(By United Press to The Daily Bulletin) NEW YORK. Dec. 21. "Kori kori" means ice, and that's all the Japanese an American traveling in the Orient need know. The rest will take care of itself because Eng lish is the commercial languago there and any Oriental business man or hotel clerk who has not a smat tering of our tongue can hare no dealings with the American tourist. On a hot day, which is every day, we looked fbr the Japanese short hand sign, translated "Drinks sold , here." Appearing over the door of nearly one-third of the stores in any little town this sign can be seen two blocks away. Drinks on sale in clude mineral water, "Tan-San"; beer, a poor variety; and what would correspond to our American "pop," all lukewarm. At our cry of "Korf-kori," the young lady in the kimono dWed into a strong box and emerged with a piece of ice, slightly larger than the loaf of sanitary sugar found here on restaurant tables, carefully unwrap ped and washed it, and then put the ice under a shaving machine. It was quite a ceremony, and curious children gathered to witness the performance. All railroad tickets are printed one side in Japanese and the other in English. - Signs in Japanese and English announce the name of the station, and there is even a sign board reading, "The principal points of interest here are ." . It is said that the lack of linguist ic facility of the average English-, man is the reason he refuses, to learn the tongues of other people, and hence all nations have to learn his. On our way to Yokahama there were twenty-six nationalities on the ship, each person practising English on the other. It was the only way they could converse in common. At Kobe a fat, uncom fortable Russian was trying his best to explain to a Japanese secret serv ice man just why be left the army. The conversation had our own lan guage sounding like Sam Bernard and Weber and Fields discussing the high cost of living. There is quite a bit of faking about Japanese proficiency in Eng lish. Everybody in hotels and shops says he understands, but fre quently his sole acquaintance with 4he language is "Yes" and "No." We did run across a waiter who knew two more words, "Never wind." Given quite an explanation from six persons at our table as to how they wanted their eggs he list ened gravely to 'each; then said blandly, "Never mind," and brought them in soft boiled all around. Reaching Yoshida at' 4 one after noon, it being necessary to travel on to Lake Shojl immediately in or-. der to catch Bteanier train, wo told the proprietor of the Inn that wo wanted two carriages. "Yes," he answered. An hour passed and two coolies showed up with our bnggogo on their should ers. "Are the carriages coming?" wo asked, as It had begun to rain, and we thought of Lake Shojl twelve miles away. "Y'es," he answered. After anoth er half hour's watt tho host started bowing us out. Just then a young Japanese, home from Dartmouth college, appeared. We explained our predicament. After a short talk with the hotel proprietor ho said: "He hasn't any carriage; ha ex pects you to wulk." But we dldnt; wo rode tho twelve miles In chairs.

Youth's Companion, Hay 8ed For Confetti, Weddings In China are arranged by "go-betweens" usually the busy old gossips of the district who get a com mission on the amount paid by the bridegroom to the father of the bride. On tile wedding day the bride Is clad in red and carried in a Bed an chair covered with red. Anybody bus a right to turn .back the chair curtains and take a look at her. Her hair .is elaborately oiled, and so all the other girls throw hayseeds at her, which stick. On reaching the homo of her husband the bride has to submit to the candid criticisms of the entire family. The strange, wedding ceremony con sists In the husband and wife eating rice from each other's bowl. Of course there Is a feast, but It (laps not cost much, for every guest is expected to contribute something. SHE ANSWERED NAPOLEON. And Her Brave Reply Subdued tha An gry Conquaror. Napoleon, the rough and ruthless con queror, considered women as of no Im portance in nut loan I affairs, and he was always resentful of their luterfer. eucc. Ilut in at least ono Instance ot record, as a recent writer has pointed out. It was otherwise. When, after the battle of Jena. Napo leon entered Weimar ho proceeded to the palace of the duke to niako It bis hcudiiarters. The fighting and plun dering In the town were not yet over wiieu, toward evening, he entered the hall. As he did so Hie duchess, who bad Wen waiting In her apartment, appeared at tho lop of the great stulr case to greet blm. '"Who are you?" ho demanded rough ly. In surprise. "I em tho Duchess of Weimar," she replied, with dignity. "I pity you!" he cried fiercely. "1 am going to crush your husband!" The next morning when they met again ho Inquired, with brusque displeasure: "Madame, how could j our linsbnnd be so mad as to mako war against me? ' "Your majesty would have despised him if he had hot," was the reply. "How so?" asked NajKleon. "My husband has been In tho sen-Ice of the king of Prussia upward of thir ty years." replied tho duchess. "Hurely It was not at the moment that the King hnd so mighty an enemy as your majesty to contend against that the duko could abandon Id in." An answer at once so spirited, noble and tactful softened even Napoleon's arrogance. In the conversation that followed the duchpss was able to securo promises of consideration for the duko ond relief for the townspeople. At tho close of It the compieror said to her, "Madame, you are moro worthy of re spect than any woman I liava known. Von have saved your husband. I pur don blm, but remember It is wholly on your account As for him, be is a bad cose !" That was merely Napoleon's opinion, Tho duke, at any rate, was properly ap preciative of his duchess, for when tho document that secured the independ ence of Weimar was brought to him by a French general he refused to takn It Into his bands, but said simply, "Give It to my wife, the emperor In tended It for her." Youth's Companion. Sash Factory Wood Bend White Pine Sash Co. Telephone 441 n Old Tim Oratory Unpopular. The definition of "orntoi-y" Is diffi cult but In the public- mind that form of public speaking called "oratory" Is cither amusing or offensive. It Is sug gestive of the mouthing and ranting of some old time tragedian who roared and bellowed on the stage. . The public of today will stand for eloquence which bean the mark of sincerity, but tho old form of "oration" with gestures of practiced grace, frequent allusion to Greek and Roman history and plentiful quotations from the poets no longer stirs men to great depths or heights.
