I have said a few things regarding

things about the buttermaker, as we
also have variety of them. If !

have liberal education, a thorough
knowledge Of dairying in all it's de.
tails, including food products. and
some knowledge of the science OF
breeding dairy cattle. This, together
with the knowledge of up-to-date but.

with broad and liberal views, and a
smile that won't come of, even though
he is in the midst of many and trying
disputes with the patrons, is the kind
Of man would have no fear to leave

he should be man capable Of filling
many of the highest positions in the
land.
1t would be a blessing to a great

have a buttermaker and manager in

get too heavy for him, he could en-

Right here is where the true spirit

STORY TELLERS OF JAPAN.
Professionals Invent and Recite

Though the japanese are a nation or

his way. The lower sort Of story teller

''yose." and may also be engaged by the
hour TO amUse private parties. Some
story telling Is rather in the nature Of
a sixpenny magazine. The man sits with
an open book before him and expounis
il and dilates upon 1.-THE story OF the
'FOrty-seven Rouin.' perhaps. OF the
Chinese novel Of the Three Kingdoms
or an account Of the Satsuma rebellion.
or one OF the old wars Of the Taira and
Minamoto families in the Middle AGES.
When he comes 10 some particular good
point he emphasizes 1t by a rap with his
fan or little slab OF wood kept by him
for that purpose.
The Japanese professional story teller
also invents and recites II he doesn't
earn his living by story telling. he may
not be admitted to the guild of 'yose. -

lawyer should have nothing to do with
either OF them?
A declaration to that effect By supreme
Court Justice Mclean, Of New York. has

scorn, by the lawyers Of Chicago. Espe-
cially fervent are they in protesting that
the Judge was wrong about the women.
