Dear Bill:
On landing at Neogosoki, with It's
modern European boulevard, or
'bund.' as the foreign street along the
seashore Is always called in the East,
about the first thing that made me
feel hat / was actually in Japan was
a pretty little girl strolling along in
her wooden clogs and with a gorgeous
blue umbrella over her head. Fol a
goodly percentage of the male popu-
lation was dressed in everyday Amer
lean clothes and the others mostly
wore kimonos with those little, narrow
brimmed, cheese-boX straw hats, the
kind the farmer boy wears in rural
melodramas.
And what a fuss they make over q
tall man! Why, l believe If l had set
up a tent and charged an admission |
should have cleared a good round sum.
1t reminded me of the old pictures of
CULVER and the Iiliputians, In
Kyoto it's even more of a sensation.
Coolies drop their loads, merchants
rush to the windows, washerwomen

Henry NJ. stephens. of Putnam. Tex,
has discovered after forty-six years of
uncertainty that she is a widow and
that her husbands body is buried in

to a friend, Morris r. Locke, of Abb

Texas soldiers appearing on h Con-
federate monument at Alton.
The list was printed in a Dallas,
Tex, newspaper, and came to the at
tention of Mrs. Stephens son, j. f.

never learned what became of her
husband. He was a soldier in a Texas
regiment and disappeared in Louisiana

WARSHIPS MAY CRUISE
IN MEDITERRANEAN SEA.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1s.-The At
lantic leet in all probability will cruise
in the Mediterranean sea during the
approaching fall and winter. The sub
ject is now under consideration by the
Navy Department, several alternate
voyages being in mind, and the final
conclusion of the matter awaits the re-
turn of Secretary of the Navy Meyer
from abroad.
The Mediterranean cruise seems to
receive the greatest favor, however,
and If Secretary Meyer follows the
judgment of the naval officers the bat
tloships will pay calls of courtesy to
all the countries of Southern Europe
whose shores are washed by the
Mediterranean. The feet will sail
about october 10, remaining In foreign
waters several months. 1t will then
be assembled at Guantanamo, Cuba,
for cruising and maneuver exercises,
which will last until March.

Between
Ourselves

Ten or twenty years ago it used
to be customary for merchants to
get in their Fail lines about Sep
tember l and then sit idly by and
wait for trade to come to them. In
a word, September was regarded
as a dull month.
Things are different nowadays.
Live merchants no longer WAIT
for September business to come to
them-they GO AFTER 1T.
Almost ten years ago we con-
ceived the idea of holding a big
general sale during the carly days
of September. These sales have
been growing in volume each veal
until now they rank with our great
January and July sales. II has
taken much hard work to get them
up to their present high standard.
but 1t has paid us.
The sale now in progress ends
Saturday. We have prepared BIG.
GENEROUS bargains in every de
partment, and if you have not Wis
tied the ~Bamberger store this week,
by all means get here tomorrow.
