Cannon For Devil.

Mounted on the gables Of a~fine. big
residence up on the blufr. the famous
residential section OF Yokohama's for
eicn settlement there are three brass
cannon, each about foot and a half
long.
They are all loaded pretty nearly to
the muZzle. and all aimed directly at
the peak of the gable on the residence
of +. w. Horne. head OF the F. W.
Horne Company. one of the leading
foreign establishments in Japan. II at
any time these guns should be touched
off there would be a result that would
give Mr.. Horne a big claim for DAM
ages against somebody.
These cannon furnish conclusive evil
dence that there still remains in Japan
profound belief in the existence cf a
personal devil. They are mounted by
the terror of some OF his servants and
restore peace to very troubled neigh
borhood
1t cost about $40 to get the guns into
their present position, but IT was worth
it TO put an end to the clamor that was
disrupting social conditions on that part
OF the olufT and rendering life unbear-
able for the foreigners there.
Mr.. Horne built his house some time
ago to represent the Far East. It is
fashioned somewhat after the design
Of a Chinese temple. with the high
peaked gables and fantastic ornamental
ton.
When 1t was going up some of tho
he should protect the house and the
place by placing a number of good
devils in the ornamentation of the
gables and elsewhere about the house
all facing outward. would chase all
evil spirits away from the house and
even keep them out OF the grounds.
Liked the Idea.
The idea rather pleased Mr. Horne.
| and he entered into the spirit OF the
thing so enthusiastically that his house
is protected by a small legion OF devils
who grin at visitors from all sorts OF
| vantage points about the place.
And high up in the peak Of each
gable there is a huge. fantastic fellow
| whose face is constantly wreathed in
smiles at the thought of the ease with
| which he chases the evil spirits out
| of the Horne compound.
Everything went well with the con-
| struction of the house and no misfor-
tune has befallen its owner or those
house is one of the largest and most
ornate in Yokohama and Is one of the
show places of the settlement
| But while things were going 50 well
| with it's owner similar good fortune did
| not remain with his neighbors. Some
time after the good devils had been es-
| tablshed in their watch towers by Mr.
Horne one of the servants of a neighbol
sickened and died. That is not an un,
| usual event 1t happens in every land
at regular intervals. Most people would
ascribe it to the regular course of ma
ture. and let it go at that.
Workers Had Misgivings.
But the fellow-workers of the deaC
man were not so inclined They haC
seen the establishment OF the Horne
devils with many misgivings and hardly
suppressed mutterings of discomfort.
They had no doubt that the devill
would chase all evil spirits out % tn,
Horne compound 1t Was not tina
which disturbed them. Their trouble
was due to the fear that the spirits thu
eviCted from tho Horne prem SOS woul,
promptly invade their own compound
and bring disaster to them.

THE END OF THE TURK

Of one thing it is safe to feel rea-
sonably assured, and that is that this
war will mark the end of the Turk in
Europe. He has been retained there
by reason of the incapacity of Occi-
dental "civilization" for some CEN
turies to agree on the time and man.
ner of his expulsion. He has given
the lie to Europe's claim that it rep
resented the worlds enlightenment;
he has made the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries wonder whether
they were not the fifteenth and six
teenth.
But the Turk is to go; and that
alone will be an achievement worth
while. Whether Slav or Teuton
shall be the dominating power of the
present century, Europe will not
suffer very gravely; but Europe is
entitled to be civilized, in moderation
at least, throughout; and that it can
not be with the Turk still retaining
his foothold.
Without doubt the naval expedi-
tion of the allies against the Helles-
pont was i'll considered and not
properly backed by military force.
There was no proper coordination Of
the naval and the army efforts.
There was a pitiful miscalculation of
the power which German engineer
ing had built into the supposedly
anachronistic Notifications of the
ancient waterway.
But the allies have learned their
lesson. They are bringing armies
from both west and east to outflank
the fortresses, and the Galipoli pen
insula is right now the scene of a
series of maneuvers that will at last
result in the defeat of the Turk. He
cannot stand up to the final test OF
his real capacity against that OF
the new and the genuine civilized
power of the world. 1t is wonder.

the local priest. A delegation of The
frightened servants of Mr.. Horne's
neighbor undertook that mission at
once. The due ceremony was properly
performed and the regulation amount
spent for incense, cakes, and all the
other necessary accessories demanded
by the importance of the occasion.
After the full display of all the mys-
teries the priest decided-just as a cyni-
cal outsider might have concluded from
the first-thHt the best thing to 10
would be to remove the devils from
their position of advantage on the
Horne house
That, however. was a proposition TO
which Mr. Horne would not consent.
He was we'll protected by his devils.
There was no trouble In his household,
and no telling what trouble might ensue
from the removal Of the protectors. so
II was incumbent upon the priest TO
discover another way of settling the
matter.
Priest Not Averse.
The priest was not averse To that.
for II involved further ceremonies and
further contributions. The thing was
kept up for some time and the priest
enjoyed a good revenue from tho .x-
cited and greatly disturbed servants OF
the neighborhood
Finally It grew annoying to the owner
Of the house where the death OF serv-
ant had started the disturbance He
announced that there must be an end
to 1t and that something must be found
which could restore peace to his estab-
lishment. Thereupon the priest an
nounced. somewhat reluctantly. that II
q sufficient number of cannon were
mounted on the roof of the house. all
we'll loaded and trained squarely on the
offending devil on the Horne gable
that might serve the purpose.
So II was done. Day AMI night since
then these three highly polished brass
guns have been watChfully waiting for
another outbreak from the Horne
house. But there has been no outbreak
The Horne devils have kept within the
law and peace has reigned Incl
dentally, the neighbor's servants have
remained in good health, although still
somewhat nervous and apprehensive.
What will happen when next nature
! manifests her inscrutable power in the
removal of one OF those servants re
mains TO be seen. If any OF his fellows
should be moved to attempt the eXor-
' else of the Horne devils by force of
| arms there will be something doing ir
| that part Of the Bluff.

