JAPAN TO KEEP WAR FOOTING.
War Minister'S Speech at End o:
Maneuvers at Toxic.

TOXIC, November 20.-The grand army
maneuvers closed yesterday. At their
conclusion a luncheon was given by Min
lister Of War Terauchi to the foreign mil
itary attaches and newspaper correspond
ents, at which the emperor was present
In an address Minister Terauchi said that
while the maneuvers had been most ex-
tensive since the close of the recent war
they were necessary in order to maintain
a high standard in the army.
The great powers were constantly i'm
proving their armies, and it was neces-
sary for them to do the same in order to
insure equal efficiency. The soldiers of
Japan should not be satisfied with the
glory won by their achievements in the
last great war, but should seek always to
improve. This did not necessarily mean
preparation for an immediate war, but
was only in accord with the duty of all
great nations.
An imperial garden party was given
yesterday. The emperor and the empress
did not attend on account of indisposi-
ton. but were represented by the crown
prince and princess. About one thou
sand persons were present. A number of
presentations were made, including Mrs.
Joseph Stickney of New York, her niece.
Miss Caroline Reynolds of Rhode Island /;
Mrs Rodolphe Lemieux of Canada and
other ladies connected with the foreign
embassies.
The Japanese government is anxiously
awaiting the return from abroad of Hike
Yiro lshii, chief of the bureau of com
merce of the foreign office, who is ex-
pected about the end of this month II
Is stated at the department of foreign
affairs that negotiations concerning Japa-
nese emigration to the United States and
Canada will necessarily be delayed until
MS arrival. as he was a special commits
s1oner sent to America for the purpose
OF investigating the subject and reporting
so that the government could reach its
own conclusions. Meanwhile within the
last week private instructions have been
sent 10 the inspectors at all posts to ex-
erclse most vigorous supervision over emf
grants for all points, and especially San
francisco. because recent investigations
nave shown negligence resulting from the
passage OF a number who were not quail
fled to be classed as students.

Webster, choate and Edmunds.

I once heard the distinguished Sen
ator Edmu1i11s from Vermont, when he
he was a leader in the senate, tell this
story of his young days:
He was Il student Of law and was
making his first visit in the city of
Washington. OF course the supreme
court interested him greatly. The law
library was close at hand and was by
far the finest law library which the
was not listening in the courtroom, he
was apt to be reading in the library.
One day he vas sitting happy in all
alcove. reading in a black letter trea'
tise which he had eve seen before,
There entered from the courtroom
without observing him, two gentlemen
in. earnest conversation. These were
Daniel Webster and Rufus Choate
eagerly discussing some intricate point
They had come in from the courtroom
to talk it vel. They paid no attention
to the young man who sat reading, bu1
he could not help but hear, and 1 think
he had q right to listen. At a critica
moment in the discussion he turned
over the leaves of the quaint old book
put his finger on an essential passage
and handed it to Mr.. ChOate. ChOate
read it quickly. as he did everything
and passed it to Webster, for it wholly
confirmed his argument.

Webster read it in his turn and
passed it back to Edmunds. II am not
obliged to you at ALL" he said. with his

"Ill carry you," he offered, but she
protested, ooh, no.; they are coming

The pigs were rampant now and

sheep were so frightened that their
eyes were wild, and they stumbled
over the rough road.

The minister caught at the violet rib

woolly sreeds up with a jerk.
"Unharness Them" he said to the
man in pink.

the little woman in scarlet.
"AIiss Lester was to reward the win.

But the minister was pulling off the

"Take them home, jock" he said to
the collie. and to the protesting crowd.
'"They happen to be my sheep, and
can't have them killed in this way"
Freddie Fairfax came back with the
pigs in tow.

said insolently.
In a flash the minister faced him,
with clinched fists, but it vas Eleanor
who cried Indignantly, "Do you think
he cares about the money, Freddie"
She drew close to Macdonald us she
said it, and the minister thanked her
with his eyes. Then, as he noticed her
deadly paleness, he cried, 1--WE must
get you home at once" and in explana-
ton to the others, "Her ankle is in
pretty bad shape"
Freddie Fairfax dropped the lines,
and the pigs made a break for free

The Round Robin.

