JAPANESE CANTEEN
ARMY CONSTANTLY FOLLOWED
BY NATIVE Suffers.
Keen Traders, Who, in Time of War.
Are Ever on the Alert to Get
the Money of the Sol
diers

one who was with the Japanese
army In Manchuria for six months
says In the Boston Herald: "Old for.
eign campaigners remarked in the
held that no army probably ever had
son many canteens In its wake. When
the army was not marching there was
always canteen or two not far to the
rear OF every division. When IL set.
tied down to recuperate after a battle.
canteens were quickly established In
Manchu houses. These carried cigar
cites. writing paper. postcards. beer.
imitation brandy. imitation whisky.
imitation port, imitation sherry, sake
and sometimes Manila cigars.
Japanese are keen traders. Not
200 feet back Of the Nanshan battery
one day, in the seven.day battle Of the
Shake. there was a Japanese peddler
selling cigarettes. Chinese sweet.
cakes, rice and beer to the reserves
During the same battle the canteens
were never more than three miles back
OF the front line of the trenches.
AS the Japanese soldiers pay is
only $1.36 a month, and the army saw
ings banks had, considering that, phe-
nomenal deposits, there was not much
spending money In the army. A bottle
OF beer cost ten cents and a packet OF
cigarettes about three cents.
Whenever there was a firing battle
the commander In chief would order
sake distributed as a ration. On the
mikado's birthday year ago one ex-
ira double packet Of cigarettes was
distributed to each man In the field.
This cost the emperor more than
$4,000. Otherwise. when the dis.
tribution was possible. ten cigarettes
day went with the regular ration.
"One day in an American periodical
received at camp there was a solemn
poem celebrating the abstinence Of the
Japanese from drink
This caused concern among the
japanese officers, who disliked the
emphasis laid upon the difference be-
tween their army and European
army. and the commissary general
told the foreign observers
Our soldiers like drink as well as
any other soldiers. Sometimes they
need 1t when they cannot get 1t, and
we send 1t to them in the trenches.
AS a matter of fact, though the peas
ant at home has a hard enough time
to supply himself with food, he is not
more averse than other people to
strong liquor once he learns the taste
OF 1t. Many man will go home from
the campaign with tastes he never had
before. The manufacture of beer is
still young industry in Japan, but
from the time the process was i'm
ported 1t has grown to enormous pro-
portions. Headquarters, even battal-
ion headquarters in underground
bomb-proof trenches. were always sup
piled with beer or sweet wine. Mar
shall Oyama liked sweet champagne.
The strategist of the war, Ken. Ko-
dema, drank claret with every meal. 4"

LOST A SURE THING BET.
Enthusiasm for Good Roads Cost
Kansas Mule Buyer Quite a
Neat Sum.

Drury Field, of Richards, is mule
buyer and an enthusiast on good roads
He was in Kansas on mule-buying
trip, when he stopped at a small town
west of Fort Scott A veterinary was
preparing a hot application for a horse
with a sprained leg when Mr.. Field
approached the livery stable. A ket-
tie with the water heating in 1t stood
near and men were gathered about dis
cussing how hot the water should be
when applied to the horses leg. They
asked Drury Fields opinion. Mr.
Field said 1t should be boiling. But"
said the doctor, 'the horse never could
stand having his foot put in bucket
of boiling water; it would cook the
flesh from the bone" Not at all"
said Drury. 81 have held my foot in
boiling water for five MINUTES, many
a time and can do 1t again" I'll bet
you $50 you cant do It," said the doc
tor, with thoughts of easy money
drifting through his brain. "Ill take
the bet said Drury, with merry
twinkle In his eye; get 'er to bilin.'
The mule driver has an artificial foot
which he intended to put in the hot
water when 1t should be ready. Mean
while the subject of good roads came
up. and when the tub of boiling water
was ready the mule buyer, excited by
his argument, absent-mindedly put
the wrong foot In the liquid, according
to the statement of t1e Richards Prog
ress, and thereby lost what looked like

Letter from Sheridan, Wyo.

Sheridan, Wyo., huir 20, '06.
Dear Friends: We are he.el: ut
Lida's, after a weeks outing n
the Big Horn Mountains. There
were six in our crowd. We
were nine hours going up to
where we pitched our tent.
We had Il four-hOrsc team and
two saddle ponies. Walter and
Belle rode the ponies about
half the way, then Ida and |
rode them. The road up the
mountains is very rough and
steep in places and there are
places where it is only wide
enough to allow a wagon to
pass through. You could look
up hundreds of feet on one side
and down hundreds of feet on
the other. If the horses should
step a little to one side, only a
few inches, it would mean
death. Yet there are hundreds
of people who go over the road
every summer. There was one
camp a short distance from us,
called the Vermillion camp,
that had twenty-five people in
it, and another a little further
down the creek called the So
ciable Camp, with about thirty
persons. Some one asked us
what we called our camp and as
we hadn't named it said that
it came there without being
called. Well, most every day
we would go to see some new
scenery. When we could drive
we would all go, but only a few
of the places have a wagon
road. Most of them have only
a trail and that means to 90 on

day we all drove up to Dome

On the evening of the 10th a
heavy downpour was reported

was light, though in the larger
part of the state the moisture
in the soil is sufficient for the
present needs of growing crops.
For the corn crop it was the
most favorable week of the
season, and that great staple
has made satisfactory progress
toward maturity. For the
state at large the crop is as
well advanced as usual at the
close of the second decade in
August. The stand is above
the average, and the stalks are
heavily cared. Reports indi-

the ears are passing beyond the
