BEWlLOERED SHOPPERS.
Japanese Peasants who Are Kept
Track of by Labels.

When the japanese peasants get
themselves up for a pilgrimage to a
city for the purpose OF laying in stock
of finery. they present the quaintest APP
pcarauce imaginable. The women gen
orally tuck up their petticoats well
above their knees. either leaving the
legs bare or else swathing them in
white bandages which form a kind OF
leggings. Their hair is done In the usu-
al elaborate japanese style. and gener-
ally an artificial flower is stuck in at
the top. IL does look comic 10 see the
wizened face of an old woman with a
large red nose hobnobbing over II. And
this floral decoration Is not confined to
the women. When you meet n party OF
pilgrims, you often see the old men also
with a flower stuck coquettishly above
the ear
At Nagano It appears that many OF
the poor old dears from the country get
so bewildered 10y the magnificence of
the places they go to and the distrac-
tions of shopping that they quite lose
their heads and consequently their
way. So the ever thoughtful Japanese
police have insisted that every party OF
pilgrims IS TO have a distinguishing
! badge. At Nagano II was the common
est thing possible TO see some ancient
dame rushing about waillng: Where is
my party? Where Is the purple iris
party" or where is the yellow towel
round the neck party" And then she
would be told that yellow towel round
the neck party" was on its way to the
station or that the purple iriscs" were

THE TOWNS|TE COMMISSION
Mr.. BURNEY REFUSES TO kP-
PRAISE PROPERTY.
Acting Under Instructions From
Gov. Johnston. G. Wright
Notified = Not in Accord with
ktoka Agreement

Eighteen Photographic sections of
the plat of Ardmore, embracing
nearly the entire city limits. have
been received by the townsite com.
mission. The original plat has
not yet reached here.
Acting under instructions from
Governor ID. II Johnston, Nj.
Burney, the Chickasaw member of
the commission, refuses to take
part in the appraisement of prop
erty in the city and has so notified
J. George Wright at Muskogee.
The stand taken by Governor
Johnston has been told at length
in these columns quite recently
and need not be repeated.
Ia brief, however, the governor
refuses to be a party to the plat
ting and appraising of property
uhltoo lhC Sulnc was uOut uuutE
the clauses as set forth in the
Atoka agreement.
The first plat of Ardmore was
framed under the conditions of the
Atoka agreement and Governor
Johnston and Mr.. Burney would
willingly have proceeded with the
appraisement at that time.
The plat of the city recently
made by Mr.. Joyce, supervised by
Mr.. Hinckley under a special ruling
of the secretary of the interior, and
not in accordance with the Atoka
agreement, does not meet favor
with the Chickasaw officials, hence
the instructions to Mr.. Burney to
take no part in the appraisement
of property under those conditions
at Ardmore or elsewhere.
