California Has Jap Village.

Few people realize that in the United
States there is a village composed en-
tirely Of japanese, who live their lives
just as they did before leaving the
FloWery kingdom. This quaint spot of
interest is north of the long pier, a
mile from Santa Monica, Cal. Here is
the home of a number of japanese
fishermen. Their native dress, food
and the daily routine of their lives
are carried out as though the little vii
lage were on the far shore of Nippon.
On Sundays are to be zen the native
sports of the Japanese. The geisha
girls serve tea and bonbons to visitors,
while the young men display their
prowess at wrestling, jiu-jitsu and
other Oriental pastimes.-Los Angeles

When John Adams became president,
in 1897, he was ever more severely at
tackled In the press than Washington

four years. the people rallied to the
support of the papers and defeated

for the especial interest being taken by
the American Red Cross in Frances
trlghtful struggle against consumption.

more men than do bullets and poison
