4 LITTLE JAP-
 ANE5E FICTION

It must have required some clever coaching to work the present genera. ton of Japs up for the hearty wei. come they recently gave our battle ship fleet, The Keynote of the wei. come seems Co have been that the Americans brought greatness and pros periy to Japan and that the demon stratIon of 1908 was only an answer to the call of Commodore Perry fifty years ago, when Japan was opened up to the world.
 Now, the Japanese hate the foreign. CT today as heartily as their ancestors did when Perry somehow convinced them that lt would be a good thing Co mix with the world. It has never been made clear whether lt was the size of Perry's fleet and guns or an appre- citation of the big land behind the fleet and guns that converted the laps in 1858 or Pcrry's diplomatic way of putting the whole question. It was not unanimous then with the nation. Civil strife followed Finally the Lib. erals won. although they had to con. cedc bout everything to the universal prejudice against foreigners How this could have been explained Co the present day Jops, who worship their ancestors and are not inclined to for. get the past and let bygones be by zones. Is a riddle. Perhaps there Is a Japanese fairy lore In which the Amer ican smile and the American touch al- ways work right for good Japs

 IN MARRYING

Without waiting for decision in the debate golug on all over che couu- try as to tue lowest limit for Income desirable in married life a Harvard professor and Boston preacher have undertaken to GN limit dogmatically. It Is reported tImt the professor holds tt to be "sln against the country for a man to marry unless his Income is at least $500 year and that the preacher win refuse to perform the ceremony for man whose Income is less than SIP per week The jusdhco- tlon for the limit is essentially the same in each case.
 The professor holds that children cannot be properly brought up on an Income less than $500 a year, and an attempt to do so would flower the standard of American citizenship" The preacher thinks that marriage on less than SIP week tends to the ln- crease or INhNtIlNs AtSt NANMn NAN noteworthy at time when restrlc- lions are being placed upon marrying In haste. The restrictions, however, have 10 do with the legal status of the union. The taking out Of license leads to some delibcratlou and Is not without moral effect As a rule all who are interested in the marriage of any particular couple, except some times the candidates themselves, favor deliberatlon. Restrictions, therefore, are not likely to become unpopular un- less they tend to discourage wedloSk. Strangely, enough, this tendency Of ours to place restrictions of one sort and another upon marriage Is contcm- porary with a movement In France to abatc long standing restrictions which arc believed To have discouraged mar rlagc and worked harm for the coun. try and for society.

OIrR CANARY BIRD DICK

Perhaps you would like to hear
about Dick, the cute little canary
bird we have He is very light yell
low, with a few black feathers.
Whenever some one comes into the
room he sings and sings until the
person says: How do you do?" to
him. Then he stops. He is so tame
that we allow him to fly all around
the house. He likes the mahogany
table in the parlor best.
One day last week I was walking
through the hall with pitcher Of
water. Dick saw me, flew up to the
pitcher, sat on the rim and then flew
in and took bath, which surprised
me very much, because he will not
take his bath unless it is in the frying
pan.
Dick loves to play with spool of
thread, which he untWists until he
has enough in his mouth and then he
will fly to his cage. If he sees any
one eating something, he flies on his
shoulder and with his head cooked
On one side sings until he gets some
thing to eat The other day while
nv friends and I were in the dining
room he flew from one shoulder to
the other or flew on to the table to
eat the crumb s.-Hildegarde Grisch,

CHAPTER VIII.
The Fatal Letter.

