Nogi's Strange Loyalty.

Greater love hath no man
than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends" as is
written in John, and it may be
added that the hero of Port
Arthur, the japanese Count
Nogi, exhibited a greater love
for a sentiment that is usual in
modern times, says the News
Scimitar. His deliberate suicide
after the death of his chieftain,
as well as that of his venerable
wife, was a hearkening back to
feudal times, when it was Gus
tomary for dependents and prin-
cipal retainers to commit suicide
on the death of the lord of the
manor, so that his spirit would
have ample company, and not be
compelled to wander alone
through the realms of disem-
bodied spirits.
Nogi was a soldier of the high
est order, and revered his en-
peror. His ruler was to him the
incarnation of his country, and
loyalty to him was the highest
form of patriotism and the SUI
preme expression of love. He
could do no more, and he would
have considered himself lacking
in duty had he done less. In
our western way of thinking the
action of the ~illustrious warrior
seems foolishly sentimental; but
in the oriental meaning it is
quite different, especially to
those of the old school, who be-
lieVe in the past, and the mem
orable things which made that
past great in their eyes. The
western man would have chung
to life and INDUCED in conven-
tional mourning. Not so the
oriental; and yet probably he
was quite as practical as we.
Nogi had served his mas
ter until death called that mas
ter hence. A new order had al
arrived, in which he could
take only an advisory part, and
not an active part. His life work
was complete, and all that was

Constipation viii Vanish

Balky Livers and Upset Stom-
achs Quickly Put in Prime Con-
dition with Hot Springs
Liver Buttons
The secret of success in life
is to keep your bowels open and
keep your mouth shut" said a
great professor.
Any one who suffer from con-
stipation, sluggish liver, upset
stomath, headache, dizziness,
nervousness or malaria should go
to any good druggist in Opelou-
sas and vicinity this very day
and get a 25-cent box of Hot.
Liver Buttons. They are
surely the real bIissful, gentle,
sure remedy for constipation.

left for him was to idly await
the approach of the messenger
on the pale horse. He had lost
two sons, his only children, in
the fighting around Port Arthur,
and with them his line was ex-
tinct. He made his will and
settled up his earthly affairs
providing for his wife during her
lifetime, not expecting that she
would accompany him into the
mysterious beyond. He had no
further interest in the world,
and as he had been wrapped up
in the love of his emperor during
his lifetime it was only a natural
desire that he should wish to
accompany him in spirit, as the
world had no further interest for
him or demands on him. His
wife, who committed hari-kari
at the same time, or Immediately
afterWard, proved her loyalty to
her besieged lord. From the
Christian standpoint, she violated
a great law in a most fragrant
manner; but for this we should
not condemn her while sounding
the praises of our western wom-
an, Mrs Strauss, who did prac-
tically the same thing, the differ
ence being that she adopted a
different method The oriental
woman proved that she was both
a wife and a willing oblation of
sacrifice. The alter and the op-
portunity were there, and she
willing offered herself up. We
practical people may not feel like
endorsing this curious domino
ton Of the spirit; but even the
greatest paramatist among us
will feel the better for knowing
that such deep and ~allcompelling
sentiment can abide in this world
of ours. The same honors and
immortelles that will Ee laid up
on the last resting place of Count
Nogi belong also of right upon
the tomb of his self-sacrificing
wife.
