WHEN TOGO WAS YOUNG.
Example of the Japanese Admiral’*
Alertness of Mind Given in
Boyhood Days.
A retired English naval officer, who
when a lad, was on board the training
ship Worcester, at the same time ns the
future Japanese Admiral Togo, accord
ing to the Rochester Herald, tells the
following reminiscences:
“Togo was constantly the victim of all
manner of chaff from the young British
ers on board, who called him ’One-go
two-go-three-go.’ Disliked at first,
perhaps because he was unlike his
mates, he grew in popularity on account
of his remarkably alert mind and agile
body, until at length he became a gen
eral favorite with officers and boys.
“He stood all chaff with a certain
amount of bravado, unless It touched
on his resemblance to the Chinese, to
one fellow sailor who dubbed him a
Chinaman, he said, with emphasis:
'When l am ‘‘the” admiral, I hang you
to the yardarm.’
“One day Togo had his leave stopped
for some small offense. ‘Liberty boy*
to go ashore,* was piped, and the boy#
went up to him and said: 'Areyou to go?'
’No,’ he replied. Immediately the young
sters got around him and pinched him,
for telling lies, shouting at the sam#
time: ‘You are Togo.’
‘‘His praeuomeu being r&ther difficult
to pronounce, Togo was told by one of
the boys to shoot his godfather and godt
mother on his return home. ‘We do not
■hoot gods In Japan,’ was hla reply.”
Hade Soup of Congressman’s Bean*.
Representative Mahon, of Pennsyl*
j vanla. Is laughing over a letter Just re
ceived from a nice old lady residing la
| his congressional district. He sent a
package of beans secured from hi*
Quota at the agricultural department to
this lady, thinking she would like to
plant them In her garden.
In replying, the lady addressed th#
Pennsylvanian, whose name was writ
ten indistinctly on the frank, as "‘Mr.
Mackln " She said: “Those were #plen*
did beans you sent me. I eooked them
for dinner and they made the finest
soup I ever tasted. Thank you ever #c
much.”—Washington Post

This is not only the shortest way
by many miles, but is also the
scenic route, passing through
some of the most charming scene
ry in the world.
The low rates made by the
Union Pacific to Portland this
summer offer the people of the
East and Middle West an oppor
tunity to visit the Pacific North
west and see what a great coun
try lies west of the Rocky Moun
tains. It is a chance of a life
time.
There is also an opportunity en
