best to master the language Of the

able to read a word, and there is only
about fourteen minutes left" said
Ford again, as he slowly answered:
81, |, Br. @. NJ, Miss Nellie. Are
you up and dressed already"
"Been out watching the surveyors
laying drains," she started pleas
Iantly.
Ford had been racking his mind
for plan whereby she could stop
that train.
Her words gave him an inspira-
ton.
"Say, Ne, copy this, and don't
brcck me-:
"Please rush down to the railroad.
Pick up that red flag the surveyors
use to lay the drains, that is standing
near the gate, and wave it beside the
track until you stop that south
bound freight. Tell them to get in
that siding quick and let two trains
pass north. Got past orders. Show
them this message"
80. X" she started.
Ford now fairly snapped out the
characters:
"For heavens sake, hurry"
+ She had about ten minutes In
which to make it.
Turning to the train wire, he an
swered:
81, I, Br. V, Z there?"

patcher started angrily.
With forced deliberation, Ford
broke in:
"Using lanterns, didn't turn board

utes if need wrecker."
And he closed the wire. q.
The dispatcher made a few dots in
an excited, aimless way; then, evil
lently thinking, "There's no use
bawling that dub out" also closed
his key.
Ford spent the worst quarter of an
hour of his life walking back and
forth in the small telegraph office,
at every turn looking at the clock,
whose hands seemed to have quit
moving.
Or" started the pony wire.
Ford was beside it before half the
call had sounded.
81, l, Br."
"South-bound train on the siding

Their language is something awful
''Fine, fine, little girl. Please stay

He now called up the dispatcher
and reported the safety of the trains,
adding;
Here's the day man; you and he

When the girl told of the passing
Of the trains north, a message from
the trainmaster, relayed from Bryan
to the girl at College, notified No

Ford returned to the Office some
two hours later, and, calling up the
chief dispatcher, asked:
"When will be relieved ?"
"You have already been relieved,
was the reply.
20. X. Will you pass me into
Houston?"
"No. Walk"

sarcastically, and, speaking to the

Losing my job is such a small

JAPAN TO SPEAK ENGLISH.
More Than 100, COO school Children
Must stud, That Language.

Five hundred teachers of English
have been gathered in TOXIC for
their second conference in the his
tory Of the country. says bit Of
Reuter- correspondence from Japan,
Of the total, about ) per cent are
Foreigners english and American
men and women.
The entire proceedings OF the
conference" says the dispatch. are
conducted in English, and as the
program takes about ten days. the
proficiency of the participants win be
understood to some extent. As a
matter OF fact, few people in the
West understand the extent to which
the study OF English in this country
is being carried. The first of these
conferences Was held at Kioto last
year. and was fairly we'll attended,
but this year the organizers have
every reason to be gratifed One Of
the features is the annual dinner OF
the present conference, Baron Kiku-
chi, president of the Imperial Uni
versity, presided, On his right was
Rt. Rev. Cecil, Anglican Bishop of
South Toxic, and on his left J. Rus
sell Kennedy, the two foreigners Sc
lected as speakers of the evening
The bishop, an Oxford man, inter
ested the japanese teachers of En-
glish with spirited speech on
Thring, the great head master of
| tppingham, and on the education
| that made men
Mr.. Kennedy spoke on Clean
| Journalism and the Wholesome
Newspaper as an Aid to Education
Other speakers were japanese pro-
| fessors from the universities. The
| rapid spread Of the study of En-
glish is as striking as it is interest
ing. In the secondary schools alone
in Japan there are upward OF 100
600 boys and girls studying English
as part OF their course Boys in
these schools must study English
seven hours in each week for five
years, and the girls at least half that
time. 1t is safe to say that within
a few generations English will be
spoken almost universally in Japan,
for it must be remembered that Jap
an can claim the largest percentage
of school attendance of any country
in the world"
