JAPAN OFFERS EXAMPLE.

One Of the best signs of what i'm por1znce the opening of the canal is going to be is the activity among the foreign nations in anticipation of the time and the use which they can make of It. Japan is among the countries which are putting commendable energy into preparations following an inves- Gga1ion into the economic benefits which will result from the use of such a shortcut 10 the Atlantic ports of this country Japan is not only planning on getting the benefit of direct trade with the. east coast of this country, hut T. is also contemplating doing it's share Of business with the east coast of South America even to the point of substituting steamship lines thereto Three Of the Japanese steamship com panies are already constructing yes seis for the canal service. In the past two years 12,0OO Japanese have To- ca1ed in Brazil and South America and the shorter route will mean many more
 It is apparent that the land of the rnikado believes in the story of the early bird. 4 study of the situation has given it an optimistic attitude over the canal and fl is preparing to get the benefits from it in a manner which affords this country an excellent les son. This country has provided the way. Il desires its share of foreign trade and particularly with South America but though it is in an advan- IzgeOus position fl is making Jess eff forts to profit from its outlay than is fne island Kingdom.

Babies and Daddies.

Since me an Lizzie got married been payin' lots more 'tention to fel- lows I know that's married
 Its gets on my nerves to hear 'em blOwin' about their babies. If I hadn't seen some O their young uns once or twice I'd think their wives was bringin' up one O the twelve apostles.
 'Mebbe I got jelly on my face, but it sure is tough to have to listen to Danny Lynch's brotheT-in law tell in about his. kid. They aint nothin' ever read or heard tell of that kid can't do, 'cording to his father.
 Last Sunday night me an Lizzie went over to see that prize baby. was lookin' for big, fine lookin' in fant that could sing like a opery star an talk so smart us guys'd have to get a dictionary to set in tn room. That baby had a shape like a drink O water an made a noise like screek- in barn door hinges.
 But ain't 1t a good thing they s 1t! If it was left to me an you, mo- body's kids 'cept our'n would get boosted
 "Theys jus one kind of club they never been able to start, an that's a fathers club You see, they's no common enough fathers, but each ones kid is in a class by itself You never see one daddy tryin to tell another daddy about his smart young un. They's somethin' in tn glare of tn other daddy's eye that keeps tn braggin' daddy quiet.
 None of 'em likes to listen. Most fathers get gabby when you let em talk kids.
 Don't stand in tn doorway!
 Move in or out, please!
 Look where you step!"

TASTY KAHN LAW.

One of the results of nasty legisla- ffon is shown by the Kahn bill which was recently made law for the pur- pose of helping out the exposition in San Francisco and preventing the rights of those holding patents and copyrights from being stolen Such was the aim of the legislation and such would have afforded the protec- tion which is proper. if all countries had the same regulations concerning patents and copyrights as exist in this country, Unfortunately for all occa- sions they do not, There are many foreign governments which issue pat ents. copyrights and designs under most iibsFaI regulations, With such foreign registration being accepted as protec- ten in this country. it is liable to re- suit that many things which are free from sn character of protection here viii be covered by such foreign meth eds, It also furnishes a capital op- peFtunfty for those who are constant iy on the watch to make trouble. It is open to the grave danger of man EfactureF being restrained from pro- dueiag his own goods which while not patented, could be so protected through foreign registration,
 What confusion this would cause in the patent regulation of this eeun- try is easily understood, 1t is from lack of proper consideration before the passage of the law that such defects appear, Fo continue the law would mean being a good Samaritan at the expense af this esaHtry's business. The only thing which remains ts be done, in justice to the manufacturers of this country, is to repeal, or SC amend the ball that ths objectionable features will ss eiEaafRatsd,

LATIN AMERICAN POLICY.

