The Hairy Ainu Are the Most Peculiar Ma
ton In the World.
Hokkaido is the name given by the
Japanese to the island of YeZo, with all
the smaller islands near its coast, to-
gether with the Kurilc group. Thus
the Holtkaido extends, roughly speak
ing, from Al TO 81 degrees latitude
north, and between 1879 and 157 degrees
longitude east of Greenwich. 1t is in
Yezo particularly that the large num-
Der of Ainu are found, while Il few live
in the islands of kunashiri, Etorofu and
Shikotan.
The Ainu are race of people whose
strange popularity is that they are COW
cred with hair all over the body, al
most as monkeys are. Their faces are
not quite so hirsute, though the hair
on the scalp begins to grow low on the
forehead, and the beard of the men be-
gins from right under the eyes. Their
eyebrows are thick and shaggy, and oc-
casionally they even have few coarse
hairs growing on the nose. The wom-
EN-, who are not supplied with such n
luxuriant growth of hair on their faces,
make up for the lack of 1T by tattooing
on their lips long mustache, which,
when completed, reaches from one ear
TO the other.
This, they think, gives them manly
appearance, and as manliness and hairi-
ness are the only two things the Ainu
are proud of, the women sometimes also
tattoo lines on the forehead and rough
geometrical patterns on their arms, all
of which are supposed to add to the
coveted air of yirility.
The Ainu have no literature, no
books, no writing, and hardly one in
dividual out of n hundred can count up
to five, even with the help of his fingers.
Their languages is extremely poor in
words, and as for rules or n grammar.
the Ainu never even dreamed of having
one.
Like all barbarians, the Ainu are eN-
trcmcly superstitious, and it was with

the ladder Is pointed so as TO be stuck

whole arrangement is anything but a

The Ainu go up and down these lad

on to another. At last he reached the
top, and, waving his hands, began to
walk on the rim. Suddenly his foot
slipped, and he disappeared inside the
jar.
a scream of terror broke from the
boys below, for they believed the water
god was angry ut being disturbed, and
had dragged him in.
But one of the number. whose name
| was Shiba Onko, cried boldly:
Let us break the jar, for only last
night heard my father say it was near
ly empty"
Again they were afraid, for would not
the chief gardener be very angry, and
| then, too, might not the dreaded water
| god devour them? So Onko said:
well, towards, run away and will
break the. JAR" and he seized large
rock and hurled it with all his strength.
1t broke in several pieces, and the water
gushing out, Onko saw his little friend
huddIcd together, greatly frightened,
but not much hurt.
When the gardener heard the great
crash he came running and reached the
spot just as Onko was trying to help
his companion out.
When he heard the story, he en-
ciaimcd:
"Ah, brave lad that you are! What
nre million such beautiful jars in COM
parison with the life of a human being?
must Mt once report the matter to the
council Fear not, but come with me-"
So, leading the little fellow by the
hand, he went to the chief mandarin
and told him the whole story.
Then Onko was summoned before
the council. When they heard of his
bravery and presence OF mind, they in
quired about his family, and it was
declared that his father was very poor,
SO that the little boy could not be edu-
Gated.
Then the council addressed Onko
through the chief mandarin and de-
creed that he should be supported and
educated by the government and pre-
pared for some worthy station in life.
Year by year Shiba Onko won the
highest concentrations from his teach
eTs. When he arrived at n suitable age

"A little shining ring lies In my hand,
Not gold, nor starred with gems but just.
instead.
A precious ring Of sunny yellow hair
Cut from my darlings head
What art thou like, without thy frame OF light,
The aureolc that made thy little face
Like to the cherub faces which in Heaven
Are found In fairest place?
How many times I've stopped to kiss and bless
The fairest little head in all my world
Tonight bow my own with silent tears,
And kiss one little curl
Robbed of thy crown. thou'rt still my little
king.
To whom bend in worship. praying yet
That the most kingly Giver may not
In love for thee forget
What thou hast been to me, my little lad
or sunshine and OF bloom in darkest days,
Only the Father knows. who plants some
flower
Along life's toughest ways
Out OF my arms. far out beyond my reach,
The swift years bear thee. but my yearning
heart
Can never make OF life blessed thing
From thee, dear boy, apart.
Till life's last day, thy tender. winsonle face,
Set with the blue and shine OF heavenly
skies,
And sweet with childish graces, will remain
Pictured before my eyes
God keep thee, bless thee. love thee. little lad I
cannot fold thee always. safe from harm;
Give him. dear Shepherd through LIES weary
years,
The shelter OF Thine arm.
Sharp griefs will come. and tears, unlike to
these
That make thy sweet eyes lovelier as they
fall.
Will dim thy sight and furrow thy fair cheek;
Such tears must come to all
But thou, my lad, be victor over all
LIES sharp temptations and its bitterest
pain
And bravely learn that earthly loss may mean
To thee Heavens highest gain
Again, God bless thee oh. my little lad!
/ bend once more to kiss this shining tress,
And give my love, unmeasured and untold
With this goodnight caress.
