But we believe they have con: profited by their experience, and that tirn county will give Jones an overwhelm- Cha ing majority this year. Bos 25, Every candidate who comes here and next Saturday is entitled to a quiet, fact respectful hearing, so long as he con- ba(j ducts himself in a decent manner, j and in case any speaker should so far rest forget himself as not to observe the beil proprieties of the occasion, you can he be assured he wTll be called down at once by the county chairman. But ^ let us have no interruption of the cjjaspeakers or any howling down tac- be , tics. There is no use to get hot over politics and fall out with your neigh- V bor if he does not agree with you. ami We all have to live here together, no of x matter whether Jones or Blease is plac elected, and there is no reason why livii you should wound a friend for the ligfc sake of any candidate. Of course we is t differ, but that is to be expected. Too Some favor Jones and some favor priv Blease, and it is their right and we privilege to do so. Let's remember ed that every man has a right to his The ' opinion, and so long as he gives the plac other fellow a right to his, it is all bod right. or ( ?; rest Forty Lives Lost.

John Smith Tale. b- A party of Formosan aboriginals m of Taiyaru tribe, 53 in number, arre rived at Moji on the 26th instant, on n- a pleasure tour through Japan under lg the guidance of a Japanese police inry spector from Formosa. They left Moji e. for Kobe on the same day at noon en )6 route for Tokyo. Among these toures ists there is a young woman named te Yayutsu, to whom a romantic hisis tcry attaches. The story is wired to is the Tokyo papers from Moji and a reads as follows: \ o- Yayutsu is thirty years old and is ty exceedingly clever. She is a pupil at tit a school in Formosa and is well skillnt ed in sewing, reading and writing, r. She speaks Japanese fluently, and is versed in the tea cermony, flower ara rangement and other womanly ace complishments. Many years ago one ie Nakano, a chemical merchant of :e Kyoto, crossed over to Formosa on ? v.?nnrino' Viic ctav in TTnr it; uusiucso. uui 1U5 UI?J *** a. w ie mosa Mr. Nakano often ventured inid to the depths of the forests in quest ie of chemical plants, and one day he m was caught by the savages, put under m arrest and taken to the house of the ie savage chieftain. A conference was at held between the chief and his folr. lowers to determine howr the Japanin ese captive should be treated, and their verdict was that he should be 11 put to death. id Yayutsu was a daughter of the w chieftain and was then in her sixto teenth year. She conceived a proa found pity for the prisoner, and is earnestly interceded her father for t- his release. The father was not to it be prevailed upon. He would, he <e said, lose face with his clan if he id should allow paternal affection to inis terfere with the decision of the tribal j conference. The girl was, however, determined to rescue Nakano and tearfully supplicated 'her father to lm set the victim free. The savage chief was so deeply touched by the tender appeals of his beloved daughter that U he finally suggested that he should is renounce her as his daughter so that s_ he might incur no responsibility for ie her conduct even if she were to elope ie with the prisoner. T.he daughter seiz0 ed the chance offered her and exl(j pressed her resolve never to return ^ home, though she were deserted by ls the man she loved, unless indeed she came home with his scalp. Yayutsu r_ and Nakano fled under cover of night n to a Japanese settlement, were married, and have ever since lived hapa pily together, Mr. Nakano pursuing n his trade in Formosa. n A short time ago Mr. Nakano was 2i taken ill and came to Japan for, tl?e r sake of his health, leaving his wife in Formosa. Yayutsu recently wrote a letter to her husband requesting his permission to visit Japan, so that k she might rejoin him and see the s sights of Nippon. Mr. Nakano cheer- i 1_ fully assented to her request, and so n she is now in Japan on her way to 1_ visit her hushand.?Japan Admirer, j e ! Some Advice to the Farmer. Le , , i if I would like to make a few sug1 gestions to the farmer as to how hie s. can help in big and little ways to ;n make his wife, as she ought to be, the y- happiest and best contented woman g on earth. r- If there is a telephone line in )f reach of you, have a 'phone put in ie your house. If there is none, get to>e gether with your neighbors and build ie one. It will pay you as well as give :o pleasure to your family. *e Get to work on good reads in your n community, if you haven't them ali ready. Then get a gentle horse your t-c wif*> ran drive and see that it is at VfcJ " ? d. her disposal at least once a week. >d Get a buggy for her to ride in instead it of having to use the old heavy farm pr wagon. 1- Subscribe for one or two good mag.1. azines for her. i- Make her your business partner ps and consult with her about every.11 thing. The chances are she has just ?n as much sense and business judgip ment as you have and she may have it more. ie And remember that anything you of can do to increase your wife's health to and happiness will increase your own ie and that of the whole family.?Mrs. ?n Lillian Brooks Gatlin,. in Progressive re Farmer.
