.The Peculiarity of 1
Japanese Patriotism
Ry Xot>n?l 1 ij^e Anienoniori.
mUK lovo oT one's fatherland is common to the natives of all countries,
but in Japanese patriotism there are certain things peculiar
to Uself.
uen wo consider Japanese patriotism we must never loso
sight of its great concomitant, loyalty to the Emperor. These
i wo pa-slons are so closely united to the breast of an ordinary
Japanese that he can hardly conceive of one without the other.
."When a Japanese sfly.^'T love my country." a groat or even the greater part
of his idea of his "c?urrtry"* is taken up by the Emperor and the imperlaf family.
11 is duty to tiiIt? country, as conceived by him. includes, tlrst of all. duty
to hi> Bmpt ror. Moremer, to him his country docs not mean simply a group
of islands with about fifty millions of peop'e living on them. His forefathers
and descendants are also taken into account. To him the past, present, and
futun generations ar? commingled into one. so that if we analyze the idea of
bis Ic uii. country, as understood by him. we ilnd it composed of the following
elcir.'-nts:
J The imperial ancestors.
The reigning Emperor.
The imperial family.
4 The imperial descendants. .
His own ancestors. >
His own family and relations.
7. His descendants.
S' L,is countrymen, tlieir families and their relations.
n. rneir ancestors.
1 Th< ir descendants.
I ' The extent of land or lands ocntpicd by his race.
Tie Japanese knows that his own ancestors servo 1 those of his Emperor.
Nay. iie knows that, if his own genealogy he traced to bygone ages it will he
found tnore or loss connected with that of the imperial household. In short.
Hie Japanese are members of one vast family with the Emperor as the head
and representative of its main stock. Tito Emperor is by birth the head of
the ntion. Neither he nor any of his ancestors came to the throne by ruse,
or violence. Suppose Abraham had founded an empire in Palestine?that 1iis
heirs ir an unbroken line ruled nvnr th? twelve tribes, themselves descendants
of Abraham, and that th? empire continued powerful to this day; suppore
1 liis. and you have an Idea somewhat similar to Phut of the Empire of
Japan?Atlantic Monthly.

p,? "l, IK idea of taxing cats is novel, though not new. The measure
^ I ^ I has been proposed and support d in the inter. st of the liirds. or.
rather, in the interest of those who love birds. It strikes one
MaKtmnJ at first as u.in.vos.sjry and somewhat quixotic. But a little exI^^Jl
perienre appears to warrant the idea if the person loves cats not
gGwQSjJ less, but birds more. On a place where many trees and bushes
save shelter to the birds there were two cats, one of theui beautifully
marked, both of them good hunters. Not a sparrow could perch near
the ground but one of the cats would creep up and catch it. If the sparrows
wen the only prey sought after by these cats the own, r of them would have
considered himself fortunate in their possession, but the fact is. they loved
bluebirds, robins, wrens and other beautiful birds better than sparrows. They
wmo evidently easier prey, too. So the two cats devoted themselves to hunting
song birds and birds of beautiful plumage which sought the lower trees
and bushes to build- rheir nests and rear their young.
The result was the birds were driven away. Much as the owner loved
his cats, he loved the birds more, and decided to get rid of the cats. Friends
In the village who wanted "house cats" were glad to get them. Wifhin two
weeks after ti e eats wtre gone the birds began to return. Bluebirds sought
their accustomed places, robins came anil built their nests in the shrubbery
and reared their young. The air became vocal wit's the glad songs of many
bird-. There has been no regret at the disposal of the iats. by the children
and young people of the home spoken of. because the birds have multiplied
and or- becoming tame. They sit on boughs where people pass and sing merrily.
to the pleasure of all.
Would it not be wise to tax cats in the interest of birds? As far as the
value of cats is concerned, to catch mice and rats, traps are far more effective,
and as pets. why. the songsters in the bushes and trees are of more value,
ever, though they cannot be taken in the hand and fondled And. again, birds

The discussion usually closed with the assertion: "One Cossack

This faith is based partly on the impression which the Cossacks made
upon western Europe as long ago as the Seven Years' War, and which was
heightened by their disorganization of Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. Napoleon

The north side of the reservoir which
k!r. :: ? feet high. tumbled over, falling
upon the home nut! barn of Martin V. !
Peoples. There were about SOO.OOO gal- j
Ions of water in the reservoir, and the j
mad stream rushed northeast to the |
Southern Hallway out, and thence to |
Polo's pond, a distance of a half mile.
Four tenement houses were washed

D. L. Payne, one of the injured, said '
he was awakened by the crash and
thought he was being swallowed by an
earthquake. "1 cannot describe my experience
while I was floating on tho
mad rushing stream of water," said Mr.
Payne after his removal to a house
near the place ho was found.
The Winston aldermen met at once
and made arrangements to bury the
i.ran ana rare i?>r the injured.
The Winston reservoir was built in
1 SSI. by a company composed of (50 citizens.
Ten years ago it and the entire
water plant was sold to the city. Soon
thereafter 10 feet was added to the
height of the reservoir, which was full

city has just had a large stand pipe
completed. It is full of water and the I
town is prepared to supply every de- |
Despite the early hour, the news of
time, and within :tfl minutes between
GOO and 1.000 people surrounded the
spot. An hour later the entire eitv was
aroused and excited. Before the extent
of the damage was known, and while
It was thought that perhaps the members
of the Peoples family were the
only ones who had lost their lives, cries
of distress were heard farther down
the street.
The thousands of gallons of water
that, flowed from the reservoir formed
a pond in the vicinity, and it was
thought that several people might have
been drowned in this. The city council
met and decided to drain the pond,
in order to recover any bodies that
might lie beneath the water.
The reservoir was situated about five
blocks from the center of the business
district of the city and was surrounded
by a number of residences and several
small stores, it is understood that
the structure ha:l been condemned, but
tl>e city authorities had failed to remove
it.

it was truly a horrible sight."
A NEORO'H STORY
A colored man. who lives near the
reservoir and who ruchod to the door
as soon as the crash was heard, had
this to say of the disaster:
"When 1 heard the noise 1 thought
at first it was an earthquake. 1 ran
to the door and looked up the street.
I can't tell exactly how It looked, for I
was scared too badly to ta'te notice.
It seemed aa if a big river was coming
ciown 1110 strict, farts of houses nnd
rubbish of nil kinds v/ere being carried
with it, and I saw several bodies holme
washed away. 1 was so badly scare 1
that it wa3 a long time before I found
out what was the matter. It was pitiful
to hear the groans of those who
were being swept away. I am not able
to tell anything else, for I had a hard
titne getting out of the way myself,"
he concluded excitedly and in a manner
to show that he had not recovered
from his fright.
