She had registered as the Countess

when woman is cursed with the same

that Involves many other men and
women. She must use men to secure
those things for her which she herself
is unable to secure. Men must be her
tools, made to do her bidding under
the influence Of her fascination.

many minor examples of this. but now

is sometimes humiliating. But, since
what must be. must be, here IL is: The
hrans of Nippon nave always been with
her women rather than with her men.
And what is more humiliatiDg still Is the
TACT that Nippon women often Guido their
brothers in their own territory. The one
in Nippon whose generalship conducted
the first successful campaign was the
Empress Judge. Under her yictorious
banner the warriors of Nippon marched
through Korea on their foreign campaign.
Tom0e. who fought side by side with the
famous warrior, Yoshinaka, was the peer
of any Of her soldiers. In all the desper-
ate seiges of the feudal days, the women
of the clan, nasinata (spears) in hand.
were always conspicuous for their brav-
cry, and fighting qualities. l have al
ready cited the historic case of HOO
alaSake. Today We are very proud to say
Of Tokugawa Isyasu, the founder Of the
TOkugawa Shogunate that he was the
greatest constructive statesman that Nip
pom has ever seen. Nevertheless. every
historian admits that in the building OF
tho house of TokogMHa it is Impossible To
say how much of its stability and Of the
profound wisdom Of its policy was due TO
the new famous lady called kasugauotsu-
bone. Certainly. after the death of Toku-

Napoleon. the 9-year- old son Of Mr..
and Mrs. George Jenness of 2S5 Main
street, while attempting to have ride
on the HollinSWorth & Whitney Shifter
as it was crossing Temple street at
about 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon
caught his foot on the cover of a cul-
vert of the road bed and fell. He re-
tanned for a moment his hold on the
engine, which caused his body to swing
toward the wheels of the tender and
as he fell both feet We're thrown part
ly under the wheels. 1t is probable
that the right foot as a result may
have to be amputated. The heels of
both members We're scraped clean of
the flesh and tendons and the bone of
the instep of the right foot seriously
crushed so that the removal of the
foot will perhaps be necessary. Three
toes We're also crushed and subsequent
ly disjointed.
The little fellow was Immediately
taken to his home on Main street at the
junction of Edwards street and attend
ed by Drs. f. w. Boyer, p s. Merrill
and c. w. Abbott He was resting
quite comfortably last evening.

NOT EXACTLY A MINT.
Mr.. Beach Didn't Grow Rich Out Of
Housing the Automobiles.

1t appears from conversation which
was commonly heard Thursday morn
ing that there was some dissatisfaction
on the part of the Glidden touring COM
mittee at the prices charged for the
quartering of part of the automobiles.
1t seems that the prices varied from
81 to S4 When the reasons are evident,
attachable to Watervile parties and
that the trouble was caused by Il mis-
understanding.
After the touring committee had
been represented in this city by the
advance agent, II. n. Beach was asked
to provide accommodations for as many
as he could arrange for. He was given
to understand that as many as 100 au-
tomobileS, including. of course. accom-
panying tourists who were not con-
testants. might apply to him for ac-
commodations. He accordingly went TO
the expense of hiring a large canvass
tent which, he states, cost him 800
for the day. Contrary to his eXpecta-
tions. in the tent which was capable
of quartering 100 machines, but Sc We're
sheltered and a few others applied for
room within his shop.
Mr.. Beach says that he took these
chances with the chief object of not
causing any disappointment and did
not think that he would have to charge
more than he had at first intended in