President Wilson deals in an inter esting manner with the Mexican ques- ton in his address at Mobile when he declares that morality is to be the mo- tive not expediency, in dealing with the Latin-American republics. It is a significant statement and one in accordance with the nations policy and which will have it's enthusiastic backing when he declares: T want to take this occasion to say that the United States will not again seek to secure one additional foot of territory by conquest" Such a position places this country in a definite attitude be- fore the Latin-American countries and before the nations of the world It is not a new position. but it is the reiteration of the policy at a time when it is likely to have its best effect upon all concerned
 Such a casting aside of material consideration in the face of the po- sitiou taken by some of the European countries or their representatives is bound to strengthen the course of this government The attitude of this coun- try to the smaller republics has for long been that of a big brother. That the president now emphasizes this anew by declaring that it is the coun- try's duty to assist nations of this hemisphere in emancipation of mate rial interests of other nations, sets forth a relationship which comes close to perfection. The position of the pres ident of this country is diametrically opposite that of the Europeans when it comes to consideration of material in tereSts

TIME CARDS IN LETTER BOXES

The announcement has been made that the p0stofice department has or deTed that the mail boxes about the city shall be painted green, and the contract has been awarded This means there will be some bright new green spots about the town, but it provides nothing which satisfies a long standing want of the people. While of course there is reason 10 be thank ful for whatever contributes to the improvement of the appearance of the streets, and il must be admitted that the painting of the letter boxes does 10 certain small extent yet at the same time il is realized by the public that the redecOration of the boxes might be postponed for an indefinite period, if through such sacrifice of beauty some attention could be given 10 satisfying the public demand for box cards which designate the time Of mail collections

THE HISTORY OF MIKE

 sails by! I should think they'd get so mad they couldn't stand 1t! Hes l perfectly brazen!"
 T like Mike said Chilling. "He 1 has character.
 T believe he's petrihed," said Mrs. l Chilling one day. He eats like a 1 young pig and yet he doesn't grow 1 bit!'
 1 All summer long Mike fourished and when cool weather came and the | wriggling goldfish were scooped out and taken into theo house there was a. council of war over the slum mem Der of the Gilhillings, t1sh famly- small aquariumi' cried GiIfilling. He should be put back inSp the lake after such a plucky existence and given a show"
 All right, you catch him!" said Mrs Chilling.
 After half hours work. Chilling gave up and Mike was left with the whole pool to himself
 And after that the basin was drained A small and muddy one inch pool remained at the lowest net struggled in vain to catch Mike. Then of a sudden he disappeared. Poking over stray leaves and the re- mains of waterplants did no good. Not a wriggle. not a movement re- suited.
 My goodness." Mrs Chilling said sadly T must have hit him with the net and killed him. he's so little"
 Quite saddened. she proceeded to scrub the muddy basin with broom and cleaning powder and water. Af- ter while, down in the black and soapy fluid in the center, she detected Mike gasping for breath. He quietly submitted to being hauled out and put into a pan of clean water.
 You're the limit" scolded Mrs. Chilling. with real pride. There isn't another human fish that could live through what you have! I'm go- ing to take you to the lake this m1n- ute You deserve reward!
 To the big lake Mrs. Chilling trudged, bearing Mike tenderly. Se- lecting a shallow spot which gave view of the clear sandy water for a considerable distance she gently spilled Mike in.
 Stunned for a moment by the space and the sunlight, he floated idly, then kicking up his heels and taking a deep breath he shot forward reckleesIy, tremendously-right into the jaws of a big hungry perch turk ing in the shadow of a stone!
 Anyhow Mrs. Chilling sniffled on GiihIling's shoulder as she related the tragedy. anyhow, Mike died natural death-that's something to be thankful for!'--Chicago News.

LAWS AND PERSONAL RESPONSE
 HII IITV.

