of their youth to prepare a store of
household linen, for no girl was left

One after the other of the daugh-

mathematical precision, and was
promptly matched and dispatched,
and it almost never happened that
the swain who came accounting look

house at her youngest sistre.
She was kept in the background I'M
til her elder sister was married off,
because her oldest sister always mar

happen; it was as assured she would
marry first as that the oldest tree in
the forest is the first to fall.
Conditions have changed. There
may still be a lad for every lassie.

Il have seen In my travels several

The cause must evidently be that
girls are better behaved, more amiable
and nicer all around than boys.
THE war, besides teaching me xe-

JAPAN'S GRANDEST OLD MAN,

There is only one Okuma In
Japan or in the world. He is posi-.
lively unique character. As far as
years go he is called an old man and
should long ago have been oslerized
But he is really only seyenty-six
years young and has declared that he
expects to live 80 or SO years longer.
And in spirit he is certainly still a
young man.
He has never been called one Of
the "elder statesmen but he de-
served the appellation as much as
they did. He was prominent in pub.
lie service before any one of them
but he was sidetracked into private
life because he dared to differ with
the policies OF others who later rose
into prominence and he has been
kept In the background because he
was considered too liberal, even too
radical. He has survived all except
three or four of his old colleagues
and rivals.
Okumas career has been long
and versatile one. He has been p'
author, horticulturist, ETC.; and he b
