"THE OLDER SISTER"

~ HE was one of those born-mother-
ly souls. There are some wom-
- en- (for them our warmest
thanks go up to heaven) who come in
to this selfish world equipped with the
mothering instinct.
She was the older sister. The moth
er, weak, lovable and entirely in
competent being, died after she had
brought six girls into life.
The older sister moved naturally up
into the mothers place. She looked
after the younger sisters, mended
their stockings, kept their frocks neat
and their bedrooms in order, their hair
combed, and their nails cleaned.
She watched the home expenditures
checked up the grocery man, and saw
to it that the cook prepared something
fit to eat.
She also attended to father, had his
suits pressed, his laundry well done
and his slippers ready.
There are two classes of human be
ings. One assumes responsibility. The
other avoids it. She assumed it. The

Nor breed, nor creed, nor bulk, nor hue,
The force with which the anvil rings,
Nor care how hard the hammer swings
The might in Drawn, the strength in bone,
Can never serve success alone.
Think you twas Spartan steel and skill
That saved Greece from the Persian

Think you Horatius won the day
And held the bridge through nimble play
OF sword? Or when all Europe lay
Cringing beneath Napoleon's sway,
Twas better guns and cannon balls
That swept the fields and crumbled

All that was splendid in every age
Was written by valor on history's page.

Prophets with sightless eyes
What matter sight or size
When men build to the skies?
What matter numbers, years,
If we disdain our fears?

others unanimously let her.
She sent the children to school. She
got most of their lessons Sfor them.
She was the high wall and the shep-
herd dog and the rear guard of that
family.
She saw them all married. Then she
herself was married. She was beaut-
iful, with demure kind of beauty.
Her husband adored her.
He took her away and loaded her
with attentions. He surrounded her
with servants. Luxuries were at her
hand
She pinned away. She was not hap
py. Some women are by nature wives
and some are by nature mothers. She
ought to have had children, but had
none.
One day her husband was brought
home a cripple. He had been in a
railway accident. He would never be
well again.
They said he should be taken to the
hospital. There she stood firm, in
sisting that she would care for him
herself. So she nursed him. And be-
gan to pick up. To be coddled did not
agree with her; coddling some one she
loved gave her health and happiness.
After her husband died she began
taking care of her sisters children.
Her sisters handed them over to her
as matter of course. She mothered
them all, planned, worked, and
dreamed for them.
Her whole life was spent in an un-
ending sacrifice for others. Perhaps
she deserved no credit" for this, be-
cause she liked to do it.
Once, when she was fifteen, her
father brought home six large, red
apples. She gave each of her sisters
one, laying her own on the kitchen
shelf. They devoured theirs. Then
the two smallest came and stood about
looking at the apple on the shelf.
She cut it in two and gave each one
half. They ate joyfully.
Their explanation of this was that
sister did not like apples!
Perhaps the older sister was def
cient in some way, and possibly there
| was truth in the remarks of some
neighbors, that she lacked spirit, that
She never amounted to much, and that
she would have done better to have
asserted her rights.
Perhaps.

which have entered into the amalgam
to produce the Japanese nation OF to-
day. They are: Patriotism, business
acumen and integrity, and religion and
morals. And these three elements
constitute the necessary elements In
the makeup Of nations and lndlvl-
duals.
The attitude of the best people in
Japan in opposing the action OF the
legislature of California is based pri-
marily upon their loyalty to their
country. They resent insults and i'm
piled thrusts at national honor.
They cannot understand the quality
of our discrimination which will ac-
cept the off-scouring of the earth
from the west but will repudiate the
best that the east has to offer. 1t is
not because they want their people to
enter the United States and become
American citizens.
They simply resent the insult to
their nation and race. Some day the
west will awake to its great mistake
and will understand something OF the
character and worth of this people.
There are dishonest men in Japan
as there are in America, but there is
no racial flaw in japanese character.
Great industrial corporations with
heavy contracts for the government
did more than their contracts called
for in order to attest to the integrity
of the Japanese. They conduct bust
ness on business lines laid down by
the west and they are struggling to
make a place for themselves in the
worlds business affairs.
They are keen and they know the
value of money.
They are initiative and can dupli-
cate the best things made in the west.
They will have industrial problems
which will cause them difficulty even
as we have industrial problems at
home which have been solved, but
their eyes are toward future in
which Japan will hold its own in the
realm of commerce with the world.
They have the ability and the willing
ness to work and endure.
While we may not agree that the
religious and moral history of Japan
is equal to our own, we shall have to
admit that religion has played large
part in her history and that today
ethics is considered to be one of the
chief foundation stones of the repub-
lie.
Religion is recognized by her high
est leaders as essential to true pro-
gress. She has accepted some of the
highest ideals of Christianity in the
conduct of her affairs and has recog-
nized Christian missionaries as her
best friends.
One of the reasons why she resents
our recent action, is the fact that it
doesn't comport with the ideals of
Christianity as she has learned them
from our representatives. Today Jap
an is fast approximating her interna-

