The Commercial club, at it's regular
meeting next Monday evening, will
have as it's guest, Frank r Packham

the party that accompanied the Japa'

tour through the United States. He
has a very interesting address on ia
pan and Japanese" that he delivered
before a Springfield audience, and ii
proved to be immensely entertaining
1t deals with the commercial manners
and customs of the Japanese. The
secretary received the following char
acteristic letter from him:
Il beg to acknowledge receipt OF
your esteemed favor of the 3rd inst,
conveying your kind invitation to read
a paper, or portion of it, Japan and

night of Feb. 14th.
Il consider the invitation, coming
from your honorable body, great
compliment to me, more than l deserve.

simply a plain commercial plugger.
81 have hesitated to accept the invi-
tation, but now advise you that should
nothing unforeseen occur, l shall con-
sent to worry you on the evening des-
ignated.
THE paper that has interested
Springfielders, is decidedly informal in
character; has not even a standing col
lar.
