That Takes the Little Worries From
the Minds of Busy Women
Writing an advertisement the

business, 1--WE sell women what
they want"
Our corset expert took prompt
exception.
"We try to do more than that"
she explained; 1--WE try to sell
them what they should have.
"MOst women are too busy with
other things to give serious atten-
ton to what they should wear.
"Frequenly they have only a
vague idea of what they want.
cts our business to know.
tits our business to take the co
rset worries from the women's
mind.
cts our bushes to see that
woman gets the right corset in
style and kind; and above all,
properly fit.
Really we pride ourselves on
service as much as we do on our
cOrsets.
"The best corset in the world is
spoiled if it gets on the wrong
woman.
That's what l mean when we
say we do not always sell a woman
what she wants."
Our new enlarged Corset shop
is located on the second floor right
off the elevator, to the right. Mod

STORY TELLERS OF JAPAN
Profession Is an Old One. and Its
Members Are Looked UP To BY
All Glasses OF the People.

Quantity recalling the day Of the
wandering minstrel In other lands, the
professional story teller OF Japan &C.
cupies a unique niche In the life of
his country, and he has character
and an art all his own. II is curl
GUS fact that one of the most accom-
plished story tellers in Tokyo is an
Englishman who has lived In Japan
all his life and speaks the language
like native. What are called the
yose halls of Japan are probably rel
les of the oldest known form of pub
lie entertainment. Perhaps the stroll
ing minstrel who recited or chanted
tales of the heroes was older. for in
Japan he developed into the yose halls
with their hanaskika. From remot-
est times great people In Japan had
their clowns and story tellers, just as
did Europeans and In time the cities
had their regular places where AN au-
dience might 20 to hear some national
epic, II ballad or II comic story told.
In rural Japan there are today still
strOlling story tellers who chant their
tales to II roadside audience. These
stories We're OF great variety but they
may be divided into rakugO, or humor-
GUS stories. and kOdan. or heroic tales.
The manner In which these are relat-
ed differs widely also; some story
tellers speak In loud and solemn
voices, while others behave much like
clowns, acting out the details of what
they are telling. Those which resem-
Bile ballads are chanted to the accom-
paniment OF the samisen. "A primitive
instrument These song stories are
not all very old; some are based upon
modern events Of interest. Often the
entertainment is relieved by the per
formance of group of marionettes
or by a juggling feat or two.

STREET CAR CAUSE OF DUST
Scientific investigation Has Proved
This Fact Seemingly Beyond
All Possibility Of Dispute.

Where does the dust come from7
This question. which careful house
keepers ask themselves every day. has
been scientifically answered by inves-
tigators of Harvard university.
They made measurements OF the
amount Of dust in the air at 20 feet
above the street in different places.
At the junction OF streets. where
the least dust was accumulated. the
amount In the air would equal a daily
deposit OF 9Is pounds to the acre. In
another section as much as so pounds
per acre would be the daily deposit.
II was found that the air in paved
streets was, on the whole. somewhat
dustier than that OF unpaved streets.
but the bad unpaved street was worse
than the worst OF the paved streets,
so far as the amount of dust in the
air was considered, by % per cent.
The effect of street car traffic was
also considered by these Investigators.
II was estimated that streets with car
lines have one-third more dust than
streets without them. and the best of
such streets are generally worse than
the worst OF the free streets. The ex-
tra amount of dust In the air OF
streets having street car lines consist
ed largely OF fine particles Of iron;
the amount OF sandlike dust. or silica.
being about the same In both types OF
streets.

Quaint Raincoat.

When rain falls in tropical countries
there is no mistake about II. The rain
comes as II II meant TO sweep away
all such trifles as trees and bushes.
A man who goes out In this deluge
must protect himself, but he finds that
a macintosh OF the llghtest kind has
its disadvantages, for II It keeps the
rain out, II also keeps the heat in.
The raincoat devised by the Mexi-
cans Is called chino" and is so por-
Gus that the heat Of the body readily
escapes, while owing to its construc-
ton II keeps the wearer dry. The
chino is made Of numberless long. mar
row strips of dried palm-leaf. one end
Of each strip being woven into light
fabric and the rest falling loose. The
wearer Of this garment rustles as he
walks, and the rain pattering upon It
makes a pleasant sound. Arrived at
the house, he takes on his palln-leaf
hat. shakes it. and hangs II up to dry.
Then he slips on his chino, shakes
that also, and hangs It up. He him
self is untouched by the rain. but the
chino. as It hangs up. looks like II
huge, damp, brown cassock. Surely
this rainco"t is the quaintest in the
world

Sound" Criticism.

