Philadelphia, May Ono, no: there is
no truth in the report that there is an
antl-Americau feeling in Japan de-
clarod Marstake :. Togo. secretary of the
Japanese Red Cross Society.
The fact is that Japan looks upon this
country as a sort of mother country. and
We want 20 be most friendly. Most Jap
anese regard their country as a kind Of
child of this land" he continued. "Of
course there was some unpleasant feel
ing aroused by the San Francisco affair.
and maybe some did not like the Ameri-
cans as a result. but everybody does not
know how the Americans are. and now
IT is all right. Some did not understand;
that was what was the matter. The
Americans are welcome and have the
same footing as any one else, and We
learn much from them. Perhaps there
could not help but have been some feel
ing aroused by the San Francisco Incl
dent but that is gone"
How do the people regard President
Roosevelt he was asked.
"Oh. grand" was the enthusiastic re-
ply. Everybody looks upon his as d
hero They place him next 10 Napoleon.
All the students read his history, admire
him, and are proud Of him. Most all Of
them have pictures of him in their homes.
Oh, they think he Is wonderful"

paper Advertising.

The sentiment exhibited in the
numerous articles now printed in
country newspapers for the purpose
OF inducing people to trade at home
instead of sending their money to
mail order houses is good and noble.
but we doubt il it appeals to the
multitude who patronize these mail
order houses.
The more these houses are brought
to the attention of the people the
greater the volume of business they
are likely to do, for this nice talk
about keeping the money at home,
spending it with the men who help
pay for your churches, schools, etc. ,
patronizing the merchant who ex.
tends credit to you when you are out
of money, etc., is only indirect adj
vertisiDg for mail order houses, and
the managers OF these concerns are
shrewd enough to realize this and
make sure of the benefits derived
from it.
The best way in which the mer.
chants in the small towns and cities
can fight the mail order houses is 10
advertise. They know most of ihei,
patrons personally, can show them
the goods before they buy them,
have many other advantages over
the mail order house and in almos,
every instance can sell just as cheap,
If no. cheaper.
If the home merchant lacks fore
sight and is too penurious to prop.
erly advertise his goods, why should
the publisher exert himself to keer
the trade at home for himr If so

How to Preserve Eggs For Winter

There are many ways of preserving
eggs, water glass being now very
largely used for the purpose. The fol-
lowing. however, is very satisfactory
method of doing SO: Take the eggs
when newly laid and place them with
the small end downward exactly per-
pendicular in board perforated with
holes for the purpose. Ii should be, say,
two feet by one foot six inches and
have the legs five inches long, says
Woman's Life. This will enable them
TO be piled one upon another TO
any extent as they are filed Eggs
thus put in fresh from the nests In
August and September will keep till
winter as good as fresh ones not only
for cooking. but eating If you desire
10 be certain that. your eggs are good
and fresh put them in water If the
butts turn up they are not fresh. This
Is an infallible rule for testing eggs.

COLLECTING CHINA.
How TO Buy Correctly and Make the
Best Selection.

Who has ever emerged from china

patterns and designs could one be
chosen that would prove satisfying
through many years OF scrviccI For
tunately tastes have changed during
the past few years, and we are no

set OF n hundred or more pieces, but
we may have several sets for the diff

the Philadelphia North American.
These may bc very simple or very
elaborate, as the taste ana purse al

great care ana due regard To their

but many of the best potteries bring
out most desirable sets both I'm quality

In buying china several points
should be kept well in mind. II Is

How 70 Buy Good Bananas.

When you are buying bananas never
purchase the long thin ones unless you
want fruit which will pucker your
mouth. No matter how well ripened
these thin bananas are. they Will nj

them was packed too soon. The ba-

this time that the banana Is ripened

importer is To have the fruit picked

last rlpening has progressed even
enough 10 tinge the bright green OF
the fruit with yellow. A difference Of
twenty-four hours on the trees at this
time will make difference In the

sweetness aud smoothness which are
characteristic of the ripe fruit.

the report IN the Philadelphia
Record that friends of Mr.. Bryan in
that city had received letters from
him saying he will probably not be
a candidate for President because
he believed he could not receive the
united vote OF the Democracy has
not yet been denied and must, there
fore, be taken as founded IN fact.
Thousands Of Democrats will regret
this decision of Mr.. Bryan, for there
is very general feeling against the
Republican use Of the largest cor
ruption fund ever collected from
Wall street and other interests that
feared his opposition to their plnn-
dering program, which the Republi
can managers promised and amply
provided for. That Mr.. Bryan will,
however, be a strong factor In the
management of affairs, if the De.
mocracy are successful, is certain,
as his breadth of character, his abil-
ity and integrity will always com.
mand the respect OF his party asso.
ciates and will assure MN a promi-
nent position in the cabinet, if he
will accept II.
1t seems 10 me that the action Of
the Bryan organization at Washing
ton in its attempt to dlsparage the
candidacy of some Others who could
be nominated with a possibility of
election was not a wise political
move, and really led 20 Mr.. Bryan's
refusal to run. No Democrat who
hopes to succeed in the coming
election can afford to do anything
to turn away the active support Of
any set of Democrats, whether he
believes they are sincere or not. II
IS much TO be regretted that the
managers Of Mr.. Bryan's literary
bureau have created a bugaboo to
try and scare some thoughuess peo-
pie into the idea that all the oppo-
siuon to his nomination proceeded
from Wall street interests. Mr..
Bryan is not to blame foy this, but
he is made 20 suffer for the action
Of his too ardent and inexperienced
friends Why, there is no more
danger Of The so-calIed reactionaries
nominating the next Democratic
candidate than there is Of the Re.
publicans controlling the conyen.

Widows and Orphans Fund Used for

WHAT MAS PROMISED In RETURN?
Regret that Bryan Will Net Be Presiden-

Factor in Case Of Success.
From oar Resular corresponaenl.

WAsHINGToN, ID. c., Sept IL
The Republicans are getting into a
worse and worse mess through the
further exposures 10y the New York
World of the corruption fund furn-
ished 10y Hartman, Depsw, and the
Wall street interests for the Roose-
vel, campaign in 1904. The large
sums 6lched from the widows and
orphans fund Of the life insurau &c
policy holders, which Treasurer
Bliss of the Republican national
committee collected and Chairman
Cortelyou expended, cannot be ex-
planned away. In fact, all that
Judge Parker claimed before the
election, which President Roosevelt
denied, is gradually proving to be
true and no attempt at restitution
has been made, except that Mr..
Perkins, of the Morgan Banking
Company, paid back to the New
York Life the $50, 900 that he had
ordered paid to the Republican cam
paign fund, but the Republican
managers have never restored a
dollar.
Senator Depew now says no such
contributions will be made again
and that the Republican politicians
''are not notable for a high regard
for their promises" presumably
made in return for the corruption
funds. What the Republican mana
gers promised has not yet been dis
closed. Whether it was immunity
for Mr.. Hartman and other rebate
law breakers, or whether the bank
eIs were promised the use of all the
surplus money in the treasury, eau
only be surmised by the fact tina,
both those interests have received
such favors from the administration,
yet still from what Senator Depew
says other promises made by the
politicians have not been regarded
Those who voted against Judge
Parker because they believed Presi-
dent Roosevelt rather than Parker,
certainly owe him the amende hon.
