Mrs. Jewell got the drop on her COMPETE

Where The chanae Comes.

We often hear some neighbor say,
Things We're not that way when 1
was young" But they were. 1t is
not the things that have changed, but
ourselves. Our prim and precise aunt
may make q fuss because niece strolls
down to lovers lane in the summer
twilight, but all the same she would
have jumped at a chance to do the
same thing thirty years ago. When
he came along she went. Mother grum-
bles because we sit out on the porch
and talk a little late, but she forgets
how h old mar used to call her down
good and hard because dad stayed
pretty late when he was sparkling her.
We think the %circuses are hummer
than they used to be and the clowns
are not half as funny. But they are.
The winters get just as cold and the
summers just as hot. The flies are as
thick and the mosquitoes bite just as
hard. About the only difference is
that in the fiowery days of our youth
we didn't have troubles. Now we
do.-Osborne Nan.) Farmer.

Those Rowing Japs.

In spite of the proteStations in Tokyo
that Japan is peacefully disposed to-
ward all the world at present. the year
opened with many signs that compli-
cations over the Japanese immigration
problem may at no distant day involve
both England and the United States.
Our own position as Il people and a
nation is we'll known. With c, 1000, 900
souls here. we can we'll afford to put
the bars up against undesirables of
any color and can assimilate a few
thousands. more Dr. less, of any strange
race open to assimilation on the Amer

With the laps on the Pacific shores
Of Canada the case seems to be differ
ent. both for the Dominion and the
mother country. 1t is said hat the
"yellow peril" there is not due to num-
bers or the prospect of numbers, but
to the fierce c~lannishness. the barbaric
aloofness of the few thousands in the
Japanese settlements. They stand in
a perpetual state of war against their
white neighbors. A correspondent of
the London Times, writing from Van
couver, says that at the time of the
trouble last year the whites Of Vancou-
yer were astounded and alarmed at the
efficiency shown by the japanese. The
Japanese quarter was seen to be an
armed camp, and an hour after the
riot started the yellow men were so
we'll organized and equipped for actual
battle that they could have defended
themselves against an army. Here
were the subjects of an Asiatic power
on foreign soil prepared to fight to the
death. and that not for individual
rights, but for the glory and honor of

The Buluba- Lulua Talk.

Although the Buluba-L ulua language
Of the Kongo region is remarkably rich
in some directions. it shows a no less
remarkable paucity of terms in other
directions. For example, there is no
word for the young Of living creatures
the indefinite muana Child is used
for all alike. There is no single word
for brother, sister or mother-in-law.
The native recognizes only three dis.
tinct ~colors-red, white and black;
there is nothing for green or yellow
or mauve or saffron pink. The verb
dila is made to do service for cry,
bawl, bleat, squeal, sing. roar, preach,
croak. argue, bray, lecture or tick (as a
watch. There r no pronouns indi-
eating sex. There is no s~atisfactorv

the native uses for Gods love he must
also use to express his liking for salt
or his preference for a certain kind of
blanket. Sometimes one fairly cries
out IN agony for a word to replace
some of the strong English terms, like
ought. duty, must, obligation. graft.
