The Example of Japan.

The progress of Japan carries with IL
lesson which the other powers Of the world
will do we'll to learn. without the believed
advantages Of western civilization, the land
Of the inikado has made her way silently,
without pomp and announcement, in the
family Of nations. Hardly over three de-
cades ago Japan laid aside her samuri-
her traditions Of the past-and began her
lesson as a pupil of the western nations
retaining, however, the diplomacy and
strategy Of the orient until now she pre-
sents perhaps the strongest sight Of the
composite picture of development Of phys
ical and intellectual power. Now, after her
success In her struggle with Russia, she
has already aroused a feeling Of fear and
suspicion among the other powers.

Acceptance by the Park board OF the

The propriety of the ordinance intro
duced into the city council threatening
with dismissal any city employe who
assigns his salary claims is decidedly
questionable. However much we may
deprecate the practice of warrant shaw
ing, the accrued earnings OF any person
belongs to himself whether he works for
the city or for some private individual
or corporation, and he has a right TO
make such use of his earnings. as he
thinks best. II the city would establish
rule of dismissal for deadbeats and
standing off admitted and just bills
without good excuse. It would hit the
target nearer the center.

He was sitting directly beneath an
electric fan and when he drew a cigar from
his pocket the attentive waiter lowered
near with an opened bill Of fare.

he explained to the patron. let me

The man drew from another pocket one
of the flint and steel lighters, there was
whlr of the racket wheel, a flying spark
and the end OF a slow match was famed
into a glow.
The next evening the same customer
drew out a cigar, bit OF the end and felt
in his pocket for a match. There was
sharp click at his back and the waiter held
one of the same sort OF lighters.
TITS going to save me an hour or two

gentlement lights this evening, and one Of

No one in Omaha, except possibly a
few political pinheads, begrudges the
money annually appropriated by the
cityrfor special~street illumination dur

preparation is small contribution on
the part Of resident and nonresident
taxpayers for the benefits which all en-
joy as the result of Ak-Sar-Ben' activ-
ity. 1t would not be asking too much,
however, under the circumstances, TO
insist upon something new in the ar
rangement of the lights instead of a
mere repetition of stereotyped effects
that we have had year after year. A
little variety and novelty in Ak-Sar- Ben
street Examinations should cost nothing
extra and yet offer something that will
satisfy visitors.

Omaha can always profit by judicious
advertising. The dissemination Of in
formation of the wonderful building
progress Omaha is making is sure to
attract favorable attention to our city.
There is no good reason, however, for
getting ahead of the game and attempt
ing to advertise Omaha by representing
as assured facts projects that are only
"in the air" Omaha has in the past
suffered more harm than good from
trumpeting abroad schemes that never
materialized, and just now there are
plenty of improvements actually in

In HIS series of lectures to the Teach
ers' institute at Chicago Chancellor An
drews of the University of Nebraska
has come forward as a defender Of the
so-called "fads" in the public schools, in
Guiding specifically music, drawing,
painting and calisthenics, with special
emphasis on manual training and the
domestic arts. In his view, educators
who say that these subjects are not
practical are themselves not practical.
In indulging in such generalitles, how
ever, Chancellor Andrews does not help
out the situation. Teaching so-called
"fads" may be practical in one place
and not practical in another-it may be
practical in one school district where
they have money to burn and decidedly
impractical where the resources will
warrant only the teaching of educational
rudiments. The most practical educators
are those who recognize the limitations
Of existing conditions and try to adjust
themselves to them.

When taking his brindle bull puppy out
for an airing one morning William zitman
Of 4l0 Fifth street got only as far as AIS,
when a lanky cat shot out OF the basement
there and proceeded to make shredded
meat of that puppy. At the same time
Zitman noticed John Schlop, the owner OF
the cat, smiling complacently at the win
dow.
Zitman didn't say a word. but took his
dessicated dog back home, while the cat
licked her chops and paws.
Ten minutes after that Zitman came
along again with another brindle bull. Any
thing except a coclSy cat with a series of
unbroken victories would have known It
wasn't the same dog at all-only the same
breed, backed by age and sinister burrows
that made his countenance quite unpleasant
to look at.
II was the same cat, though, but only for
minute, and then there wasn't any cat
only a bulldog with face of wrinkled
remiriscence.
Then the owner of the cat said things to
the owner of the dog. With this brief in
PRODUCTION both men fell down the basement
steps and mixed in a beautiful tight where
neither biting nor scratching was per-
mitted.

Frost Makes Fat TurkeyA
 "Cold weather makes fat turkeys, said the poulterer.
 Why"
 Because in a warm fall the ground keeps soft, the vegetation fingers on and the fields are full of worms and bugs Whats the result? The result is that the turkeys. from sunrise till dark. tramp the tempting fields on Fons forages, eating the worms and bugs. which thin them, and walking all their soft and fine flesh into tough, strinsy muscle.
 "A cold fall, with early frosts and snows, freezes the ground and kills the bugs. Then the turkeys are not , tempted to wander. They loaf in the farmyard, gorge an abundance Of grain, and put on flesh like a middle. aged woman at a seashore hotel.
 But in . warm fall, hunting the tr- resistible bug, the turkeys do their 15 or 20 miles regularly, and become ath- letes. For athletic turkeys there is no public demand"