WHO is JAPAN?

n UT you say, who is Japan? Why
* should we be concerned about
her or her ACKNOWLEDGMENT :?
Why may we not refuse to recognize
her?
The reasons why we may not so
consider her are many. When our
fathers were barbarians in the wilds
of Europe, these Japanese were cult
ured and civilized in many respects.
Asleep for centuries the Monaghan
has at last awakened. The western
branch, Japan, awoke fifty or sixty
years ago and her sister nation has
accomplished more in the past five
years toward constitutional govern
ment than many Wanted western
powers have done in century. The
Mongolian is intelligent, courteous,
chivalrous, brave, patriotic.
For fifty years and more Japan
has stood before the world as nation.
She has knocked at the door of the
worlds powers and has been admit
ted to its sacred rights and privileges.
Her progress has been remarkable.
She has fought one of the greatest
world powers and defeated her, and
moreover carried on her warfare in a
manner as humane and Christian as it
is possible for war to be carried on.
She has adopted a system of educa-
ton which in some respects outclasses
that of her teachers.

The spring racing season in Mary land
got under way yesterday at Marlboro

sport, despite the light rain during the

Twelve coaches conveyed the patrons

B0EHLING AND ENGEL TO

Jennings Does Not Believe in

Other Gossip.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

Fresh arguments for a complete re-
vision of the major league training trips
are coming from every source, and 1t
will not be at all surprising il by next
year most of the clubs adopt sys-
tenn similar to that put in vogue by Man
ager Griffith.
These trips to the far south are prov
ing most unsatisfactory to the managers
of other clubs, whose players are not be-
ing benefited by the spring work. Under
existing conditions the benefits of the
weeks spent at the training camp are
practically thrown away by the long
schedule Of exhibition games played en-
route home, which bring about all sorts
of railroad jumps and poor accommoda-
tons.
Griffith kept his team at Charlottesville
for three weeks, and then has the rest
of the time on his own grounds. The re-
suit is that his team is in much better
shape than any Of his rivals. and this
pan is attracting the attention of other
managers. who propose to follow his plan
as near as possible. Most of the major
league clubs are still struggling through
the south en- route home. entailing. as it
does, all sorts Of hardships not tending
to keep a lot of ball players in good con-
dition.
Joe Boehling will face the Brooklyns
today for four or five innings. while Joe
Engel will pitch the remainder of the
game. Bill Dahlen will probably pitch
Ragan and Rucker, both OF whom are
said to be in good form.
There is no more interesting character
in base ball than Bill Dahlen. Bill broke
into the major leagues under Arson in
1891 In Chicago, and Anson's trouble
started with his coming. Bills great de-
light in those days was to throw the ball
low in practice, thus causing Arson no
end of trouble. Though repeatedly
warned to cease this sort of jok 'ng,
Dah!en continued, and Griffith, who was
on the same team, is sponsor for the
story that Arson started after Dahlen
one morning at 10, while practice was
on. and was still chasing him at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon, when the players re-
ported for the game. Dahlen had taken
refuge at the top of the bleachers, while
Arson, bat in hand, sat on lower row,
waiting for Dahlen to come within reach.

Charley O'Leary, who for several years
was the star shortstop of the American
League and one of the mainstays OF the
Detroit team, has returned to fast COM
pany and is playing short field for the
ST. Louis Cardinals in the absence of
HauSer who is injured.
O'Leary should never have been al
lowed to get out of the American League
when he was sent to Indianapolis. There
were several clubs who could have used
him to advantage, and he will probably
prove this by his work for the Cardinals
this season.
No manager in either pennant race will
have as many wellwishers as Frank
Chance of the New York Americans. The
former leader of the Cubs will have the
moral support of nearly every fan in the
two circuits. Nothing would be more
pleasing to the patrons of the game than
to see Chance land his team near the
top, and display good form in his own
playing. CHARGE, always popular, was
made more so by reason of the stand
which Charley Murphy took against him.
The base ball public wants to see Murphy
repudiated, and Chance by making good
showing this year is the one person who
can turn the trick.
To date the outlook is bright. Not only
is he playing good ball but he seems to
have improved his team a whole lot
For some unaccountable reason 1t seems
that Hank O'Day will not ornament either

the leagues would be anxious to add the
veteran official to it's staff, but O'Day,
who has had a taste of managing
ma or league team, seems to be through
with the umpiring end of the game. 1t is
understood that O'Day demands the
largest salary that an umpire ever pulled
down to get back into the game, and
neither league seems willing to accede
to his demands

It is desired to give the country bank

own business.
"By country banks is meant the
small banks, those of $250,000 capital
and less, the little fellows in the one

Such banks compose at least Is per
