5000. 100000.
It is apparent. therefore that the
japanese soliier cost his government
very little in the way Of pay, f0r the
immense expenses of transports and
railways must have consumed the
greater Part of 5000 O00 zoe. Indeed.
the japanese merchant steamers en-
gagged as transports must also have
worked very cheaply.
These facts are of serious import
ance 20 other n9t'ons in studying
Japan's capacity to make war a
nation that can get its men for almost
nothing n the way Of pay and its
transports for little more than the
cost Of fuels and repairs will not be
obliged to consider the financial as
pect of a great war so carefully as
would a nation like ours. in which the
government pays the highest prices
and gets the least for its money.
When the detailed report Of the
Japanese finance department reaches
this country, figures will be found in
it that viii enable lis TO make some
very interesting comparisons between
the patriotism of heather" Japan
and the greed of many Christian"
Americans.

Change of the Words Meaning Dates
Back to Monkish DAYS.

Not many people know that what
is celebrated as noon was originally
at 5 p. m. The reason for the change

Noon. or nones as 1t was then
known was he hour at which the
monks said their nones.' which were
prayers at the ninth hour, or o'clock
The monks reckoned time from the
time of eating breakfast at O'Clock
a M That was the eginning Of
their day The monks were not per
mltted to eat their dinner until after
they had said their 'nones' This was
a long time for men who had so much
time to think Of eating They were
all very hungry at O'Clock. BY and
by some Of them cut the time a little
short-prayed a little earlier. As
time went on they clipped off enough
time TO bring The eating hour In its

a somewhat disconcerting experience
While staying at one of the imperial
hunting castles in Alsace she paid a
visit TO a village school a few miles
from Strasburg. Before leaving she
gave the pupils the customary permis-
sion to ask any request they pleased
with the promise that she would grant
it if in her mower to do so Fully tx
pecting the favor would take the form
Of whole holiday or a supply OF
cakes, she was not little embarrass
ed when one of the elder girls stood
up and in somewhat trembling voice
asked that the French language
might be taught in that school. Her
majesty looked thoughtful, but. realiz
ing the necessity of keeping her word,
she gave the required PERM ssion, to
tn great delight of the pupils.

The German press is indulging in
severe criticism of Americans, a.
a result of proceedings in a triaI
showing that German military
secrets were purchased by United

tors admit that Europeans are in
the business of buying the secrets
of other nations, but take the
position that America should be
on a higher plane.

Jedidlah Judklns, Opera House, May IS.

According to custom the senior
class of the Great Bend High
cshool will give their annual play
at the opera house on tie above
date.
The play is one OF those delight
full dramas showing up the life of
the simple minded country folks
who are always ready to give a
helping hand to suffering human
nifty, and the ultimate defeat of
the plans of the deep dyed villain,
whose ambition is to destroy all
that is good in the world.
The cast this year is an excep-
tionally strong one and there will
undoubtedly be a large audience
to greet the seniors this season at
the opera house.
