There is no doubling that the United
States anticipates trouble with Japan,
and the talk Of war Is no longer con-
fined to the chronic alarmists. The
sailing Of the battleship fleet for the
Pacific and many events OF minor i'm
portance that have attracted little at
tention go to confirm the belief. Presi-
dent Roosevelt recently sent for Sena-
tor Flint, of California. and urged upon
him the necessity of increasing the ap-
preparation for the purchase OF pow
der SO as to have large surplus ready

agreed to support the measure provided

THE CAPTAINS REMEDY.

A young woman who recently made
trip to Europe decided to consult the
captain Of the ship as to the best pre-
yentive for seasckness. Having armed
herself with letter of introduction to
the officer she waited until the ship
had cleared Sandy Hook, says writer
| in the Bohemian, and then approached
him. She described her fears, and beg
ged for 8 remedy.
"My dear lady" replied the captain,
with an amused smile, you will not be
troubled with any illness if you will do
what l tell you. Most ladies confine
| themselves to their stateroomS, and
thereby incur the very thing they fear.
Now if you will stay on deck, get all
the fresh air you can, walk up and
down. take good physical care of your
self, and try not to think Of trouble,
you will never be seasick.'
| The lady thanked him. She followed
| the directions faithfully, and when the
| ship ran into the tail end of heavy
northwest gale, she never felt a qualm.
| She appeared regularly at meals, and
| enjoyed herself thoroughly.
AS the gale was abatins, she be-
| thought her that it was due the cap
| tain that she should thank him for
his good advice, and approaching the
| deck steward, entrusted him with a
message asking for an interview. In
due time the steward returned, saying
| that the captain was unable to grant
| her an interview.
why not?" she questioned why
| won't he see me?'
"Captain,s compliments, miss" said
the steward, but he's suffering with a
bit of seasickness. Which as lasted
| two days now, an he amt in shape to
talk to you"

Grass widows are never as green as
they pretend to be.
A woman seldom laughs at P mans
jokes unless she has an ak to grind.
n woman cares not who listens so
long as she is permitted to do the
talking.
The reason widows are so successful
with men is they know the things not
to know about them.
The chief reason girl wants to get
married is to prove to anybody who
doubts it that she can.
You can buy off your wife from TAX
ing her $50 allowance by giving her /,
50-cent bunch of flowers.
What woman can't understand is
how man refuses to be happy over
his ship coming in some day.
When man is labeled a cynic it is
a sign that he has managed to elude
some woman who tried to marry him.
There's nothing makes man feel
queerer than to have his wife describe
a play to him all wrong when he can't
correct her because he told her he
didn't go to it the night he worked late
at the office.--New York Press.

embody with beneficial results the prin-
ciples of the German system in dealing
with petty disputes. 1t is perfectly
proper that cases involving large
amounts or important questions should
be gone into with care and due ex-
pense. But the extortionate rate which
Americans pay for justice in small
things is proverbial. The Germans deal
with these things in an eminently SEN
sible way. An American tourist who
inquired why there were only four law
yers In town of $4,000 people in Ger
many, was told that the civil cases had
been reduced to a minimum because
every such case had to be tried by
three conciliators appointed by the
Mayor Of the city before it found it's
way into the courts. If the judgment
of the cons1liators is not accepted the
case then goes into court, but the loser
has to pay all the costs, including at
torneys' fees, so that the Judgment Of
the conciliators is usually accepted.
The cOnciliators receive no salary, but
they consider their appointment high
honor. Only in SANDER cases are they
permitted to impose a fine, which Is
payable to the district insane asylum.
The guilty party is required to sign a
declaration Of regret and publish it in
the official organ of the district 1t
would be manifestly impossible to
translate the details Of this procedure
to this country, but the adoption of the
principle in some form adaptable to our
way OF doing would accomplish great
good. Americans are a "lawing" peo-
pie and are usually willing to pay for
such justice as they may derive from
rushing into court on the slightest
provocatlon. But it happens in many
thousands of cases that the ends of
justice are defeated by the costliness
of securing it according to American
Jurisprudence. The intricate system of
court costs has done much to spread
the pessimistic idea that justice is only
for those who can afford it. Anything
which will tend to disprove this idea
is to be commended, provided it does

Shakespeare rs the man who had left
to posterity the richest legacy of all
the countless dead" Although he did
not refer to a legacy Of dollars and
cents yet if the figures given in a
Washington paper are correct, the state
ment might be nearly true in that sense

a million copies in a few years is re-
