PATRIOTISM NOT ALL DEAD
Shown by Conduct of Visitors to the
Liberty Ball at St. Louis
World's Fair.
"I ran across a striking object lessor
the other day that taught mo patriotism
wasn't dead in the land by a good deal."
remarked D. R. Hughes, an attorney, ac-
cording to a Macon (Mo.) report. "My
wife and I were going through the Penn-
sylvania building at the world's fair.
"We approached the grating sur-
rounding the Liberty Bell, and at the
same time we instinctively reached our
hands through and touched it. We
smiled and stepped back for others.
"Ninety-nine out 100 persofis whe
went to the bell reached through and
touched it. It wasn't a careless, indif-
ferent sort of a touch, but more in the
way of a caress.
"Many men removed their cigars and
uncovered their heads as they ap-
proached. An old lady went up while
we were tjiere and gently laid her
Wrinkled hand upon he time-worn sur-
face.
" 'God btesst you. dear old bell.' she
said, 'this is the fourih time I have
touched you to-day. but now I must
leave you. Good-by.'
"No one laughed at her, for the
simple reason that the crowd surround-
ing the bell felt a good deal as she did
about it.
"We stood there for half an hour jusl
to see the Impression the bell created on
those viewing it for the first time
There were many other curious and in-
teresting objects there, but you rarely
saw people reach over and shake hands
with them as they did with the bell thai
.rang out when the Continental Congress
declared the independence of the
^United Stateu 'way l ack yonder over 5
century and a quarter ago."

Africa with a now food preservative, ;i
sort of jelly. Sausages, any preserved j
neat, or butter is dipped in'this mc;terl

Brave j'ap Fishermen.
The Japs as a race arc fearless. This is
jvidenced by the hazardous occupation
nf the little brown men who earn a living
far from the rock coast lines of th«
Island. One of the chief articles of diet
in Japan is fish. To secure it for the

iana in their tiny craft, which to those
who do not understand their strength
and buoyancy look as though an ordi-
nary wave would capsize them. These
Japanese go 200 and 300 miles at sea to
catch fish. Each year the shores of the
islands are strewn with wreckage from
the boats, while the sea gives up the
bodies of the brave men who were caught
in the fearful typhoons which sweep
iround this corner of the earth. Then,
again, the ocean liners take the lives of
many of these doughty Japanese. Thero
