WHY JAPANESE DON'T BOAST
Pride, Not Modesty, Sits Throned on
Their Hearts, Says Sir Ian
Hamilton.

81 study the Japanese from morning
to night: I talk to them, walk with
them. eat with them and drink with
them also. whenever there is anything
worth drinking. | am watching them
all the time, for I have little else to
do. AS a result of my patient lnves-
tieations," writes Sir Ian Hamilton In
the Mindanao P. ID Herald, every
thing about these strangers is becom-
ing so obscure and contradictory that
I can only marvel at the temerity l
displayed in dashing down what pur-
ported to be an analysis of their char
acters before l had lived with them
month.
For instance, the modesty OF the
Japanese is a trait which, above all
others, has won my profound and un-
stinted respect. Never has there been
go much as tinge of exultatlon, or
what. in its most vulgar form, our
colonials call blowing, about the Of
ficers, non-commissioned officers or
men Of the First army. There nave
been many unconscious revelations OF
a sense of superiority to the Euro
pean. but I cannot call to mind one
single occasion of sober Japanese
making a consciously staggering re-
mark even in the triumphant reac-
ton Immediately after victory.
"It has always been special pleas
ure to recognize and do homage to
so generous, high and knightly quail
ity. but now a corner OF the veil has
been uplifted, and 10, ] seem to pre-
ceive a figure like that of Pride sitting
throned upon the Japanese heart In
great aloofness The Japanese do not
boast after victory because they are
incapable of imagining for one mo-
ment that they are not going to win.
Bad men may bet on certainties. only
fools would boast about them. l am
not theologian, and do not feel
called upon to say whether this quail
ity is to be ranked amongst the
cardinal virtues or the deadly sins.
Certainly selfreliance was considered
by the Romans a virtue Of the first or
der Possent quia posse ridentur. But
l am sure, nevertheless. that what
ever the quality may be. it Is not
modesty."

of Dell Rapids, wanted to ship q car
load of poultry from Dell Rapids to
Chicago, but the agent of the MilwaI-

The Rime representative came to

DR. Graham was asked last evening
if he had received a call from the
Rhine people and he said that he had,
and that he had released the poultry
at Dell Rapids.
Il made an Invests cation of the con-
ditions surrounding the delivery OF
that poultry at Dell Rapids and found
out that it had not come from any dis
trict Of the county which has anthrax
nor that had yet been exposed to the
disease and feel perfectly safe in say
ing that that poultry should have
been released. And | released it. That
does not mean, however, that | will

replace the one whose whole thought
was the good of his country! 1t is
known he did much for the great cause
OF empire, but it may never be known
how much good he did, how he worked
day and night for the one great idea
OF his life. He was always ready to
do a kind action, and many of his
noblest deeds were done in secret.
The working and enterprise of the
firm with which was connected can In
justice be mentioned, more especially
now that the chief has passed away.
Amongst the great distribution Of the
products of Jamaica over Europe and
America none stands higher than the
firm which was formed on the advice
of Sir Alfred JONES'. who introduced
Jamaican bananas into Britain, and
it worked increasingly till he had con.
quered and the business became so I'M

Strict Quarantine Enforced

Sioux Falls-Thomas H. Hicks OF
Milbank, state veterinarian Of South
Dakota, and Dir. +. B. Smith o.
Mitchell, official veterinarian of the
United States government, were in the
city yesterday, for the purpose of go
ing over the situation here with Dr,
Graham, who had reported the an
thrax conditions in this county to
them
In company with DR.. Graham. they
visited the Bonacker farm and other
places in that locality, examined thor
oughly the cattle and horses in that
vicinity, and after they had returned
TO the city last evening, both Mr.
Hicks and Mr.. Smith endorsed every
official action of DR.. Graham's, in con-
nection with the anthrax quarantine
and left the situation entirely in his
hands to deal with.
They expressed confidence that DR..
Graham had handled the trouble as
well as any one could have done and
that he is capable of continuing to
handle it.
Il think that the anthrax situation
is under control now and that | Will

county within ten days. | Will certain

safely, but I shall not until | am en-

night.
DR. Hicks and Dr. Smith left last
evening for the south part or the state
to investigate rumors to the ehect
that there is anthrax among the cat
tie in certain districts, In that part OF
South Dakota.
1t is now reported that William Kirk
who died as the result OF anthrax
poisoning, had only removed the hlde
from one Of the cattle at the Bonacker
farm. 1t was believed that the animal
which Mr.. Kirk skinned had died from
some heart trouble and that when Two
Others died very soon after he had

CARE OF INSANE
Minnehaha County Suing to Recover
From Estate For Care

Sioux Falls-States Attorney Dan
forth has instituted suit against the
estate of the late Hattie {. Phillips.
which estate is now beng probated III
this county.
The suit is for the recovery O
| money expended by this codnty, in
paying for the keep and treatment oil
the late Anna c. Phillips, daughter o
Mrs. Hattie Phillips, in the Soath Da-
kota stat hospital for the insane "a
Yanktor from June IS, 1898, to juno
So 1905.
The claim set up by Mr. Danforth
on behalf OF the county, is based upoa
that provision of the law which states
that the state can collie the amount
necessary for keeping insane patient
at the state institution, If the person
committed is not a dependent Miss
Annie c., Phillips was not a dependent
She had an interest of about $4,000
in the estate Of her mother.
"If Judge Taylor of Huron was right
in a recent decision' said Mr.. Dan
forth yesterday, we cannot collect
any of this amount from the siaI"a o
Annie c. Phillips in her mothers es-
tate. Judge Taylor has held that each
quarterly settlement, by count es with
the state for the care of their insane,
I is a settlement in full and if that Is
true the statute Of limitations
runs against all of those payments in
this ease, which were made during the
first six years of Miss Phillips pa
tienthood at Yankton. We want a
| ruling on that matter, however, and
have instituted these proceedings t.
discover where we are at, in su h
cases.
The claim which the county has set
up against the Phillips estate amounts
to 81 .331 20, which with interest at the
legal rate for the elapsed time,
amounts to a total of 81 5000.
