PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS An Amateur Linguist In Japan The Japanese language is a nice lit tle exercise, and I am going to try to learn enough phrases to make it pos sible for me to travel away from the tourist routes on my motorcycle. I remember my first experience with the language, which was my most , ("nccessf ul one. It was the night of i tiie lantern festival in Shimoneski, and I had just arrived from Korea. I had fceen doing some Tough traveling in north China and Manchuria and was ready to attempt the Japanese lan guage. One delicious refreshment v.hich the Japanese have is shaved ice 6prinkled with sugar or laved with eyrup, and the man of whom I bought this delicacy could talk English. I had a better opinion of Japanese pol iteness then than I have now, as I just had tea at one of the hotels of the Imperial Japanese Government Railway, so I asked the man how to say "Thank you. How much is it?" thus ending my entire vocabulary in one sentence. I now know six words instead of three. The Christian Herald. Notice. The undersigned have purchased the business of T. H.

Spoitts- BY HAMILTON. New York, Nov. 23. (United Press Statf CorresBfiidcnt) 'When Chick Kviitis, the nationul open und amutuur champion, visited New York recently ufter his triumph at the Merion club, Philadelphia, he told the United Press that in winning the national amateur chumpon he hod vaulted into the high est point of his life's ambitions. "I have reached a point in my game," said Evans, "where it is not necessary for me to break out in cold sweat whenever 'I have to sink a long putt to win a hole." Fact of the matter is that it was just this point considered the champion's weakest which en abled him to defeat Robert Gardner for the national title, and which car ried him to victory in the open tourna-1 ment some time earlier. Of course, there were few times when Evans' nerves were strained by the nature of the putts he was forced to make, but the fact that he had lost many matches in his long career as a tournament player through poor putting made hi3 performance stand out. "I have learned to drive as I never drove be fore," Evans said. ' "My mashie shots have improved all summer and I want to say right here that it was with the greatest elation that I finished off the hole which -gave me the title. I've got that championship and I mean to keep it as long as I can." Vi'TTt -! l- " -r t SUET SALE Our entire stock of suits at prices 33 1-3 per cent to 50 per cent off.

Kittlm Ladies' Ready-to-Wear Pets, Insects and Human. In Japan if one will leave the hotel .and tho tourist office and the cocktail-drinkers and go out into the renl native quarter, there arc enough things to interest anyone. One old ninn passes with his load of crickets, which sing in hot weather and ore kept in cages like so many canaries. These gentle creatures make a noiso a sense of humor. I have trained him so that if we pass any one at unusual work or go near novel scenes, he points out these things to me. He knows my fondness for Japanese chil dren, who are the cutest tots on earth, with' their gay clothes, slant eyes and hobbed hair, and if he sees an un us.ually bright dress or a fine child, he points them out with a . sort of fatherly pride of race.

For six days the Jolly old monarch will hold court, surrounded by tens of thousands of the finest apples of all varieties grown In the land. Arrangements for his visit have been assured by the raising of a fund by the business men of Spokane, who have selected a board of trustees repre sentative il every fruit district In the northwest to make plans for the 1910 show. Allen Melseiihelmer has been elected clmlrmnn of the board, and Gor don C. Corbaley, managing secretary of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce, tins been chosen scerctary-munager of the show for the fourth consecutive year. "The purpose of the apple show Is purely educational," states Mr. Melsen helmer. "The northwest has many millions of dollars Invested in the apple business, and this show is held each year to provide a common meeting plnce for the growers, where they niny oomc to compare notes mid exchange experi ences as to the best methods of profitably handling their orchards and market ing their product. ' "This year there will be a scries of conferences In which practical fruit growers, business men, bankers, transportation officials and men who are tak ing the leadership In marketing and every phase of the orchard Industry will participate. The conferences will continue four days." Chairman Melsenheliuer has directed that the 1010 National Apple show be made the most beautiful of all, and unusual efforts are being made to dis play the northwest's most perfect apples In an inviting manner. "On the the ory that nil work and no play makes Juck a dull boy we arc arranging a se ries of afternoon and evening programs that will keep the crowds interested every minute," he says. "On arrival at tho show, which again will be held within three blocks of the business center, each visitor will be given an apple pie on which to nibble during the Inspection of the fruit. Philip Pel und his Itusslun baud have been engaged for afternoon and evening concerts In the apple show Inolosure. The big afternoon feature at the show will be a series ef children's pageants similar to those held lust year, In which hundreds of elaborately and artis tically decorated baby carriages, go-carts and flonts, each carrying Its load of Interesting br.Vsyhood, paraded through the show grounds. "The court of King Pip will be a brilliant spectacle In the evenings. Each of the leading northwestern apple districts Is tu select ..v popular vote a young woman to represent that community as a princess at the apple court. There will be six or seven princesses, Including Princess Apple ISlossoiu, who Is to be selected by popular vote In the city of Spokane. "Another feature of the evening urograms will be n style show, in which a score of comely young women, wearing the latest things decreed by Dame Fashion, will occupy the stage. This feature proved ipilte Interesting to the women, and to the men as well, at last year's show. "The women's department, which brought out 2,(iu entiles of borne moili pies, jellies and a thousand and one apple dishes, will be given enlarged space this year to assure facilities for the display of housewives' products from al parts of the northwest. "Wo have been advised of a number of conventions to be held In Spokani during apple show week, due to the fact that nil railroads have granted speclu reduced rates of fare and one-third for the round trip from all points la Wash Ingtou, Oregon, Idaho, Montana aud British Columbia." jH.
