JAPAN IN THE ORIENT.

Consul General H. B. Miller of Yoko-
hama suggests methods that must be
followed by American merchants and
manufacturers if they are to have any
very great share of the far eastern
trade.
The Japanese people enter into most
minute and accurate examination Of
machinery, appliances and merchan-
disc generally This universal charac-
teristic together with experience, indi-
Gates clearly the importance of send
ing expert representatives to Japan in
order to make a success of securing
and holding the trade of this country.
These people have way of asking
questions and of wanting information
that only experts can answer, and per-
sons unable to furnish satisfactory ex-
plantations to their questions will not
be able to secure or retain their trade.
1t is a great mistake to look upon the
japanese as nation of imitators.
Their most important quality of mind
is adaptation. They are students of
applied industry, and things they pur-
chase must he adapted to their wants,
to the habits and characteristics OF
their people, while of the best modern

The Old Clothes Man.

The sentiment Of 1.-THE Old Clothes

that Solomon Levi gives in the play
tomorrow evening. Its easy enough
to be pleasant when life moves along
like song. but the man that's worth
while Is the man that can smile when
everything goes wrong.
Red Feather.
Red Feather" the new comic
opera by Reginald DeKoven, Charles
Klein and Charles Emerson Cook,
with an exceptionally strong COM
pany and all the gorgeous scenery,
costumes and mechanical and cleo
trical effects that contribute to the
great success of the piece during it's
long New York run will be the at
traction at the Metropolitan on Mon
day, March 4. The prima donna of
the company is Cheridah Simpson,
who has for the past three years held
a similar position with the Savage
forces. The story of Red Feather"
Is one of unusual interest. 1t is that
OF a conspiracy. which reacht. a
sudden and successful climax in the
last act, to overthrow usurper of
the throne of the kingdom of Roman
cha and restore the rightful sovereign.
Chief among the plotters is mysteri-
Gus free-rider. RED Feather, whose
identity is unknown until 1t is tune
fully revealed in strict confidence to
the audience. 1t is the Countess Hilda
Won Draga, who masquerade in the
gMse OF cavalier on the roads, while
appearing at the court as a high born
lady. The son Of the usurper, the
Crown Prince, is in love with the
countess, and so also is his captain
OF the guard, and in their rivalry and
the pursuit Of "Red Feather" the ac-
ton of the plot passes. The climax
Is reached when the countess to save
the captain, whom she loves, makes
known her identity with the conspira-
tor, and the army of restoration bursts
the gates. On this Mr.. Charles Klein
has strung incident and dialogue and
action which make an entertaining
book. There is comedy in plenty; the
fun runs clear through the two acts
and there is just enough sentiment to
give relief. The lines are bright and
the jokes are said to be youthful. The
lyrics of Mr.. Cook are witty, brilliant
and fit the music. Mr.. DeKovens
music would however carry any lib
retto. 1t is reported to be in his best
style, sharply original and character
istic.

The Cannibal Convert,

A Catholic missionary priest, lately
returned from his labor in Central
Africa, is fond of relating his struggles
in retaining the cannibal. One in
stance of his success goes to show
how the man eating black will put
curb on his perverted appetite If the
proper influence is brought to bear.
These particular cannibals took
rather kindly to Christianity, and it
was not difficult to persuade them
to come into the fold and abandon
their grosser superstitions. But to
wean them wholly from cannibalism
was another thing. 1t was easier to
teach them to forgive their enemies
than to abstain from eating them.
The man eating custom was not mere
ly cultivated physical taste, but an
approved tradition associated with
their tribal social rites, and the most
tractable and kindly among them
would occasionally turn backslider in
this respect.
The missionary had gained such in
fluence with them that they had aban-
doned their feasts in the village where
he lived; but he knew that cannibal
dinners were given from time to time
in other settlements, and when one of
his converts was absent over night
without assigning good reason for
it, the inference that he had fall from
grace was irresistible.
The missionary's pet convert shared
this failing with the others; but all
the evidence went to show that he had
long resisted his inclinations to the
aeshpots, and was living the simple
vegetarian life. But suddenly he dis
appeared from his teachers ken, and
was gone for several nights. On his
return the priest taxed him with a
relapse to evil ways. and lectured him
severely. The black man listened re-
specially. and then said apologetic-
ally:
Eyes, father, was tempted to re-
turn to the ways of my people. They
held a great feast in the village on
the big river. and could not stay
away. 1t is true that my evil appetite
came back. saw the savory dishes

