Kosaku was the bead guide at a b'g
t"okyo hotel. He and another guide
called Tomora, who also acted as po
liceman and Incidentally as a spy on
foreigners, were constantly quarreling
about the tips and spoils they extract
ed from globe-trotters, says the Wide

pension. At the end of the year To

put It In his pocket, and Invited the
unfortunate Kosaku to a feast at a tea
house. It was Indeed a Judas repast
The two men ate together and drank.
One after another, as little stone bot

enemies swore In bibulous phrases that
all was forgiven. Together they start

would fleece the stranger within their
gates hand in hand, as beloved breth

near the hotel the untidy bridge

Girl's Idea of Men.
A little girl wrote this composition
on men: "Men are what women mar
ry. They drink and smoke and swear,
but don't go to church. Perhaps If
they wore bonnets they would. They
are more logical then 'women and also
more zoological. Both men and wom

It must be said of Buddhism that It
ha left one Indelible mark all over
India, China, and the east, and that
la the teaching of gentleness and
kindness to one another and to ani

a prolonged endeavor to escape from

Detailed Description of House Owned by Farmer in Ohio
That May be Built at an Approximate

An Attractive
fBy J. E. BRIDGMAN.)
One of the most convenient and
modern farmhouses of moderate cost
the writer has seen Is owned by a
farmer in Ohio. It is comfortable
and handsome, and the farmer and
his family enjoy practically all of the
advantages that are to be found In
city homes. The house has few an
gles and corners and it may be built
at an approximate cost of $2,800 to
$3,000, and contain many of the Im
provements essential to comfort, util
ity and beauty.
The main or front part of the house
Is 28 feet square and the kitchen and
pantry 14x20 feet. Xne lower story is
feet high and the second story 8
feet 6 Inches. The exterior walls
are covered with shlplap end lap sid
ing with building paper between. The
roofs are covered with best grade of
5 to 2 cedar shingles, that is, five of
the shingles, when placed together,
will measure practically 2 Inches at
the thick ends. These shingles will
cost slightly more, but they will also
last about three times as long as the
6 to 2 shingles.
All interior side walls and ceilings
receive three coats of plaster with
white finish. All floors are quarter
sawed yellow pine. The trim for din-
ng-room, living-room, hall and li
brary is of birch with mahogany
stain. The kitchen and pantry has
hard pine trim with oil finish.
Entire second floor has pine trim
with flat tints except bathroom, which
has enamel finish.
A- good solid limestone or cement
foundation is placed under the house
and a basement excavation under the
front part. A hot-air furnace Is
placed in the basement, also a hollow
wire lighting plant. The furnace and
RACE SUICIDE
AMONG FARMERS
Decline in Population Shown by
Last Census in Agricultural
Areas Due to Discourage
ment of Married Workers.
fBy C. R. BARN'S.)
The pitiful story was told recently
in a northern daily paper of an in
dustrious and capable farm laborer
who had answered several advertise
ments of farmers in need of just such
experienced services as he was able
to render; but whose application was
rejected, in each instance, because he
had a wife and two small children.
The farmers wanted neither women
nor children about their farms. So
this competent farm worker was
obliged to accept employment in a
city stable.
It Is to be feared that this is by no
means an Isolated instance. Human
kindness has been so far eliminated,
in many cases, from the relationship
between the farmer and his hired
help, and that relationship has been
put so exclusively on a hard business
basis, that the complaint is common
that "the farmer cares more for the
comfort and happiness of his cattle
and hogs than he does for the well
being of his men."
Under healthier conditions In rural
life, the married workman would re
ceive the same preference that he
generally does from employers in
mercantile and manufacturing pur
suits; as being more reliable and less
likely to seek a change, if fairly well
treated, than the single man. Aside
from this, however, there is a moral

