lied that he was asking a favor; it quite
easy for me and more convenient tor him. AS
general thing he very economical; but Occa-
sonaly he surprised me with some queer extrava-
gance. For instance once IN hot weather, when he
down a single pair of thick trousers, he came
home with purchase that caused his face to beam,
"a brand new, shiny, whiZzy electric fan, tor
which he paid so much month, which he hltched
to my meter. But Thomas said the sight of him
studying with his hair tossed by those lnstalment
plan breezes enough to make one forget the
meter. He still paying for that fan when he
had the grip in December
He loved to tell the children stories Of his native
land and Thomas and soon found that our best
efforts in the yarn spinning line no longer ap
preciated George Washington and his cherry
tree, even David and bloody old Goliath, were re-
Ceived with open when compared with the
glorious deeds of old Japan, told by sturdy young
warrior whose soul was a1ame with conviction
~ sm my eight-year-old Henry waved his hand
in the air wildly that she gave him the floor,
she afterward told me, in order to keep him inside
his skin He and in very Japanesey English
proceeded to relate the tale of the three brothers all
full of courage and love of country that when they
must give up life the sun died in heaven for sorrow.
1t happened thus, according to my Saxon
and Naiki planned to creep into the camp of
cunning old Iyeyasu in order to avenge their ia
theirs death; but Iyeyasu had lived so long that
when he spoke it was as if the wise serpent had
taken speech. The design of the two brothers
suspected and they captured their way to til
camp; but Iyeyasu adnirng their courage decreed t
them an honorable death. They should be allowed dis
embowelment at their own hands before the altar of
monastery. The sentence pronounced upon the er
tire male portion of the family, which included litt
Hachimaro, child of eight years Henry despatche
the two older brothers rather summary; but when
came to killing Hachmaro his genius scared
a He asked the big brothers to go first because
wanted to see how the job done and do it right,
said Henry. He didn't want tumble, because
was the littest fellow. So, when it Hachimaro
turn with warriors tread and eye like fierce eagle
knelt before the altar Advancing to the teacher
platform, Henry suited action to the word building
altar before him with a comprehensive of his arms
Hachinaro he takes the dirk, which is sharper tha
any kitchen knife, and he sticks itoh, terrible deer
right the left side of his beby bely He lean forward
as brothers have said that he fall his face die
not on back. And the blood come of hm Oh, quart
and quarts and quarts and dipperfus! And slowly,
gruesomely Henry indicated it, he drag dirk clear
to right side and more blood than out of Collar
the Bible came out of Hachimaro in that monastery.
With such savage relish and awful realism did Henr
describe the carnage that several of the little girl
dropped their heads their desks and sobbed, Will

The teacher tried to stop but met by such
storm protest that she decided that the least harmf1
