Attitude of These People in Public
One of Modesty and Humble
Apology.

On entering a meeting late (church,
address or public gathering) jap
anese invariably pauses at the door to
bow in the direction of the platform
q combination of innate politeness and
humble apology for the discourtesy of
his tardy presence.
The Japanese shows a marked pref
erence for a seat at the rear of the
room and a position on the nearer end
of a seat, his modesty occasioning
those who follow him increasing incon-
venience-'For when thou art hidden
TO a feast, sit not down in the chief
seat; lest haply more honorable
man than thou be hidden But go and
sit down in the lowest place. For

He fumbled in his blouse; took out
the letter in it's formidable envelope
held it toward her.
She took it and, glancing over it,
handed it back. He tore it open and
drew out its contents.
W1de-eyed, they read It through
title deed in fee simple to the War
hope homestead, together with ali
stock and betterments and growing
crops thereon, duly conveyed and exc
cuted to Jack Warhope; and, folded
inside the deed, bank draft in his
favor for ten thousand dollars.
The man stared at the girl; the girl
stared at the man.
'I'm b'lievin' Pap Simon meant t.
do this all along" he unused at last.

He let loose the deed, leaving it in
her hand. She turned back from the
silver-rimmed bottoms and glanced it
over again.
"W'y, it was made out only last Fri
day-he never knowed it, but that was
lady-slipper day-and so he made 1t a
big day-after all"
Very slowly, with the tightness still
at his throat, the woodsman took out
his pocketbook and laid f1attened vel
low orchid in the girls palm.
81 found it there at the edge of Mud
haul, where you got on the house-boat."
The girl fumbled the f1attened BIOS
som in her hand the color Of return
ing health tingled into her cheeks.

Of lawn and bottoms and winding
river spreading before her.
The woodsman himself sat on low
footstool at her side. The room had
settled still.
From the kitchen came the low
drone of voices where Mrs. Curry and
Aunt Liza sat by the cook stove. A
tall old clock in a corner of the parlor
taller than the woodsman himself,
with peasant man and maid on the
face raking -punctuated the 81
lence into a sort of drowsy rhythm.
The girl was so still that he thought
she slept. CHANGING around at her, he
was amazed to see her eyes full of
tears.
"W'y-what's the NATTER"
"Nothing-!"
Her lips quivered; she turned her
face away and cried silently. He
picked up her hand; attempted COM
forting word. The sprawled dead fig
ure in the old cabin crossed his mind
the brother in whom she still be-
lleyed; whose death she still incurred; ;
of whose degradation and deep dis
honor she was haply spared from ever
knoWing-and the attempt failed.
She turned back to him after time,
brushed away the tears and brave
suggestion of the smile that made her
eyes so wonderful frightened them.
Saint it jist terrible FIR me t. cry
like this, when y'u're all s. good to
mel"
He hitched the footstool closer to
the sofa. 1t surprised him to feel a
queer weakness in his breast and a
tightness in his throat when he tried
to speak.
DO y'u think y'u're strong enough
t. talk some?"
'W'y, could git up Almost"
A sudden thoughtfulness displaced
the smile.
DO y'u remember that letter y'u
give me from Pap Simons, las Sat
urd'y?"
The girl raised her eyes,
''T be opened the day you're TWEEN
ty-one-I've wondered and wondered
what was in it."
He looked down at the floor; looked
up again.
"This is the day."
"No!"
"I'm twenty-one t'day-and'-free,

'Six days." was his slow comment.

Water Buffalo SlotU, but
Useful Beast of Burden

Of ali the beasts Of burden the
world around none is slower than the
water buffalo. Perhaps to a degree
not quite realized he has set the speed
of the civilization in which he lives.
At all events he is in perfect tempo
with the leisurely pace of the tropics.
He plows the sticky rice lands, treads
the thrashing floors, hauls the creak-
ing two-wheeled carts, circles around
the grinding mills or the water pumps

play horns of a slightly differing shape
and size; in some places his hide may
show a trifle more hair than in others,
but essentially he is the same ponder

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and
bladder do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit and
1t should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this paper.-Advertiseme

Major Martin and his mechanic, Ser
geant Harvey, of the world circling
squadron of aviators, are safe and on
their way to the United States. Early
in the week word was received from
Martin that they were at Port Moller
ON the Alaska peninsula, having
reached that place after weeks wan
dering across the snow. Their plane
crashed against mountain in the fog
soon after they left Chignik and was
totally wrecked. The other three planes
have continued on the trip and Major
Martin, still nominally in command Of
the expedition, will rejoin them proba-
bly, in Europe for the completion of
the fight.
Lieutenant D'Oisy, the French avia-
tor who is flying around the world

Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of Rus
STA and Zinovieff, president of the
third International, should "get to-
gether." The former has declared re
peatedly that the Russian govern
ment is refraining from propaganda in
other countries, but the latter, in
statement of what the Communists
have accomplished in the past year,
makes these claims:
Russian money and propaganda and
leadership are entirely responsible for
the great Communist gains in Germany,
where the Communist vote was in
creased sevenfold at the recent cleo
ton. He says this is Moscow's big
gest victory in years.
The soviets paved the way for la
Dor government in England. prime
Minister Macdonald is a pure oppor-
tunist," adds NJ Zinovieff, but labor
maintains its step towards communism
in England.
The Communist party claims vast
gains in India and China, and is now
one of the big parties in Japan,
thanks to the soviet government"
The naval oil commission named by
the President has condemned the prac-
tice of exchanging oil for tank con-
struction, as provided in the leases
which Secretaries DENLY and Fail
made to Doheny and Sinclair The
commission says: "The oil that now
remains under governmental control,
or that can be brought under such con-
troll, must be treasured not for its mar
ket value, especially in these days of
low prices, but for its emergency value
at some future date.
considerable funds will be needed
to provide adequate tankage, consid-
cradle more to purchase oil to I'LL
those tanks, and still more funds to
test and develop possible additional
reserves. Without mopAy the existing
reserves can neither be adequately
protected nor fully utilized.
whatever may be the outcome of
litigation now pending, in the prosecu-
ton of which government agencies are
cooperating, the commission bases its
immediate recommendations for adj
miniStrative action upon the broad
principle of preserving for the navy as
much as possible of the navy's oil re-
serve until the navy's need is most
urgent"
