Feudal Baron or Samurai; of 1 Very High Rank Had to Dis-v - patch Himself.'. : Literally harakirl is 'belly cutting'" and this Is the expression in common use, . but kappuku, or, more usually seppuku is the word employed by persons of refinement, the actual meaning,.. however; being the same as harakiri, says Baron KuyemastU in Nineteenth Century. Suppuku and- kap puku are expressions coined from Chinese. Seppnku was not only a mode of self dis patch, but was prescribed as a form of cap ital punishment for all of samurai - rauk No samurai was ever to be .beheaded or hanged.-: - :-.-is. 'V ' -:.v Naturally under such conditions the act of 8eppukucame to be invested with) much formality, and cases in which the most . ela borate etiquette had to be strictly observed were those when a dairai-i.-e.t a feudal baron or samurai of pafticulariy high stand-' ing-was called upon by the proper autnor, ities to dispatch himself in this way in ; ex olation of some political roffense. A .spe cial oonnaissioner was then sent Jrom the proper quarters to. witness the due execu tion of the sentence.' and a kai-shaku-ufu Was choseii 10 " j.ssist the principal lidding himself of the burden of life. This person was selected by the condemned from i the" circle 4 ot his own immediate, relatives, frieiids or retainers, and -the - kai-sha-ku- iiit8 .office.' :wa9 au. honorable -, one, ircas much aa he was therebyprivileged to ren der a lait service to his comrade or chief. There was always a special apartment" or pavilion prepared in which the ceremony hail io take rjlace. a' particular dress, de- desitmed for use only on these melancholy occasions, had to be worn, and the dagger or short sword was invariably placed, be- fnre the scat of the condemned on a clean white trav" raised on legs, "termed sambo. wooden stand useclx for keeping sacrifices offered to the gods or for some similaf solemn purposes. The ctual cutting optm of the body ws not essential, a trifline in a horizontal lie six or seven inches or rarely in two lines cr.sing each other the more superficial the better, as proof of a light and skillful touch. being ordinarily made, followed by a deep cut in the throat. As a rule ho v eyer, immediately after making the incis on in the Abdomen the condemned mad( a slight movement of his disengaged eft hand and stretehed his neck forward as signs to the kai-shaku-nin to do his ofi ce, perceiving which, the latter, who stood by with his sworn ready poisea. instaiuy struck off his principal's head. In Japan there is no need to speak' di- rectly of either harakiri or seppuku, asj the euphemism ku sun-go-bu is often empUyed litemllv nine inches and a half, w inch was the proper lenght of the dagger t be used on these occasions. The weapon was always wrapped in some sheets of jbure while paper, only the extreme point b mg exposed, and it was correct to hold it heu making an incision in the right hand, not by the handle, but by the middle of) the paper wrapped blade. How to sit, how to bow to the spectators when about to c com mence the awful task, how to unfold rever ently the part of the clothing which covers the upper part of the body, how to wrap up the dager and how to make the requis ite 8lgtial.to the kai:shaku nin were all mat ters on which the utmost nicety was en joined and were part of the instruction which every samurai was obliged to receive from the master of -military ceremonies. Harakiri, indeed, was to the samurai a mat ter involving an appalling amount of cere mony. ( ; ; - the Dead Man to Blame ... . - - - i . . Spartanburg, S. C, Dec. 29. Deputy Coroner Holht held an inquest last night at Arlington over - the body of Geoage . Mc Alister. wlio was shot by Arthur Leister in the card room of the Appalache Cotton Mill yesterday afternoon. - Seven witnesses were examined and the concensus of their testimony shows that the dead min was advancing on Leister when the latter fired three times, the bullets producing the wounds which resulted in the death of Mc Alister. The trouble has its origih in the discharge of amembar of .McAlister'l family from the mill in whieh Leister was one of the inside bosses. Both men were at : their places of work when the tragi dy cjicurred. ' Que of the largest realty deals trisaCted here in some years-took place- today when the Mills property, on East Alain street, WAS sold to A. C. Cannon for the sum of $25,000. The purchaser immediately di vided the land into four tracts each, with the" exception 'of one which Mr. Ctennon retained r for himself, was immediately resold. - v v ' struction Was straining 'Children. In .Pro verbs 20:6," Solomon says: Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. This is as true today as it was in the days of Solomon. If a4 child is properly trained there is not .. much danger of it going astray when it be comes a. man or woman. On