Presently came the landlord, who had heard the news. This was a good land- {lord, actuated by a genuine patriotism | that made him immensely popular with | the audience. He assured the sad- | hearted wife that she need not worry. | While the soldier was away there | should be no rent demanded for the ! house. The soldier and his wife strove to conceal their feelings from the land- | lord, and the scene became quite cheer- | ful again. This was Bushido. My | friend sat up and replied to the long | unanswered question. { "It is quite true,” he said. “The old | custom does not permit one to betray his emotion in the presence of strang- | ers, or even of his friends, but in the | home it is different. There one may | be natural without being impolite.” ' Then came in three friends of the | soldier, full of excitement at his going, | congratulating him on the opportunity | to fight for his country and the Em- | peror, and all protesting their own de- | sire to go. They brought a supper and | soon had it spread out. Their en- | thusiasm was so infectious that no | trace of sadness could linger in the room. The supper was Very appro- priate. First there was raw fish, the fish called katsuo, which is the word that means victory. Then there was buckwheat, seiro, which the audience promptly interpreted, sei being to fight with and ro the first part of the Jap- anese name for the Russians. This was eaten with chopsticks—nihon- | nohashi—and Nihon is the name of | Japan. Japan, therefore, was swallowing up the Russians in victory, and the pala- table meal was washed own by the wine called Masanume. Masanume was the most famous swordsmith of Japan’s feudal days—so famous that he gave his name to the weapon he made, and now Masanume means sword | throughout Japan. FROM LAUGHTER TO TEARS. In an instant all this laughter and | high spirits was changed, even to In Their Homes and tears again. soldier leaped to his feet to respond. There was scarcely time to embrace his wife and he was dashing away, cheered on by his friends, when the boy ran to him and clasping his legs, besought him not to go. The mother was too overcome to speak, and the friends, trying to cheer, were furtively weeping again. The soldier thrust the boy away and ran off as the curtain fell. I looked at my friend and he was agaln weeping. That was the private soldier. The next scene showed a room in the house of a young lieutenant, who had already gone away. The wifé and her maid were talking. The maid, tearful and unhappy, was expressing her surprise that her mistress had shed not a tear, had exhibited no sign of unhappiness or of anxiety for the young officer to whom she had been married so short a time. She had not even gone to the station to say good-by, but instead had sent her old servant. The mistress simply fenced with the maid and made indirect response. While they were talking the, old servant returned from the station. Both women questioned him as to his parting with his master. “Did he weep?” asked the maid. “Was he well?” asked the wife. As the old man described the scenes about the station his emotion became stronger and stronger. At last he bowed his head and sobbed aloud. Still the young wife showed no sign of grief. Surprised at this, the old man lifted his head and asked her why. “It is not the way of the service,” she replled. “We have been very happy here and I would rather think of him as still sitting by my side.” The old man resumed his description of the scenes at the station and told how an old general who had been | crippled in the war with China and could not perform active service had cheered on the young master, and bid- den him have no care but for his coun- try and his honor. His mistress inter- rupted and asked if the master had any message. Yes, he had. It was addressed to him and was only an in- Jjunction to look well after his mistress. CERMANS ROUT - HERERO FORCE patches to the Lokal Anzeiger from a | correspondent in German Southwest | Africa describe the encounter of Major von Glasenapp's column and a force of Hereros at Oksharui on April 2, while the German column was on the way to attempted to surround and cut off the | rear guard of Major von Glasenapp's force, consisting of Fisher's company, | which was well armed and partly | mounted. The enemy opened a vigor- ous fire, but was repulsed after a | fight lasting three and a half hours, , the rear guard having been reinforced | by Count Brockdorff's company and | First Lieutenant Manshor's artillery. The enemy were pursued for an hour | but escaped, leaving fifty-two of their | number dead. In the meantime the head of the col- | umn, under Liber, had a sharp fight | lasting an hour. The German losses were: Lieutenant Noerr, four non-com- | missioned officers and twenty-eight pri- | vates killed, and Lieutenant Hilde- | brand, four non-commissioned officers and eleven men wounded. The artillery action was brilllant. The | Germans suffered from want of ser- | viceable horses, having only twenty- | one animals capable of scouting. The | enemy withdrew in a northeasterly di- | rection. Major von Glasenapp marched | on April 3 on Otikurara, intending to | make an attack. | —_—————————— WASHINGTON, April 9.—The Sénate Com- mittee on Public Lands has agreed to post- | pone until the next session of Congress the { bill to transfer control of the forest re- | serves from the Interior Department to the | foreetry division of the Agricultural Depart- ment. i ADVERTISEMENTS. Get the Spring Habit. Of all the good habits which people follow, no other is sup- ported by the same amount of sound sense, or pro- duces such beneficent results, as common HIGHER WAGES ARE 1N DENAND Men on the California and Union Street Lines Are Anxious. for an Advanece T, Following closely on the disturbed re- lations between the United Railroads and the Carmen’s Union, there has bebn circulated a story to the effect that the employes of the Union-street Cable Company and the California- street Cable Company are preparing to submit to their respective employers a demand for an increase of salary in keeping with that asked for by the union men on the lines of the United Railroads. It was stated yesterday that the de- mands would ‘be placed before the di- rectors of the Union and California street companies early during the com- ing week and that 1n all probability the men would join with the carmen of the United Railroads In their effort to ob- tain an advance in wages, and in the event of a strike on the latter roads they would go out with their fellow workers in the other company. Carmen on both the California and the Union street lines freely discussed their proposed demands for an increase yesterday, and it was stated by sev- eral employes of the former line that the demands would be presented to the companies in a few days. When Presi- dent Newhall of the Union-street line was asked about the report he admit- ted he was advised Friday afternoon of the purposed demand. “I was told by one of the operating officials of the road,” said he, “that the employes were preparing to make a de- mand for an increased wage schedule, but as yet we havé®heard nothing di- rect from the executive members of the union. Personally I have made no ef- fort to inquire into the matter.” Asked what the company would do in case of a demand being made, Mr. Newhall replied that he had a decided opinion in the matter, but was not in- clined to express it at this particular time. At the offices of General Manager Chapman of the United Railroads it was stated yesterday that no new de- velopments had arisen out of the com- pany’s troubles with the union, and that probably none would arise until after the conference to-morrow between Mr. Chapman and President Cornelius of the union. e ———————— TURCO-BULGARIAN PACT GRANTS REBELS AMNESTY the Spring Medicine Habit, for, after,all, good health is the great- est earthly blessing.

