The Child.

The most sacred thing in the com mOnwealth and to the commonwealth is the child. whether it be your child or the child of the dull faced mother of the hoveI. The child of the dull faced mother may. for all you know. he the most capable child in the state. At its worst 1t is capable of good citizenship and a useful life If its intelligence be quickened and trained. Several of the strongest personalities that were born in North Carolina were men whose very fathers were unknown. We have all known two such who held high places in church and state. President Eliot said a little while ago that the ablest man that he had known in many years connection with Harvard uni versity was the son of brick mason. The child. whether it have poor par ents or rich parents. is the most valua- ble undeveloped resource in the state. Walter Hines Page.

 Many anecdotes IL. S,i tod in .Ia- pan about tho late E.i! Euu. all of which are calculated to St.tE"ii,ru the admi' ration held for the e. V.t,d monarch on account of his benev"tn C and sim plicity. as well as his wisdom.
 At one time ling wnS Il favortte pastime at the Japanese court and his majesty was able with ease to throw all the court attendants and officials. One man, however. Yamaoka Tetsu- taro, was very anxious to throw the emperor because he was afraid that the latter might become too proud of his prowess in that and other sports. Finally the emperor challenged Eama- oka, and the latter threw the sovereign with great force.
 The monarch, so the story goes. was not too pleased at the defeat. but was too good q sportsman to say anything. Later Yamaoka resigned his position at court on the plea that. though he had defeated the emperor for the good of the throne and the country, yet in doing so he had subjected his SOver- eign to q heinous indiGnity. The mon- arch. however. absolutely refused to accept the reSignat tiOn. saying:
 "You have done well to show that the ring is no respecter of persons, and I appreciate your loyal spirit in beating me-" At all events Yamaoka was in high favor at court thereafter | Tokyo Gazette.
