Spanish saying-
A DINNER IN JAPAN
Troubles of a Hungry Man Not to
the Manner Born.
SQUATTING AT THE TABLE.
Hebrew or Jew?
The name "Jew" was used original
ly to denote one belonging to the tribe
of Judah. After, the return from the
Babylonian captivity any member of
the new state was called a Jew. The
name "Hebrew" in its widest sense in
cludes any member of the. northern
branch of Semites, including the Israel
ites, Ammonites. V.oabites. etc. It is
used, lhuvever. specifically to denote
au Israelite. '
Field for Ambition.
"Yes. father." he said to old Mr.
Hayseed. "I've graduated, and my edu
cation is complete. I s'pose I know
about everything. Now 1 must choose
a field where my abilities can be used
to the best advantage. 1 want a large
field where 1 will have plenty of room.
"Son." replied the old man. "there is
the ten-acre cornfield, and you kin
have it all to yourself."
It Tried the Patience and the Muscles
of the Stranger In a Strange Land,
but From an Epicurean Standpoint
the Worst Was Yet to Come.
Describing an amusing experience In
Japan. Homer Croy in Leslie's Weekly
tells how. after arriving by train In uu
Interior town, in his efforts to tind a
hotel, be tried to break into a bank.
Realizing his mistake, he liually, by
use of the sigu language, was directed
to a real hotel, where, after removing
his hes, he entered. Then:
What Interested iue most was some
thing to eat. and opening my mouth to
its fullest I pointed in They motioned
iue to follow upstairs, but r held back,
showing lh.il I wanted the dining
room, not the bedroom. Seeing a door,
whieh 1 tho, mdt must be the dining
room. I pushed p open, but it was the
kitchen; so. Honking that they knew
more about things than 1 did. I let
them lead two upstairs When the girl
pushed Uu U the sli, litis doors ui.v
heart crawled down another step, for
there was only one pie e of furniture
lu the room, a seal that tooled like a
two legged milk stool covered with
carpel. There wasn't a single chair in
the room and no place u hang my hat
or coat, nothing cx epi a bare room
with a heavy matting on the tloor and
one of my toes brazenly peeping
through my stocking.
I started to sit down on the milk
stool.-but it squirted out from under
me. while the servant girl made no
1 effort to hide her laughter Dropping
; down on the tloor. she showed me how
'to use the milk stool by sitting on the
' floor and leaning one arm on It. like a
j picture before l'ompeli.
j She took my hat and coat, and I won
i dercd w here she was going to hang
I them, for there wasn't a single nail or
hook In the room. Carrying them over
to the wall, she pushed back a small
sliding door and placed them on a shelf
and brought me back a kimono. She
motioned for me to pet Into it and
started down the hall. I got out of my
clothe-; and was just, slipping into the
kimono when I heard her coming 1
called to her to stop, but she did not
understand, so 1 wrapped the kimono
around me the best way I could and
tried to keep it together, for there were
no buttons on it.
On the tloor she placed a table and
on it a pot of tea. The table was just
barely a foot high, and there was no
miik or sugar for the tea. for these
things spoil, tea to a Japanese. Then
shecame with a plate of ffs&T a bowl
of rice and a little square box with a
bamboo tulw? in It and a bowL In the
bowl was a plow of charcoal. Soon 1
puzzled out that this was for lighting
cigarettes and the bamboo for dropping:
the butta into. The first thing a Japa
nese thinks of is tea. and the next is
cigarettes.
I started to draw up to the table, but.
1 could not End a place for my knees
They wouldn't let me get near enough
the table to carry out my designs on
the fish. Seeing my trouble, the girl
dropped down to show me how. She
turned her feet back, with her toes
pointing straight behind ber, and sat
down, her face in one direction aud her
toes In another It looked easy, but it
brought me up with a short breath. No
Kuropean can sit in such an attitude.
Putting one leg under the table, with
one bare knee glistening on the side, I
bent over the table to proceed with tho
eating, but hero I rau up against a
snag. All I had to eat with was chop
sticks. Weaving them through my
fingers, I tried to break off a piece
from the slab uf fish, but it wouldn't
break. I turned it over, hoping to
spring It. but with my wabbling sticks
I could only grease the plate. Openly
the girl laughed. It was better than a
picture show to her. She showed me
how It should be done by lifting the
whole fish with the sticks and taking
bites as if U were a piece of bread.
The next dish was something that
puzzled me. In a round wooden dish
about the size of the bowl that used to
come in a package of oatmeal were
white squares of meat in hot water. I
worked out a piece and ate It and
a-ked her through signs what It was.
She threw out enough for a paragraph,
but that dil not bring me light. I
asked her again, and away she went
ami came back with a look and. com
ing up close, pointed to the picture of
a horse! I had been eating horse meat.
Something in me began to sink, leavlug
! tne weak and limp'. Although she
j I Tought me two or three more things
j to tat. I waved them aside. My ap;o
i tit o for the time had been appeased.
John Muir's Great Wealth.
John Muir. who has left a rich leg
acy to his countrymen, like so many
thousands of writers and American
idealists, was poor, lie was a close

multimillionaire railroad king. One
.lay Mr. Muir surprised his wealthy
fiietid by saying. "Hat Timam you
know 1 am a richer mau lhau you
are':"
"Yes:" said Harriman. with a qnes
t ion in tus tone.
'T.t'cau-o." continued M ulr. "I have
a 1 the money I want, stud you
haven't." From "American Ideals." by

f For eleven months
in the year some people
let the local merchants fill
their wants. Then about
Christmas time they think it
necessary to go out of town.
If the local merchants are
good enough for you
eleven months in the
year they should be good
enough for you during
the holiday season.
Don 't go out of town.
