Hard Times.

In speaking Of hard times
calamity howlers the Oklahoman
has this to say:
"All the old spawned politi-
clans who held office without
let or hindrance during republi-
can sway are now out of job
and forced to hustle for a living.
1t is a simple statement of fact,
therefore, when we say that
they are squarely up against dis
tressingly hard times"

A Mistake.

In making the announcement
of Sandy w. Gregory in this pa
per for county clerk, mistake
was made in the amount allowed
him for deputy hire.
We stated that the law allows
him 500 deputy hire and he had
saved nearly $500 of it when the
law allows him 5000 for deputy
hire and ne has saved nearly $70O
of the amount.

The path wound through the jungle

JAPAN IGNORES TIME,
Immediately" There May Mean Nav
or Next Month.

CT NeHt MONTH.
Impotence among the Japanese is a
thing you will rarely observe as you
travel about through their strange and
beautiful country. If, on the other
hand, you yourself in touring Japan
might, upon occasion, grow somewhat
impatient, you will only become the
quiet laughing stock-behind your
back of the little Japs themselves.
An hour, or even day, more or less
in this oriental country is Of little ac-
count, and matters cannot be made
to move any the quicker because of
any irritability. In fact this latter
acts as an obstacle to your progress as
well as to ones peace of mind. IT, for
example, your jinricksha coolies wish
to stop for meal just after you have
started on trip, you will find it ex-
pedent to accept the delay philosophi-
cally "Storming" will not mend mat
tiers in the least.
If you might chance to be in a large
Jap town with it's steamship docks
lying only mile or two distant, you
naturally would expect to receive re
liable information as to the dates and
hours of sailing for the steamships
You will often be told upon inquiry
at the hotel ofiices-and in perfectly
good faith, tOo-that the steamers
leave daily. Upon arriving at the
docks on schedule time, you find fire.

ton in the least. The Jap word ia
daima," meaning Immediately, may in
reality mean any time between now
and next month.
TO all of your queries the natives
will say "Shikataganai," lit can't be
elped"-which brings an end to the
matter, SO far as the native is con
cernGd. Incidentally, you might as
well initiate his example. 1t will save
you much waste of energy and loss of
comfort, and if you are to enjoy your
travel in Japan you will readily learn
the art of "resignation'' to your fate
and you oftentimes will have many
good opportunities of studying Japa-
neSe life i'll its natural pictorial set

nearly every casual Jap acquaintance
you meet asks you Il lot of personal
