LOSING Their Loved Ones.

The strangest wedding l can remem-
Der was just like a funeral. Every
body was crying. The bride was an
only child the bridegroom an only SON.
Both mothers were widows. Each
wanted the young couple to live with
her, SO they finally consented to live
six months each year with each one.
All you could hear between sobs, first
one mother, then the other would say !:
"Oh, my, what a great loss how can
l live without her! !" until no one pres
ent had the heart to congratulate the
young couple, and were more than
glad when it was time to go home

AUTUMN WILL COME LATER
New York Judge Hands Down Decl.
sion That Man of Eighty-seven 10
Net Too Old to Marry.

Men everywhere should take heart
at the important decision of the SUI
preme court of New York to the effect
that man of etghty-seven is fit and
proper subject for matrimony, OBJ
serves the Seattle Post-Int elllgencer.
An old boy of that age recently mar
ried a young woman of eighteen, and
subsequently the thought occurred to
him that he was too old to marry; so
he took the doubt to the court, and
asked for decree Of divorce on that
ground, and the judge wouldn't believe
him. "Out upon such pessimisM !" de-
clared the court, in substance and
forthwith declared and asSeVerated
that he could not be released from his
marriage bonds on such an ephemeral
plea; hence we have the declaration
or the court that a man of eighty
seven Is not inherently, by reason Of
his years, to old to wed; and what
the court says goes in this country.
Thus there is a new rainbow of hope
IN the sky for old gentlemen who
might otherwise despair of a happy
home. There are many, no doubt, who
will seize their canes and hobble forth,
inspired by the court with a new am
bit1on to be up and doing, breadwin-
ners for happy homes, and a part Of
the great, busy world around them, in
stead of tireside refuses sitting by the
cooling emberS Of the past.

A mans dependability can be meas
ured by the way he takes accldentals.
The great mass of men can go along
serenely when everything goes ac-
cording to custom. But the appearance
of the accidental throws them out of
balance. The same thing is true of
life. So many fellows lose their
he+ids when they need them most
Tt 0uble in any quarter seems to flash
thu red flag before them. The I'M
usual unnerves them. Turmoil in the
camp becomes contagious and they bolt
when they should be the most steady.
1t takes trials to test the man. Any
one who goes wild with the appear
ance of the accidental can never be
trusted to meet life's real problems.

How Do You Meet Emernerex2

Your treatment Of life's accidents IS
test Of your ingenuity. Things that
can be done by rule can be relegated
to the clerk. Things that demand the
exceptional must be handled by the
man who is master of affairs. When
the accidental comes there Is no
time for preparing to meet it. It's an
emergency that demands immediate
action. If the note is not taken truly
1t brings discord. When life's notes
out Of the usual scale are not prompt
ly and properly met they bring dissat-
isfaction and calamity. It's the mark
of the master to be able to make the
usual contribution to the whole of
life. And best of all the man with
the right spirit enjoys the challenge
the accidental gives in life, 1t not
only affords change but 1t suggests
stages of development by which he
can estimate growth.

Lawyer Too Eloquent.

His client was being sued for di-
vorce by her husband and the attor-
ney was trying to get her as much all
mony as possible. Right in the mid
die of the flow of elOquence the attor-
ney was interrupted by the husband,
who said to the court:
Your honor, l have suddenly deCid-
ed to withdraw my suit, and If my
wife is willing, l would like to have
her come back to me-"
Pressed for explanation he said
"Mr. Blackstone has presented her in
such an attractive light that I've
fallen in love with her all over again"

COULD NOT HOLD kRMADALO
Writer Admits Understanding the
Strength of Little Animal He
Was Trying to Capture.