The ground robin" had it's origin sew
eral centuries ago in France. &
It was used there by officers Of the
army as a method of expressing their
dissatisfaction with the course of the
king or his ministers. BY signing in a
circular form the leaders of the move
ment could not be ascertained and
singled out for punishment.
The first instance on record Of the
use of this. form of protest in the navy
occurred in 1925. At the instigation of
the Duke of Buckingham, the kings
%favorite, an English feet, under Ad-
miral Bennington. was dispatched to
Rochelle to assist in the coercion Of the
Protestant subjects Of Louis XIII. of
France. But the English tars, in COM
mon with their fellow countrymen,
looked with favor upon the resistance
Of their coreligionists against the pros
elyting zeal of the French king, and
they signed a ground robin" express
ing their determination not to fire a
shot against them, and without wait
ing for a reply they weighed anchor
and brought their ships back to Eng
land. The admiral, however, received
a peremptory order to return to
Dieppe, whereupon the whole Of the
crews quilted the ships without fur

Why Bill Was Umpire.

A cricket match was being played III
a meadow adjacent to Farmer Cow
sticks orchard, and the worthy agri-
culturist was at the wicket.
There had been great difficulty about
an umpire for this match, and when a
boy from the local school for young
gentlemen volunteered to act he was
gladly accepted.
Presently, to all appearances, the
farmer was run out, but the umpire
said no; and in the next over he was
obviously stumped, but still the deci-
sion was in his favor, much to the
wicket keepers disgust. Then when
the farmer had compiled w fifty
runs, he was palpably "leg before"
"'Ow's thaty" called the bowler.
The youthful umpire hesitated over
his decision and looked uncomfortable,
with a nervous glance. over his
shoulder in the direction Of the or
chard.
Then a juvenile voice hurtled across
the meadow from the direction Of the
lane:
"You ran give the old bloke out
now, ~Billy-we've got all the plums we
want!'
The farmer didn't wait for the Off
cial decision. nor did the umpire stay
to give it.-I4ondon Telegraph.

grandnieces of Ezra Grey came to live
in the old homestead John Norman,
grandson Of William the Offender,
was more than ready to bury the
Ratchet, and it was his irony of fate
that he should fall in love ut sight
with Helen Grey.
He was rich and popular and the
most eligible of Rosedale bachelors.
He had never before been anxious in
regard to friendship with women.
During his thirty-six years there had
been so many things that he had con-
sidered more important. But for the
past four months he had planned and
schemed to reach a friendly footing
with his neighbors and had failed.
They quietly ignored his friendly ad'
vances, snubbed him a few times, and
now the fear of marring the armed
neutrality kept him from overstepping
their limit. &
AS Helen settled beside him in the
tram, he was very conscious Of the
pressure of her arm against his and of
the weary droop of her pretty head.
He had had her under espionage all
day and this accounted for his unusual
proceeding, going back to Rosedale by
trolley.
He was eager to take some Of the
heavy bundles that incumbered her
lap, but he dared not make the sugges-
ton; her shrinking movement from him
and her unfriendly glance were earnest
Of a rebuff.
Twilight deepened, and the lights
twinkled in the car. When there was
elbow room, she must tie her loosencl
shoestring. She made two or three
attempts to reach it, but to tie a shoe
in a crowded car, with bundle laden
lap and gloved fingers, is no easy feat.
John Norman was aware of her eff
forts, as his foot was beside hers on
the rail of the seat ahead. When he
felt a sharp tug at his shoestring, he
understood its significance. He knew
also by the energetic twist that the
offending string was tied in Il hard
knot and that was as it should be.
She signaled the conductor to stop
at a corner some distance from her
home, rather than at the nearer one,
where they must alight together. He
understood the significance of this also.
She was getting off, bundle laden, to
avoid the possibility Of any association
