From a japanese.

Two Women written by Adachi Kin
nosuke. an educated Japanese gentleman
who is acquiring a high reputation in lit
erary circles of the United States. APP
pears In our next Sunday Magazine. The
two mothers were a japanese and ko-
rean, and the scene is in Korea after the
annexation by japan. The Korean
mother murdered the husband OF the
other because he had killed her husband,
and then this female assassin was turned
over to the wife of the officer she had
slain to take such vengeance as she
chose. The two women were in a lonely
hut alone 1t is here and in working
out the tremendous drama that Mr..
Adachis literary skill is shown. He does
1t wonderfully. His story will certainly
receive votes in the n-thousand-dollar
prize contest, in which he has entered 1t.

Incident of Commander Sims Not
Only One in Recent Years.
From the New Orleans Piayune
The .unlucl1y experience Of Commander
Sims, growing out Of his effusive speech
in London about the last dollar and
the last drop Of blood" followed closely,
as It has been, by the indiscreet speech
Of the Japanese admiral at Panama, crit
icising President Taft's proposal to for
tify the Panama Canal, serves to show
that however distinguished sailors have
become in their chosen calling, they are
not adept after-dinner speakers. 1t Is
not SO many years since Admiral Cogh-
Ian, one of the heroes of Manila Bay
created an international incident by his
''HoSh der Kaiser" speech, and fighting
Bob Evans has on more than one oc-
casion got into more or less trouble by
indiscreet utterances.
Our naval friends should cultivate
greater diplomatic eduipoise. and If they
find that they are not capable of OPEN
ing their mouth after dinner without
putting their foot in It, they should sh1n
after-dinner speaking. 1t is dangerous
pastime for any public man, as even
Emperor William Of Germany himself
has discovered on several memorable oc-
caslons, and the record seems to indicate
that the habit Is peculiarly fatal for
our fighting naval heroes.

A Popular FaIIaoy.
From TidbitA

A growing boy in a Lancashire factory,
town had obtained a small job-his first
and was boasting OF the amount Of
work he did.
IT gets up at half-past five o'clock and
has my breakfast" said he.
ANY one else get up. tooT'' he waG.
asked.
"oh, yes; mother. She gets me break
fast, and then she gets dads at half
past six"
And your dinner?"
"oh. mother gets that, too. and then
she gets fathers
Has she the forenoon to herself?"
''Oh, no! She cleans up. looks after the
children, and gets the tea for dad and
me when we come home. We gets our
smoke. and then we gets to bed"
And your mother
We'll, she does a bit Of sewing then,

attention. They and they alone awake
the audience to an appreciation that at
times stops the play by its righteousness.
The farce is split in two sections. The
first is called The Magic Ring" and in
1t Morton and Moore get chance to ring
in their old vaudeville dialogue of clock
and Snowman with some effect. After the
clock and the Snowman, the women as
sumo the position they maintain through
out the piece, with Miss Mildred Eaine,
as Cherie, just over from that Gay Paree,
aud Miss Rita Redmond, as the American
widow, easily leading.
The second section Of the burlesque Is
the better of the two. In it some anus
ing situations arise. The scene Is placed
in Paris, where Morton impersonates an
American pugilist, Spike Mccarthy, while
Moore is Dan Mccormick, his manager.
This worthy duet, in some mysterious
way, find themselves in a French lingerie
shop, and there the fun and farce reach
the pinnacle Of riotous hilarity.
Ever since the Victoria Roof made its
debut, with a replica of Mrs. o. H. P.
Belmont's suffragette farm at Hemp
stead, Long Island. manned by charm
ing chorus girls. neatly attired in blue
overalls, uneasiness has been rife in
the real Belmont enterprise, and scan
dal has 1t that the suffragettes at
Hampstead have been casting sleeps
eyes at their more fortunate sisters and
their enviable contiguity to trousers.
Not that the Belmont suffragettes de-
mand overalls for their personal use
far from it, They simply crave the so
ciety Of that uncomfortable garment
when 1t adorns the manly figure Of the
opposite sex. In a word. they are de-
lighted with the potato-hoeing, grass
cutting labor of the female farm, but
are grown exceedingly weary Of labor
without love.
To the alienation of this sad state
Of affairs then. the Belmont farmettes
petitioned their patroness. calling at
tention, 1t is said, to the far better fate
Of their contemporaries on the Victoria
Roof, and begging her to lift the ban
upon mere man" that her charges
might try their powers Of fascination
upon the yokelry of the surrounding
countryside. So strong a plea did they
make that Mrs. Belmont took pity upon
them and has placed at their disposall
several boats and a barn, wherein
dances are to be held, so that now the
overalls. though they do not adorn the
suffragettes themselves, will at least
be within speaking distance.

If the mountain is. in the way of the

where Massachusetts, avenue extended
bumps into large, rounded hill.
To make way for the avenue and to
prepare the adjacent property for build
ing purposes a half dozen steam shovels
are rapidly biting of large slices from
the hillside. Within a few weeks they
will be chewing OF the top Of the hill,
and here is where Georgetown will lose
one of its oldest natural landmarks-the
magnificent signal oak that stands in the
majesty of its hoary age on the very
crest Of the hill at Wisconsin avenue,
pointing its branches at a panorama
of Washington, the river, and the VIr-
ginia shore, that stretches for miles on
every side.
Nobody knows Just how old this oak
town can remember the tree only as q
fully grown, well-seasoned old oak. It
looked just as old when the Union army
signal corps stood under its spreading
branches and wigwagged to the feet in
the river or the troops on the Virginia
shore. 1t was apparently no younger
when the pilots in the days Of George

after the Revolution, were wont to use
1t as range mark in steering their
course up the river from Alexandria

to the nearest planning mill.
Inquiry in the neighborhood OF the tree
revealed a few old-time residents OF the
locality who distinctly remember having
watched the Union signal officers wig
wagging day and night, from beneath
its mighty branches. Old-timers among
the river men say the tree was used as
a range from the earliest days OF river
navigation to the time when the channel
was dredged and buoyed. 1t stands
