FOREIGNERS IN JAPAN.
Interesting Experiences of Two Amir*
y ican Women Who Lived
Like the Natives.
Two American ladies who have
lived in Japan in real Japanese
If vie recently related some of 1 heir
Experiences.
It was no easy matter to live
Amongst the natives, for foreign
ers in Japan are restricted to cer
tain areas, and are not allowed to
become householders outside of
these areas, or "concessions/' as
they are called. The adventurous
ladies accordingly took a house in
the name of their Japanese maid
servant. Even then a difficulty re
mained, for it was found that Jap
anese law would only permit a for
eigner to reside outside the for
eign limits for two reasons—ill
health or scientific research. An
obliging Japanese doctor, how
ever, was found who certified to a
trifling ailment and thus satisfied
the law.
After that it was necessary to
register at the police headquar
ters to which the visitors had to
send a report of their doings every
week!
The ladies were not such thor
ough converts to Japanese living
as to dispense with their piano,
the sounds of which drew crowds
of native neighbors round the
house every evening.
One night the quaint, simple or
der of things received a rude
shock. The corners of tin* room
in which the visitors were sleep
ing swayed to and fro, and the
the house seemed about to fall.
II was the inevitable Japanese
earthquake. Fortunately no
harm was done. Japanese houses
are built with special reference to
earthquakes.
i ne newcomers acquired great
popularity by the reason of the
fact that their maid gave hot
baths to their neighbors, thus en
abling them to save their char
coal!

carry within themselves employ
ment for other industries, such as
.stone masons, brick layers, car
penters, and day labor of a gener
al nature. Prohibition would
knock them all out. And now, in
conclusion let me say, that I do
not advocate the use of strong!
drink to excess by any means, j
Don’t take too much of it, but re
member that when you do take a
drink of it that you are helping
some one else to make an honest
living. 1 think that there is but
one true God-given religion to
man, and that is. Reason. I se it,
and your pathway through life
will be strewn with roses and dan
delions. Disregard it and you
will meet up with thorns and Can
ada thistles.
Thanks, Mr. Editor for favors.
1 bid you adieu.

GOVERNOR DAVIS’ SPEECH.

| that Senator Berry voted against
the passage of the bill.
It has been said that he had
been unfair to the old soldiers, but
he had paid, he said, more than
twice as much in pensions to the
old soldiers than any other gover
nor had ever done, and he was the
lirst governor who ever recom
mended to the legislature an act to
increase the Confederate pension*
\Ye have spent $140,000 in
building an annex to our insane
asylum and today have one of the
greatest institutions of this kind
in the South. On the Deaf-Mute
Institute we have spent #90,000
and are now spending $50,000
more. We have spent $100,000
on the state university and are
spending nearly #100,000 more.
All this has been accomplished and
I have been talking politics, too,
and Arkansas is not yet ruined.
Her tax valuations have increased
more than #l00,000,oo0. we have
a land of peace, prosperity and
plenty, a land of edueationland re
ligion, yet Senator Berry would
have you believe that this con
stant agitation will ruin Arkansas.
He touched upon the misman
agement of the penitentiary and
the fact that he had been ealled the
“pardoning governor.* He was
glad of an opportunity, he said, to
pardon a man out of that hell-hole.
He closed with a tribute to the
farmers and touched upon the Far
mers' Union. Every farmer, he
said, should get into the Union as
quickly as possible, and he prom
ised them that if he was elected to
the senate he would let that little
crowd of Wall street gamblers
know that he was in town when he
got to Washington City.
