FUNNY Man of Japan,

The "Tads,'' Bud Fishers, and Gold
bergs are not all confined to the realm
Of American journalism. for Japan,
too. says a writer in Cartoons Maya
zine, has her comedy sketch artists.
The endeavors of these men, he says,
show a striking similarity to much
of the work done by our popular coz
temporaries. Clean, wholesome fun,
quite Of the order that one finds in
such series as the 'KatZenjamme Kids
and The Adventures of Willie West
inghouse Edison Smith, predomi-
mates in the Japanese pictures. There
is only slight evidence of that ele-
ment which to the American mind
makes a large proportion Of European
work risque and vulgar. The humor
is childlike, possibly even more so
than our own, but it has the crowning
virtue of having cleanliness without
being sterile or insipid.
The Japanese have not created a
new style of comic cartoon. On the
contrary, they have remained thor
oughly true to their proclivity for
initiating the ideas of others. They
have copied the American strip close
ly. and since we are prone to know
them for this trait more than almost
any other, few persons will wonder
at the fact

two men exchanged the curtest and
most perfunctory greeting.
By seven o'clock he stood again in
the Omneys' library, and Sylvia Omney
stood on the threshold waiting. She
was simply dressed in a dark, clinging
material which set off more perfectly

She must have felt that he was

without answer.

BE MODERATE IN ALL THINGS
II Is Good TO Think, Act and Talk on
Ali Occasions Carefully and
Sanely.

The best Of things, the best qualities
of character, may be turned to evil by
excess, remarks a writer IN the Mil
waukee Journal. The deepest sorrow
is not expressed by the loudest vail
ing, nor the fullest joy found i'll inn
moderate laughter Lack of modera-
ton in eating and drinking carries its
own punishment Let your desires be
moderate and your disappointments
viii be few.
Be moderate in your praise of an
other even if you think him a hero.
Perfection is not of this world Should
you too loudly sing his praises, others
will be the more ready to pick flaws
in him. If he is found to exceed your
commendation rather than fall below
it the effect is better. Ones partiality
leads to magnifying the good and over
locking the evil, even to making plaus-
ible excuses. Still more desirable is
it that you should beware of excess in
condemnation. You may have con-
ceived a false impression of him. You
may not know all the eXtenuating cir
cumst8nces, BY vOicing your dislike
or disapprobation, you may be doing
an injustice.
At the best, you are not helping to
right the wrong. Let the world know
by your conversation and conduct that
you believe in truth, justice and kind
ness, but be careful how you put 9th
ers under a ban as failing in these
things. Excess in love is likely to
carry jealousy, suspicion and selfish
ness in it's train. Even religion may
be carried to an excess that makes one
intolerant and fanatical. Such excess
makes the cause upheld unlovely to
many. Learn moderation and you will
make fewer mistakes.
Think your own thoughts and ex-
press them, but do not endeavor to
force them on others by too strenuous
insistence.

The Oldest Treaty.

When he was entertained by the
governor of Madeira on his way to
South Africa the late Mr.. chamberlain
made the interesting statement that
the oldest treaty in the English ar
chives was the first offensive and de-
fensive alliance between Great Britain
and Portugal This may have been
quite true, if an earlier one entered
into with the Flemings in 1874 had
gone astray or was for COTaTHe Her cia1
purposes only, for that was the first
English treaty with foreign country.
The Portuguese treaty was signed at
Windsor on May 9, 1886, largely as a
result Of the assistance which John
of Gaunt gave to John Of Portugal III
repelling the CaSttlians. Five thou
sand English troops were sent, and
the allies gained a notable victory at
Aljubarrota. The alliance was ce-
mented in 1887 by the marriage Of
King John to the daughter of John Of
Gaunt.

No Full Moon for Columbus.

Anybody who says there was a full
moon the night before Columbus dis
covered America isn't automatically or
historically accurate. And anybody
who prints picture of the scene with
a full moon in it is open to the criti-
cism of folk who are tinicky about
details
So it is that one of the pictures in
the Ferris exhibition of historical
American paintings at Philadelphia
finds itself being talked about. The
painting represents Columbus cara
vel the night before the big find. There
is full moon just above the horizon,
while the reflection of the setting sun
is seen on the ships sails.
A critic opened a controversy, and
DR.. Eric Doolittle, professor Of astFon-
omy at the University of Philadelphia
