A Sensible Sentiment.

A lady received the following
reply from a heighbor in answer
to the question as to why she
allowed her children and her
husband to litter up every room
in the house. The sentiment
will find lodgment in the heart
of every home-loving person in
the land: "The marks of little
muddy feet on the floor can be
easier removed than the stains
where little feet 90 into the high.

fingers on the windowpane can
not shut out the sunshine halt
So much as the shadow that
darkens the mothers heart over
the one who is but me..in the
coming years. And if John finds
refuge from care and his
greatest happiness within its four
walls, he can put his boots in the
rocking chair or hang his coat
on the floor any day in the.weeK.
And if stand it, and he enjoys 1t,
it's nobody's business but mine."
To which the Fulton Telegraph
sensibly replies: Such senti.

above is both sensible and beau.

millions of loyal wives and moth

advantage of this beautiful sen.

and to Tighten them whenever it
is possible, is unworthy of a

GOOD WILL OF JAPAN.
Count Okuma WarmIy Praises Presl-

Toxic. March s.-COunt Okuma, former president
Of the Progressive Party. has written a signed
article for the Toxic "Mainichi." in which he un-
reseryedly praises President Taft for his policy. as
embodied in his inaugural address. Regarding that
part Of the address dealing with the treaty rights
OF aliens Count Okuma says that II would be a
matter for universal rejoicing If the delicate rela-
tons between the federal and state constitutions
could be adjusted a manner thoroughly cam
patihle with national credit and honor and the
standing Of the United States a highly civilzed
power.
In respect 10 the naval programme, as outlined
in the inaugural speech. the count expresses fun
concurrence. He writes that President Taft be
lieves that such outcome IS an unavoidable de-
mand Of the times and ridicules the idea that It
is directed against Japan He says that this idea
IS gross misrepresentation OF both japan and
the United States, which believe equally that a
strong navy is the best guarantee of peace.
Regarding immigration. the count cannot enter
tain the idea Of restriction principle. but he
is not opposed To it a temporary measure for
preventing unnecessary excitement and irritation
when Japan is unfortunately the object OF unwar-
rantabe suspicion. In conclusion, he says: Japan $