YOKOHAMA, April b.-If anybody
thinks the Japanese are not a patient
and determined people. let him consider
a little what is happening to the foreign
settlement in Yokohama. II has been
happening, slowly, for several years, but
II was only recently that the develop
ments we're such that 1t became appar-
ent what was really going on.
1t might be n very long story. and II
told In any detail It surely would be,
but am not going into the minutiae.
Kanagawa. the first station on the
road to Tokyo was the first open port In
Japan. the village that was the result
OF Perry's negotiations more than hair
a century ago The foreign settlement
at Yokohama followed. Here y is that
foreigners have perpetual leaseholds or
the superficies and are to a certain
extent beyond the reach of the Japanese
authorities.
Their contract provides that they shall
never be called upon to pay any other
tax than the ground rent called 1,,th ,or Pus. ny
sia put Japan to the test to find funds
to meet the abnormal expenses OF that
struggle she sought to lay house tax
on the property on these Yokohama
leases.
Foreigners Resisted.
Most Of the foreigners resisted. The
Americans did not fight the matter. and
our Government took no part in the SUD-
sequent proceedings. But the British and
other governments supported their ma
tionals, and the case went to The
Hague court. There It was tried at
| length. and the decision was against
| the japanese.
Perhaps what followed would here
| occurred anyway. but that decision
marked the beginning Of the passing OF
| the foreign settlement of Yokohama as
powerful factor in the foreign trade
| Of Japan.
1t IL not unnatural that the Japanese
should desire and determine to nave
| full control over all establishments In
| their country. They had struggled for
| many years to get rid OF their extra
| territorialty provisions of their early
| treaties They felt that The Hague de
| cision deprived them Of Jurisdiction
| which was naturally and rightfuly
| theirs. But they did not resist the de
| cision. They simply set to work to ge'
around it. And they are succeeding.
Gradual Removal.
The plan Is the gradual removal Of th'
business of Yokohama to territory tha
| is not subject to these perpetual leases
| WIN lnelT W ~
that end new harbor and port works ag

are already finished.
| A new railroad station Is we'll along
1t Is more than a mile farther out thar
the present station. farther awav from
the foreign settlement and the foreign
busincss houses.
| When tho works now under way ar
all completed the foreign business es
tabhshments will be so far remove
from the business center that 1t will b.
difficult and vexatious for them to con
tinue as they have been doing.

PUT STOMACH IN
FINE CONDITION
SAYS INDIGESTION RESULTS
FROM AN EXCESS OF HYD-
ROCHLORIC ACID.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says noted authority. He also tells
us that INDIGESTION is caused by hy-
per-acidity, meaning, there is an ex-
cess of hydrochloric acid in the stom-
ach which prevents complete diges-
ton and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in
a can, forming acid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then We feel a heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, We belch up gas,
we eructate sour food or have heart
burn, flatulence, water brash or nau-
sea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast and drink while
it Is efferveScing and furthermore, to
continue this for week. While re-
lief follows the first dose, il is i'm
portant to neutralize the acidity, re-
move the gas-maklng yaass. start the
liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus
promote a free flow Of pure digestive
juices.
Jad salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lthia and So
dunn phosphate This harmless salts
is used by thousands of people for
stomach trouble with excellent re-
suits

capital and the Chesapeake.
Conditions on the fleet today were
those Of real war. Grim, earnest and
determined, as If real battle, the
opening maneuvers Of the big game"
wrought the bluejackets to a high
pitch Of excitement, Rails and su-
perstructure of battleships cruisers
and torpedo boats have been hauled
down. The ships are stripped to bat
tie condition.
The present war game is Of pecu.
liar importance and interest among
naval officials. Lessons of the Euro
pean war are TO be tested. Subma-
rines, battle cruisers, scout ships and
mine layers are to take an important
and larger part in the maneuvers
Some Of the battleships have been
designated" as leviathan battle cruz
sers. Fuel and tender vessels have
been designated as submarine craft.
Stratagem of the war game was
lege. Several problems tested out in
the college this year are to be tried
out under actual fighting conditions.
Ability Of submarines, without other
support to successfully defend harbor
entrances similar to that Of Hampton
Roads will be tested.
Navy hydroplanes will also take
part in the war game as scouts.
Rough weather practice, with the air
craft is hoped for-to test their abil-
ity to return TO their stations in heavy
seas. Signal practice and torpedo
tube drills will also be given.
Upon the war game depends to a
great extent the policy of naval de.
fense to be adopted by the coming
congress. The success of the subma-
rines will be a factor in determining
how extensive the submarine building
program will be.
