That the relations between Japan
and China have been strained to
such a degree that further strain
ing might easily precipitate war be
tween the two Oriental nations, was
clearly evidenced by the manner in
which DIR. WI Ting-fang, the Chi
nese minister to the United States,
who arrived in Washington last
evening, after an absence of five
years. received the news of the &C
ton of the Nlikado in sending his
demands TO the Chinese govern
ment.
The minister was first informed
Of the action Of the japanese by
reading the Tokyo dispatch in The
Times in his apartment on the sPe-
cial train, just after it arrived at
the Union Station. The usually i'm
pressive countenance of the great
Chinese scholar and diplomat fell,
and a dark shadow passed over his
features as he read it through in
tently. When he looked up his face

was written large upon it.

LETTER TO c. c. GRIST,
Marietta, Ga.

Dear Sir: How two men differ! n
Avery, Delhi, n Y, had two houses
painted two ways; the houses alike,
same painter, different paints One
paint gallons; the other H.
A dealer there who was selling the -
gallon paint, threw it out and put in the
6-gallon paint.
Do you see why? The less-gaIlons
paint cost less for the job by gallons
Of paint and 6 days labor: $l0.75 for
paint and SIP to $24 for labor according
to painters wages 81 to 81 day..
A dealer in paint at Malone, n Y, was
selling this 6-gallon paint, was offered
the II gallon paint for 15c less q gallon,
and took it To make that extra 15c o
gallon, he saddles q loss OF $22.T5 to
$S4.75 job on his customers. What if
they find it outP
The people had better lookout for
that k22. rs or $34.75, which ever it is
we don't know what painters day wages
are there.
The two paints are Devoe and another
sold at the same price by the gallon
Will you tigure-out that l2-gallon paint +:
what man can afford to pay for gal
Ion of it?
The answer is Gf you figure it right
taxing wages 81 a day: A man could
afford to put-on that paint If somebody
pays him 121ac 8 gallon; and, taking
wages "a day, he must get 81 p a gal
