A HEROINE-
of Necessity

A way to the right, as far as, eye
could see, stretched the shimmering
ocean, the sunlight dancing on the
waves and turning them into a carpet
Of gold. To the left lay glorious
patches Of purple heather, broken here
and there by big gorse bushes, covered
with golden blooms and soft green
spikes Overhead the seagulls whirled
luzily across a turquoise bay, uttering
their plaintive notes as they greeted
one another in passing.
And one, at least, Of the millions OF
created beings was thanking God at

arms on the slight railing which formed
the only protection from the cruel shin

kind to Ohristabel Tredennis up to now.
She had never known single sorrow
all her life through; twenty years OF
unspotted peace lay behind her. She

SHOULD TEACH PUPILS
TO AVOID GRATING

Bellingham. June S.-Dr. ]. N.
Bowman, of Berkeley university. for
merly member of the faculty of the
Bellingham normal school. delivered
the commencement address at the
graduating exercises Of the normal
school here. The speech was one of
the most striking ever delivered in the
city. His subject was "Graft," and
he was merciless in his denunciation
OF nearly all phases of modern society.
He said that graft is everywhere pre-
valent because we are human, and that
1t is necessary to make a warfare
against it. He especially urged teach
ers to be unceasing in their warfare
on graft and to understand it in all it's
ramItications in order that they might
teach the pupils how to avoid it.
The teacher, he declared, has usurped
the function of the home. It has
become necessary for the teacher to
give instructions in everything from
religion and culture to cooF ing, be-
cause these things are being neglect
ed in the home. During her five
hours with the pupil he said the teach
or must try to offset the evil influences
Of the other hours of the day. His
criticism of parents was a scathing
one.

THE PRIMROSE PATH

The green fans of the chestnut trees
Are all unfolding one by one,
The breath of April's in the breeze,
The long streets glisten in the SUM-
The tasseled lilacs in the square
Are full of mods and whisperings,
While black-bolled poplars stir the air
With hints of happy secret things.
The town is all SO fair and fine,
The streets they make SO brave show !;
And yet-and yet-Corinna mine,
IT'S now the pale primroses blow.
The woods are calling us to-day
Where grassy hills fall fold on fold;
Come, let us take the primrose way
And gather wealth of faery gold.
Put off your dainty silks and lace
For leathern shoon and homespun
gown;
Come. leave this bustling market place
To play the truant out of town.
For though in town the sun shines gay,
You cannot hear the sweet birds sing
Come, my Corinna, come away,
And let us 60 a-primrosing.

be wondering where you are. You
should not take such long walks alone;

ter-of-fact tones reached the poor dazed
brain; she still clutched the photo

saw Christabel looking at it with q
queer expression on her pretty face.

was radiant, glowing.

"Ah, I see you imagined they were

which had meant so much to his COM

wish you good afternoon"
He shook hands, and then proceeded
to lead his patient away, without a
backward look. Christabel turned her
face towards the setting sun and her
lips moved, THANK God!" she cried
fervently.
When Jim Blakiston came home not
many months afterwards on long
leave, he was told the whole story.

happy face In wonder.
"You would have saved her." she an

coottIe June 12.-The Post Intelli-

tsonds the following regarding the jap
onpse situation:
The persistency with which certain
uowa agencies and newspapers in the
rost have, during the last two or three
days, circulated false reports about
tbo Jepanese situation, as if bent on
s.oroking serious trouble between this
ionntry and Japan has caused fir1t as

Tonanese in America to be engaged in
conspiracy to stir up lingo sentiment
in Tokyo.

Work of Politicians
II is within the knowledge of your
oorrespondent that San Francisco in
terests are responsible for the fake. It
il mart and parcel of the campaign
which was made here last winter and
spring, when persons identified with
the corrupt ring of city officials in
San Francisco and the worst elements
among union labor bodies there actu-
sly persuaded the administration that
snti-Japanese feeling is general on the
Pacific coast.
These San Francisco interests are
alarmed because of the recent visit of
Takahashi, Kawakami and Noda to the
national capital, which had the result
of partially opening the eyes of all
Washington to the true state of the
Japanese sentiment on the Pacific
coast.
Administration Indignant
1t is being realized in San Francisco
that there must be an end to the i'm
pudent deception which the worst ele-
ments of the people there have been
trying to work off on the national adj
ministration. The outrageous falsity
Of the stories published today is illus
trated by the concluding paragraph in
the matter published by the Washing
ton Post this morning. 1t was declared
that when Ambassador Aoki invited
Mr.. Takahashi, of Seattle, to dine
with him, Mr.. yakahashi replied, 81
did not come here to eat"
Your correspondent knows that
when Mr.. Takahashi was here last
month he and his associates dined
with the ambassador, that they we're
most cordially received and that the
friendly conversation following the
dinner lasted until nearly midnight.
The administration is indignant
over the stories that have been pub
lished, and the result will probably be
better official understanding of the
real sentiment toward the japanese on
the Pacific coast. Neither the presi-
dent nor the state department believes
that Mr.. Takahashi has been trying to
stir up anti American feeling in Tokyo.

NO need TO FEAR
INFLUX OF JAPANESE

Ottawa, Ont. June 11.-A report
received at the department Of trade
and commerce from Alexander Mec-
Lean, Canada's agent to Japan, gives
press opinion that within a short
time the United States will have more
difficulty obtaining labor from Japan
than it has now keeping laborers out.
There is a growing demand for Japan
csc laborers from almost all the coun-
tries of South America and from Ha-
waii, which promises, with the de.
mand for men for the development OF
Corea and Manchuria, to absorb the
whole of Japan's supply OF laborers.
Within the last few months the emf
grant companies who deal with Japan
csc labor as an export commodity have
filed contracts in Mexico for 10000
laborers.

With pluck that was tenfold more

Mrs, Tredennis had come to the quiet
little village of Croone, on the Dorset
shire coast, because she had happened
to see highly colored print of it in

scenery and the solitude and stayed on.
This was about their last day.

on the soft summer wind. She turned

you ever walked over cliff? Should

Christabel looked round wildly. There
was no one in sight: the only sound
to be heard was the mournful CRY OF
the gulls.
A story she had once heard came
into her mind at that moment.

HE? Who?" asked Christabel, hop
ing thereby to gain time.
The ruse was for a few moments sue
cessful. The woman drew a photo
graph out of her pocket, and thrust it
under the girls nose.
Christabel started; the blood had left
her face, and her heart seemed to stop
beating. 1t was portrait of her lover

an illustrated paper and gummed on
