However,

sual for young man SO favored. But
he says Il ullu cannot begin business

His father. a retired jobber, also be-

his ambition, and his perseverance
made such an impression that the
farmers sympathies were aroused.
Yamashita was determined to have aG
interview with Bryan.
At 5ryan's Home.
About this time Yamashita got a
letter from Bryan advising him not to
come to Lincoln. The weather was
very cold in Lincoln, and, besides,
youth of such honesty of purpose as
Yamashita must succeed anywhere,
wrote Bryan But Yamashita had
made up his mind that he wouldn't
give up unless Bryan turned him down
personally. The farmer gave him
basket of food and some money.
With $45 of his limited funds he
bought ticket for Lincoln and wired
Bryan that he had started. He arriv-
ed in Lincoln at night with 1925 in his
pocket. The hotel man wanted $3.50
for nights board and lodging, but
took So after Yamashita had explained
the purport of his visit.
Next morning Yamashita presented
himself at the Bryan home and was
met at the door by Mrs. Bryan. Mr..
Bryan was in bed sick. Mrs. Bryan
invited him in. Later in the day Mr..
Bryan appeared, and the upshot of
their conversation was that Yamashita
was told he could stay. He was given
room for himself and separate
table in the dining room. This was
in November, 1897, and it was cold, as
Bryan had written. The following day
Bryan bought him a suit of heavy
clothes and an overcoat.
His American Education.
Bryan got Professor Caldwell of the
University Of Nebraska to teach Yama-
shita American history, while he him
self spent hours with the Japanese in
structing him in other subjects. va
| mashita also had access to Bryan's
library. He attended the high school
and later the University Of Nebraska,
| from which he was graduated.
Yamashita stayed at Bryan's home
| for six years. In 1904 he went back
| 10 Japan. For a year and half he
was an instructor at the Negoya Com
mercial academy and then made six
months tour of the world with Speak
er Haseba of the house of commons.
He was secretary to the president of
| the Tokyo Interstate exposition in
1908. He had charge of the Japan
Gazette in 1909 Last November he
became connected with the 1917 ex-
position. He is also manager of the

How long can you go without sleep2
Not thirty days, nor fifteen days, nor

Moreover, the medical books tell US
the food we eat is transformed into

way Nature makes sleep 'the chief
nourisher of life's feast" changing the
food into flesh and blood and nerve

Rcrcstics.

Acrostics are ancient They exist
even In the Psalms and are to be found
in many profane writer's of antiquity.
They call for no great exercise of
skill and have therefore been very pop
ular. Sometimes they we're employed
as kind of secret writing. and indeed
the term is said to have been first ap-
piled tosthe utteranees of one of the
oracular sibyls. whose cryptic words
could only be discovered by piecing
together the initial letters of her pages.
PlautUs wrote the arguments of his
comedies In acrostfe form. From sim.
pie acrostics 1t was easy to proceed to
compound ones. In which middle or
end letters played their part. and the
composition of cryptograms probably
had this origin. There is story of a
lover who took half year to concoct
an anagram on the name Of his lady
and then found to his horror that be
had misspelled her name. His chagrin
was so intense that be lost his senses.
