Polite Japanese Police.

The Japanese police, one of whose
chiefs has been studying English meth
DDS at Scotland Yard with a view Of
Improvement In his own force, was
originally the most aristocratic body
of the kind in the world, says the
London Chronicle. It's establishment
was almost coincident with the en-
peror's decree forbidding the wear
ing of swords. By a stroke of the
imperial pen the Samurai were de-
prived of cherished weapons, by which
the gentlemen of Japan had beer ac-
customed from immemorial times to
advertise their rank. So they went
into the police, where it was still
possible to carry a sword, and a very
formidable weapon it was, being Of
the tw~o-handed variety. Perhaps the
police 20 years g were rather too
fond of chopping a prisoner in half in
stead of arresting him, but they were
very expert, and there was seldom
any evidence to contradict their "
version of the incident. To people Of
their own rank and to foreigners they
are police in a degree, which would
have seemed ludicrous anywhere ex-
cept in the land of honoritics.

Where Huguenots WorshIped.

America. One is that theirs is the
first church organization established
in South Carolina; and the other that
they were the first to carry the gospel
to the state outside the city Of Char
lesion.
The first Huguenot church organiza-
ton was about 1872. In the GENE
terry surrounding it lies entombed the
dust of many who have slept there
for more than two centuries. the pio-
neers of the church. On the tombs
are engraved names that have be-
come historic in the annals Of South
Carolina.
The present building was erected in
1845. 1t is stone. in Gothic style. with
ornamental masonry extending in
pointed columns above the roof. It
suffered greatly. as did all of the
churches of Charleston. from the ter
rible earthquake of 1886. The first
church building was burned in 1740.
The congregation took steps to erect
another, which shared the same fate;
and still another, which was also
burned. The present building stands
today unique in history. the only
Huguenot church in America.

KEEPS GIANT SONS IN BED

Good Health.

Worthwhile, N. Y.-Hypnotized by
their mother into the belief that they
are suffering from hereditary heart
disease in an aggravated form. three
grown men have been lying in bed
for years in their home here. Physi-
clans have examined the three men
and declare they are in as sound
physical trim as can be three six
footers who have remained in bed
such a length Of time.
The men are sons of John Bennett,
a farmer. The mother is a robust
woman. intelligent in appearance,
about sixty years old. The sons are
George. ~thirty-two years old; Ward.
Twenty-Five, and Frank. twenty-seven
years. They are under the impress
sion that the slightest shock will re-
suit in sudden death. George has
been in bed for eight years, Ward
ten years and Frank six years.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett insist
the men are awful sufferers. They
had trouble this summer with a firm
of contractors putting through a state
highway near their home because the
blasting had a serious effect on their

Port Royal. s. C.-The first Protes-

on the shores of South Carolina. not
far from the present town of Port

Port Royal did not have the success
that was hoped for 1t, and had to be
abandoned-not before seed had been
planted, however. that bears It's fruit
to this day.
On landing, one Of the first things
the Huguenots did was to unite in a
service Of thanksgiving to God for
their safe arrival. They erected a
monument to commemorate the occa-

This Country Full of Foreign Spies

t%ectorates. He returned to his home
country, and nothing more was heard
of him for several years.
One day toward the end OF 1910 a
man who had met this officer on his
first visit was much surprised to meet
him again on a f%erryboat at New York
city. The officer was dressed in civ
ilian clothes and either did not recog-
nize his former acquaintance or pre-
tended not to recognize him. When
addressed, however, he readily &C.
knowledged his identity. He said he
was In this country permanently and
was working In a factory on Staten
Island. This factory was within half
an hours walk OF some OF the most
important Notifications on the Atlantic
seaboard.
The fact was enough to make the
acquaintance suspicious. Here was a
man who had been an officer in a for
eign army, who had at n time ad-
mittedly represented his country on
an inspection tour, n who suddenly
turned up six years after in civilian
clothes and said that he was working
regularly in a factory close to a great
fortress.
Some time later the acquaintance
called up the factory to see If the man
was still here. He was not, but a
left shortly after the interview on the
ferryboat.

III ASHINGTON.-If Uncle Sam want
w ed to go into the summer resort
business, now would be his golden op-
to acquire for q song hotel and resort
property of great scenic beauty,
though possibly OF little commercial
value, according to the agents boom
ing them. Whether Uncle Sam will
bite will depend upon the national
forestry commission.
The efforts to sell are being made
under the Weeks Forestry law, other
wise known as the Appalachian Forest
Reserve act. Last spring, when ad-
vertsements were issued for land to be
purchased with the $11, O00. 900 appro-
priated by that law, the rush began.
1t has continued since then until near
~ every owner of a busted" down
at-the-heel summer resort In the noun
tain sections of the southeastern
states and New England has tried to
unload upo the government. The Of
fers are still coming in.
Already over 1000. 900 acres nave
been offered for sale to the govern
ment. All OF this is not summer re-
sort property, but a considerable pro-
portion of it is. The resort property
is not offered for the buildings on it.

Der. No charge was made for the pic

Of this property did not admit it. but
1t Is we'll known that the Natural
Bridge died q natural death In recent
years.
A large number OF other resort and
hotel properties In the White Noun
tains and the much advertised Land
Of the Sky" or Sapphire Country"
Of Carolina are being offered to the
government at ridiculous prices
whether ridiculously high or rtdlcu-
lousy low will be for the forestry COM
mission to say. Officials Of the forest
service nave mapped out certain areas
within which 1t is thought desirable
to buy land for the protection OF for
ests and the conservation of stream
flow. Some of these areas include
summer resorts; but that e not
mean that the forest service wants
those resorts purchased.
Certain big White Mountain hotels
want the government to buy whole
mountains SO that the trees thereon
will be preserved for the benefit OF
their guests. Lands are being pressed
upon the government for $50 to 500
an acre, but few If any OF these will
be bought. Most of the purchases
which the forestry commission will
authorize will probably be cut-over
and waste lands which can be OBJ
tanned for q few dollars an acre.

7 ELEVATORS CLOSED
BROWN COUNTY COMPANY UN-

South Dakota Farmers Who Hold Stor-

Engaged Lawyer to Look After
Their interests.

Aberdeen.-W. B. Roby, manager OF
the South Dakota Farmers Elevator
company, operating seven elevators in
Brown county, with headquarters at

of directors charged with a shortage
Of $4O,0 900 cash and 1880 bushels OF
grain. He was placed under $4,000
bonds which he could not furnish and
was placed in Jail.
The first intimation that the affairs
OF the company were in an unsatls-
factory condition came when E. S. Mel
son, a prominent farmer, presented a
storage certificate for 1000 bushels
of grain to the agent of the elevator
at Stratford, and was informed there
was no grain on hand to meet the GER
tiicate.
Roby resides at Verdon, where the
company has two elevators. 1t also
owns two elevators at Nahon and one
each at Stratford, Brentford and Ran
dolph.
1t is alleged that Roby is short in
his accounts about $4,000. Ruby's
reports were turned in promptly every
day, as were also the weekly reports,
and as the directors had great conf
dence in the managers business abll-

ton of anything wrong in the affairs
of the company came out until Mr..