Then to relieve the strained feelings of the audience some comedy was in- troduced. The villain appeared in the shape of the father of the girl whom the lieutenant had jilted when he married the heroic young woman who refused to weep. The father had sworn to revenge his daughter's wounded pride. He had bought a note which the young lieutenant had signed as guar- antor for a friend. The friend had been called to the colors also, and being unable to pay, the holder of the note had come to demand his money from the lieutenant’'s wife. It was a very unpopular proceeding. The audience demanded vigorously that he be thrown out, or killed. Some wanted his head cut off. Others de- siged to have him strangled. Some asked to have his neck broken. But unmindful of jeers and taunts he steadily demanded his money. Finally the old seryant, whose tears had been dried, fell on him and smote him, hip and thigh, finally chucking him out of the house bodily. There was a first- rate fight, in the Japanese open handed style, and the old servant was getting the better of it, amid the vociferous plaudits of the audience, when the vil- lain’s daughter appeared and ran in to help her father. Thereupon the maid came out with a bowl of salt and began to throw it in liberal quantities on the jilted girl. Four or five soldiers came along the street just then and separated the combatants. The villain promptly be- gan to declaim to the officer who was in command of the men and to demand his money. He had not gone far when the old servant, who was panting with rage and exertion, and eager to %et at his man again, interrupted and ex- plained the true state of affairs. The result was a renewal of the scuffle, in which all the soldiers joined in pound- ing the villain with the unqualified and vigorous approval of the audience. But another officer appeared who pat a stop to the row, and the scene ended by his paying his brother officer’s debt, to the great disgust of the old servant+ and of the audience. IMPORTANCE OF THE LANDLORD. The next scene was a variation of the same old theme. This time the sol- dier was a sergeant, the only support of his mother, who was very ill, and his sister. Again the landlord appeared— he seems to play a very important part in the lives of the poorer class of Japanese. His son was madly in love with the sergeant’s sister, sQ madly that when she refuséd to marry him he{ many poles. At nearly every road furnished the comedy that enlivened the scene by repeatedly threatening to batter his brains out on the pump. The sergeant came to say good-by to his sister and was going to leave without seeing his mother, fearing that the parting would make her worse. But! she heard him and called him back. She was of the old Samurai stock and war had been the lot of her family for many generations. “I belong to a house that has been fed by the spear,” she said. It was her pride, not grief, that her son should be a soldier. Grief could come only threugh disgrace to his honor, and she bade him go and fight bravely for | his country. Promptly upon his going came the landlord, endeavoring to force the girl to marry his son through the old! means so well known to stage villains | all over the world, of demanding the money that was due. But the lovesick son would not submit to the employ- ment of such distressful means, and again threatened to destroy himself. The savior of the girl appeared in the shape of an officer of the Soldiers’ Re- lief Assoclation, who made the land- lord agree to cut the rent in two, and promised to see that the reduced sum was paid regularly. What became of | the lovesick son did not appear, for the | revolving stage swung around and there appeared a scene representing the landing of the Japanese troops— ten of them and six officers, all seasick —at Chemulpo. BATTLE SCENES. After that there were battle scenes of most extraordinary character for a long time, and when we finally came away, an amazing Russian, ambushed behind huge red whiskers, who had ! been taken priscner at Pingyang, was about to undergo trial for his life. So without plot, and with much repe- tition of incident, the play ran on. But the thing about it all that was of strik- ing interest was that the audience en- joyed and applauded and shared in a! revelation of intimately personal emo- tions on the stage such as not one of thym would have permitted himself to make save in the privacy of his own | home and before his own people. It| was a phase of Javanese life which can be seen only in the theater, and yet it was true. Its effect upon the patri- otic people in the audience was very marked. When in one of the battle scenes the Emperor's proclamation de- claring war was read it was heard in breathless silence and cheered to the echo. . The people all over the country have waked up at last from the trance-like | repression of the first few days after the war begap. Now down through the | country traversed by the railroads flags flutter constantly from every house, | and strings of streamers flaunt from DR. SHOOF’'S REMEDIES.

At every station there is always a crowd wailting which wildly cheers every train, whether it carries troops or not. I have seen a solitary man plodding along a country road drop his burden and fling up his arms, splitting his throat with “Bonzai” as a train rumbled past. Night before last the men of the first division were entrained for the front at the Shimbashi station, the main station of Tokio. It took nearly all night to get them away. The first reg- iment marched under my window about midnight. A chéering mob flocked along the street with and after them. Lan- terns waved and bobbed about, swing- ing from long bamboo poles, like a wild column of gigantic fireflies. At 2 o’clock another regiment passed, and again there was a cheering mob of patriots in attendance. A third regiment passed two hours later, and the number of those out to see them off was increased rather than diminished. 1 wonder if the demonstrative people at home would stay up all night to march to the station with outgeing troops? Rather, I think, there would be a howl in the newspapers to have the men de- part in the daytime.; But that would not be Bushido. ADVERTISEMENTS.