With the constant recurrence of the cases of accidental poisoning from the use of bichloride of mercury through mistake for headache medicine or other harmless tablets, it is time that some concerted action was taken as a protection against the large loss of life which is being recorded from that cause, The action of the coroner of New York to bring the matter before the state legislature and his suggestion that some federal action be taken ought to meet with a hearty response.
 By such legislation as proposed there would be thrown about this deadly poison every protection which could be given by the manufacturers in the way of color, distinctive form and la bels and possibly some further restric- tions concerning its sale. It is rec ognized however, that as is the case with many of the poisonings, there is a certain amount of personal re- sponsibility which is not. but should be realized
 Laws can do a great deal. and should do all that is expected Of them but they cannot overcome negligence in connection with the use of poison, when no attention is paid to separat- ing them from other medicine. or ob- serving the precautions or the warn ings given. Nothing has been given more publicity than the many eases where bichloride of mercury has been mistaken for headache tablets and yet that experience is being repeated all most every day. With stricter laws there must go hand in hand the recog- hilton on the part of the public that poison in every form is dangerous, and full respect paid to such a fact There is much that can be done in the way of self preservation, as the bichloride of mercury cases have shown.

In rare moments of exuberance last summer the Gilfllings were wont tc 1 take their seine and seeking a se- cluded spot on the lake shore neal their suburban home, make a catch of minnows, After that they fishe6 in peace from the little pier Usually
 they dumped the surplus bait into the fountain basin which adorned their lawn, scooptng the minnows out as occasion demanded
 Therefore the GtlhIlings were dub
 bed queer by most of their neighbors and were adored by all the small
 boys of the neighborhood, who were privileged to go to the fountain and help themselves.
 It was different after the goldfish arrived. They were very special goldfish with ruffles and frills and spots and specl1les ard when they Were once in the fountain it was plainly to be seen that they could not be contaminated by the plebeian so- ciety of more ordinary lake minnoWs. thing" decided Mrs. Chilling as they watched their new acquisitions dart ing around. "They-oh, Harold whats that?"
 They peered at something tiny and dark that was flashing around among the goldfish. "Oh, that's a stray min now left over" announced Chilling. Thought l got 'em all out-he won't last long, I Xpect-theyIl eat him."
 The minnow was extremely tiny but very agile. A week later Mrs. Gil- filling exclaimed in surprise that the minnow was still among those pres ent. And you just ought to see those great big goldfish scamper to get out of his way!" she told Gil filling. They are awfuIly afraid of him. Maybe that little fellow bites them!"
 He probably makes faces at them" suggested Chilling. Goldfish have sensitive natures and doubtless when they rush away they are mere ly seeking a secluded spot to weep. That minniw is a plucky little beg gar-lets' call him Mike!"
 Mike fourished. Not at all awed by the gold monsters around him, he dashed about the pool joyously, con- temptuous1y flirting his tail in their glittering faces. Mrs. Chilling, who now passed a good deal of time by the fountain, Watching Mike, con- fded that one purple spotted gold fish had grown so infuriated by Mikes impish tricks that he finally mus tered up enough courage to chase the small intruder.
 Once" she said. he caught up with Mike and bit his tail-and Mike just turned around and said some thing emphatically and you should have seen the goldfish sink away! When I sprinkle their food on the water Mike always rushes up ahead

 Mrs. Pankhurst has been a, lawless woman. She has proved herself a dan gerous chara cter. Regardless of the cause she espouses, she fosters the traits of an anarchist Twice she has been imprisoned for alleged arson, and in at least one instance human lives were reported to have been leopard ized. According to immigration au- thorities her offenses come under the head of moral turpitude. To admit her to this country would be to sanction her criminal career and encourage her, and those of her kind, in it. To send her back is merely to enforce the law in her case the same as in other cases, and the law is supposed to be no re- specter of persons.-AnsOnia Sentinel,

cultivating ever higher forms of pleasure.
 The savage eats raw flesh, the civi- IiZed man wants it cooked, the more civilized man likes it well cooked
 The value of culture is the regne- ment of wants.
 In a dumb, silly way the world per ceives this and tries to show superi- ority in forms of pleasure that are unusual expensive and exclusive. It dimes at tawdry hotels, wears costly jewels, preens itself in fine clothes and wraps itself in rich furs.
 This is the twisted, perverted mo- tion of what is a great truth.
 All luxury and extravaganza soon become coarse and degrading to real souls. The upper ten get around to the crassness of life of the sub merged tenth.
 They are victims of the great de- fusion.
 The great delusion is that it is complexity that indicates higher life; whereas it is simplicity.
