According to the Kobe Herald. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln rank even Admiral Togo as popular heroes in Japan. The Herald says that Dr. Yamakawa, formerly president of To kyo university, offered to present a pic ture of a famous man or woman to the Iriye primary school, Iliogo, and asked that a vote of the children be taken to choose the subject of the portrait. The d43 boys and girls of the school were asked to write down tbe name of their favorite great man or woman. Wash ington and Lincoln came out at the head of the list, with sixty-nine and fifty-three votes respectively, while To go came third with only twenty-eight, and Nlnomlya Sontoku, a famous an cient Japanese philanthropist, enrne next The filth man chosen was an other American, Benjamin Franklin, who received twenty-one votes. Then followed after him, with one exception, Florence Nightingale, four other Jap anese. then Admiral Nelson, then six Japanese, then Bismarck with five votes, two more Japanese and Napo leon with four votes. Among the scat tering were President Roosevelt. Gali lei. Columbus. Socrates and, strange to relate. Peter the Great and Admiral Makaroff of Russia. ■_ ^ ^ • a a * * »***•**».*••>• m m .aTaTa—A., a a Cherokee B.iL. Association Fourth Series Now Open. Stock Being Taken-Applications For Loans Filed.
