Elsie Chesney, Society Belle. Plunged
Into Surf at Atlantic City.
Miss Elsie Chesney, member of
the young social set of Trenton, N. J.,
caused boardwalk strollers to have
a chill when she started out on the
strand in a neat black bathing suit
and capered on the sand for ten or
fifteen minutes totally unmindful of
the chilly northwest wind that was
blowing and causing promenaders on
the boardwalk to draw their wraps
tightly about them, says an Atlantic
City dispatch Miss Chesney ran up
and down for a few minutes and then
sat down in the sand to play with
two or three children who were dig
ging while wrapped up in Overcoats
and gloves and leggings When she
had tired of this Miss Chesney ran
down to the waters edge, waited for
a big breaker and then plunged in
without the slightest hesitation.
She swan for about ten or fifteen
minutes, as much at nome in the wa
ter as a duck, and emerged shaking
the water from her and her cheeks
aglOw with the cold and the exercise.
But she did not tarry long, for the
wind penetrated her wet bathing
clothes, and she gave merry little
laugh and started in trot up South
Carolina avenue to the hotel Iroquois,
where she is spending a fortnight.
Later, when asked, Miss Chesney
said the water was mot at all bad,
but the wind was cold on her wet
clothes" Asked if she expected to
make it dialy practice while in At

WAS SOMETHING PATHETIC
THE WELCOME THE JAPANESE
GAVE AMERICAN FLEET.

Show of Display Contrasted Strongly
with Awful Poverty of People.
How They Farm and Live.
The brave show that the Japan
csc people made in welcoming the
American fleet at Yokohama must
have contained some clements of the
pathetic to close observers among the
foreign residents in Japan who know
the true condition of the country s
poverty. Perhaps they knew that
the money spent in the decoration of
Ioklo's streets, the casting of gold
and silver memorial medals for the
officers of the fleet and the lavish en-
tertainments in score of towns came
ultimately from the meagre increase
of fields no larger in many instances
than the court of an apartment house
airshaft.
In old Japan, where hundreds of
generations have lived on scraps of
land that the mountains grudgingly
leave tillable, every artifice of taxed
ingenuity has been employed to draw
crops commensurate with the heavily
increasing population, Hills have
been levelled, mountains terraced in
to parallel alleyways only wide
enough to hold a double row OF
plants, and rivers SO carefully banked
up and tenderly petted into docility
that they are made to share their
beds with the rice planter.
So precious is the arabic land that
recently when the government built
new railroad across the main island
of Hondo hundreds of claims had to
be settled for the dots of ground pre-
empted for the erection of telegraph
poles. -,
Each rice plant that is sunk in the
mud of the flooded field receives al
most as much attention as the care
fully numbered fowls that roost each
night on the thatch Of the farmers
hut. Seed is not scattered broad
cast; it is too precious for that In
stead it is pushed into the loan of
forcing bed by the finger of the
farmer or his wife.
Even with all conditions favorable
the japanese farmer has to work like
a serf to gather his harvest The
rows of grain are cut with a sickle, !
for no field is large enough to ac-
cOmmOdate a cutting and threshing
machine even if so expensive an adj !
junct to farming on a large scale |
could be afforded.
Each seed that the farmer gains |
after his long year of untiring effort |
seems to represent an individual plea !
for increase made to the parent seed |
that was planted, for on no other |
land under heaven is the parable OF |
the seed that is sOwn so faithfully |
exemplified and perhaps nowhere else
does the planter of the seed pray so
ardently against the inexorable pro- }
portion of disappointment

The Tradegy of
ReelfOot Lake.

The following interesting matter
will give to many people new light
on the might rider" troubles at Reel
foot Lake, Tennessee:
Most persons who read the stories
of the Reelfoot Lake uprising and
the courageous and prompt action of
the governor of Tennessee do not ap-
preciate fully the fishermen's side of
the story While nothing can justify
their outlawry there are many things
to approve in their determination to
stand for their rights"
The foregoing assertions were
made by Thomas Shearon, himself
Tennessean, residing at one time in
Union City, near the scene of the out
RACES.
1T is a familiar story, that of the
subsistence of the earth in or about
1911, during a seismic disturbance,
and the forming in that fashion of
what came to be known as Reelfoot
Lake" he continued Before that
time the state of North Carolina, in
the DAYS when Tennessee was still in
embryo and a part of the Old North
State, had patents to all that land,
and had granted it to certain persons
for purposes of colonization and set
tlement.
