Japan and South America.

Japan, according to reports from the
east, is to establish a line Of steamers
with South America. The purpose is
to get cheap wheat from Argentina.
Rice eating, even in the army, is giving
way good deal to bread made from
wheat or from mixture OF wheat and
rice or other cereals. AS will be seen
by reference to Japan's wonderful work
in 19O4-O5 in trade, that country 10
bound to 60 out to the ends OF the
earth to buy and sell. The Japanese
government recently charged its repre-
sentative in Brazil to collect and report
information concerning present rela-
lions and possibilities between Brazil
and Japan, with view to their further
development.

There never was time whom judiCi-
Gus advertising, advertising that means
what it says and says what it means,
stood for as much AZ it does today.
Yet Thousand aye millions Of dollars
are thrown away by business men who
will not break away from the mode Of
their fathers to adopt the same modern
plan in advertising as they do In the
handling of other branches Of their
business. The immense editions Of
flaming posters that are printed and
nailed to telegraph poles for people to
pull down and read, do not bring the
returns their publishers hope and inn
agine they will. The shrewd up-to'
now business man realizes that we are
living in newspaper age, and as'JOhn
Wanamaker once said, modest adj
vertisement in Cleanly.printed week
ly paper lie worth more to man who
has goods.to sell than 5000 Of the most
flaming posters man can write and
printer print. WhyP For this reason,
The.man who subscribes for weekly
newspaper, wants 1t to read himself,
wants it for his wife to read, for his
children to read. II comes into the
home under a strong bond Of protec-
ton than almost any other article that
enters the family circle. The man
reads it and carefully lays it up for the
wife, who also saves it for the children
or lest the husband may wish to peruse
it further. The most modest advertis-
ment in such paper cannot fail to be
seen. How with the poster. Give q
man one upon the street and he will
drop it before you are out Of his sight.
He knows its just an advertisement
and not one in hundred is carried
home. The man who imagines he can
turn trade to his store by circularizing
his sections, is just wasting his time
and throwing away the money it costs
to print and circulate them. There is
on the other hand not weekly news
paper in the country, If in the hands of
a man Of sense and judgment, that is
not bigger and stronger and more
powerful in the community in which
it is published than is any business
house, bank or politician who ever
lived. Wise business men recognize
this fact and respect 1t.

The student who attempts to keep up
with the question OF rate legislation
and to find for himself an immovable
basis upon which 70 stand and be sure
OF his footing. is a sage indeed. The
fact is that the politicians must ind
some old rag to shake In the eyes OF
the people ever now and anon, and
this railroad rate discussion has GER
tainly been worked overtime. So long
a. the laws Of the country are all
framed as protection to property. no
matter how acquired, and no man can
hope to secure q seat In either branch
Of congress ct the hands Of the major
ity party, unless he 10 welded to the
property before man system, that long
will all such efforts AZ the present end
in SMOKE and perhaps little noise.
When the smoke shall clear away and
the din discussion has ceased so that
the sky is clear, it will be seen that
the railroads are masters Of the situa-
tlon. and have simply been enjoying
the racket pretending to be pointed
toward them. When the personne
of the United States senate is closely
scrutinized, and the members are
viewed in their true characters, it will
be realised that this great legislative
body the highest In the world is purely
and simply a great corporation lobby.
How any hope can be INDUCED for the
enactment that will in the least res
trict these greaU corporate interests ct
the hands Of q senate composed in
the greater part of their paid attor-
neys and stockholders. is plan of tax
ing human creduility beyond it's nor
man tension. Probably 1t is . vision
airy dream, but it is nevertheless q fact
most informed men must admit
that the only hope for the people to
have anything to say in the regulation
of the railroads OF the country lies in
the actual ownership Of such public
utilities by the government and this
even must be also supplemented by .
more intelligent ballot than the aver
age American is at present depositing.

the crocodile knocked her in with its
tail, seized her in its horrid NOUN and
dragged her away.
Her husband determined to be
avenged and for several nights waited
in canoe with loaded gun. He, too,
disappeared, and it is thought that the
crocodile. knocked him out Of the canoe
and took him in its hole under the
bank.
A week later 1t got another man and
carried him to an island. Here ita
victim got hold OF the reeds and strong
grass and screamed with all his might,
and gang Of men with crowbars went
to rescue him. This they succeeded in
doing and also staying the dangerous
monster.
One of the lions killed had also filed
up the measure Of its iniQuity. The
scene Of its depredations was native
village north Of the falls. In a hut Of
reeds a woman was sitting when the
lion walked in and seized her, carrying
her away to his lair in the bush. Then
he fancied an OK in an Enclosure with
other cattle and donkeys.
The lion, failing to get into the in.
closure, so frightened the animals that
they rushed in mass from end to
end, and their weight upon the palisad.
ing broke it down. They rushed out
through the opening, which was Just
what the lion wanted.
After the OK he selected donkey
and then a sheep and then anotherox.
The natives became panic-stricken un.
til some white men told them they
would sit up all night for the lion and
shoot him. The lion came and got
away with another OK, for the white
men had fallen asleep. However, they
were able to track him.
1t was important that having prom.
Used to kill the lion they should do 30,
for that is the secret If the white mans
power over the native-never to break
his word. So they set on to the thick
brush, whittier the lions tracks leo
them. There they came upon him ar !
killed him with one bullet. Near by
was the carcass Of an OK, and a little
farther in the bush, In sort Of tunnel
Of impenetrable thorn, were the gnawed
bones-the remains Of some Of his for.
mer victims.
