Despite q general impression here

statement has been made here that
there have been no exchanges OF rec

Recent japanese dispatches to Hon

Of officials on President Wilson's train
and also here in Washington to COM
ment upon them was construed as

It was stated that preceding Foreign
Minister Uchida's statement the Japa-
nese government was convinced that
the final approval Of the treaty by
the American Senate might be mate
rally aided by a declaration Of Japa-
nese policy concerning Shantung.
It was said Baron Uchida went as
far a. he Thought possible at the time
in indicating Just when japan was
prepared to leave the peninsula.
Because the peace treaty lacks rati.

principal powers and provides that
Germany may have three months

FLOWERS HOURS OF SLEEP
That They Differ Is Proof ot the AdaptabIity of Everything
 in Nature.

That flowers sleep Is evident to the most casual observer The beautiful daisy opens at sunrise and closes at sunset, whence it's name days eye. The morning glory opens its flower with the day. The -four o'clock awakes at four o'clock in the morning, but closes its eyes in the middle of the day, and the dandelion is in full bloom only while there is strong light. The habit of some flowers is certainly curi- ous. and furnishes one of the many instances which prove the singular adaptablity of everything in nature. The reason is found in the method by which this class of flowers is fertilized.
 Flowers which are fertilized by night flying insects derive no advan' tage from being open by day; and, on the other hand, those which are fer tilized by bees would gain nothing by being open at night. Nay, it would be a disadvantage, because it would ren- der them liable to be robbed of their honey and pollen by insects which are incapable of fertilizing them. It is possible, then, that the closing of flow CTS may have reference to the habit or insects, and it may be observed, also, in support of this, that wind-fertilized flowers never sleep.

.fRound Hobin.~

A "round robin" consists of paper containing petition, protest, com plaint, or congratulations around which the names of the signers are written in circle so as to avoid giving prom thence to any single name, and so that no name heads the list. The term has been found in Coverdale's preface to his translation of Calvin's Tract on the Lords Supper" dated 1546, but it is there used by "scurrilous Prot estants" as a term of reproach for the ciborium or pyx. Brewer claimed the term to be corruption of the French "rOnd' (round) "ruban" (ribbon). Ap- piled to persons, the term designated "a religious or political brawler." It was used in this sense by Racket in his Life of Archbishop Williams" Q692) 'These Wat Tylers and Round Robins being driven or persuaded out of Whitehall" The modern round robin is said to have originated with sailors who used the method in trying to secure redress of their grievances. and record of this is to be found in "The Gentlemans Magazine" q. 23S) dated 1731.

NECESSARY TO KEEP BOOKS
Witheut Accurate Accounts Nc Form of Business Can Be Successfully
 Carried On.

Accountanry which is the science tory that runs back at least 4.OHO years. Very early in the development of nations it Wus found that in conn merce as we'll aS in the affairs of state, systematic aud careful account-kecp- Ing were indispensable. These syS' tens were. at first crude and lhh"ri- ous. but they at least kept the finances of the nation and the marts of trade from being chaotic.
 The invention of double entry book keeping early in the fifteenth century by the merchants and bankers of Ven ice gave to the commerce of Europe an invaluable trade instrument, and one without which the great commercial enterprises of the later centuries could hardly have existed.
 And so 1t has been on down to the present time; there has been parallel progress between the accomplishments of commerce and the science of ac- counting and 1t is known to every man in business that the former could not continue without the latter. Even the most unbusinesslike people know this much, and we can hardly imagine any one silly enough to attempt to carry on any kind of a business enterprise without keeping books.
 Bookkeeping, as formal subject or study. Is taught in most of the public and private schools of this country, but it is only that form of bookkeeping that applies to the affairs of the mer- chant or the shOpkeeper. The public has yet to learn that bookkeeping is quite as necessary to the prosperity or the wageworker, the salaried man, the farmer and the housekeeper as it is to the shopkeeper. the merchant or the facturer.-Exchange.

The Dog.
(From American Field

(tTOm American Flelu.)
I've never known dog to wag
- His tail in glee he didn't feel,
Nor quit his old-time friend to tag
At some more influential heel.
The yellowest cur L ever knew
Was, to the boy who loved him, true
I've never known a dog to show
Halfway devotion to his friend,
To seek a kinder man to know
Or richer, but unto the end
The humb1est dog 7 ever knew
Was, to the man that loved him, true,
I've never known dog to fake
Affection for present gain,
A false display Of love to make,
Some little favor to attain.
I've never known Prince or Spot
That seemed to be what he was not.
But I have known a dog to fight
With all his strength to shield a
friend,
And, whether wrong or whether right,
To stick with him until the end.
And I have known a dog to lick
The hand of him that men would
kick.
And I have known a dog to bear
Starvation pangs from day to day
With him who had been glad to snare
His bread and meat along the way
No dog. however mean or rude,
Is guilty Of ingratitude.
The dog is listed with the dumb,
No voice has he to speak his creed,
His messages to humans come
BY faithful conduct and by deed,
He shows, as seldom mortals do,
a high ideal of being true.

There is bitter hatred between Baron

not been for the Intervention OF
Ambassador Whitlock and Mr.. Glib
SON firing squad might have en-
tertained DeLeval on the morning OF

claimed. There is an enemy sub

MARQUIS Villalobar and Mr.. Gibson
Immediately recognized that Laucker
was attempting to create diversion
and requested De Leval to with
draw. The latter refused saying
II shall live to prosecute you al
your trial" Laucken asked Gibson
to dismiss De Legal from the SER
vice of the American Legation
Gibson refused.
A few days later Laucken came
raging to the American Legation

turned to the legation and demanded
that De Leval be given up. MIR.
Whitlock refused De Leval Wont

Leval was, I'VE shall meet again"
De Leval retorted, II am sure the
pleasure will be all mine"
And now they may meet at the Old
Bailey.
