ECHOES FROM THE WAR

From time to time tntereetin* Inatlent* have been broucbt oul by the Ituaao-Jnpaneee wmr. Here are a few of them: Yooeicbel EikSo. \v!.<)'«• finit nntue menim ••our icrttln of rice.*' hue luuCaUheJ in one of tlie Tokyo clvU jiriaoua alntv four yean «ru. when bo killed a tunn at kibgata. aaya 5VU1 Levlngtou Comfort, the Tokyo corre•potuleat of the ilttaburg Dlapatrh.

The Ideas of wu upset ibis pur|>ose. He gave the warden Uta money'to turn Into tbe war fund. Tbe prison officer accepted the amount'attd carrted.it in person to the war office Endo’s piltr waa refused. A convict la one frotfi whom tbe govera in eat can accept no farora. Tte prison warden was distressed at the thought of returning the feoney to tiie prisoner, hut there was no other way. “Huy sake with 1L It will make the end easier," tbe warden advised. "I do not care about pain," I Endo. "but I would like to do my part toward beating Uussia since I cannot fight. Ulve the money to some soldier's wife and do not tell her whence It came leaf It be refused." Tbe warden obeyed. Moreover, be told the story to a reporter of on< the Japanese papers, who wrote four lines about 1L Perhaps he had a better conception of tbe story’s value than l. At least what be wrote was enough to make me call upon Endo at the Ichikawa prison on the day of bis execution. I found a trim .little man of twenty-seven, whose face was whitened by confinement, bot.,very good to look upon. Through an Interpreter I told End# that I thought be was a brick or Something similar and that be looked pretty dieerful for a man fumt abOnt to go oufc / * lie replied that the going ont matter IPas a njere bagatelle. Tbe thing U>at bothered him Was the means. He bad tbe Japanese hatred for hanging. He Invited me to stay and witness the proceeding, and the warden added a courteous pressure. * Sake .Is very good. It is more powerful than wine and less potent than whisky. It is also very cheap. Yon can bay a barrel of it for the price of a bottle of wine. Endo did not drink quite a barrel, but 1 was officially assured that be dropped Into Nirvana In high and proper spirits. A striking example of gallantry was shown by a stoker on board the cruiser Asama on March Q, says tbe New York Globe. While tbe Japanese squadron .was proceeding to Vladivostok one of the pipes of tbe cruiser connecting .with her machinery became clogged with ice. Tbe situation was a difficult one, as the sea was running high and tbe weather so severe that -tbe decks and sides of the vessel -were coated with lee. But In neither arm of the Japanese service is there ever any deanh of volunteers for an enterpriss Involving peril to life or Umb. Second Stoker Kelzabnro Miyazaki stepped forward and a moment later was slang overboard and quickly broke away the ice from the mouth of tbe pipe. Hardly bad he completed his chilly task than be was struck by a huge wave, which severed tbe rope and carried him away to an awful fate In those Icy northern waters. The Japanese papers are now full of heroics, aome of which ring with pathetic simplicity. Tbe following is an

I OPEN BOAT TRIP TO PANAMA

Kenzo Cmehart. a second clan engineer. was one of tbe desperate aeventysevra who sallied forth to block tbe entrance to Tort Arthur by sinking their ships. He has died of his wounds. His aged father, when be received the news of Us son’s death, addressed his faintly as follows: “Now, boys, your elder brother died an honorable death at tbs blockade of Port Arthur. His death .was for the asks of our country, so we must not weep, but rather it should make us proud. Huppooe that he should hear our sorrowful voice, certainly be would not be pleased; therefore you most not drop tears." After saying this he lit a small firs ahd burned Incense sticks to comm orate the brave aaltor’a death according to the Buddhist custom. All family followed him without tears, is harder not-to weep than to drop

Commander Artma, who took part In tbs first attempt to blockade S’ort Arthur. gave hia wife a novel keepsake os leaving bis bow* to Join his ship, file produced from hie pocket a small fiarcrl. and. smUng. said: "1 have

A Toledo (O.) man will undertake a trip of T,000 miles in an open boat, says the Toledo News-Bee. Tbe man of this quite extraordinary undertaking Is A. H tan ley Parker, who has bad exiwrlcnce in tbe past with similar expeditious on a smaller scale. Parker will start from Toledo early In June on hia long and perUous Journey by water to Panama. The trip will be from Toledo by the take robte to Chicago, thence through the Chicago drainage canal to tbe Illinois river, to the Mississippi, to tbe gulf, then the coast of Mexico will be skirted to the city of Panama< Parker’s destination. This trip will be made In no open boat rigged with a leg o’ mutton sail. The craft Is a fifteen footer and four feet beam, light, but very stanch and well adapted Jo this purpose. “My object In taking so light s boat." said Mr. Parker in speaking of bis undertaking. "Is to have a craft that 1 can beach myself, as I will be alone. I expect to sleep ashore most of the time and must have a boat that I can pull up on the beach without help. "1 will take along a tarpaulin so con strutted that I can convert It Into a tent This tent I will pitch anywhere on the beach or shore wherever I may be. I will take along a few clothes, cooking utensils and provisions. While In American territory I will not carry mneb provision because I can'stop In any city along the route and buy from time to time what I need. “At Galveatbn, which will be tbe last American city of Importance on my route, I expert to put In a supply of provisions that will last me until 1 get to Panama. I won’t need mneb. for along tbe gulf coast I can sustain life

“I expert it will take me at least a year; ■maybe longer. ' My object la to reach Panama about the time operations begin on tbe Interoceanlc canal. There Is no telling exactly when that will be, but I want to be on the ground

at the time.”

Mr. Parker Is well qualified for tbe Journey and its hardships. He has soldiered In tbe Philippine*, 'Toughed It" many times and once made a trip In a small open boat around the peninsula

MOUNTAIN AS A GIFT.

erasoJt Milllonslrr Will l^ttr Peak lato a PaMto Park. That at least one peak is- tbe majestic old Green mountain range will be preserved In Its natural grandeur, unharmed except by tbe band of time, la due to the generosity of Joseph Battell of Mlfldletoury. VL, says the Boston Globe. For many years lir. Battell has Interested hlmaelf In tbe preservation of tbe forests of his state, especially those upon -the slopes, and that tbe people may enjoy tbe charms whiofa nature provides so lavishly be has ported a peak, which be proposes to convert Into a park -for tbe benefit of tbe clttxens of Vermont. Towering high above tbe majority of its companions, Ellen mountain, as It has been christened by tbe owner, stands a silent sentinel 4£00 feet above tbe beautiful valley below. In which nestles the town of Warren. Tbe top. which comprises some 4,000 acres, gives one a panoramic view that cannot be eclipsed in New England. The mountain Is still very largely covered with forests and tbe upper portion of it with tbe original spruce. Mr. Battell intends to construct a massive steel tower and otherwise add to tbe comfort and convenience of tbe tourist by tbe building of suitable bridle paths. Mr. Battell devotes considerable energy to tbe study of tbe sciences. HI* wealth has been acquired largely by Inheritance, but his fortune has been Increased by bla large purchases of timber lands In Vermont, bla bolding* approximating 40X)00 acres.