"The entire circuit would only be
500 miles around. Dividing this by
eight-the number Of teams-the aver
age jump from one town to another
is only about seventy miles. a base
ball team could be transported for
about SIS from one town to another
instead of 500 as in the northern
league"
What kind of baseball would we
have? Well, if am not mistaken the
article of ball would be just as good
as the northern ever furnished Grand
Forks and Fargo, and there would be
much more rivalry. You have either
the north and south teams, or the
east and west teams who would fight
much the same as the northern league
last year, when the contest was be-
tween the teams of the Copper coun-
try and the Plains.
Fargo does not care for northern
league baseball any more, and a state
league seems to be about what they
want. The cities along the Northern
Pacific are all good towns, and will
support a team in first class shape"
What, it is believed, is the best solu-
ton of the baseball problem in North
Dakota, is the suggestion of D. ]. Lax
dial Of Cavalier. one of the hottest
baseball fans in the state. Mr.. Laxdal
was in Grand Forks Monday, and while
here did nothing but talk baseball.
What else can a man talk" said
Dan" when he has been snow bound
all winter?" His hearers gave it up.

Grand Forks, Devils Lake, Rugby,
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-02-26

Minot, Fargo. Valley City, jamestown
and Bismarck is Mr.. Laxdal's plan,
of which brief mention was made in
the Evening Times yesterday.
1T is, / believe" said Mr.. Laxdal at
the Dacotah yesterday 1.-The most
feasible circuit ever taken up. The
towns composed in it are all good
baseball towns. and Minot and Devils
Lake have long been wanting to get
into faster company. Devils Lake
has had league baseball. and knows
what it is. Minot is ripe for league
ball and Rugby is also been trying to
getinto good company this year. They
having been looking for chance to
have some good races, and there is no
reason why a baseball proposition
should not appeal to them in the same
way"
From Grand Forks Mr.. Laxdal went
to Fargo. and later he will go to
Bismarck. At Fargo he talked base
ball.. and at Bismarck he will also
do some thing in the way of boosting
the new league. He expects to be
able to meet a number of people at
Bismarck from the various cities in
the proposed circuit.
Grand Forks wants baseball this
year. and Mr.. Laxdal stated that a
certain local party stated to him the
grounds for park were forth coming.
This seems to be the only thing that
has held matters back so far, but with
the milder weather of the last few
days. the old baseball fever is slowly
returning, and soon the only cure
for it will be good game of the ma
tiOnal sport

Minnehaha's Shirtwaist,

SADIE far from puritanical, is being
waged in America against the peek
a-boo shirtwaist.-Cable from London.
Then appeared fair Minnehaha,
Minnehaha, Laughing Water
Spoke she thus to Hiawatha,
Thus she spoke and made him listen:
Cant you take a little notice?
Can't you see need some clothing?
Must you always spend your wampum
All on bows and feathered arrows?
Will you see your little wiley
Going to luncheon party
Looking like last years birds nest?
Can you never, never, never,
Get move at least approaching
Something like a gentle hustle?
Up spoke then the Hiawatha;
What wouldst have, o Minnehaha?"
Then her heart was filled with glad
ness
Hal" she cried, I'D have shirt
waist
OF the brand called peekaboowis."
Thereupon did Hiawatha
HE him to the nearest knot-hole,
Cut piece from out the knot-hole;
Then he found a darning needle
And constructed such shirt-waist
As would make the heart of maiden
Sing for joy to see such beauty.
Thus we see, in the beginning,
Minnehaha, Laughing Water,
Fairest maid of the Dakotas,
Made her husband, Hiawatha,
Get a move akin to hustle,
And construct lovely shirt-waist
With a needle and knot-hole,
OF the kind called peekaboowis.
