They had but recently arrived in

of foreign languages.
Little Willie had heard so much
about the "get-quick foreign language

Dor were called upon to give an ex-
hibition of their progress in modern
languages, they were quite ready to
do so. Doting fathers, uncles and
aunts sat about, and when the lesson
had been completed, and proper praise
had been bestowed, little Willie looked
confidently at his audience, and with
a shake of his little curls, said, Res

How asaken Is Made.

The crown prince Of Japan sent a
consignment of sake" to the British
crews attacking K%iauchau. This bev-
erage, which should be drunk warm
to appreciate its full favor, is of a
clear, light yellow color and tastes
like highly seasoned sherry. 1t is
made of steamed rice, treated by a
process which converts the starch
into sugar; fermentation sets in and
sake is produced. The character of
the water has a definite effect on the
liquor that results. Hence, for the
best quality of sake only the best wa
ter is employed. Am excise duty
equivalent to rs cents per gallon is
levied ION sake, the amount thus raised
in 1912 totaling $28,0O0.O0O. The name
is said ITO be derived from the town Of
Dsake, which, from time immemoriaa,
aas bsen famous for sake brewing.

Chicago.-To a little s~even-line story
printed in a Chicago paper nine
months ago, Mrs. Alice Clement, Chi
cage policeWoman, ascribes the end OF
a ~nine-months' search which resulted
in locating Lillian Coyne, a fourteen
year-old heiress, who left for Ireland
to claim a legacy.
The story of the search and finding
of the, girl sounds more like fiction
than a page taken from the record
book of a policewoman. Ten years ago
Lillian Coyne's father died in Chicago.
Her mother married Isaac Meisner OF
No. 600 Wells street and died shortly
after. Lillian was given into the care
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Morris, who
later moved to Key West, Fla.
Bishop, an Uncle, Begins Search.
Then, apparently, the rapid changes
in the girls life ceased. For ten years
she lived as the child Of the Morrises.
Last winter Rt. Rev. Bishop Ber'
nard Coyne of Elphin, Ireland, an
uncle of Lillian, started steps to find
her. The girl was named by another
uncle in his will. Bishop Coyne wrote
to Father Cody Of Newark, N. J., who
in turn wrote to Rev. J. J.. Morrissey
Of the Church of the Blessed Sacra-
ment in Chicago, asking aid in find
ing the girl. Father Morrisey went
to John J. Halpin, at that time chief
of detectives. He placed the case In
Mrs. Clements hands, who told a re
porter about it.
Another Uncle Sees Story.
THAT story is responsible for the
finding of Lillian" said Mrs. Clement
"An uncle by the name of Oscar
Busch read the story and called me
up. He said the girl had been adopted
by the Morrises, who since had moved
to Key West. traced them dowr
there, only to learn that they hat
