Washington, Jan. 5.-An unsigned letter. postmarked St. Joseph, Mo, written in pencil and purporting to be warning of the activity of Jap- anese spies in the United States, was received by Speaker Cannon. It is an interesting document, circumstantial in detail and full of patriotic senti- ments. The writer claims to be a patriotic young woman of 21, in love with Japanese officer, and declares she has just discovered the secret of his mission in the United States. The letter is as. follows:
 "A solemn warning to the congress of the United States.
 No doubt 1t will be wondered who am and whence I come, butt do not do this to attain any honor or | receive any recompense from any source. l do this from love within my bosom for my country, from genuine patriotism, and especially for the lives of thousands of innocent men who may most likely have to take up arms to defend their coun- try.
 In Love With the Jap.
 T am young woman 21 years old. l am in love with a Japanese officer of high rank. | have been in love with him for two years, but have | just found out his mission in this country While reading a newspaper the other day. he came across some thing about the talk that is now
 ing on in the house of representa- tivcs, and he said to me- You have fine lot of fools in Washington | "I asked him why he said that, and he replied: They are as ignorant of what we are preparing to do as"
 Then he caught himself, realizing. that he was about to tell his secret, and discontinued the conversation. l While he was away I searched his suit case and found secret pocket In 1t were diagrams of various parts of the Pacific coast. The weak points were marked by means of arrows. | kept out very small diagram and have it still. It was of some part the coast of Washington state. He | does not know that 1 have it, but 1 am expecting him to miss 1t at any time and ask for it.
 | Fears Discovery of Jap. | "I am frightened to death. He often says to me: We are a wise people, meaning the Japanese. He hopes that you will not pass some battle ship bill I do not know anything about this, but I have also heard him say that he does not want to see you in- crease the army, either. He does not allow me to read the newspapers, so I am ignorant of what congress Is doing 1 am writing this while he Is asleep I am afraid he will awake and catch me. That is the reason am not writing with ink.
 Please accept this from patriotic womar. I am afraid to tell my name. We leave St. Joseph in the morning | for Kansas City, Mo. God help you"
 The letter did not create any ex- citement around the capitol. One or two sarcastically mentioned that the | jingoes, the two battleship advocates and the war scare boomers, were cer- tainly getting active along various lines these days.

The fine leaves of cabbage, if chop
ped UP fine or grated. are all right
for chickens four or five weeks old
Lettuce is better for them while
younger, but do not give them more
than they will eat with a relish
Little chickens with colds should
be kept dry and off damp ground. 1t
is hard to cure these troubles and
if you will take care of them right,
they will not have them. 1t is much
easier to prevent than to cure. Con-
