1LL1TERATE, BUT CAN SPELL.
Feeble-Minded Boy in Nebraska
Walking Dictionary.

OMAHA, Neb., February 4-The Iowa
State Institution for Predetermined Chill
dren, located at Glenwood has several
idiot savants,' who are regarded as re-
markable. One inmate is used as calen-
dar and date record, another is utilized as
a dictionary, another is employed as a
ready rapid calculator and others show the
marvellous but uneXplainable traits of the
learned idiots
DR.. A. r. Schier, assistant superintendent
of the institution, has Just made his report,
as required by the Iowa law. The most as
tonishing case he reports is that of John
s., taken into the institution when he was
twelve years of age and who has been there
twenty three years. He is the mental book
keeper Of the home. When the date of any
occurrence about the institution is desired
as information John s. gives it. He re-
calls without error the date of the employ
ment of any new hand or the entrance or
discharge of any inmate.
If he has seen visitor at the home he
can recall the exact date of the visit, the
condition of the weather at that time and
some of the incidents connected Herewith,
even though it occurred years before any
question is asked him concerning it. If
given the day of the month"; the month and
years of any occurrence as far back as
thirty-fve years John s. will, without hest
tation, tell upon what day of the week the
date fell. Asked how he does it he replies
that he does not know.
Marvellous ability is shown by boy in
mate about sixteen years of age. He can
neither read nor write, yet he can readily
spell any word given him, and as Dr.
Schier says: .He has been tried with I'M
common words time and time again and
never fails to spell them correctly. He is
constantly called upon to settle spelling dis
putes, and is reliable as dictionary"
Both his parents were insane
G. +. H., aged eighteen years, of Danish
descent, can multiply three figures by three
figures as rapidly as they can be written
down. He never fails in his multiplication
feats, but his addition, subtraction and divl-
sion are not correct
A seventeen-year-ol boy. R. G. L., with
out education, Is able to mold the forms of
animals with almost miraculous perfection
Other figures lie cannot make. He was
molding the figures of animals. which from
his first attempt were perfect in almost
every detail

I am most fond is public life." was the
reply. I'm other words, look forward
to the time when shall be back in Balti-
more again, quietly attending to my bust
ness. enjoy performing the duties l. now
have, but my ambition is to be promoted
to private life"
Then you do not care particularly about
living in Washington
1T really cannot be said that I do live
in Washington. OF course, I have to be
there a great DEAL and in the season there
are many entertainments of different kinds
one has to go to. In fact, one is kept
rather old for that sort of thing. and like
nothing better than to be back in Baltf-
more, where l am at home. Baltimore is
good enough for me, and 1 know of no
better or more .homeike city"
At the words too old'' the Attorney Gen.
eral smiles one of his mystifying smiles.
Says Public Life is Unattractive.
OF public life in the United States and
the incentive to men of ability to enter it
Mr.. Bo1aparte has not a very high opinion.
1T is. undoubtedly true he said. that
many of the best men we have in this coun-
try are averse to holding public office,
either elective or appointive. The attrac-
lions OF public life in this country. in mark
ed contrast to many other lands, are very
few. Public life with us is pretty rough
going, and that is fact.
First of all, salaries are decidedly in
adequate for many Offices, and a man of
ability who is making a good livelihood
in business or ore of the professions can.
not be expected to sacrifice opportunity
without reluctance.
Again, the real sacrifices that are being
made by many of our best men are grossly
misunderstood. Their motives are often
questioned. and it is not the pleasantest
thing for a man TO accept an Office with
the knowledge that it means financial loss
and in IL way puts him out of touch with
his business or profession, when he Is
almost morally certain that he will be held
up in some quarters as grasping man
seeking only personal advancement from
the state or nation.
Mr.. Bonaparte's eyes snapped, and he
spoke in tones that left no doubt Of his
sincerity.
Two Years More Enough.
Then, too he continued, there are
those who fear publicity, w''o are so SEN
sitive that they come to fear the cartoons
in the newspapers. AS whole, the press
of this country is maintained at a high
standard as compared with other lands,
but there is too much of a disposition to
run too big and often misleading head
lines The man who reads his newspaper
hurriedly often gets a wholly mistaken
impression concerning the significance Of
the news
In conclusion Mr.. Bonaparte said: II
am looking forward already to the time
when I shall be back in Baltimore again.
and 1 think that two years more o. pubic
life will be all that 1 shall care for"
But there may arise exigencies, may
there not. whereby you could be prevailed
upon to continue longer In once; .,
The Attorney General smiled. then
beamed then broke into laugh, and re-
piled:
well, you never can tell"

Japan's Warlike Spirit.
What War Would Do.

Marquis Ito said last week that, not
even excepting the late war with Russia
tie greatest modern achievement of Japan
was securing a revision of treaties that re-
suited in the admittance of Japan among
the civilized powers. 1t was not likely that
another nation not Christian was ever so
admitted. American and English sympathy
had enabled this
Continuing, NJ. Kokoi said: War with
America would destroy the Anglo-Japanese
alliance.-and Germany would step in, in
triguing for far eastern position. Japan
would be completely isolated. She realizes
that America and England are her sureties
among the powers. If Great Britain could
not afford to remain isolated 1t would be
suicidal for Japanese statesmen to endan-
ger Japan's alliance with her or to ALLEVIATE
American sympathy

Ultimatum Story Causes Laughter
Among Public Men in Toxic.
WARM FRIENDS OF AMERICA
Baron Kaneko Says Japanese States
men Understand Limitation Of
Federal Power.

TOXIC. February 4.-The kilograms from
London reporting newspaper talk of a pos
sible war between Japan and the United
States, and that Viscount Auki japanese
ambassador at Washington, had handed
Secretary of State Root an ultimatUm, are
received here with laughter. Yesterday be-
ing Sunday, most of the statesmen. are
away from the capital. but Vlscount Haya-
shi, minister of foreign affairs. in response
to an inquiry, sent the following message:
Il will see You in the morning. Mean
while say that Japan has not the slightest
idea of going to war with the United
States"
The entire absence of warlike feeling in
Japan is explained by Baron kaneko. for
merly special envoy to the United States,
who said:
The Japanese understand America better
than the Americans understand Japan. A
great majority of the men holding public
positions here were educated by American
instructors and have long studied Ameri-
can institutions. Now, through the press
and az they are helping the people
eminent lies under in controlling the ac-
ton of the individual states. Hence, after
the first phase of the segregation ques-
ton, the people gained confidence in the
sympathy which a great majority of the
Americans still have toward Japan.
Japan's Warlike Spirit.
''Bushido, Japan's moral system insists
that finger shall never be raised against

among the powers to America. In the event
Of the most unfavorable outcome of the

I'm the matter of the Chinese and Rus

then Japan yielded point after point in or

knew, were hostile. The American govern
