I went down to the docks and boarded one of the little steamers which for eign residents here In Nagasaki term the "Nomo liners," probably be cause they have not the slightest re semblance to a liner. The two hours of the journey I spent drinking tea with the "captalnsan" and the "boa'n san" on what might, in a Pickwickian sense, he called the bride, writes C. A Hlbbard In the Chicago Dally News. The little steamer sputtered, splashed and grunted through the waves most nobly except at those times when near lhg a port the captain was too free In his use of the whistle. The "liners" resent the indignity of having their approach heralded in such a publio manner and stop during the opera tions. Most admirable modesty! At five in the afternoon we came to anchor In a witching; little lagoon at the village of Nomo. Here, with six or eight other passengers, I was rowed ashore In a sampan by a local Charon. A step took me to the farther side of the promontory, where I embarked for a half hour's sail to Kabashlma, an island lying some three miles off the mainland. Looking for an Inn. The boatmen had directed me to the "Omi" Inn as the best place in the Island. To find It in the one, long ; narrow street of the village seemed to i be easy enough. Before I realized it, ; however, I had passed out through the town to the other side of the island, and quite missed anything that looked like an inn. I started back. The streets were deserted except for the women taking their baths along the roadside.

It gave them to think me far more advanced In the language than I am. I passed over the preliminaries successfully. "Yes, I came from America." "I was twenty-seven years old" (my age Is different every time I am asked). "I was just six feet tall." "No, I wasn't married." Hut when It came to the Intricacies of lan guage Involved In a discussion of the coming presidential election in Amer ica, the relative merits of "Tafto" and "Itusowelto." I was swamped. I won der what Taft would have given to have heard my exposition of his plat form to the boiling tubful of naked citizens of the little Ashing village. The one man he of the beard 8eemed to have won his position of respect in the community through the fact that he could read and was the honored subscriber to an Osaka paper. And then back to the inn.

Hut for the vegetation tha insects would perish; but for the Itmect the birds would perish, and but for the birds vegetation would be destroyed.

Merchants who use tungsten electric signs never lose their way by cboosiag the wrong road to success. You eimply can not fail to attract new customers if you use the electric sign. It acta like an irresistable magaet, drawing all the trade with in its reach. Tungsten lamps give over twice the volume of light of any other incandescent lamp.

OREGON POWER COMPANY J3URDEN lng a bath in a tumbler of water; that was the impression I received from an old matron comfortably ensconced in a small tub at the side of the street. Her years made my approach excus able to myself? I found afterward that really it was only my own fear which I had to consult In the matter, as even younger women and maidens of the cpmmunlty were unruffled by my ap pearance under the same circum stances. Tipping my hat to the dame, I ventured: "Condescend to pardon me. I will cause you honorable trouble, but kind ly tell me where I shall find the 'Oml' inn." "No, please don't trouble to excuse yourself. Aa for the inn which you are seeking, it is only necessary to go on a little farther and you will find it at the right. It has two stories, so you will easily find it." "But great thanks. You have been most kind." At the Inn I changed my light clothes for the more comfortable sum mer kimono of the Japanese and, es corted by the maid of the hotel as guide, I hunted up the public bath. My visit to the bath was an event of civic Importance. No wonder I had been obliged to Inquire my way a few minutes ago from the women. All of the men of the village were gathered here for their evening bath. Entering the front room, I gave the old dame in charge a. 5 cent piece, to receive back: 3 cents In change, strode to the back room, shedding my clothes and wooden Clogs as I went At the Town Tub. The town tub was the meeting place for the city fathers. Here they all were squatting up to their necks In the boiling water and lined up around the aides of the bath. At the upper and always the same curiosity as to the foreigner. After a dinner, the piece de resistance of which was raw fish, I went to bed. In a country Inn, though, there Is considerable differ ence between going to bed and going to Bleep. A necessary preliminary to the latter Is complete exhaustion from trying to wreak one's vengeance on the fleas. I finally dropped off to the drone of many voices chanting their Buddhist prayers. Perhaps they were praying for a good run of fish on the morrow. The next morning, after an early breakfast on raw eggs and rice, I hired a boat with two men to ferry me across a rather narrow etralt for the sum of 1 cents. At Misaki, an other of the fishing villages here, I visited the "Temple of Mercy," a Budd hist temple of the Zen persuasion, to see my friend the young abbot of the sanctuary. A description of this tem ple and its history does not belong here. When I stopped there last the head priest told me that I was the only foreigner In the 1,200 years the temple had existed to have stayed there over night. Later on, upon an examination of his records, he correct ed himself: "No, 122 years ago a Chi nese priest rested here over the day." It was a Chinaman who got ahead of me! Force of Habit. A poker game was in progress, and Mr. McCann called for one card, which was passed to him by Mr. O'Grady. Mr. O'Grady How are ye fixed now that ye have a spade? Mr. McCann (suspiciously) How do ye know that I have a spade? Mr. O'Grady Because, when I gave ye the cyard, ye spit in yer right hand. Can Write His Name 394 Ways.
