The other statements are correct. Mr..

rne Tnen,ers In Japan.

The theaters are the very places to
study the Japanese. In many theaters
the entire house Is divided by rails
into square pens 4 by feet, intend
ed for four japanese, but often con-
tanning half a dozen. The men and
women are barefoot, walk the narrow
dividing rails to reach their reserved
seats" The patrons kneel within
these square pens, or, when there arc
no pens, they squat upon the floor In
little circular groups and smoke, eat,
drink, fan themselves and chatter.
Many come In and go out at random.
Children run to and fro. Frequently
the spectators bring luncheon and pass
the day within the theater, the play
continuing uninterruptedly.
The stage. which In some theaters
revolves to change scenes, has two de-
tached projections three feet wide, ex-
tending among the audience. Upon
these projections the performers run,
recitlng and acting.
Their acting Is sufficiently curious.
A villain slain walks Off the stage, q
Jap mops with a dirty cloth the chief
actors face while he Is speaking. The
prompter. dressed all In black. gown,
hood and girdle. will follow the actor
all around the stage. Other persons,
also In black, run to and fro across the
stage. Those costumed In black are
supposed to be invisible. Stage car
penters and helpers often stand upon
the stage and gaze and laugh at the
actors, and so on, Baltimore Sun.

those who will be present from
about the county are strang.
ers in Owosso, and the most of them
are men who are often here on
business, yet this week The TIMES
wishes to extend an especial welcome
to them when in body they come as
the city's guests. AS was so well
brought out at the county meeting of
farmers clubs q few weeks ago by Mr..
Gibbs, the interest of the cities and the
farming communities are almost en-
tirely mutual and at such times as these
the mutual understanding and good
feeling should be increased. Let every
farmer who can possibly do so attend
and get all the good he can from these
meetings which are free of cost to all
and let all feel that Owosso as a city
welcomes them here next Monday and
Tuesday.