When he was small boy, W. 81.
Hudson, the author of Far Away and
Long Ago." came to grief while he
was attempting single-handed to cap
ture an armadillo. One day, he says,
was standing on the mound at the
side of moat, some 40 yards from
where men were at work, when an
armadillo bOlted from his earth and
running to the very spot where | was
standing, began vigorously digging to
bury himself in the soil.
Neither men nor dogs had seen him.
and l at once determined to capture
him unaided by anyone. l imagined
that 1t would prove to be a very easy
task. Accordingly, laid hold of his
black, bOne-cased tail with both hands
and began tugging to get him off the
ground, but could not move him. He
went on digging furiOusly, and getting
deeper and deeper into the earth, and
l soon found that instead of my pull
ing him out he was pulling me in after
him. 1t hurt my pride to think that
an animal no larger than a cat was
beating me In trial of strength, and
l held on more tenaciously than ever
and tugged and strained more violent
~, until-not to lose him-I had to 60
down fiat on the ground.
But 1t was all for nothing. First my
hands and then my aching arms were
carried down into the EARTH and 1 was
forced to release my hold and get up
to rid myself of the mold that he had
been throwing up into my face and all
over my head, neck and SHOULDERS

Doinu.

When you have thing to do, you
will do it right in proportion to your
love of right. But do the right, and
you will love the right; for by doing
it you will see it in a measure as it is,
and no one can see the truth as 1t is
without loving 1t. The more you talk
about what is right, or even about the
doing of it, the more you are in danger
of exemplifying how loosely theory
may be allied to practice. Talk with
out action saps the very will. Some
thing you have to do is waiting un-
done all the time, and getting more
and more undQne. The only refuge is

EPIGRAM is NOT GREELEY'S
Great Editor Long Wrongly Credited
With Advice, go West, Young
Man, Go West"

The famous epigram GO West,
young man, go West" so commonly
attributed to the pen of Horace Gree
ley, was not written first by that ven
cradle editor of the New York Tri-
bune, but by John L. B. Soule, editor
Of the Terre Haute Express. In 1851
Richard Thompson, afterWard secre-
tary of the navy, urged Soule to go
west and grow up with the country,
and praised the editors talents as q
writer. He wagered barrel of -four
that Soule could write an article that
ley.
The result of the suggestion was
q column editorial about the Vests
opportunities for young men. 1t de.
clared that Horace Greeley could new
er have given a young man better ad-
vice than contained in the words, go
West, young man." Although stated
merely as SOule thought Greeley
might have put it, newspapers all
over the country began to credit Gree
ley with the epigram. So widespread
did the quotation become that Gree
ley's paper reprinted the editorial
from the Express, with the following
footnOte:
1.-THE expression of this sentiment
has been attributed to the editor of
the Tribune enormously. But so fully
does he concur in the advice it gives
that he indOrses most heartily the
epigrammatic advice of the Terre
Haute Express, and joins in saying

JEWISH LIFE IN JAPAN-JAPAN-
EsE WOMEN EMBRACE JUDAISM
l.y DIR. A. BREGMAN.
{r.S.,--

Jewish life in Japan is hemmed in
by many of the difficulties that sur
rounded Jewish life elsewhere and suf-
fars from the many party divisions
with which We are familiar. National
sits, AssimilatiOnists. zsionists and So-
cialists To the westerner this may
sound like fairy tale, but it is never
theless true.
There is u legend that the japanese
are the direct descendants OF one Of
the Ten Tribes. Thts legend is based
ON the fact that the, Japanese alphabet
contains some Hebrew characters. that
some OF their words have the Hebraic
sound and that the people themselves
lave Jewish traits and characteristics
However that may he, we are not
dealing with these supposed Jews. but
with real Jews-thOse who have set
tied in the country. There arc any
number Of Jewish settlements turnout
the length and breadth of the Mlka-
dos domain.
The great war drove many Jews
from their moOrings. Many Russian
Jews tried to get TO America via 81
IBERIA and Japan.
Not many of these emIgrai%s sue
ceded in reaching their goal. Many
were handicapped thru lack OF finds.
many others thru the inability Of conf
municating with relatives in America.
Thus a large number remained in
yokohama, and because Jewish set
tlement was formed there other .Iew''
came to seek their fortunes also
Mr.. Samuel Mason, the representa-