The news of death, especially il 1t
be sudden and violent, will sober
drunken man; even those who play
at the game whose moves are death
seasoned old soldiers-feel some
shock when a comrade Is snatched
away from them by other than pro-
fessional means-shot, she'll or steel.
In civil life, for tho moment, 1t Gre
ates a stir with which no other catas-
trophe-bankruptc an elopement,
or even being raised to the peerage-
can compare. No man is SO lethargic,
or so immersed in greed or pleasure,
but that at those terrible tidings a
secret door is opened in his own soul,
ard he looks forth, If it Is but for an
instant, upon the dark unfathomed
void that is awaiting him also. When
the awful summons has been served
upon one in youth and strength its
effect upon the bystanders Is still
greater.
In the present case Mr.. Mavors
was, as was natural, the leaHt moved
of all those present. The dead man
was personally unknown to him. He
could only call to remembrance the
tall, handsome young fellow that had
stood up (from various causes) with
some difficulty in the boat only last
evening to drink Miss Gilbert's
health, and was now, nerveless,
bloodless, breathless. Not for one
instant did it enter into his mind
that since the unworthy object of her
affection was removed the girl for
whom he had himself begun to en-
tertain "the low beginnings" of love.
had been rendered more accessible
to him.
Nor, at all events for the present,
did it occur to the canon to con-
gratulate himself upon the trouble
ended-a domestic knot thus oppor-
tunely severed by the hand OF Fate
"Poor fellow, poor fellow" he
murmured softly.
These men were both by nature
gentlemen.
Adair, too, was not unmoved.
Death was no more familiar to him
than to the other two, but he felt
less of horror. There was some
thing in his heart, though not in his
vo:se, that smacked of hesitating
satisfaction as he inquired, "Are you
quite sure of this, Mr. Mavors?"
"Only too sure"
How did it happen?" inquired the
canon. Glow could it have hap
pened?" meaning that to the dead
man water had been the natural ele-
ment. If the misfortune had been
less tremendous he would have said,
"Why, he could swim like fish" In
catastrophes we do not use meta
phors or commonplaces.

CHAPTER VII.
Sad News.

Upon the whole, however we men
may complain of the hardness of our
lives. mans lot is free from the
catastrophes to which that of woman
Is liable. He may stoop low, and live
to stoop again, but she never. She
only too literally falls to rise no
more" Sophy Gilbert, or to give her
her proper title, Sophy Perry, of
course, was in no such terrible plight
as that.
To some young ladies, had they
pcen in Sophy's position, it may have
seemed a not very difficult task,
though an unpleasant one, to make
confession of the weakness that had
iGc them into 1t. L was in love
with Mr.. Herbert Perry, dear guard
ian; and since l knew l should not
obtain your consent to our union, we
married without it"
But Sophy knew that the canon,
with all his kindness, was not a man
to be mollified where duplicity and
double dealing were concerned; he
had always treated her with so much
trust and affection, and she had
shown herself SO utterly unworthy of
trust. Against Miss Aldred her
transgressiun was still graver, for the
very liberty Aunt Maria had allowed

Convincing.

Two boys, John and James, were
equally taught that it is more blesse;
to give than to receive. But Johi
didn't believe it. Years passed, how
ever, the boys grew up, and John fel
into evil ways, being, in fact, elected
Alderman from his ward. AS sucl
he received bribe.
And curiously enough, it was b.!
none other than James that the brib'
was given.
But while John went to prison fol
a long term of years, James remained
Superintendent of his Sabbath school
and was looked upon as godly man
''It is, indeed, more blessed to GIVE
than to received" exclaimed John
convinced.-From Puck.

with a whispered ''The bearer waits,

with a whispered 'tThe bearer Waits,
IL you please, sir"
While the canon was saying Moth
ing the matter, 1 hope, Mavors?"
and Miss Mildred expressing the
same sentiment by her anxious looks.
II shall be staying up during the
Long Vacation" went on Adair, in q
lower tone, "and I hope you will al
low me sometimes to point out to
you-and to Miss Aldred, of course
what is most worth seeing in the
neighborhood."
"It will give US great pleasure.
she said, I'm sure"
It was a bold reply; was it possible
that Mr.. Mavors had heard 1t, since
he threw such quick, serious glance
across at her, and looked so grave?
He had read the note, and was put
ting it carefully into his pocket.
Tell tho messenger, Barclay" he
said, "that I shall be in my rooms In
twenty minutes"
Must you leave us SO soon?" in
quired the hostess, sympathetically.
why, yes, I am sorry to say I
must; 1t Is q piece of rather pressing
college business. Prater-the other
tutor-is away this week, so have
his side to look after as we'll as my
own"
Miss Aldred, with womanly tact, at
once perceived that something seri-
GUS, but which was not to be dis
closed at all events to ladies ears,
had happened, and gave Sophy that
mystic nod which is the blue-peter Of
the female fleet; the signal for sail
ing out of the room. AS the door
closed behind them, Mr.. Mavors, with
his hand upon his chair, observed
with emotion. "a sad calamity has
taken place, Aldred.'
Not, I trust, of private nature?"
exclaimed the canon.
"As regards myself, no; but from
something that dropped from you the
other day, l am afraid it may affect
you somewhat. Mr.. Herbert Perry
was, I believe, visitor at the Lau-
rels. He is drowned. His body has
just been found in the river"
