Gen. KurOki.

The great hero of the japanese war
has been entertained in a manner befit-
ting his rank the past week and he has
expressed himself as greatly pleased with
his continuous ovations AS he cannot
speak English he has not had chance
to tell us what he thinks of our institu-
lions, our prosperity and our hustling
ways, but he has done lot OF thinking
and goes home with better idea of our
prowess than he could have had before.
"Banzai" has been shouted to him by
thousands of Americans and he has been
given the glad hand on every side. Yet
the little brown man has never forgotten
in all the glamour of the hospitality
that his nation and the United States
will be the great commercial rivals in the
Orient for many years to come, and that
in case of strained relations and a
declaration of war the Philippines will be
the first islands tocapture. 1t is well to
shout "Banzai' with the rest, but it is
well, too, to recall that the great autho-
rity on the .Japanese-a position earned
by 20 years residence among them
Lafcadio Hearn, said that the chief
characteristic of the Japanese was
treachery.

Letter from Judge Bates.

Hon. Elisha May, the former law
partner of Judge Bates, of Iloilo, Island
of Panay, has received an interesting
letter from our esteemed townsman, now
at the head of the court of the first
instance in that Philippine city and we
are permitted to take the following
extracts:

write. am in usual health. Mrs.
Bates is not very well and may return to
the United States this year, but | mean
to stay here until next year and then
return finally.
II have noticed a change in law re-
garding your court. | am not sure that
it will prove beneficial My last term

and ended the LIST of April. During that
period | disposed of from 118 to 100
cases. Forty-eight criminal cases were
tried or dismissed and 68 civil cases
tried, settled or dismissed. You see am
able to try them faster than you >are

empanneling a jury and thejury does not
often disagree. My custom is to decide
the case as soon as the argument is

In case of appeal or exception to the
Supreme court all the evidence is type

The Fascination of Store-AdS.

There is mild sorcery about store
advertisements. They hold an attrac-
ton for the average woman somewhat
stronger than that she feels for the
novel or theater
The why is accessible.
"She" looks at the ads. and has a
rather definite "presentiment" that in
4S hours she will have bought some
thing that she has long thought of and
long wanted-or else something which
she has never thought of at ALL and so
has never neutrality-suspicious. never heard
of, ALTHOUGH reading those store ads.
But, under some conditions, the
smaller advertisers might secure less than
a proportionate share of attention. If,
however, small-space ads. are individu-
alized-if each of them says something
worth while, and says it in a worth
while manner and way-the nall such ads.
will "stand out" in newspaper, and
will enforce ate ntion and consideration.

PRESS COMMENT.
A Good Example.

1t was only short time ago that we
were calling the Japanese a heather
nation, and sending missionaries to
show them the better way. 1t is not
claimed that Japan has become a
Christian nation, and yet the remarkable
spectacle was seen the other day in New
York city of 700 Japanese sailors turned
loose in that city, without one of them
getting drunk, DESERVING or engaging in
disorder of any kind, keeping away
from the Bowery, and visiting Columbia
University in preference. The city papers
chronicled the story and the world re-
marked that the conduct of the sailors
mot only violated all the traditions of
a seafaring town, but they gave New
York it's first real lesson as to what the
average Japanese man who does things
is like" II that is the way these erst-
while heather" act when they are
away from home, according to all re-
ports their example shames some of their
so-called Christian superiors.- Rutland

That Ide Story.
The state press is making a mountain
of comment about an alleged statement
that Gov. lde was expected to deliver
the Vermont delegates to Secretary Taft.
The statement has not to our knowledge
been verified, and even if it were, it
might mean that Gov. Ide intended to
use his influence in the support of his
friend in a perfectly unexceptionable
manner. The matter, as it stands to
date, strikes us as rather petty, and
until something more substantial is
shown, pray deliver us from any more O

BUYING BREEDERS.
Use Great Care in Their Selection "
You Would Do Well.

During the fall season thousands OF
birds will change hands for breeding
and show purposes. Great care should
be exercised in their selection. 1t Is
much better to buy what you actually
need than what you think you want
While there is a great deal OF pleasure
in rearing bird that has won prize
there Is far more pleasure and profit,
says the Northwestern Agriculturist,
in owning one that will produce win
ners.
II about to start In the poultry bust
ness, whatever elss you do, get good
stock. It is better to start with trio
of first-class birds than dozen or
inferior, or even mediocre quality.
Buy a reliable breeder, whose strain
Is established and keep this strain
pure. Do not think you are econo-
MIXING in buying cheap and inferior
stock to start with.
1t is advisable, when investing in
the poultry business. to select the
best specimens obtainable of the
breed which is particularly adapted
to the trade to which you are cater
ing, and this selection should be very
carefully made, since the future sue
cess of your business will depend ma
terially upon the quality OF your breed.

started TO carry off one of the pigeons
In Its talons. Miss Shields quickly
picked up a stone, and throwing It at
the bird made 1t drop its prey. The
hawk then attacked the girl and nest
ling on one OF her shoulders started
to beat her with its wing. After
knocking of the bird with her hands
Miss Shields picked up one of che
tonic bottles, which the party had
been using. and hitting the hawk
hard blow on its head, killed 1t. Except
for few scratches the young woman
was not injured.

Hurry.

To our own age belongs the credit OF
having raised hurry from the degraded
position Of disease to that of a com.
mercial process. Formerly hurry sim
ply brought people to an early grave,
with nothing to show for It, whereas
now 1t is become the means of trans.
forming peace Of mind, which is a
solecism, to say the best OF 1t, into
ready money. Hurry has grown to lie
great fact In life. Even the fashions
take account of 1t, until women are
found doing up their hair in such a
way that they may go the speed limit
without fear Of its coming down. And
the best of hurry is that 1t is its own
sufficient justification. Nobody ex.
poets hurry to have any particular
reason behind 1t any more.-Life.
