TO MAKE JAPANESE TALLER

Communion Proposes That Children
Shall Not Sit on Their Heels.
The japanese government has been
greatly exercised in it's mind over the
low stature of the soldiers, and it ap-
pointed q commission to study the
causes Of this lack of height and to
suggest a remedy, says the London
Globe The commission has published
It's report, and it ascribes the shortness
Of the Japanese to the habit Of sitting
on the heels instead Of on a chair. This
attitude, it holds, had prevented the
legs of the japanese from growing,
and it suggests that the children
should for the future be made to sit in
the European fashion. This Is q matter
In which the query, "Why can't you
leave it alone? applies with much
force
The legs Of the Japanese may be
short, but they are uncommonly sturdy
and are capable Of great feats In
marching. Moreover, it should be re-
membered that a short soldier hears
many bullets whistle harmlessly over
head which would kill a taller man. In
these days Of magazine rifles there is
little advantage in height, SO it is just
as well for Japan that it will certainly
take many generations Of sitting on
chairs to make the japanese tall race.

ROOSEVELT, THIEF CATCHER

Incident of the President's Life ON
Western Ranch.
did you ever hear the story Of how
President Roosevelt when he was run.
ming the ranch on the Little Missouri
and was just plain Teddy captured two
horse thieves?" recently asked ]. b.
Thompson of Faribault, Mimi, Of q
group of friends at the Hotel Mckay
in Duluth, Mimi, says dispatch from
at the time Of the incident and can
vouch for the truth of the story.
Zone day couple of cowboys rode
up to the banks Of the river from the
side on which the Roosevelt ranch Is
situated. They removed the saddles
and blankets from their horses and
dumped the stuff into a boat moored
on the Shore turning their animals
loose. The men were observed, and as
the boat belonged to Mr.. Roosevelt he
was notified. The men in the boat In
stead of rowing across the river, as it
was at first supposed they would, cool
ly began rowing downstream to some
destinat ton unknown. 1t was plain
that they were stealing the boat.
"Mr. Roosevelt mounted a horse as
soon as he heard Of the theft Of his
boat and started in pursuit down the
bank of the river. The Little Missouri
is rather crooked, but Mr.. Roosevelt
came up with them at last and ordered
them to bring the boat to the shore
The men in the boat gave him the
laugh, but Mr.. Roosevelt, presenting
revolver Of the very effective type in
vogue in that country at that time,
again ordered them to bring the boat
to the shore. Both of the cowboys
were armed, but they complied with
the order.
"Mr. Roosevelt kept the men covered
while they approached the bank and
then ordered them, one at time, to
discard their weapons. Mr.. Roosevelt
then turned his horse loose to find its
way back to the ranch and, getting in
to the boat, made the men row him
back to the place where they had stol-
en- the craft. He then escorted his pris
oners to the railroad station at Medora
and took them to Dickinson to stand
trial
Later it developed that the two men
were horse thieves, and they were tried
and convicted and did time for that
crime 1 forgot whether the charge of
stealing the boat was pressed, but
presume not, for horse stealing was the
more serious charge. Horse thieves In
that country got very little considera-
ton in those days, and the horse thief
that got off with term in prison was
lucky"

MODERN CITY LIFE.
Its Saddest Aspect Is the Passing o
the Home.

Its Saddest Aspect Is the Passing Of
the Home.
The passing of the home is the sad
dest phenomenon of modern city life.
The tenement house, which we seek to
disguise under the name Of ''fat," is a
most wretched substitute for the hum
blest of homes. That our people endure
them is an indication of degeneracy, as
it will unquestionably be the cause of
a more rapid descent. 1t is morally
certain that the vigor Of the race can
be maintained only by personal con-
tact with the mother earth from which
we sprang, which nourishes us to her
bosom when we die. Why this is, per
haps no one knows, but it is within the
knowledge of all that the vigor Of the
city is constantly recruited from coun-
try life. To deprive children of daily
contact with the soil is a sin.
The evil Of the tenement house was
not realized until it passed from the
slums, because few of us know how the
other half lives. 1t is perhaps not so
desperate a misfortune to those who
live by manual labor, for they get their
contact with earth in other ways, and
their children, less vexed by the con-
ventions of society, find access to the
soil by some means and pass, while
still young, to the occupations Of their
parents. The most terrible effect Of the
tenement house Is in the families of the
"salaried" class as distinguished from
the ''wage earners" and who fit from
fat to fat, seldom remaining long
enough anywhere for home associa
tons to be formed. There can perhaps
be no home associations worthy Of the
name which are not connected with
piece of open ground in the sole pos
session Of the family. 1t would seem
that in our larger cities this privilege
can no longer be enjoyed except by the
rich.-San Francisco Chronicle.

THE PART HEFTER.


In Actors Success May Not Depend
ON the Number of His Lines.
An actor, known variously as ''expe-
fenced" reliable and good all
found" one who has been said to play
with authority" and whose scholarly
reading of his lines" has been the sub
ject of frequent eulogy, walked out OF
his managers Office with roll Of type
written manuscript clutched tightly In
his hand and look of blended Joy and
elation irradiating his well scanned
face.
1--WE got my new part" he cried JOY
ously to friend whom he met on the
sidewalk, land it's great"
Indeed" said his friend. whats
the character
Dunno" replied the Thespian cheer
fully, "but it's simply great. II you
don't believe me just heft this" And
his friend proceeded to "heft'' the type
written roll, remarking as he handed
it back that it must weigh at least half
a pound.
If this good all round actor had pos
sessed any real knowledge of his craft
he would have known that the failure
he scored was due to the fact that his
half pound part was one Of those
worthless ones which read well and
"heft'' well, but which afford the play
er no opportunity to do anything pleas
ing to the public.
When Mr.. Palmer gave out the parts
for the INST production of '"The Two
Orphans" there was one roll of manu-
script that was the lightest of all and
weighed so little that the part hefters
in the company turned up their noses
in scorn and turned plying glances on
the young actress to whom it was as
signed. Yet that was the part Of Lou
Use, the blind girl, and Miss Kate Clax-
toms performance Of it will remain in
the popular memory long after every
other character in the piece shall have
been forgotten.-James L. Ford in Har-
