Wnose virtues both of head and heart
Is all one could desire;
I will not give her name to you,
Her home will not reveal.
Suffice it that we hail her as
The Maiden of Coquille.
She has such gentle, winsome ways
To charm the rapt beholder;
An atmosphere of sweet content
Seems always to infold her:
Her liquid eyes so pure and bright
Have nothing to conoeal;
And hearts grow lighter when she smiles,
This maiden of Coquille.
And wnen array'd for walking ont
In chaste and plain attire.
The people all with one accord
Looked on but to admire;
Why ia it that the young and old
Tneir homage thus reveal,
And honor her as tho’ a queen,
This maiden o f Coquille?
It is not that ner garb is rich,
Or jewels clasp her arms
That draws the public gaze to her
To note the mAiiy charms,
It is the style and queenly grao3
No cheapness can conceal.
That make the people proud to meet
The maiden of Coquille.
She shares her mother’s daily toil,
Nor sighs for slothfal ease,
And deema her labor well repaid
To know those efforts please.
And when her fair hands have prepared
Their simple, frugal meal,
A mother and a father bless
This maiden of Coquille.
I will not write or speak her name;
We all have loved her well;
Her virtues are so bright and fair
'Tin sweet op them to dwell;
Her kindly words and gentle ways
To hearts of all appeal,
Long may she live to glpd our hearts
This maiden of Coquille.

A LetUr From Japan.
This is part of a letter from W al­
ter Mast, who is now a yeoman 3d
Class, in the U. 8. Navy, to his
mother, at Pomona, Calif. He was
formerly a Coquille boy.
Yokohama, Japan, Oct., 14, 1903.
In addition to what I have already
written I will give you an acoount
of my four days leave, during which
time I made a short trip inland for
the purpose of seeing some of the
grandures with which nature has
endowed Japan, and which attract
tourists from all parts of the globe.
So I and a young man who came
over here with me from San Fran­
cisco, took an early train from
Yokohama, on the morning of Oct­
ober the third, and in an hour ar­
rived at Tokio, where we spent the
day visiting the Government Build­
ings, and tho Iloyal Palace, also the
parks, museums, zological gardens,

through a productive farming coun­

Arriving at Utsunomiyu, we changed
cars to a branch line for Nikko,

heavy grades of the foot hills, but
were still passing through a beauti­

a pretty forest-covered canyon. A t
about 4:15, p. m. we arrived at
Nikko, two thousand feet above the
Rea, as it was rather late we did not
get to see much the first day. Wo
stopped over night at a Japanese
hotel, and as the people could speak
very little or no English we had
considerable difficulty iu making

Before you can enter a Japanese

and put on Japanese slippers. They

in one of them you think you are
going to loose it, and I had a great
time trying to keep my feet in those
slippers. Here every thing was ser­
ved on the Japnnese style, snd we
had a great time. They gave us a
bath “ Japanese style,” and it was
fine, only the water was hot enough
