ROTHSCHILDS OF THE EAST
Mitsui Family of Japan Is Famous for
Unsullied Honor of Their
Name.
The Mitsui family of Japan have
been called the Rothschilds of the
East; but while the fame of the lat
ter has gone abroad over the world,
’ says the Atlantic Monthly, the Mit
suis have remained practically un
known except to a few western mer
chants who have had extensive deal
ings with the Orient.
The European family’ owes its great
renown to the fact that for a century
there has been no slightest stain up
on its commercial honor. But its ca
reer, it should be remembered, has
been passed in a world where busi
ness itself has been held in honor;
while the Mitsuis, engaged in a pur
suit utterly condemned by public sen
timent, for three centuries, in spite of
the demoralizing influence of the so
cial ban, have been trusted by govern
ment and people alike and have kept
the honor of their name unstained.
Now, thanks to the new spirit ani
mating the nation, they no longer
stand so conspicuously alone.
Other great commercial families are
being ranged with this one. their mem
bers not only enrolled among the
peers of the realm, but ranking with
the merchant princes of the west as
exponents of all that is honorable in
the conduct of mercantile affairs. To
their number are yearly being added
many of the Samirai, or nightly chiv
alry of old. who once scorned all con
tact with trade, but who are now re
turning to bring to the rescue of their
country’ the fine sense of honor in
which thfy were educated under the
ancient regime. That they will even
tually succeed in their task, backed
as they are by the instinct of common
horcsty pervading the rank and file,
there can be no manner of doubt
PIGEONS ON A JAMBOREE
Drink Liquor Spilled in the Street and
Gave Real Exhibition of
Drunkenness.
A heavy truck loaded high with
kegs of liquor was jolting across a
line of downtown car tracks when one
of the kegs toppled and fell from the
top of the pile into the street. It
was thoroughly smashed, so the truck
man whipped up his team and went
his way without stopping. Tjie rum
flowed out over the street —one little
djent in the paving collecting a visible
puddle of it.
In a few minutes a pigeon came flut
tering down to drink at the pool thus
fortunately provided for thirsty birds.
The initial taste was a surprise, but
a second and a third soon followed,
and soon the pigeon tottered flutter
ing away, too overcome to fly. Other
birds, seeing him there and anxious
to wet their parching throats on so
sultry a day, followed their brother in
his path of wicked intemperance.
Five minutes later a passerby was
astonished to see a dozen pigeons in
the gutter of the otherwise deserted
street, some dancing drunkenly. others
already sound asleep. A few feet
away a hound of disreputable appear
ance was creeping up, slowly and a
trifle unsteadily, on his unsuspecting
and bibulous quarry. As he was al
most among the birds his feet went
suddenly in several directions and
he lay in the gutter among the pig
eons, growling sleepily to himself, for
he, too, was drunk.
Harmless Fad.
1 suppose In these ragtime days you
sell very little classical music?”
