LESSON FflOM MNCOO?ER INCIDENT
MO WIU UREE TO TREATY
Washington, D. C., Sept. 20? That a
' s'rlngent exclusion treat; between
America and Japsn la measurably near
?r realization than the mod optimistic
admiuUtratloo official could have be
lieved a few weeks sgo Is the judgment
of the meu>b?re of the diplomatic corps.
This long iou|hi object is expected to
be aitaiix-d perhaps as ao indir<ct re
sult of the mobbing of the Japanese at
Vancouver, B C., the 7th uf this
mouth.
OUtolals uere deplore whit the; view
as an unfortunate and unwarranted In
fraction of the treaty rig b s of the fsp
aaeee. but tbey do not fait to perceive
at once the important bearlog that this
incident will prdbably have upon the
negotiations between the state depart
ment and ttie Japanese am baasador look
ing to the drafting of a" treaty that
shall limit the incoming of Japanese
coolies instead of allowing the subject
to be dealt with, in the present loose j
fasbioa~by the undertaking on the part
of the Japanese government to with
hold passports to parties coming direct
ly to the United States.
The treat? no* in sight is based on
the conviction of officials that the Jap
anese government will now be brought
face to face -with the fact that as it can
not discriminate between Great Britain
x ' and America in the matter of demands
for fair treatment for its subjects, and
must by this time be convinced tbat the
problem presented is really a rjdlc.il
one. the only solution will lie in the
forma! recognition by J* pan of the
right to restrict coolie immigration,
not only in America but in British Co
lumbia, Austral is. and the other British
colonies
To taks any other view, it Is pointed
out here. wouUt mean a breach of the
alliance with Eegland, of which the
Japanese haT* bean to proud and which
they regard u 10 necessary to the de
ve'opment of their ambitious schemes
f >r the sxploitatlon of the East. For,
though the British government mar
aud doubtless wilj apologize for the
Vancouver affair and even pat ao in
demuity, a repetition of the Incident is
belieTed to oe almost certain, unless
the British government yielda to the
demands of the British Columbians In
the matter of restricting Japanese im
migration.
As a matter of f?ct n -got :at ions are
already afoot between the British and
l he Japanese governments to regulate
the Influx of coolie tabor into the Brit
ish co'oniea. The Vancouver incident
will, it Is believed here, hasten these
oegotlations to a conclusion, and If
Japan enters into treaty relations of
that kind with Great Britain it oannot
refuse to do so with Amenoa, to that
there Is, after all, prospect f-at Secre
tary Root and Ambassador Aoki will
soon again be in conference oa this sub

Sh? Wanted a Book.
A fashionably dressed young woman
tame hurrying Into a bookstore re
cently and approached a salesman with
; tbe statement: "1 want to get a book
It'* a red book? not very thick! No, I
don't know tbe name of It or wbat It
U about, because 1 baveu't read It. It
has a picture In tbe middle of the cover
?at leant I think It Is a picture? It Is
something round, done In gilt. It may
be the nam*. ?
"I wish you would hurry and bunt up
the book, because I am taking a train
to New York and I want It to read on
the trip. I saw souie o?e reading It
on the train the other day and laugh
Ing over It, and that's why I want It.
"Of course I am not expected to
know wbat It Is, bat I should think any
one wb? knew books and was handling
them all the time ought to know!
"No, I don't think It was eltlMr of
those books? It was .thicker than that
one and more on the cerise shade than
I that one.
"Well, I can't wait any longer for
you to hunt It up."
As tbe young woman passed out of
the shop she turued to her compaulon
and remarked audibly: "Strange how
stupid some of these clerks are! Well.
1 wasn't going to really get It anyway.
I Just wanted to tiud out wbat It was!"

Cakes snd Sausages In Gsrmany.
"Germany Is tbe lund of variety In
sausages aud cakes," said William
! George Bruce. "When I made my visit
to that country recently I took occa
sion to eat at restaurauts lu practical
ly every city 1 came to I am uot
stretching It a bit wheu I say that In
one restaurant lu Dresden there were
:200 varieties of sausages on the bill of
'are.
"The same holds good of cakes. Yon
?juter a restaurant or a bakery In which
^?offee is served. Tbe obliging waiter
will set before you a specially designed
cake bolder on which the several va
rieties are placed In convenient tiers,
that you pick out any kind yon
want without disarranging the whole.
"There Is another feature of restau
rant customs In Germany that struck
me as out of the ordinary. While per
haps a dozen cakes are set. before you
to choose from, yon only pay for the
exact number you eat. When you are
done with your luncheon the waiter
will count up what Is remaining and
charge you for the difference."? Mil

Incidental Music.
One afternoon a couple from an ad
Joining town presented themselves to
a Boston divine and asked to be mar
ried Just as he wasyabout to enter the
pulpit to conduct an afternoon service.
The minister replied that he regretted
that he could not at that moment com
ply with their wish, but that Immedi
ately upon the conclusion of the serv
ice he would take pleasure lu perform
ing the ceremony. The lovers, after
demurring, .seated themselves J a the
rear of the church. When the minister
had finished the service he made the
following announcement: "The parties
who are to be Joined lu matrimony will
present themselves at the chancel Im
mediately after the singing of hymu

Heaven!" "
A Rhyming Will.
Perhaps the most peculiar will ever
written was probated in England at
doctors' commons. July 17. 178J) It
ran as follows:
I give and bequeath.
When 1 am laid underneath.
To my two loving listers. moat dear.
The whole of my atore.
Were It twice a* much more.
Whloh God's goodness ha* granted me
here.
And that none may prevent
This my will and Intent.
Or occasion the leAst of law racket,
With a solemn appeal
I confirm, sign and seal
This the true act and deed of Will Jacket.

Paternal Duties.
I Modern life with Its haste and
I hustle leaves too little time for the
Joys of fatherhood. One father.comes
home late from busluess, tired and

other has had enough of the cares and
