The story, briefly told. is this Wal
ter Scott, the Death Valley gold miner,
made the trip from Los Angeles to
Chicago last summer on special

Opera" is case of verbal speciali-

originally nothing more definite than
work The specialization, however.
was thorough even in the time of
Dryden, who defined an opera as "a

by verbal and instrumental musick
adorned with scenes, machines and
dancing But the specialization liz
scarcely more remarkable than that

TO the most savage cruelty for most

recall case of great hardship being
brought into the mixed court. Shang'
hal, in which small slave girl had
been gagged with piece of iron and
severely beaten because, when half
starved, she helped herself to some
scraps of food.
Our attention has now been called
to piercing cries which emanate from
house near Canton road and are
said to proceed from a little slave
girl who for some reason is beaten
almost daily with thick knotted
rope. but for what reason is unknown.
"Our informant thinks a word In
public showing that the incident has
been noticed may sufTlce to check the
cruelty without lodging formal com.

which might make matters worse for
the poor little sufferer in the long

Much Ado.

Victoria, b. c., Nov. 23.-Japa-
nese newspapers received by the stea-
mer Shawmut, criticise W. j. Bryan
who is now visiting Japan, because
of his attempt to purchase the war
stool upon which Admiral Togo sat
when the ShintO ceremonial in Uyeno
Park in Toxic. to celebrate the naval
triumph, took place. The stool that
has been used for similar purposes for
centuries, since 1907. has been hand
ed down in the Ogasawara family of
Shinto priests, which family alone
has authority to conduct such cere-
monies.
As told by vernacular Japanese
newspapers, William j. Bryan went
from Yokohama to attend the ceremo-
MES, and asked to be permitted to
sit on a seat of such COED omen. No
objection was made but as the story
runs Mr.. Bryan then tried to purch-
ase the heirloom. As lie had sancti-
ty in japanese eyes there was only
indignation. The owners replied in
dignantly that the war stool was rot
for sale. The Jill Shimpo says the
chair was finally handed over to Mr..
Bryan, at his earnest request, after
family consultation of the Ogasa-
wara.
Learning after leaving Toxic of the
special character of the chair, Mr..
Bryan returned it to the Mayor of
Tokyo, with a letter explaining that
he had no idea of the stools excep-
tional value to the 0gasawara family
and under the circumstances should
not think of retaining it. One To-
kyo paper says Mr.. Bryan secured
common chair upon which Admiral
Togo sat from restarateur of Nyeno
Park.

what can compare with the depth and
sentiment Of that emotion? We can
no more be grateful on requisition
than we can be witty. OF clever, or
amiable to order. We know we ought
to be thankful many times when the
heart is unresponsive. But it is well
to be reminded of our duty. 1t is
well TO be aroused TO the need of sem
timents which, perhaps, we don I
possess in a great degree Gratitude
is one of the sweetest of human ma
ture. Like the dew on flowers, it
brings out the fragrance of charac-
ter. Its absence creates quarrels, un-
lovely and cruel types of selfshness
aud greed
There is the beauty of holiness in
this feeling as it touches our rela-
tons with God. The poor man who,
sits down TO his one turkey, a year
might shame our rich feast and over
feeding. The poor child, with her
little cheap treat, in her naive Joy,
is an object lesson to the pampered
and needless. Her destiny seems
sad and her fate iron-clad, but t h e
small relentings come as riffs in the
clouds that let in beam of warmth
and light and awaken love and ten
derness.
Part OF the evil Of too great pros
perity is a certain induration of SEN
timent that prevents the yelling up
of this simple emotion in the soul.
We take the good the gods provide
too much as our right, because we are
favored of fortune and selected to sit
in the front seats of life. We com
plain sometimes that those who re-
ceive our charity maintain a stubborn
attitude of unresponsiveness. But
have we a right to expect one of the
most beautiful sentiments hlman ma
ture is capable of in return for our
dole of food and hannel2 Manifest
