japanese Women.

We do not deny that in the days of
old Japan women were taught and
trained TO hold and did occupy a po-
sition inferior to that of man, although
as mothers they were regarded with
the highest respect and devotion. But
those days are gone, and today our
daughters are given full freedom to
live and act with perfect equality as
their sisters of the west. while our
mothers retain their old positions Of
honor and esteem.-Japan Times.

house and heard Elise sing.
Mrs. Watts was a widow, and Elise
| and Clarence were her only children.
A small pension partly supported their
! wants, and Mrs. Watts and Elise took
| in plain sewing when they could get it,
but Little Watts earnings from the
sale of his papers were their chief
source of income.
1t seemed % me that they might live
little more comfortably, but one day
Little Watts confided secret to me.
Were saving for Elise" he said.
''She's going to be a big singer some
day after she's gone away and studied
and had chance. I'm saving up for
that

and-Elise was going away.
She had been singing in church
choirs and at concerts, and some ladies
who had become interested in her. but
who were unable to lend her money
for her study. had given her a benefit
concert. which the Leader had widely
/ advertised without charge on account
of Little Watts.
But most of the money that was to
pay for Elise's two years Of study in
the east had been or would be earned
by Little Watts.
But when | come back he shall
work no more" Elise said to me, with
the tears in her eyes. Il shall earn it
then. and be shall go to New York to
study drawing and engraving. He's
so eager to learn it. you know. but he
won't say much about it or even think
about it until begin to earn money"
| Quite little company of US went to
the station to see Elise off. OF course
Little Watts was there His large eyes
were shining through their tears, and
his white face was wreathed in smiles,
though l knew his heart ached with
sorrow at the thought of two years
without her.
But the boy cried his papers just as
loudly and cheerily as ever next day

| often met him hurrying around the
corners of almost deserted streets or
paying last visit to the hotels. where
he hoped to sell another paper at an
hour when all other newsboys had
gone home.
Every paper he sold counted, not for
himself, but for Elise. He and his
mother lived upon the pension and her
sewing.
Every month a draft to the amount
of all of Little Watts earnings went to
New York to Elise. and every week she
wrote encouraging letters Of what her
teachers said about her voice and Of
her hopes for the future.
Il knew they'd have to say her voice
wasn't anything common Little Watts
said proudly to me when the first OF
her letters came. Il knew she'd aston

and cold. the air was filed with fine
sleety snowtiakes, and thought when
l saw Little Watts that the fates had
not been kind to the boy or he would
have been warm and snug in bed al
home at that hour.
But the Leader was published every
morning. and Little Watts had regula,
customers at whose doors he left his
papers before he hurried away to the
early morning trains.
He was only twelve years old and
small for his years. and he would new
er be much larger or stronger. A great
hump between his narrow shoulders
told a sorrowful story of a fall down q
long fight Of tenement house stairs
when he was only two years old.
1t was often my duty to count out t.

His hat had fallen off. and he limped
