A Japanese War Song

and Bailors to this country to take charge
of the cruiser Kasagi, built by the Cramps,
they taught one of the Japanese war songs
to their American acquaintances. Hers la
bow the Japanese version ran in part;
Tenshin Joyaku'hakal hashl
Toyo heiwa no gtwo shlranu,
Mumal ganko no chan-chan ga,
tturel klwamaru furumaiwa.
Bet phi yakuwan kogal hifun,
Nippon danshlno udemalde.
Yuban no gume o yaburanto.
Translated the song Is as follows:
"The Tientsin treaty has been broken.
The extremely discourteous conduct of the
barbarous and stubborn Chinese, falling to
recognize the value of peace in the east,
causes teeth to be set and arms folded,
while public sentiment la sorrowful and
angry. 3
"To break this dream of barbarism by
the power of the Japanese soldiery, our
reinforcements are continually advancing,
with flags floating bravely.
"Both In the desperate battle of the Gulf
of Pechlll and In an attack on the province
Of Selklo, we displayed the national prowess
by slaughtering the Chinese fighting against
our country.
"We are marching through a country In
which the scorching heat blisters the flesh.
We axe passing through fire and water,
bat WD do not care. The enemy's projec
tiles) comes like hail. The corpses are piled
mountain high at Heljo. Blood discolors
the waters of Wel-hai-wel, but our soldiers,
never retreating an inch, easily capture
the Chinese fort.
"Grasping 400 provinces with one hand
and planting the flag of the Rising Sua on
the castle of Peking let us return in
triumph. For you are to be an example

death was a 'iiustlon of only a few hours
at most.
But Barlow did not die. His wffe came

Many years passed, until one night both

"Are you any relation to the General

Barlow, with a laugh. "I am the very
man who was killed. But f have been In
formed that a man named Gordon lost his
life in battle later on. He saved my life at
Gettysburg. Are you any kin to that
man?"
"I am he," was the reply.

other a heartier handshake. Pittsburg Dis

"My husband," complains the wife, "Is so
Puritanical! He doc not believe in theaters,
dancing, curd playing, clulm or uny of the
modern forms of umusement."
"Indeed?" murmurs the confidant. "But
(soothingly) you should remember thut you
took him for better or worse."
"I know; and I can't help thinking how
much better it woyld be if he were worse."
