It is a valuable asset which most of those who are keen ob- servers realize and respect, especially since the lack of that qualification is often the reason for failure to remain in public favor. There are instances, nowever, where inconsiderate treat- ment of the people reflects a nervous and irritable disposition and the need for curbing such probably inspired Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston to issue five rules for observance by city em- ployes in this respect. His orders are: “Be in your office during the re- quired hours. Make the citizens feel that they in eity offices by right and not by fa “Answer all reasonable Inquiries without delay or reluctance.

This should obtain in whatever walk of life the caller may be, or how unfamiliar he may be with the rules or meth- nds of doing business. There Is no reason why discourtesy should exist in public office any mors than in pri- vate business, and a5 great if not greater effort to satisfy and accommo- date should be manifested THE JAPANESE QUESTION. Anether step has been taken in the California Japanese situatien as the result of Japan’s latest nete to this, government and It Is an optimistic mnd proper outleok which the presi- derit takes in the belief that it epens the way for very Interesting and friendly negotiations, Japan demands that this government shall take its own course for the annulment of the objectionable law which has been pass- ed by California, that it has no deal- ings with the state, but the nation is what they look to, to adjust the mat- ter. This in view of the attitude of the government that California has acted within its rights as a state and with proper respect to the treaty ex- isting between this country and Japan, may offer some embarrassment, but it also paves the way for a review of the matter and the bringing out of the facts as they exist for a better un- derstanding of the situation. It is apparent that there is need on the part of both governments, of more light on the position of the other, as to just what is claimed and the rights by which the position is maintained. If Japan does not fully understand the conditions and the ecir- cumstances by which this country is actuated and the relations of state and federal government, such should ba provided, and there should be a definite knowledge of what Japan is aiming at in her demands, as to wheth- er it is simply nullification of the new “alifornia law, or naturalization which they are seeking. The situation is clearly one which diplomacy can han- dle. DISTRIBUTING THE BIBLE. Christianity’s onward march is to be noted in many ways throughout the world through numerous influences but the important part which the Bible plays in this work of bettering man- kind is indicated hy the steady de- mand which there is for it amons all nations. The change which nations undergoing has opened the way the Bible as never before and it is vearly exceeding all records of dis- tribution. The total issues at home and abroad amount to 4,049,610 vol- umes, consisting of 399,734 Bibles 891 new testaments and 2,935, tions. When 1t s re: d that is twice the number issued five y ago and that the Americ: 85 por. thi: s n Bible so- clety has issued over a million a year for every vear of its ninety-seven, the greater opportunities for distributing it and the greater appreciation it 1s receiving as well as its influence can well be understood. 1t is the printing of the Bible in all languages which has so greatly in- creased its circulation and it is by no means the foreign flelds which are founa without this greatest of all books. Nearly 800,000 copies of the criptures were distributed in this country last vear. in at least eighty languages.

Do not get In the habit of reciting your troubles to friends and acquain- ces unless you desire to make them feel like running away from you every tlme they see you coming. Your troubles are interesting to no one but yourself, and if you took less interest in them they would be less trying to you. We are told man is born to trouble; and the reason we should not borrow trouble is because we all have troubles enough of our own. If trou- ble s ours by Inheritance we can greatly increase it by meddlesome- ness, and by imaginary fears. If God has anything to do with Your troubles you may depend upon it He puts no more upon you than you can bear. The truth is man Is the architect of his own troubles as well as of his own fortune. It has become proverbial that those who bear trouble in silence triumph over it. The Scotchman is Drone to say, “Oh, my troubles,” but you never catch him telling them. When it comes to friends there are usually two kinds, the ones we need, and the ones who need us. The first are friends in deed. What is the use of having a friend unless he is of some benefit to us? Well, if he is a worthy and apprecciative person' we may have lots of pleasure in helping him. In friendship’s realms there are a lot of nondescripts who have designs, and who are foxy enough often to realize upon them. Real friends are seldom fawners. True friends are tolerent of one another; they do not always goo- 800, but have their differences of opinion, They usually know how to agree to disagree, and when to lift and forgive.

To know you must make your own way is better than entertaining the hope that soms one will make it for you. The lad who doesn’t know how to depend upon anyone but himself is well started. He never looks for a position, but just grapples work where ever he can find it, and he makes stepping stones of trades and vocations. He moves up because ‘the world can't keep him down. Industry is not only the main stay but a blessing. The world is so exacting that a man cannot get anything for nothing; al- though many people are daily hum- igged by being made to believe that ch a thing is possible. Those who | seem to live by their wits and who | flourish because of dishonest practices find no real joy in life. The man who gets his living by the sweat of his brow finds more pleasure than the man who profits by making the other fellow sweat. Do him quick or he'll do you! is a rogues’ motto.

All the world talks too much | and does too little. This is in e dence wherever there are issues to be | ma or problems to be solved. Tn | legislative halls men talk to kill time as a balk to legislation: and it Is such talk as time eventually is likely to make them feel ashamed of. In re- lgious conventions men talk to ad- vance resolutions, or to defeat them, in a spirit that is far from being com- mendable, and say things which are more human than religions. Talk has killed as many politicians as it has ever made, and it Is what the willy depend upon to catch suckers. Tt is no. man's salvatfon, although not a few evangelists think it is. Talk is cheap, and when unbacked by a_re- flective ming is simply foolish. He who leaps without looking is not worse than he who talks without re- flection.