The editor OF the Merrytown Mail
received complimentary copy Of a
musical composition from friend who
desired favorable criticism Of his
work. This is what appeared In the
next issue:
As the editor Of this journal doesn't
know a dernl-semlquaver from dfA-
pasOn or bass clef from high G,
he Will not therefore be expected to
give an extended notice Of this pro-
duction. We can say. however. that
the type used In printing the compost
ton is clear and plain. and that the
paper appears to be Of the best quality
Of rug. The design on the front page
Is most artistic and the words are as
tender as real spring chicken and as
poetic AS the song of the meadow lark
on ii May morning. The melody is
sound and all right. The harmony
too, appears to be strictly o. X. with
no patent defects or noticeable blern-
ishes. The tonality is clear and re-
sOnant, and rests on harmonic rela-
lions and melodic elements. This is
about all the praise in connection with
said composition we are able to evolve
from our cabbage-fiavored tempera-
nent."

GAINED FAME AS PUGIuST
John Broushton, English Fighter, Only
Man Credited With Having Won
Two Priced Distinctions.

John Broughton, alone among Eng
Iish professional pugilists, can claim
the double distinction Of an Abbey fu-
neral and having had dedicated to him
a poem by the poet laureate. 1t was
in 1744 that Paul Whitehead published
his "Gymnasia," or Boxing Match"
which he inscribed, ITO the most puts
SAINT and lnvincible Mr.. John Brough-
ton" As early as 1870 Broughton had
achieved athletic distinction as the
winner OF Doggett's Coat and Badge.
The science of boxing owes much to
BrOughton. "He promulgated code
for the guidance of the combatants and
the satisfaction of the judges" writes
Mr.. Guy Nlckalls. His new rules were
agreed upon by pugilists and approved
of by the gentlemen on August 49, 1743,
and lasted in perfect Integrity until
1888, period Of nearly 100 years. He
introduced science and humanity into
what was up till then a barbarous
sport. by not only inventing defensive
guards but also preventing, a man
being hit when he was down. He also
introduced gloves or muffiers for con
Quoting mock combats or sparring
matches" BrOughton's patron was
the duke of Cumberland, who made him
Il yeoman Of the guard.

The question of who is Colorado's
champion poker player is settled. SEN
ator Billy Adams is it. Some months
ago he announced his retirement from
politics but as nomination day rolled
around the itch got to working again,
60 he bluffed his hand-picked conven-
ton with an offer to contribute 81 900
to the democratic campaign fund if
they would let him retire. OF course
they refused, and Billy will again be
in the state senate against his will.
Too bad to draft a poor old fellow
like that.

The Difference

When President Roosevelt few
years ago negotiated treaty by
which this country was to pay Den
mark five millions for the three Dan
ish islands in the caribbean sea all
the democratic papers and orators
were denouncing it as a graft. Now
that Mr.. Wilson has offered Denmark
twenty-five million dollars for the
same islands they call it statesman
ship. The figures just about repre-
sent the difference between the execu-
tive ability Of the two parties.

Food Sources Untouched.

Anyone who has travelled through
the tropics. studying the production OF
foodstuffs there at first hand, cannot
fail to understand that vast potential
food sources still lie untouched. The
wonderful discoveries of Ross and
Reed and their coadJutors. of the
methods OF preventing malaria and
yellow fever followed by the mastery
OF the secrets OF the bubonic plague
and beriberl and the application of
these lessons in Cuba. at Panama and
elsewhere In the tropical world, have
made IT possible for civilized man to
open up gardens OF plenty OF which he
never before dreamed.
Untold millions OF acres of densest
tungles are. so far as man is con-
oerned, nothing more than lands of in
finite richness wasting their sweet
ness upon the desert air OF unutilized
opportunities.

he would have sent men of well known

No Arbitration

Mr.. Wilson is going to avoid any
arbitration with Carranza. The latter
refused to arbitrate any question but
the immediate withdrawal of Ameri-
can troops in Mexico, so Mr.. Wilson
will withdraw the troops and leave
nothing to arbitrate. They only went
in to get Villa and they came just as
near doing it as the marines at Vera
Cruz came to making Huerta salute
the flag, so why shouldn't they be
withdrawn. The marines were.