the other hand, the reason that so many boys and girls go wrong when they rleave home is because of the poor training which they received as children. " They may have received a good education and be proficient in music- and all the arts, but J if they have not received the training which has made them Christians, then they have not been trained In the way that they should go. Some will ask how this training is to be accomplished. In the, first place, if we want to teach anything it is necessary for us to know it ourselves. If we want our children to become Christians we mu9t first be come Christians ourselves. , . We cannot ask a child to do something wnich we do not do, and this is where a great many people make a mistake. They think that by sending their children to church and Sunday echool they are do ing all that is necessary for their proper training, while they themselves stay at home and read the newspaper, or per haps attend to their worldly duties.. You cannot do this. There are two ways of training or teaching one is by precept, and one by example, and these two go hand in hand. You can not teach by the first and' lea Ve out the last Many of the young people of our land are ruined by this very thing. Parents are anxious that their children should grow up to be good Christian men and women but they very often do not set the proper example. The father is anxious that his boy should not smoke or drink, yet he is not willing to give up these things' himself. He labors un der the' idea, that he can smoke his cigar and drink his glass occasionally and his boy neer know it, but remember this, 'Be sure your sin will find you out." - Mothers are anxious to have their daughters well trained, yet many times theexample set before them is anything bii what it should be. Some mothers 11 not allow their daughters to go to ball or party where there is dancing et they themselves will go to question- dj5 pjae.es. fnd think their.children do not know it. ' This :s not as it should be. "Be not deceived, whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap " There is another thing which is very harmful to the training of boys and girls on the farm. This is the long hours spent at work and the little time left for amuse ment.' While I believe in boys and girls learning to work, yet it is not a good thing to confine them to long hours and no holidays. I believe that the long hours and hard work which many boys and girls are compelled to do is doing more to send them from the farms into the towns than anything else. There i3 no reason why the hours on the farm should be' any longer than those in the shops, except perhaps a few weeks in harvest, and then there can be enough holidays given to offset this. Young people UOIiUU lla.o lU ud tuuuucu mnfth. and if thev ee that the farm is nnt.hinor hnt. a rjlace of druderery. they are going to get off of it and "go where they will have more time to tnemseives. Thflrfl is no reason whv the farm home cVirmlrl nnf, he the most pleasant one on earth, if the parents will only take more timo with their tamiiies, ana not leave their training to Sunday school and dis trict school teachers.

BRITISH As : CoQsidereO by the Monros Oociii. A NAVAL ALLIANCE PREMATURE. The Spectator Considers it Wholly Justifiable in View of Position ; of the United States. London, Dec 31.- The Spectator, com menting en a recent speech of Ex-Secretary of War Root, says that the speeches of a man who may in the near future be' president of the United States and who at any rate may be regarded as the inheritor of the Roosevelt tradition, (; are " always worthy of Great Britain's attention. After summarizing Mr. Root's utterances on the Monroe doctrine the Spectator says: "On his interpretation the doctrine must seem to be wholly justifiable to anybody reflect ing for a moment on the position of . the United States." The spectator emphasizes the point that. properly regarded, the doctrine is as much a principle of British as of American for eign policy, though Canada has shown a dislike to it when stated in the extreme form. It wishes for a formal diplomatic recognition of the doctrine in order to pre vent an undue extension thereof in hands less wise than those of President Roosevelt aad to secure the consent Of Europe to what is a guarantee of tranquility. It thinks the United States should embody the provisions of the doctrine in a diplo matic note to the powers, which would undoubtedly be accepted by Great Britain, and it considers the time peculiarly suita ble for such action. ', ' The Spectator concludes its article with a reference to the recent editorial in the New York Sun on a naval alliance between Great Britain' and the United States, say ing that the Sun in the past .has not been remarkable tor any Anglo-phili tendencies, It welcomcs the Snn's proposal as a sincere