Excerpt from Tales From Tokio
These tales came over the Pacific from Tokio some years ago with the Talesman and landed in the beautiful city of Tacoma, which the townsfolk call the City of Destiny.
Both Tales and Talesman liked the Town but their destiny lay not there; for the Town had small need of Tales such as the Talesman told, being busy with Tall Trees, Railroads and Real Estate. Therefore the Talesman detaching the moss from his MSS. journeyed eastward and found a kindly audience in the Greater City of New York. He makes acknowledgement gratefully to the New York Press and to the Evening Post for courteous permission to reprint such of the Tales as have appeared therein.
