A Restaurant Order in Japan.

A traveller has written an anus

something to eat when on n visit to
Japan. In company with an artist
friend he made his way into a tea

The girl went out, and presently
returned with a lacquered tray hold

Why Chase a Delusion.

Following bad crop season, says
j. A. Darnaby in the Mexico Ledger
the farmer casts about for fairy
land where failures do not occur
and all is ease comfort and plenty.
Soou the train will be loaded
with excited land seeker and dis
contents whose visions of the land
of plenty heightened by the elabo-
rate and picturesque advertising Of
the land agent the railroad promot
er etc.
In another six months there will
be many poor but wiser farmers
seeking again the homes they have
deserted only to find their lands
owned by contented. prosperous
people.
Few countries there are but offer
unusual opportunities, for the farm
er and the shrewd business man
but the percentage of those using
the best judgment in selecting a
new homestead or making a profit
able investment is just as great as
the percentage of winners holding
tickets in the great lotteries of the
world.
Speaking from the standpoint of
d man who has travelled much, who
has covered almost every mile of
country within the United States
and Canada, | can state without
fear of contradiction, there is no
such places as the promised land
of the speculator, and no country
. in which have travelled where the
opportunities are greater than in
the state of Missouri.
This is by no means written as
an advertisement for the Missouri
land owner, but merely as a warn
ing to those contemplating a move
to some country, where this year
conditions were more favorable and
: the time for boosting" moss oppor-
tune.
