DOLL OF O-TUKI-sAN.

TFrom the Cleveland Plain Dealer.1
The japanese children have a curious
and touching belief that their dolls,
after a certain length of time, become
possessed of souls. They think that
their little paper or cloth playmate
knows them, can understand and can
also speak to them in dreams. A doll
in Japan, you must understand, is not
cast away after it has been iii the hands
of the children for two or three years.
1t is given by mother to daughter, and
when the daughter is a mother, to her
daughter. And the longer a doll is in
the family, say these gentle people of
Japan, the more soul it gains and the
more it feels for the little one to whom
it belongs.
A little japanese girl, therefore,
treats her doll with all the respect that
she feels is due to another person. She
shares her joys and her sorrows with it,
and keeps it carefully. knowing that so
long as the doll lasts so long will it's
soul continue to grow. And when lit
tie japanese girl dies her doll is always
put in the temple where the spirits of
the children are supposed to come and
play, so that the plaything she loved
most in life will also be in the other to
delight her.
O-Tulxi-San was little girl in Toxic,
and she had a most beautiful doll. 1t
was all dressed in shimmering colored
silks, and had real black hair stuck full
of butterflies and dragonf1ies. And this
doll has been with the family for over
sit and talk with it for hours. and the
little smiling doll would smile at her
and seemed to nod its little black head
as though it understood. O-Tuki-San
wandered off away from her little house
into the great dark woods near by, car
rying with her the doll
That night there were parties search
ing all over for the little girl, but no one
could find her, and the searchers re-
turned. But O-Tuki- Sans mother had
been weeping so long that she fell asleep
out of sheer WEAKNESS. In her sleep
she saw a little smiling doll come
through the door, all dressed in SHIN
mering, gayly-colored silks. 1t was O.
Tud-San's doll. 1t turned and the
mother seemed to follow 1t. Straight
into the forest they went, the doll turn
ing now and then to smile on the trem-
bling mother. At last, in the hollow in
the rocks, in the depth of the forest, the
doll ran suddenly forward and leaped
into the arms of the little O-Tuki-San,
sleeping peacefully.
The mother awoke. A party imme-
diately set out with her to the place Of
her dream. They went along the road
shown her by the doll until they came
to a hollow in the rocks, and there, sure
enough, was O-Tuki-San, with the smi1-
ing little doll clasped tightly in her
arms. You may be sure there were no
honors too great after that for the little
doll. The family of O-Tuki-San adopted
it as their daughter, and even now it is
called O-Tuki- Okara-San which means
the Honorable Little Sister of Tuki.
Such is the story of the dolls that live in
Japan.

HIS CHANGE OF HEART.
Attorney General GODDARD Now
FaVOrs the Trusts.

Attorney General GODDARD, who three
months ago said he was seeking evidence
for the purpose of prosecuting promoters
of trusts, has experienced a change OF
heart and announces that he will do moth
ing of the kind. He says:
If anybody in Kansas can poipt out one
benefit which the people would secure by
my driving the Standard Oil company
from Kansas, then I will go into the SUI
preme court and ask that it be enioined
from tranSacting any further business in
drive this company out of the state. what
would be the result? The smaller com
the state and we might expect to see the
price of oil advance. We want COMPETE
the best their money will buy. and in
driving out the Standard OilNcompany I
would kill competition. Since I came into
this office have not received a single
complaint from anybody in the state con-
corning the Standard Oil company. I
have seriously considered commencing
proceedings against the company, but
of that sort are done, it is for DoIitic5I
effect. and I am not built that Wav I
don't believe in looking after the peoples
interests by making political issues
I believe that there should be q change
IN some OF our laws. regulating the for
nation of legitimate trade Communications
We have, by legislation, prevented any
such organizations. and it has had the ef-
feet of driving many manufac tories ont
of business in Kansas. Look at the wire
manufacturers. They were cOmpelled TO
quit business because they could not form
that character. This was wrong, as any
body can see The combination of wire
companies would have enabled plants in
this state to live and would have done the
people no harm either. The trust merely
comes in and underbids and underselIs the
small manufacturer. He can do nothing
but shut down his plant.
1T is practically the same way with re-
gard to other manufactures in the state.
We, by law, have prohibited them from
forming combinations for their preserva-
ton, and the trust wipes them out one at
a time. This is not right, and I believe
there should be a change. I believe the
government should regulate trusts and fix
the prices of their goods, Just as it does
railways and postal companies.
There has been some talk among the
fusion senators because I do not continue
the prosecution of some grocery trust
operating in this state. The prosecution
is said to have been commenced by nv
predecessor 1 Understand that Mr.. BOYLE
took testimony against this trust but he
did not leave the testimony in this OFFICE
and ] can do nothing without it.,

ough investigation of the records by Hon.
John w Roberts. leading attorney of
hutchinson, who found the facts to be as
follows:
During. ex-County Attorney Falls ad-
uary l, 1889, four years, there was larger
percentage of convictions Of liquor cases
and at a less average cost to the county.
The liquor prosecution during that per

average of four one-hundredths of one

The average liquor case costs the coun-
ty $500 less than other criminal cases
All liquor cases combined cost over So, 900
The liquor prosecutions actually cost the
county an average of S240.15 per year.
The other criminal cases a large per

Four murders caused directly by LIQUOR

During these four years the total num-

cases.
In. the g.. liquor cases. there were 46 con-
victions-that is. "A per cent.
In the IA other criminal cases, there
were 20 convictiOns-that is, only IS per

The records show that all the costs
made by both plaintiff and defendant to-
gether with attorneys fees. are taxed
as costs. OF these items of cost the coun-
ty never pays any of the costs made by
the defendant and pays none of the fees

costs in the action.

FOUGHT FOR THE FLAG.
Topeka Soldier Relates a Fourth of
July Incident

Manila, P. T., July 5, 1899
To the Editor of the State Journal
As an example of the patriotism dis
played by the Filipinos during the
Fourth of July celebration in Manila.
the following incident which occurred
on the parade grounds of the Quartet
de Espana, now occupied by the Kan
sas troops. may be cited.
A combat between two Filipino
youngsters over possession of an Amer
lean flag attracted the attention of the
soldiers as one of the combatants was
nearly twice the size of the other. The
smaller one chung to the adage that
proof of possession is presumptfve
PROOF of ownership" and yielded it
with reluctance.
An investigation revealed the fact
that the yOungster had come into pos
session of the property by "Fagin's
method and upon the arrival of his
mother the boys interfered to prevent
him from getting a severe trouncing.

trouble The audience on the first
floor numbered about Is, counting the
policemen. Chief Ramsey had announc-

gallery yelled.
It was nearly o'clock when a man
minus his coat and displaying the large
expanse Of a fresh boiled shirt under
his open vest and with his hat pulled
down over MS eyes stepped out from
behind the curtain and said: DE fust
ting on de programme will be bag

The bag acted as if it We're punctured
and the guy ropes holding the platform
threatened to break but Mr.. Watts be-
came very savage and chastised that
innocent bag in a vicious manner. It
did not hurt it. The man in the white
shirt again stepped to the front of the
stage. DE gang forgot ter bring de
gloves so we has ter wait awhile before

crowd.
The man at the piano became angry
He knocked the piano out with two
rounds of Swell Coons A Dancing and
tried a few more rag time pieces. The
gallery did not like him and Kissed.
The professor kept right on and
when the storm of Kisses cleared away

yelled. After half a dozen rounds the

Three cOlOred men were turned loose
in the ring and ordered to mix. Things
were lively until two retreated and
then the. athletic entertainment was
finished.
