A Presbyterian clergyman was prais-

failed often because the moment they

But the dealer laughed and drew

Ways of the Japanese In Business.

Curious ways the japanese merchant
has Of doing business. A special agent
Of the United States government who
is now in japan gives some illustra-
tions. The buyer, he says, makes no
payment until the arrival Of the goods
If in the meantime the market has
dropped the japanese will often go to
the American and intimate that he Is
not prepared to stand all the loss and
that the American should divide the
loss with him, though to do so might
wipe out all the profit on the transac-
ton. AS a merchant explained, the
japanese see nothing wrong in evading
the letter of the contract, because
when they make a contract they don't
at least In their Enthusiastically
agree to do a certain thing or to make
a certain payment, but simply to I'M
dertake to try to do it. If there ap-
pear certain obstacles In the way of
their doing so they do not consider
themselves bound to proceed with it,

could not mention his name unless al
the same time they recalled the ca
lamites his descendants had brought
upon their kingdom. Those Hebrews
who were the descendants Of Joseph
and his brethren were like a small
tribe of Indians called the Aztecs,
which settled In Mexico. They multi
piled rapidly in numbers until they
overran and captured the whole land of
what Is now called modern Mexico. So
was 1t with the children of Israel in
Egypt They were multiplying so fast
that they threatened to overturn the
throne of the pharaohs.
"Joseph? Who was Josephi I hear
some Of the Egyptians ask. "Oh, /
know" some one answers. ale Is that
Hebrew who was captured by a band
OF rowing Ishmaelites and brought into
this country and sold as a slave about
200 years ago. under one OF the shep-
herd kings called Aphobls. Then the
story goes that he interpreted some
crazy dream Of the king and was ap-
pointed prime minister. Then he sent
to his old home In Canaan and brought
down all his brothers and their wives
and children And their descendants
multiplied until they have become as
numerous as the Hebrews we have
with us today" ,"What! Did all those
Hebrews come from JoSephs family?'
Eyes, all. ALL" Then I hear the Egyp-
tians mutter: Curse him! Curse him.
Curse him" Then the Egyptians for
got all about the days OF famine. They
forgot how Joseph had saved their an
cestOrs from starvation. They only
the fact that the multi
tudes of threatening slaves at their
feet were the descendants Of this an

Alas, my friend, IS it not a fact that
the evil we do will live longer In mems |

sad fact is, though we may have spent
A whole lifetime in good works, yet If |

while the good we do will be

Still Another Reason.

But there is another reason why
those Egyptians ceased to honor the

flowed from the stay of his people In
Egypt were so overwhelming that Jo-

A ROMANCE IN MARBLE.
London to Have the Most Magnificent
Town House In Europe.


Town House In Europe.
London is to have a romance In mar
ble-nothing in point Of splendor like
it in New York, at any Of the exclusive
resorts or anywhere on the continent.
The London Chronicle as well as all OF
the London dailies and the weeklies
contain accounts and pictures Of the
Byzantine gorgeousness and majesty
of the structure. The Chronicle usCJ
finer adjectives, and its account In part
is used:
The somewhat old fashioned exterior
Of Sir Ernest Casseps new residence,
Brook House, now just cleared Of an
intricate network of scaffolding, gives
little idea of the work within and the
remarkable architectural undertaking
that is transforming the mansion into
the most magnificent town house In
London.
Its splendOr challenges consarson
with Arabian Nights" palaces, and
eastern romance is riyaled by present
day actually in the world quest for
material Of service and adOrnment. All
corners OF the earth have been ran
sacked to produce the various mate
rials for the fulfllment Of the owners
hopes and the architects refined
scheme. 1t is now nearly two years
since Sir Ernest Cassel bought Brook
House from Lord TweedmOuth. 1t has
taken over twelve months to quarry
the 800 tons Of statuary marble OF
which the main staircase Is composed.
This marble is from the famous quar-
ry at SarrayezZa, once the property OF
the Popes julius II. and Leo y. Of the
Medici family. Michael Angelo, sent
from the Vatican in 1870 to prospect,
was amazed at the beauty Of the mate
rial, and it is said his report to the pope
deprecated its quality so that he might
obtain a monopoly Of the mine for his
own sculptures. From that date all
of Angeles masterpieces were chiseled
from these Tuscany marbles.
Not only is the actual stairway in
Brook House Of this marble, but the
floors and walls are paneled with the
polished stone. Corinthian columns
seventeen feet in height, hewn out OF
the solid block, give support TO the
upper floor and the great gallery un-
derneath the immense dome. Just
vein of color is visible in these pillars,
and the greatest difficulty has been
in getting such immense
pieces without a flaw.
There is no Roman dining room In
London or In England, when all Is
said, and it is a question if in the
Eternal City itself there Is a marble
dining room of such majestic dimen-
sions as that in course Of construction
for Sir Ernest Cassel. The rotunda-
ike addition to the former structure.
from the Park lane side, Is
N reality a long room with rounded
ends, and the arched ceiling is nearly
thirty feet high.