that the interests w bdm liaflons ave close- ly allied, but decides that the . proposal is premature. It says that if the United States wants to secure the world's acquies cence to the Monroe doctrine she must show herself a3 a great naval power abso lutely and not merely in an alliance. She must show herself fit for police duties. otherwise her claims will not be respected. Some day a defensive alliance may po sible and desirable for both countries. Meantime race feeling is as strong as any formal alliance. The Spectator believes that in any serious war with a European coalition Great Britain would be found on the side of the United States. . - - ' . AMBUSHED IN PHILIPPINES Lieutenant Abbott and 37 Native Scouts Slain on the Island of Samar. . , Manila, Dec. 23? The Pulanes haye am bushed and killed at Dolores, on the island of Samar, a lieutenant and 37 enlisted men of the Thirty-eighth Company of native scouts. Two thousand Pulajnes, it is re ported, threatened the town of, Dolores. Lieutenant s Abbott; .in command of the scouts, has requested that aid be sent him. Washingtoa, Dec. First Lieutenant George F. Abbott, who commands the Thirty-eight Company of Philippine Scouts, which was ambushed by natives at Dolores, Samar and one lieutenant and 37 enlisted men killed, was a corporal m the Ninth United States Infantry in the .fight at Tien; Tain, China, during the Boxer troubles. Officers ia Washington familiar with his record say that he distinguished himself in that engagement by seizing the colors when the color bearer fell and hold ing them in the line. : Mo advices regard ing the ambuscade have yet reached; the War Department, A Beautiful-Sermon. A preacher in Kansas the' other day delivered a brief but ' very beautiful funeral sermon. Here it is: "A word to you all. Post mortem praises are in the air. People stoop to kiss their dead who never stoop to kiss their living; they hover over open caskets in hyster ic sobs but fail to throw their arms around their loved ones who are ; fight ing the stern battles of life A word of cheer to the struggling soul in life is worth more than the roses of - Christen dom piled" high on casket covers. The dead cannot smell the flowers, but the living can; scatter them broadcast in their pathway, therefore," and pluck out the thorns before it is too late." THEiEMPTY STOCKING.

' A few days sgo this little 'poem in be half Of the little ones came out in a St. :--Louis paper,and the appeal the writer made ; for children whose parent were unable to contribute as much as a toy to gladden their simple lives was touching indeed. There also appeared a cut representing a little girl who had Just awakened from a -slumber of beautiful dreams of fairyland in which all was candy and dolls and ' play things, to search with childish eagerness' and hopes her stocking, and found it emp- tjl' ; V.Y: "s:;V:;yT YV-JV ; YY. Such disappointment; such grief, such sadness and such blighted hopes none of . us know who never experienced it. No where in this broad land, where prosperity beams from every honorable ; industry, where comparatively few people are out of employment and where abundant harvests are bringing good returns, should a single child know the sorrows of an empty stock ing on this approaching Christmastide. - .There are, no doubt,; children living in poor to pToy ide ; t he actual -necessities V o t life, and not a cent can they, contribute to luxuries. In . that . ase their duties are shifted to us We owe it "to ' them. Can you adjust the matter in a way that you feel exactly right if a little boy or girl has to go another year without a wagon or doll just because its parents "couldn't possibly afford the price? ' It is ;an honorable and honest debt and we ought to pay it. That crime which comes from poverty is largely due to the craving for something beautiful, and if it in denied from year to year, the desire becomes a ruling passion and theft is the natural result. , .Somebody once said that boys and girls pretty bad sometimes, but that they were , were the nly material but of which we can make men and womenY Any toy that furnishes harmless amusement will aid a new soul to grow beautiful, and after all the price of prosperity r Is charity to the poor, especially that charity which helps a child to spend its'time as it should spend it. It pays society to be good to children that they may grow up to be polite men and sweet wemen, full of high ideals and noble sentiment. But the greatest .. profit is the simple unaffected joy of the child when it receives a gift from the saint of all child ren, toys wrapped in the mystic spirit of -Christmas.. And even if it is denied us to see and hear the expression of the remem bered child's joy.the consicousness that we have prevented such sorrow as is told in rhyme above ought to be profit enough' lot. any man.. .
