OF the families claimed that they were

to the Spanish consul, who referred
them TO Mr.. Kearns.

thought, or not paying sufficient atten.

that he took them into his care and
for two weeks fed and lodged them at

In the interim Mr.. Kearns communi.

Baldwin advised him that the Span.

The Spaniards went back to the

WHY THE JAPANESE
GOOD SOLDIER

T. OR hundreds of years Japan has
bred soldiers of the very first
rank. Long before the crusades Nip
pom counted her warriors in tens of
thousands, a fixed proportion of the
population being reserved for military
life Almost from the cradle many
Japanese were trained and perfected in
the soldierly arts. These were the
Samurai, occupying a position between
the mobiles on the one hand and the
people on the other. Their lives were
regulated by a rigid code of honor.
To them it was a religion known as
"bushido."
their birth The first words he was
taught to lisp were those of devotion
of country and sovereign, and his first
toys were mimic weapons of war. His
first lessons were with reference to
their use and the practice of courage,
self-denial and all the qualities of a
warrior. He was taught that the
greatest glory one could achieve was
to die for ones country. Death in the
most terrible forms was preferable to
the least dishonor.
To develop in him self-reliance boy
would be sent alone on long and ar
duous journeys among strangers; to
render him proof against hardship he
was made to rise at night in midwinter
to set out on long tramps. He was
even sent to witness executions in
order that his mind might become in
,ured to horrors. In this way the lad
became familiar with all manner of
things from which the ordinary boy
might well shrink. He was carefully
trained to become an expert fencer and
bowman--for. until comparatively re-
cent times, the bow and arrow were
Japans favorite weapons. He was
early initiated into the mysteries OF
| u-jitsu. He qualified as a horseman
| and spearman and mastered the theory
| of war. Indeed. aside from the neces-
sary reading and writing" there was
| little in his education not directed to
the one end of making him perfect
| soldier
| He was taught to despise money and
| to welcome poverty and hunger when
necessary for his countrys welfare; to
| forgive injuries that did not touch his
| honor, but to guard the latter Jealous
| ly against the slightest assault TIC
| such a degree was this passion car

She was much sought after and admired.

morning to enable her to start the day.

Her lovely complexion is gone. her teeth

ried that lives were often sacrificed in
it's vindication on the most Quixotic
grounds. An instance in point is this:
citizen had called the attention of
an officer to the fact that he had flea
on his back. No sooner was this in
nocent information offered than out
flashed the soldiers sword and the citi-
zen was cut in two. Since. argued the
warrior, f1eas are parasites that feed
on animals, it Is an objectionable In
suit to a warrior to identify him with
an animal.
Trained for centuries in such school
as this. it is no wonder that the sol
dies of Japan are among the finest In
the world. Although the Samurai, as a
distinct class, ceased to exist when the
feudal system was brought to a con-
clusion in 1870, the same blood flows

Influence of Numerals
ON Hoh@mz0ll@rm Family

though he never attained kingship
himself, he assured it to his heir. Soon
after the death of the great elector,
Prussia was elevated into a kingdom of
the holy Roman empire.
In 1740 there came to the throne OF
Prussia, then kingdom, a king who
was destined to lift his country from
that of a second class nation to a
place among the great powers of Eu-
rope-a position that, save for a brief
eclipse during the rule of Napoleon I,
she has ever since maintained in the
concert of Europe. He was Frederick
the Great, man remarkable both as
a warrior and statesman. Not only
did he successfully war against the COM
bined powers of Europe, but after win
ming an honorable peace, with a gem
erous slice of territory thrown in, he
devoted himself to reforming the laws
of Prussia, establishing industries and
bringing prosperity throughout the
land Today he is looked upon as the
greatest of Prussians and of Hohen-
zollerns, and around him more than
any other ruler have conferred the devo-
tion and admiration of the Prussian
people. The magic number 40 did good
work for that kingdom when 1t
| brought him to the throne in 1740.
Thus. for 500 years, did the 40 year
| in each century mark some important
step of advancement in the fortunes OF
