Japan's Women Toilers.

Four-hfths Of the operatives In Jap
anese mills are women. probably due
TO the fact that they will work for less
than the men. who can do better out
side Men are only employed when alb
solutely necessary, such as for bosses,
loom fixers, the heaviest card room
work. etc. Weaving in Japan is almost
entirely woman's job, as spinning is
with us. The fact that the looms are
run almost entirely by women was OF
considerable advantage to the mills
during the war, as they were not af-
fected by the calling out OF the re-
serves.-From Consular Report by
Special Agent Clark.

ROADS, BUT NOT LIBRARIES
Indian Territory's Proposition Z,
Carnegie 20 Build Highways.

Indian Terrftory's Proposition ~
Carnegie 20 build Highways.
A movement has been started at
Muskogee. I. T., to interest Andrew
Carnegie in the proposition Of giving
funds for the construction OF Carnegie
public roads in the new state instead
OF to public libraries writes a MuskO-
gee correspondent Of the Kansas City
Star. A Muskogee newspaper has pub
llshed this proposition. together with
a map showing a road ten miles In
length leading from Mhskogee to In.
dian university, Hyde Park. Fort Glib
son and to the National cemetery be.
yond that place.
It Is shown that this road could be
built for 100000. including a wagon
bridge across the Arkansas river. 1t
would be graded, drained and macad-
nmized and set its entire length with
maple or elm trees at that price. It Is
shown that the amount of money that
is now being given away by Carnegie
would build 5000 miles Of such road
each year and that the benefit to the
public would be much greater than In
cases where the money goes TO public
libraries. This is especially true IN
the new state. where il will be impos
slble to construct roads Of any conse-
quence for several years.
Maps showing this road were 20 be
forwarded to Mr. Carnegie and the
matter laid before him for his consid
Grafton. The scheme is an entirely
original one, and it's reception by the
great benefactor Is problematical.

degrees f., but not exceeding 1850 de-

Tho Fathers Story.

The story Of the disappearance is prob
ably best told by the almost frantic
father. He said:
MY boy and his little sister were play
ing about the haystacks at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning, when the little girl ran
to the house for something. leaving the
boy, who is not quito four years old. Upon
her return, fifteen minutes later. she
could not find him. and gave us the no.
tioe. The hunt began at once
1--WE hunted quickly and all the more
diligently because Of a peculiar occurrence
which came TO my mind.
1.-TWO well-dressed city men had accost-
cd a neighbor Of mine. Ollie Pleasanton,
/ understand, on Midday afternoon and
made searching inquiry about my farm.
They declared they wanted 10 buy IT, They
were dressed as hunters and carried guns.
stating they were hunting for wild duck
along the bay shore Mr. Pleasanton asked
them where their dogs were and where
they had left their team. They did not
make direct answer. In fact. it was alto
sether a suspicious circumstance.
IF my child had mot with any accident
or violence We surely would have found
his body ere this. for never saw such a
search. with every stick and stone over
turned.
Il came to this county on February IS.
and moved TO the farm only last week. NV
wife recently died in Sioux city. Ia.
where We lived and where our children
were born This was my second wife and
we had three children, all young. Of whom
Horace. my namesake Is the youngest BY
my first marriage ] have two older sons.
p and % respectively. who are now in the
West
We are peaceful and congeniaI. and so
far as I know. I have not an enemy in
the world.
1t would be an easy matter to drive 10
the nearest railway station, where a train
could be boarded. In a few hours they
could be out Of Delaware. We have not

ment S1.495. .22S This is a very re-

per cent Of the total pay Of all the en-
listed men for that period. Had every
enlisted man made a deposit the aver
age saving for the year would have
been $3.50, but that is the least inter-
esting feature Of the system.
The figures show that the soldier can
deposit. under the law OF 1872, only

small. the total deposits for the year
