Scotland was walking one misty night
through a street in the village when
he fell into deep hole. There was no
ladder by which he could make his
escape, and he began to shout for help.
A laborer passing heard his cries, and,
looking down, asked who he was. The
minister told him whereupon the la
borer remarked "Weel, weel, we need

THE SOUL OF NIPPON
(From The Sunday Hawaii shinpo)


A MEDIAEvAL LEGEND OF JAPAN.
At winter dusk upon the hillside cold,
While shvering trees made moan,
Went HOBO Tokiyori all alone
Free of his Regent robes and zone of gold,
Free of all trappings of imperial state
Plain CARRIED as Buddhist priest, he bent his head
Before the icy winds that beat
Upon him as he upward strobe.
Rough and stony was the road
Across the rim of waters Futts crest
Rose dim and blue against the paling West
Bare lay the frosted valley at his feet,
And faint and far upon the plain below
The lights of Kamakura shed their glow.
He turned and gazed and grimly said,-
mo royal palace is the home of truth,
SO now l dare what every mortal fears
The judgment of a man by his compeers-
The test that still finch from till they die.
OF deed and mind.
Myself must learn what man t is guards my gate
Must learn what man am l.
And happy in the hollows of the wind,
The mighty soul Of Nippon l shall find"
Closer he drew his robe of ashen gray.
And faced once more the darkening, upward way.
On on he trod meath coudveed stars till dawn,
His spirit to the souls high levels drawn,
And begged for food sleeping place
From poor and rich, from good and base.
And ever learned he more from friend and foe
The subtle things that dynasts seek to know
OF wit or warning against overthrow.
Often in lordly hall peasants cot
In words of praise or slight,
With deepened shadows or excess of ligb'
Saw his own picture drawn, and knew 1t not
YEA words are plenty: wisdom rare" said he.

The shuttlecock of good and i'll report;
