that any university in the world has

the emperor Of Japan said in that

with which he practically founded the

rot far from being right.
The moral teaching of Japanese
public schools, however, is consider
ably more detailed than simple
statement of the Golden Rule. 1t be-
gins In the elementary schools with
precepts of tillal piety and brotherly
kindness. In The next grade come in

soon ascerta med that II was the bulk OF
Wilson'S tolle, lions.
Then d trend received pitlful letter
from Wilson in which he reclted that
after making all his collection and
while in a street car plckporkets had
relieved him OF the banks checks and
money, and that, mortified with shame
and possessed with the fear that the
bank officials would believe him
thief, he had determined to disappear
until he could make up his mind Just
what he ought to do.
Investigation by the bank revealed
the probable truth OF Wilson'S story
and also developed the fact that the

thief as Is often done In such cases
had returned the checks and drafts as
they were useless to him.
Now that the truth Is known the