lighting plant may be installed at a
cost of $375.
As both the heating and lighting
plants are entirely safe, easy to oper
ate and the expense of running them
less than the cost of operating or us
ing oil lamps and stoves. It would
seem that their use would pay, to say
nothing of the added comfort and
pleasure derived from them.
The furnace will without doubt pre
vent much sickness if the fresh air
shaft is properly Installed, and the
gas lights will save the housewife
much labor; also you will have a light
equal to any city light, electricity not
excepted. '
The cellar has an Inside entrance
under the main stairway, also an out
side entrance.
Root cellar, front room, etc., are
provided in the basement.
The pantry is so located that it pre
vents the heat from entering the dining-room
during the summer months
and contains china closet with doors
opening to dining-room, cupboard,
flour bin, etc.
All rooms are of good size well
lighted, and ample closet room is pro
vided; also a good-sized linen closet.
The living-room has an open, fire
place which also has smoke flue for
the furnace. The large arches con
necting the dining-room, hall and living-room
causes these rooms to seem
larger than they really are, and with
suitable rugs, curtains, etc., a beauti
ful effect may be obtained.
The house has no fancy work, but
when neatly painted will present a
very good front and will not look' feut
of place on almost any building lot,
and for many reasons this building
seems especially adapted to rural dis
tricts. and social obligation, resting at least
as strongly on the farmer as on any
one else, to encourage family life
among workers, and thus to promote
stability in rural populations and to
discourage the nomadism among la
borers which is the bane of our agri
cultural enterprises.
It is altogether probable that the
actual decline in population, shown
by the last census to have taken
place in extensive agricultural areas,
is due to the discouragement of mar
riage among farm workers, and the
refusal of employment to men with
families.
That way lies the decline of states
and the ruin of democracy. If we
want growth in population, and the
perfect working out of the Demo
cratic ideas underlying American In
stitutions, we must reverse our meth
ods, welcome rather than repel the
man with a family, and be willing to
share with him some portion of the
opportunities of the farm.
Utmost Precautions Needed.
Impure milk will be the result if the
utmost precautions are not taken In
handling It, and impure milk neces
sarily means that its products will al
so be Impure and have very poor
keeping qualities. It should be remem
bered that all contamination depends
upon some form of bacteria, which
are present everywhere and
multiply very readily under
conditions and temperatures.

