprise?"
1T was." ~
Il don't understand it," he comment
ed.
WELL" she explained, ingenuously,
"you had overlooked so many splendid
chances gave you for proposal that I
had begun to think nothing would ever
give you nerve enough to speak out, so
it really was unexpected"
"Oh!" he said, and that was all. There
didn't seem to be anything else to say.

In Japanese Hospitals.

The greatest difference between the
work of Japanese hospitals and those
of our country is the formers sim
plicity of equipment and economy of
management. We are apt to surround
ourselves with 50 many 'labor-saving
devices" that the mere care of them
becomes q burden, and in our hospitals
there is generally liberal use Of sup
plies. At Hiroshima the really impor-
tant things, including an X-ray and
photographing outfit and chemical
laboratory, are all to be found, but not
things which are considered unessen-
tial. Bandages from clean wounds are
washed, rolled by hand, and used re-
peatedIy, while laundry is kept at a
minimum by rules specifying the
length Of time bedding and kimonos

"Why little Japan?" asks the critic.

more than that of Great Britain. II
you include Formosa and the, other
annexations of 1895, the Japanese peo.

and they were then increasing by
nearly 100000 year. Japan also has
some very big towns. Toxic has q
population of about 100000, Osaka
between 100000 and 100000, and there
are about 20 others with population
of more than $4,000. Japan has all the
other marks of greatness, including
a beer tax and law Of divorce For

"Yes," said l, something especially

He smiled: 1--WE haven't anything
made up that would call especially fine.
We have a rather short coat of rather
light skins, moderate quality, that will

Ten thousand dollars!" exclaimed. =
Then what would q good coat cost?''
He continued to smile and produced
a number of fine skins-the real i'm
perial sable very dark with silver lights
playing through the soft fur. And he
showed me the price marks, $3.50 q
skin, about ten dollars square inch.
'This is the best Siberian sable" he
went on. "A coat of moderate length,
say 30 inches, requires go skins, and"
"Sixty times $780," murmured.
''Thirty-three thousand dollars, which

CARS DAY or JUDGMENT.
Has the Most Pregnant Opportunity

: - , Of q People.

That the welfare Of millions should
hang upon the will, whim and word
Of single individual-and this 1ndi-
vidual- walled away from all real knowl-
edge Of the peoples condition and nat
ural wishes-is al anachronism Of
tragic proportions-an anachronism
which leads to deplorable assassination
on the one side, and on the other to such
hideous massacres of the confiding in
nocent as took place in st. Petersburg
on Sunday, the 22nd Of January, 1905.
In all the history, says Century, of
man no more pregnant opportunity was
ever offered to "a sovereign than that
offered to Gear Nicholas when his peo-
pie came to him, not with swords and
guns, but bearing petition, carrying
the sacred icons, and pictures Of the
car, and following q cross. The hum
blest Turk is protected In presenting
petition to his sultan; but the white
iczar, the beloved Little Father, allows
his petitioning subjects to be slaugh-
tered like mad dogs. =, @e-s- -"
The psychologist and the philosopher
can ind a score of explanations Of the
conduct Of the troubled, perple1ed and
wrongly advised car on that day of
Judgment for him and for the explod-
ed system Of government which he rep
resents. Yet it remains true that, strive
as he may to undo the awful effects Of
his action on the 22nd Of January, the
doom of the Russian oligarchy was
sealed. Through whatever slow or rapid
processes, by means of whatever wise
concessions or hysterical, commissions,
Russia from now on will advance pain
fully, perhaps with pitiful reactions,
toward some modern and rational form
OF government The new government
may or may not retain imperial forms,
as In Japan. The danger Is that the
blind, brutal, stupid measures Of re-
preston, the grinding system Of I'm
ptrial uniformity, may so inflame the
people that fearful reprisals and
chlmerical schemes Of reform will take
the place Of wise and orderly measures.

NOTABLE EATING CONTEST
When General Vaughan Upheld His
Title as Champion Of Bar

= zone of the most amusing contests
I ever saw" said the man who Is fond
Of e story, relates the New Orleans
Times Democrat, was at a barbecue il
Shelby county, Tennessee, some years
ago, an occasion which had been ar
ranged because of fierce political con-
tesa which was being waged in" that
county at the time. Barbecues are
great factors in campaigns in these
days. They count for much in. Ten
nessee as they do elsewhere. On these
occasions the spellbinder ambles forth;
the fellows with the glad hand, the
smiler, the jollier, the baby-kisser-all
these and more are to be found out in
full force when the barbecue is the
thing on tap. -. -
1t was an event Of this sort that
developed the amusing contest have
in mind and the contest was between
two old confederate soldiers, each OF
who had left leg on battlefield OF
the '6Ts. One of them was Gen. A. J.
Vaughan, as gallant a soldier and as
fine q civilian as Gods sun ever shone
upon. Andrew J. McLendon, thrice the
sheriff Of Shelby county, twice county
trustee, also soldier and civilian OF
note, was the other. They bantered
each other for an eating match, with
barbecued meat as the particular weap-
on in the contest. For years various
men had been trying to wrest the
champio ionship laurels from Gen.
Vaughan, but no man could ever do It.
McLendon's friends urged him to enter
the contest, for he, too, was a man OF
note ct barbecues, and a force for
cooks 4nd walters to reckon with.
'eThe thing was on. I never saw
such eating in my life. The walters
kept coming. A crowd gathered around
the veterans. Stand back, boys said
Gen. Vaughan, good-naturedly, 'and
make room for the bones. Besides
Mac will need air directly The bones
kept piling up. The walters. kept run
ming from the pit to the contestants.
Anybody here got an extra cork leg?'
said McLennon, banteringly. If they
have, chase it out. The general will
need it directly, and he'll need it worse
than he did after Shiloh Both men
kept eating. But it was evident that
McLendon was getting tired. The JIG
was about up with him. About that
time q waiter rushed up with whole
leg of mutton.
"Gen, Vaughan was game. He grab

was going on, and began to eat on 1t
Mel LendoH could not stand the pres

If you'll call this thing off, durn my
