FooIIna the Enemy.

Long Ben, a stage driver In the
southwest with soft voice and q gen.
tie disposition, but with several notch
es on the handle Of his revolver, L. not
given to seeking trouble.
Not very long ago he brought In q
200 pound salesman and, the roads
being unusually rough, landed both him
and his trunk In rather bad repair.
The more the travelling man thought
Of it the madden he got and that night,
when he discovered how his trunk had
been wrecked, his wrath boiled over.
and he announced that In the morning
he would beat that stage driver into
unconscious ugliness. He got up early
and paced the Office of the hotel, await
ing the arrival Of Long Ben.
One Of the stage drivers friends slip
ped over to the Office Of the livery sta
BILE, where the latter slept, and tipped
him of.
"Say, Ben, that fire eating pickle
salesman you brought In last night is
over there laying for you and Is going
to knock your alleged head OF as soon
as you 60 to breakfast"
Rubbing his cheek speculatively, he
said In his peculiarly mild drawl: "I'll
just fool that guy. I won't 60 to
breakfastr'-Saturday Evening Post.

School Strikes In Japan.

School strikes seem peculiar to ia
pan. and invariably one is under way.
Such strike Is a calamity dreaded
by head master and undermaster alike.
A head master who has had q strike
in his school is under suspicion. even
though he may be quite innocent Of
any unjust conduct, and eventually be
must seek a new field for his activities.
80 unpleasant do the students make
bis continued stay. When students
combine against one Of the undermas
tiers he has nothing to do but tender
his resignation. II the strike Is tenn
porarily Gained down 1t is tacitly IN
derstood that the master In question
is on the lookout for new place.
Sometimes strikes take place for the
retention Of the teacher rather than
for his dismissal In this latter case
It Is always the head master who
suffers the most. as the move is direct.
ed against him for not retaining some
favorite.

Japansss Homss.

Zone last thing l should like to men
tion," said the Japanese editor, land
that Is our so called pride. I can re-
ceive you here at this club as man to
man, and we can talk freely. But the
ordinary Japanese home Is not fitted
for intercourse with foreigners. Our
kitchens cannot prepare foreign food.
Our mattings are marred by the use of
tables and chairs. Our wives are not
accustomed to meeting strangers and
do not speak foreign languages. Wis.
itors are compelled to take OF their
shoes; and, If they have holes in their
socks, that Is embarrassing for them.
Under such conditions intercourse has
been in the past rather difficult. We
do not like to accept hospitality with
out being able to reciprocate. Reel
procity is national trait of the Japa-
nese. We respond very quickly to
friendship or suspicion" = Maynard

Futjllty Of Aroumsnts.

As no men are created equal, all ar
guments, IL INDUCED In, must be car
ried on either with superior persons or
inferior persons. Viewed In this way,
the utter futility of all arguments be-
comes apparent at once.
First. 1t Is futile, Of course, to carry
on an argument with a superior per;
son, because. being superior, he will
have such complete contempt for your
opinions that he either will not listen
to you at all or else he will listen with
a patronizing smile and Immediately
dismiss from his mind what you have
to say as not worth consideration.
It Is easily futile to argue with an
inferior person, for II you have any
thing to argue about worth the time
Of a man of your standing and mental
capacity, then 1t Is absurd to waste
talk upon an inferior being who will
not be able to appreciate It. Thus are
disputatiOus people isolated from the
world. and there Is no help for it

Heavy Money.

How to keep your money safe from
thieves ia a problem that was solved
by the inhabitants Of Jap, In the Caro-
line islands. when they devised cur
rency too heavy for burglars to carry
away. The money used by the natives
Is in the form of huge wheels of stone
weighing as much as 500 pounds and
roughly shaped In the form Of grind
stone. A large hole In the center is a
feature Of the Jap money. Even the
clam shell pennies are perforated. The
stones are used for large purchases
only. II an islander becomes wealthy
enough to purchase pig he must part
with 500 pound circular stone. but II
he Is required to deliver 1t for any dis.
lance the pork IL well earned.-Ameri-

Rraaklnu on tha WhseI.

In medieval days s'breaking on the
wheel" q most barbarous mode Of In.
nicting capital punishment was often
used In France and Germany. It con-
sisted Of stretching the victim upon a
wheel or upon a wooden frame in the
shape Of St Andrews cross and then
breaking his limbs BY blows from iron
bars. The sufferer was then left to
die slowly from fear. thirst and ex-
haustion.