A
N AGED emperor dines alone
on gold plate from the famous
service whose central decora
tive piece is worth $15,000.
There Is only one guest, a
general aid de camp or high official ot
the court. The proudest monarch of
Europe Is alone with one guest. Eti
quette demands it.
There are eight services. Hofburg
ceremony does not permit less. Five
gorgeous flunkeys in pale blue, pink
and gold serve two men. There have
been no flowers on the table Bince the
tragic death of the Empress Eliza
beth; but the lights of wax candles
glint the golden service and the rare
wines In cut glass; they fit from his
toric tapestries to carved wood furni
ture and panels such as no museum
possesses and make dancing shadows
In the distant corners.
There are faint, mysterious noises In
the Hofburg, as of furtive steps up
secret stairways in the walls, and
there are 'silences in which you feel
eyes peeping through holes. ' The
great palace haft an invisible popula
tion of effaced officials, gliding ecclesi
astics, soft-footed domestics, noble old
dames and ancient courtiers, whose
only sounds are creaking joints as
they slip through dim corridors where
sentries stand immobile.
It is the frigid court of a lone, aged
emperor bereaved by bloody loss of
wife, son and favorite brother; so high
that none dare offer him sympathy,
stern and unbending In his haughty
isolation. When his daughters, Marie
Valeria, with her battalion of children,
or Geisele, became a morose old wom
an, are not there on some rare visit,
the emperor is "alone." It Is his wish.
He Is too old for state dinners and
court functions, except the most indis
pensable, brief and infrequent.
The aged emperor is dreaming of
the gorgeous gala dinners of the pat.
He sees the Ideal throngs of other
days. Again he hears the three taps
of the Grand Chamberlain's cane to
announce the entrance of their Impe
rial and royal majesties. By enchant
ment doors fly open and the glittering
throng, bejeweled and perfumed, flash
ing colors amid plumes, aigrette and
flowers, laughing and murmuring to
the clink of gala swords and sabers, Is
struck to silence. Their majesties
pass.
Vanished all that The aged em
pror sighs, and plans little pleasures
which the doctors will permit him. He
may still hunt; doubtless he no longer
climbs crags after the chamois or the
woodcock'; but his hand is still firm
as he waits on his camp stool in the
forest; and stag or roebuck that
comes within range is sure of his af
fair. Horseback riding is mpre diffi
cult and it Is doubly painful to give
up a favorite exercise that kept him
In touch with the great love of his
life the army. Twice a year they
hoist him to tne back of a strong, tran
quil animal, a phantom of the bril
liant cavalier of other days; and Fran
cis Joseph, stiff and bruised, watches
the spring review and the finale of the
autumn maneuvers. Ho loves his
Igar and smokes continually the
green and Juicy marvels made for him
by the two famous Cuban growers.
The aged emperor looks up from his
cigar. How lonely Is th immense pal
ace full of hidden courtiers, func
tionaries, servants. It Is still early,
not yet seven. Francis Joseph risg.
His guest takes ceremonious leave and
the sovereign goes to his study. What
a place, that study. Suites of libra
ries and offices on endless corridors,
,'rcm which once went out minute ad
ministration of the dual empire! Fran
cis Joseph sighs with relief.
A confidential valet helps him Into
hat and overcoat. By a bijou eleva
tor whose door Imitates a bookcase he
descends to the ground floor. Between
the emperor's study and the waiting
limousine is a trip of a short minute
saving a detour of half a mile by
suites of rooms, stairways and corri
dors. He walks 20 steps across the
little courtyard to the door, where a
limousine awaits him. There is no
special secrecy; it is to avoid cere
mony merely. He gives no directions;
the chauffeur knows where to go.
Quitting the frigid, solemn Hofburg,
out Into the bright lit, bustling early
evening of Vienna, past crowds has
tening to theater and music hall, into
fair streets of residence, the auto
stops at a comfortable villa. The old
sovereign enters the gate alone. The
front door opens as he mounts the
three marble steps. When the door
shuts he Is no longer the dread, lone
ly emperor and apostolic king, but
Herr Schratt. regularly called "the
Colonel," careless, easy, phlegmatic
and slouchy, bright, warm, cozy, snug
among good old friends.
Since the tragic death of the Em
press Elizabeth, Francis Joseph Is a
widower, 81 years old, and If all
Vienna smiles at "Monsieur Schratt" it
is with respectful sympathy and under
standing. Years ago when the Burg
theater was a wing of the Hofburg, the
great actress Katharine Schratt the
Sarah Bernhardt and Rejane of Vienna
was presented to Francis Joseph by
Empres Elizabeth herself. For long
she, too, has lived retired, and the
mourning emperor found her so intelli
gent, so fine and also good, that, great
love and sorrow having burnt out, an
affectionate friendship grew up to
give him a kind of peaceful solace.
The court calls her "the Bour
geoise." With Katharine Schratt, for
the first time in 65 years, he learned
what blesesd relief from frigid eti
quette and numbing ceremony might
be. The woman of heart, the artlstio
genius, who played the roles of great
queens on the boards of the Court the
ater, before archduchesses and prin
cesses, slowly and tactfully broke
through the crust of the divinity that
hedged and hampered the poor man
throughout his life.
Leaving crown and scepter on the
hat-rack, he enters the bright little
card room that adjoins two bijou par
lors, and takes the best easy chair,
while Mme. Kathartna hastens with
the foot warmer. He lights a olgar.
The bell rings and the partners of
Interminable games oftTarok a sort !
of Austrian bridge arrive; two an-
clent friends of the great actress be

ways the same; Herr PaJmer, director
of the Bank des Pays Austrichiens and
an international private banker so ex

well known as Francis Joseph's,
Tne DanKer ana Mons. schratt are
fast old cronies, to the sorrow
and scandal of the Countess Cho
tek, morganatic but directing wife of
Francis-Ferdinand, heir to the dual
crown. Often the emperor loses all
the money In his purre a dozen flor
ins at the nightly game of Tarok.
He plays badly. None wants him for
partner; so they cut to see who takes
him. .He laughs boisterously. .
At ten o'clock the limousine Is an

Vienna, still bright and boisterous,
to the cold, solemn Hofburg. It stops
at the little door of the small court
yard. The old man enters, and a si
lent valet meets him.
