It is stated that no man living has
ever yet seen London as it really to.
There are a dozen L ndons, one of
which—the county—is controlled by
4,3c0 popularly elected men and wom-
en who sit on 144 public bodies. The
biggest Londen cf nil is the police Lon-
don. covering 602 square miles. The
smallest is the city of London, extend-
ing to one square mile. When one
speaks of London it is necens’ty to in-
eert an adjective to describe to which
London reference is made. Here are
the Loudons with their areas aa known
to the law:
City of London, one square mile.
County of London, 115 square miles.
Water London, 337 squaremiles.
Postal London, 220 square miles.

Then there was an envelop” from
li. r. on the back of which he had com-
i posed a fragment of verse. It began:
; Thou art so dear to me. my love-
I So dear and, oh, so necessary!
Claxton remembered that she had
prized the poem above anything else
he had given her. "It is so tine to be
thought necessary.’ " she had said.
In this manner he progressed through
five of the nine packages. Each let-
ter seemed more desirable than the
rest, and every moment made a selec-
tion less easy. This scrawl was a re-
assurance which she had penciled_on
the leaf of her program at the thea-
ter: that sheet of blue paper bore the

plot when I told it to him last week."
"Virginia." he had remonstrated, “It
was like offering me charity."
"Nonsenset I shouldn't have thought

a story for you that you might have
written yourself if you had taken

“Taken time!" Good Lord, how much

with her then, and he hadn't begun
selling whatever he wrote either. "Ne-

sured him.
For twenty minutes Claxton sat si-
tentty on his chair island in the middle
of a sea of letters. His fingers clung
to the rejected manuscript, but his
avas looked beyond it into the past.
AH the half forgotten history of his
love for Virginia Carter had been re-

At the bottom of the fifth bundle
was a long envelope with the name of
a publishing company on itsmpper left
hand corner. The postmark was over
two years old. "Rejected manuseript,"
Claxton concluded, tossing it to one
aid..... ntemptuously. That had come
back in the days when rejected man
useripts had not been half so rare as
good dinners or money with which to
pay rent. Something approaching cu-
riosity made him pick up the envelope
again and draw the contents from its
month. The story that lay before him
was headed, “From Frank Claxton,
211 West Twenty-first street," but the
type unmistakably belonged to the ma-
chine which still remained a fixture

humor. "Parsons been here this even-

"No, sir," replied the man. “He does

I believe."
Claxton cursed Parsons from the bot-
tom of his soul.
"Graham?” he asked.
“Mr. Graham was in about * week
ago. We don’t see him more than once
a fortnight."
“Funny,” mused Claxton. “By George.

“Stop a bit old chop. I want to read
you a line I'm sending to a friend of

Claxton tore himself away and went
back home. What was Misa Carter
doing? He would have wagered a
hundred that Fieips had called and
taken her out. Confound Fhelps!

Limited Financial Resources of the Is-

Japan, which has at so many points
modeled its finances after those of
the United States, nas followed the
American example. This country pays
its public debts. Europe does not.
The United States has paid over $2,-
000,000,000 of debts since the war.
Japan began with the determination
to pay off its national debt. The Jap-
anese debt was reduced between the
Chinese and Russian wars. This
greatly aided Japan in raising money
when the later struggle required larger
issues of bonds. A year ago Japanese
bonds, 5 per cent, were at 81. They
are now 92. No one expected when
the English and Japanese alliance was
formed, nearly ten years ago, that Jap-
anese bonds would be ten points above
consols, even if the former had the
higher interest.
For a number of years Japan has
devoted $25,000,000 to debt redemption,
a very large sum considering its rev-
enue. But the berden proved too
great. Japan is a poor country. Taxa-
tion is heavier than in any civilized
state in proportion to wealth, except
possibly Italy. Military and naval ex
l onuses are growing Payments on the
national debt ar” to ire ubandoned.

Inevitabie erect on the position of

countries. It has not the same re-
sources.—Ph i l a d el pli la Press.
