To Discourage Suicides.

In Japan a favorite method Of COM
hitting suicide is TO throw ones self
over a waterfall. Police are stationed
at several waterfalls adjacent TO the
cities. Near one Of them is a conspi-
cuous sign, bearing these words: DO
not drown yourself here! Intending
suicides are warned that Heaven dis
approves of the utilization Of this wa
terfall for the purpose. This is certi-
fed on the best priestly authority, and
serious consequences in the hereafter
are guaranteed. To drown here is also
forbidden by the authorities"

Since current magazine is entirely
devoted to the life of a woman, whose
name is possibly unfamiliar 10 most OF
us, it may not be out OF place 10 quote
passages from the article, as they are
written in forceful, vigorous language.
There are set forth in the article some
viewpoints with which few of US will
agree, but there is also wildly pictured a
woman who had 90 predecessors, who
will never have a successor, and who has
no duplicates
Now just suppose that you are In
bonds, sick, sore and undone from a
sleepless night trying 10 rest upon a
plank, amid bowling, laughing, 500
bling, cursing mass of humanity. You
have done wrong, to be sure, but your
throbbing head cannot think of where or
what il was-the past seems so murky
and confused. There are steel bars in
front and solid iron walls on three sides
And as you stand there shivering, grasp
ing the bars for support, some one touches
your arm and you look around. But
one glance into that face and your re-
sentiment oozes away.
1T is a woman who speaks to you
she surely is not prisoner and how she
got inside the cage you DO not know.
She does not belong here She is free
there is freedom IN her very glance. A
singular looking woman, tall, mannish,
commanding, with iron gray hair. But
the voice and the manner are those of
woman, motherly. gentle, sympathetic,
kind. Still she does not seem 10 take
things very seriously-her self reliancei is
contagious. She has courage plus.
Half dozen prisoners are trying 70
talk to her, tugging at her skirts, beg
ging her 10 listen 70 them; but she hears
only you, and she makes memoranda
in her note book and passes on TO some

your childhood i was in prison and ye

the sentiments expressed IN Mr.. Hays
note, and that it would give him great
pleasure to convey to his government
the views there contained.
He said. in part:
II am, believe me, most grateful for
your good wishes regarding Haiti. and

States Cor their solieitude for our pros
perity and Independence.
THE Haitians are too proud of their
autonomy to ever think of consenting g
to the least attack upon it. The jeaI-
Gus care with which they have main
tanned it for more than a century may
be a sure guarantee to you that they
will neglect nothing to preserve it In
all its integrity.

touched by the interest which President
Roosevelt has kindly testified to them in
asking you TO dissiDate through frank
explanations the anxiety created by er-
ironeous rumors in regard to the charac-
