"Yellow Peril" a Myth.

Bishop Merryman Colbert Harris of the
Methodist Episcopal Church of Korea and
Japan, who visited the President this
morning, assured him that the war scare,
or yellow peril" is myth. The mis-
sionary was emphatic in his assertion
that Japan and her people maintain the
most friendly attitude toward the United
States He added that talk OF war Is
believed by many Japanese to emanate
from this country, and that the rurai
citizens Of that empire are amazed and
frightened by the Issue that has been
raised In various journals.
Bishop Harris has spent more than
thirty-five years in the orient. and IN
formed the President and others that he
met at the executive offices that Japan
has no intention to fight the United states
or any other country.
Japan is our best friend in the east.
said the bishop, land she looks upon
America as her best neighbor The war
talk Of agitators hurts the subjects OF
the mikado, but it will not strain the
friendly relations that now exist between
the two nations"
Tie bishop met the President every time
he visited the land OF Nippon, and today
commended Mr.. Taft on his firm stand
for arbitration and world peace.
Mr.. Taft has always taken Il keen in
terest i'm the eyangeiistic work of the
various churches in japan and China and
the Philippines, and today encouraged
Bishop Harris In his efforts to Christian
izc the people OF the orient.

Urges Tariff Commission Plan.

Mr. Taft made it plain to the Congress
leaders who called that he wants the
tariff commission plan to be the first OF
his measures enacted at this session.
Representative Tawney said that ali ap-
preparation OF s4OO.001 to allow the pres
ent tariff board to continue its work for
two years would be included in the sun
dry civil bill and passed without much
difficulty. This is taken to mean that
the permanent tariff commission, with IN
quisitorial powers as proposed in the
Longworth and Lodge bills. probably VIII
not become a reality at this session.
Despite the fact that the House Is SLOW
in handling the various appropriation
bills, and although the Lorimer situation
Is proving an obstacle to Hesitation IN
the Senate. the executive Is insistent that
his conservation bills and the measure to
fortify the Panama canal be passed be-
fore March 4.

ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA

81, the undersigned, cannot give
enough praise to the Cuticura Rem
edies. L had been doctorfng for at
least year for eczema on my foot. I
had tried doctor after doctor all to
no avail. When a young girl sprained
my ankle three different times, paying
little OF no attention to it, when five
years ago a small spot showed upon
my left ankle. ! was worried and sent
for doctor. He said 1t was eczema
He drew a small bone from the ankle
about the size of a match and about
an inch long. The small hole grew
to about the size of an apple, and the
eczema spread to the knee. The doc
tors never could heal the hole in the
ankle. The whole foot ran water all
the time.
My husband and my sons were up
night and day wheeling me from one
room to another in the hope of giving
me some relief. would sit for hours
at a time in front of the fireplace

SO intense I was almost crazy, in fact.
l would lose my reason for hours at
time. One day a friend of mine
dropped in to see me. No more had
she glanced at my foot than she ex-
claimed: Mrs. Finnegan, why in the
world don't you try the Cuttcura Rem
eldest Being Disguised with the doc
tors and their medicines, and not be-

give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment a trial. After using them
three days that night I slept as sound
as silver dollar for eight long hours.
I awoke in the morning with but very
little pain, in fact, 1 thought 1 was
in heaven. After using the Cuticura
Remedies for three months I was per-
fectly restored to health, thanks to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I

CHAPTER XIV.
His Wffe's Father,

l jumped up and seized the fire
tongs. The cats vail had reused
Hotchkiss, who was wide-awake at
once. He took in my offensive attitude,
the tongs, the direction of my gaze,
and needed nothing more AS he
picked up the candle and darted out
into the hall, followed him. He made
directly for the staircase, and part
way up he turned off to the right
through a small door We were on
the gallery itself; below us the fire
cleaned cheerfully, the cat was not
in sight. There was no sign of my
ghostly visitant, but as we stood there

slid over the railing and fell to the
floor below.
Man or woman" Hotchkiss in
quired in his most professional tone
"Neither-that is, / don't know.
didn't notice anything but the eyes"
l muttered. They were looking
hole in me. If you'd seen that cat
you would realize my state of mind.
That was a traditional graveyard
yowl."
Il don't think you saw anything at
all" he lied cheerfully. You dozed
off, and the rest is the natural result
of meal on a buffet car
Nevertheless, he examined the Box
hara carefully when we went down.
and when l finally went to sleep he
was reading the only book in sight
'Elwell on Bridge" The first rays of
daylight were coming mistily into the
room when he reused me. He had
his finger on his lips, and he whis-
pered sibilantly while l tried to draw
on my distorted boots.
Il think we have him." he said tri-
umphantly. I've been looking around
some, and l can tell you this much.
Just before we came in through the
window last night, another man came
only-he did not drop, as you did.
He swung over to the stair railing,
and then down. The rail is scratched.

- Couldn't see you," l maintained;
II can't see you now. And your sense
of contiguity didn't tell you about that
flower crock"
In the end, of course, he consented
to go with me. He was very lame, and
I helped him around to the open win
dow. He was full of moral courage,
the little man; it was only the phys
ical in him that quailed And as we
CROPPED along, he insisted on going
through the window first.
IF it is a trap" he whispered, Il
have two arms to your one, and, be-
sides, as l said before, life holds much
for you. AS for me, the government
would merely lose an Indifferent EN-
ploye."
When he found l was going first
he was rather hurt, but did not wait
for his protests. l swung my feet
over the sill and dropped. l made a
clutch at the window frame with my
good hand when l found no floor I'M
der my feet, but l was too late. |
dropped probably ten feet and landed
with a crash that seemed to split my
eardrums. l was thoroughly shaken,
but in some miraculous way the band
aged arm had escaped injury.
For heavens sake" Hotchkiss was
calling from above. have you broken
your back?"
NO" l returned, as steadily as
could, merely driven it up through
nv skull. This is a staircase, I'm COM
ing up to open another window.
1t was eerie work, but l accom-
plished it finally, discovering, not with
ont mishap, a room filled with more
tables than l had ever dreamed OF,
tables that seemed to waylay and
strike at me. When l had got a win
dow open, Hotchkiss crawIed through
and we were at last under shelter.
Our first thought was for a light
The same laborious investigation that
had landed us where we we're re-
veaIed that the house was lighted ~

in oneratfon. By accident l stumbled
across a tabouret with smoking ma
terials, and found half dozen match