Far ( Written Specially for The Bulletin.) “There, I must confess myself wed- sighed the old bugle atthe close of mordal day. “I think I must be growing old, for the excitement of the day tells on me as it never used to do; but 1 am always glad when the day comes around each year. I am val- ued too highly to be vften used on oth- er occasions, but on Memorial day the honor due me causes me to be used in preference to any other instrument. “The day stirs up many a reminis- cence of old war times, and those were times to try men’s souls. The heart of a bugle can be stirred more than it is given ocredit for. Well do I remember when I was so proud to be given to my owner, who has always tenderly cared for me. There is a bond of sympathy between us made of experience in many hours of mutuel danger and mutual devetion to duty. “In my youth I found enjoyment in calling the soldiers to their daily tasks, and at night sent them to their well- earned rest. No sweeter tones could be uttered than I blew to call them from slumber, and, fair or foul, they faithfully responded to my bidding. No more loving good-night could their mothers at home have given than I tried to express when the hour came for that signal. When in camp during a lull In the strife, many an hour have I been used for their enjoyment, and how I loved the old camp songs which the mea s0 frequently sang to my leadership. They did not know what pleasure I took in those dear old songs, but my heart was full to overflowing when I felt the lips of my master send- ing the warm breath of life through my frame, and his fingers directing me to express myself in those mellow tones, while the men thought of the dear ones at home, as they sang in happy chorus. ‘Not that it was all pleasure. My saddest times were when I was called upon to sound the farewell over the grave of some brave man, whose ca- reer was brought to an untimely end. and wounded to care for, and often I was obliged to witness much suffering, and well 1 knew that for those poor fellows there would be no more bugls blasts, and that their loved ones would be overwhelmed with mourning. How I wished I could comfort them! If they only knew the feelings of my soul, they would have realized that even a bugle could sympathize with them in their sorrow. Far away in New HEngland or still farther away in the west many a lad, now living in middle life, must be able to recall what I dia for him in his camp life, and I am happy to feel that a tie still exists between us. Once I was lost for a time, and how miserable a lot was mine. A mys- tery still involves my career @durin: that period. Could I talk freely. how gladly would I tell all that occurred during my captivicy. Captured by some enemy or mischietmaker, I found out what imprisonment must have been to our brave men of fifty years ago. I've often heard them tell of thelr sufferings and attempts at es- cape, and as I lay cast aside and ne- glected, my greatest misery was that I was banished from the companion- ship of my master, and I know he mourned for me, and often wondered as to my whereabouts. At 1ast I was recovered, and no one knows to this day how I came from my hiding-place. I could tell, but oa such topics my notes are mute. How glad I was to be restored to my own- er! How delighted he seemed to re- cover me! Tenderly he handled me, and there were tears in his eyes, and a tremor in his voice, as he realized that his old friend was once more in his keeping. Yes, I would tell, if I could, of neglect and loneliness beyond all words to express. What led my captors to restore me, I never knew. Perhaps the caprice that stole me SUNDAY MORNING TALKI CHIDLIKE MEN AND CHILDISH MEN. There are certain admirable char- acteristics of childhood that lend strength and beauty to any period of | life. Sincerity, for instance, Is a cardinal virtue and it is a distinctive virtue of the cnild. A man is mor- ally sound In proportion as he carries the same spirit into his later career. | The simplicity of normal child- | hood, its purity and single-hearted- and lack of fear are attractive virtues. And the adult who lacks them has reached no worthy ideal. There are grown men and women from immature in mind or in knowl- | edge, they are yet as children in their | sincere and wholesome outlook upon | life. In their presence you would no more speak cynically or impurely than in the presence of the smiling little lad or lassie who runs down the path to meet you at nightfall. Of this sort are they who make the kingdom of heaven. Tt is high pralse to say of an adult that he is childlike. But is near to condemnation to say that he is child- ish. One word connotes the virtues of vouth and the other its faults. Childish men are generally short- sighted. Master Tommy Is apt to mistake little things for great ones. He had rather have a pepermint now than a landed estate in the fu- ture. And when Tommy grows up he is apt to keep on making the same Iind of error. Men barter time, health, wealth, honor even for what is not worth while. All about us grown peo- ple are making these silly, childish bargains. The childish man is generally obsti- nate. He will not listen to reasona- ble persuasions. He wants his own way merely because it is his own way. He would sacrifice almost anything rather than not carry his point. Lit- tle Jimmie refuses to play store unless he can sit behind the counter. Later on he won't come in with his fellows on any good movement in the town or nation unless they do it his way. Like sulking Achilles in his tent, he merely growls his disapproval and re- fuses to work. Petulance is scometimes amusing in little tots but is generally disgusting in those who were children 50 years ago. We have a right to expect more of people who have lived longer and had a chance to learn more. People sometimes long for the happy, untroubled years of bovhood or girlhood. They want to experience again the old freedom from care and the old simplicity of faith. Men sing, Backward, turn backward, O Time in thy Alght, me a child again just night.