Joseph Was Pure.

In the first place, Joseph was pure
man in his moral life. He believed
that marriage was more than a mere
name or cloak behind which a man
or a woman could hide a multitude of
sins. He did not believe that as soon
as married men or married women be-
came tired Of their marital partners
they had a right to turn their backs
upon each other as one might throw
away a bouquet Of withered flowers in
order to seek some new wild flowers.
Neither did he believe in the pernlclous,
immoral and damning doctrine that q
young man, because he was a man,
had right to sow his wild oats wher-
ever he would before his marriage and
then on his wedding day swear fidelity
to pure girl and let the filthy buzZard
and the spotless dove set up housekeep-
ing In the same nest. If you do not
believe that what l say is true, read
the Bible account Of Joseph's life in
the house Of Potiphar. His master
trusted him. He gave into the young
Hebrews care all that he had. He
said to the young man: Joseph, there
Is my money, my family and my honor
Protect them. trust you" And rath-
er than betray that trust, Joseph, with
sealed lips, went to poverty and to
fail. Oh, ye brazen llbertines Of higl
life; oh, ye immoral and wanton de
bauchees, legalizing your crimes In
divorce court, come today and sit a
the feet of this young man Of the cas-
and learn the lesson that in Joseph's
sight, as In Gods sight, the marriage
altar is the most sacred place In the
universe, next to the great white
throne
But Joseph was more than morally
pure. He was financially clean as
well. No tainted money stuck to the
palms of his hands. There is many a
man who is morally pure in his home
and good to his family who is thief
and a robber and who will cheat every
one he can fsece in a financial way
BOSS" Tweed, the biggest political
thief New York city ever produced,
was a devoted family man. The great
est gambler and dye keeper of New
York, man who made millions Of
dollars out Of his dens Of infamy and
who spent some years in the peniten-
tiary, loved his familyNwith a passion

Practical newspaper work to the
average man, woman of child, is
something of a mystery. The edi-
tors sanctum, at least in the larger

ed citizen. One of the hardest things
newspaper men in city of the size
OF Grand Junction have had to con-
tend with is the gathering of small
items OF news. such as locals. per
sonals church. society and lodge hap
penings. This has been due not to
a lack of good intention on the part
of the populace but to the lack of
knowledge as to what constitutes
news and a certain dread of rush
ing into print. Mr.. Seabury, who
is an experienced newspaper man in
every sense of the term and who at
various times has held editorial po-
sitlons on the staff of the New York
Press and other notable papers, will
clear away this air of mystery and
doubt in the 20 lessons he is to give
and teach practice as well as theory.
AS this opportunity may never oc-
cur again, at least in Grand Junction
and as there are more than 1000
dailies and over 900 weekltes eX-
tant in the United States today, it
behooves all young people who think
they have a tinge of the journalistic
muse in them, to call on Mr.. Seabury

they are not sure they wish to en-
