"OLD GLORY"
'America For Americans
A Bridge Party In Japan.
It wasn't Ionic after we landed t e?of«
we saw the Japanese woman, the type
that old Japan creates. She and some
others were having a bridge party.
Sounds inviting. but it wasn't. About
twenty of tlk-ui were driving piles for
a new bridge. The sun was scorching,
the timbers enormous and the man
overseer was abusing tlicm. For
weren't they only women? Without
education n:i i r. ith old Japan's idea o.'
women crushing them down, they deem
ed themselves pretty fortunate to have
even such work and the princely sum
10 cents a day.
^.'o. it isn't enough f>>r old Japau that
the women should have a baby every
year. They must work, work like men
and animals. In Xifcko we could see
from a distance a long line of bowed
figures climbing the s.eep bank of the
river Daly a. and on coming nearer we
saw that they were old. old women,
wrinkled and gray, carrying barrels—
not baskets, but barrels of stone from
the river bed t<> the road Such is the
reverence for aze in Ju[>au.—Jean Prlc®
in World Outlook.
Alaska.
Alaska Is an ouuying possession.
Seward bouglit it of Russia In 1S07 for
57,200,000. lie and it became a na
tional Joke for that generation, and ex
cept for "Seward's icebox" it attracted
but little attention IIn\.ng more than
half a milll< n square miles in area, it
is more than te:i times larger than any
state »ast of the Mississippi and con
tains mountain systems, valleys and
mighty rivers. Switzerland could be
lost around the ' a e of Mount McKla
ley. It Is only since Klondike days
that Alaska has at all been taken seri
ously. and even-from that date the de
velopment has come slowly. But Alas
ka has only been scratched. Alaska is
the biggest i rize in the Pacific occan.
Its material possibilities arc illimitable,
and we are permitting it to stand ut
terly unprotected when with only a
little care on our part it could be made
impregnable.—Century.
New York'* Great Bridge*.
The five Riant spans of steel, which,
like gargantuan lingers, clutch the
two sides of East river, binding New
York and Brooklyn together, cost
America's metropolis half as much as
the Panama ounal cost the federal
government. Three of them, says the
National Geographic Magazine, are
suspended from cables the wires of
which. If placed end to end. would
more than twice girdle the earth If
placed side by side these five great
structures would provide a roadway as
wide as the Washington mouument is
high, and If placed end to end they
■would make a great bridge over six
miles long.
Across the Brooklyn bridge alone
125.000 surface cars travel every twen
ty-four hours, with other vehicular
traffic in proportion.
Just So.
*"Let your wife lead you," sayg a

her drive."—Kansas City Journal

W«nd*rful Ralnitr P«rk.
This is the heart bf the pUygrodad,
worshiped by the red men in the days
of* old, and here In the evidence of
scores of mineral springs bubbling
fronJ*he ground one feels more keenly
the puissance of God. To the left
from the road, looking as if it were
but a block away, rises Mount Ta
,coma, its sides showing the purplish
lines of ice, great snow tieldi and Jag
ged rocks. Yet it is five nHles from
the springs to Nlsqually glacier, over
a road tfs smooth «s pavement and
broken at almost every length of the
car by vistas of surpassing beauty.
Now it is a forest of sliver, high tree
trunks dotting the sides of a peak
•tripped of their branches and bark
and whitened by the elements. Now
it is a glimpse of Nlsqually river,
which takes its origin from the glacier
of that name, as It tumbles along
over its rocky bed, and now It is a
forested peak rising toothlike out of
the Jaw of this mighty range of which
Mount Tacoma, "the mountain that
was God," in the picturesque language
of the Indians, is a part.—Ralph P.
Mulvane in National Magazine.
Sunset and 12 o'Clock.
The habit of counting 12 o'clock at
sunset Is very ancient The Turks,
Greeks and moat other people In the
Levant have almost always counted
12 o'clock from sunset, and to this
day the common people cannot under
stand that their • clocks have to be
changed every day and not ours. Tho
Turks have officially adopted meridian
time, but only since the Young Turks
came Into power—that Is, since 1908.
The change was even then not made
Immediately. It encountered a great
deal of opposition on religious grounds,
becanse the Mohammedan hours of
prayer are regulated by the sun. And
the common people still stick to the
old system. Only in Constantinople
and Smyrna are there many Turks
who keep the official meridian time,
and the great majority of people
throughout the Turkish dominions still
count 12 o'clock, as their ancestors
have from time immemorial, at sun
set—New York Times.
The F.n.oua "Green Man of Brighton."
In October, 1S06, an Individual was
to be observed at Brighton, England,
who walked out every day dressed In
green from head to foot—green shoes,
green gloves, green handkerchief and
other articles to match. This eccen
tric person lived alone, knew nobody,
and in his house the curtains, the wall
paper, the furniture, even the plates
and dishes and the smallest toilet ar
ticles, offered, an uninterrupted se
quence of green. Having started on
his career, there was obviously no rea
son to stop, and with full consistency
he carried his scruples so far as to eat
nothing but fruit and vegetables of the
saine green color. The consequences
were extremely disastrous. One fine
day the green man jumped from his
window into the street, rushed forward
and performed a second somersault
from the top of the nearest cliff.
Some Trees.
In the angle between the Kings and
Kern canyons lies a woodland empire
beside which the Uarz and Black for
est of Germany would appear almost
diminutive. Within the borders of the
Sequoia National park and the General
Grant National park rear by there are
no fewer than 1,10C,000 sequoia trees,
and of these 12.000 are more than ten
feet in diameter In the Sequoia Na
tional park stands the largest tree In
the world—not the tallest, but the larg
est—the General Sherman tree, with a
diameter of 30.5 feet and a height of
279.9 feet its massive trunk and
branches contain about 1,000,000 feet
of lumber, board measure. This Is
equal to the amount of lumber that Is
cut from forty acres of average Minne
sota timberland.—Argonaut
Self Convicted.
"Say, pa." queried small Bobby,
"what is gossiping, anyway?"
"Gossiping, my sou," replied the old
man, "If we get right down to the
plain, unvarnished facts. Is lying. But
why do you «fck?"
"Because," answered the young In
vestigator, "ma says you do a lot of
gossiping every time your business
keeps you late at the office."—Ex
change.
Too Much Practice.
"Does your minister practice what he
preaches?" th«» newcomer questioned.
"He does," the citizen answered, with
a sigh, "and I'd be perfectly willing to
have him stop. He lives next door to
me and begins at 7 o'clock Sunday
morning to practice what he Is going
to preach."—New York Times.
Divided It.
Scene—Police court during dispute
over eight day clock.
Magistrate—I award the clock to the
plaintiff.
Defendant—Then what do I get?
Magistrate—I'll give you the eight
day#.—Louden Stray Stories.
Sharks and Death.
There is an old yet still operative su
perstition among seafaring men that
when a shark persistently follows a
vessel it is a sign that some person on
board Is going to die, the alleged rea
son being that the great fish can scent
death.
Fashionable.
Willie—Paw, what is a fashionable
resort? Paw—A place where you can
obtain the least comfort and the most
style for the most money, my son.—

Oh, how bitter a thing It is to look
into happiness through another man's
