THE DRuIDs OF PARIS.
faded Denisens of the Gay Capital
Have a New Fad.

Have New RAD.
There have been many curious or
ders, sects or confraternities in Paris
from time to time, such as the Rosi-
crucians Some women have now
been founding the "Order of Druid
ness" and are reviving the old Celtic
mysteries and ceremonies to re-
markable extent. The movement or
iginated with two Parisiennes, who.
when they were not wearing the long
flowing white robes of their Order,
dress in the most rayishing twentieth
century manner. The Druidesses
have also Druids, who accompany
them to the Forest of Fontainebleau,
there to celebrate their rites. At the
end of each month Druids, and espe-
ciaily Druidesses, march by moonlight
when there is moonlight, through the
forest, singing hymns to Nature, and
addressing poetical invocations to the
moon, the rocks, the streams and the
trees. On the last night of December
the Druidesses and their friends went
to Fontainebleau Forest there to pluck
the miseltoe, or, rather to bring 1t
down with golden bill-hooks. The sac
red plant was carefully gathered in
white cloth, all present singing
hymns in its praise.

The PASSING Of ! Faithful Friend.

Clothes" said man who was looking
at some tiny Pomeranians at the dog
show Some of us wouldn't recog-
nize the canine family IL we chung to
our standards OF generation ago. In
the bench show of to-day we miss
some old friends. Did you ever think
how long 1t had been since you had
seen Newfoundland dog? I'll bet
you can't recall having seen one In ten
years. The breed has practically died
out, and understand that there is
but one kennel in the world that pre-
tends to breed Newfoundlanas, and
that Is an obscure one In England.
When we consider that the Newfound-
land was the close friend Of the child
of twenty-five and thirty years ago.
and that the animals were credited
with saving q large number Of lives,
K seems strange that sentiment should
not have been strong enough 70 pre-
vent the breed from dying out. ~ New

Finds Employment on Monster
Ranges Of British Columbia.
II notice that the young men who
view the far West from car window
and then write 1t up for the maya
zines, say that the cattle range Is a
thing Of the past" said the man from
Montana. "They also tell us that
the always picturesque cowboy is a
thing Of the past, and his successor
is little more than farmland. More
they tell us is that the small ranch
has taken UP all the land. and that
the only place in the world where one
could find big cattle range is in
Australia or on the steppes OF ST.
IBERIA.
These young fellows may write
very nicely. but they are off on their
facts. You can see the far West as
it was in the heyday of the cattle
business by going up into British
Columbia. Here you can find ranges
such as Wyoming, Texas or Montana
never boasted And the cowboy is
there, too, just as picturesque, and. IL
anything, little more tough than he
was when the states formed his
stamping ground. In fact, there are
many bad citizens punching cows in
the basins north of the Montana line.
Some of them found the climate more
healthy, as the authorities of the
communities that wanted them re-
garded extradition from the Dominion
as trifie expensive.
ut won't be long before we will
have short stories and novels founded
on material gathered in this new cat
tie country, for there is no end to the
striking color that can be obtained"

Jspanese Marines Suppress Strike
Riot at MOkphe-Trouble Said
~.@:~E# to BE Local. g,s-.

Seoul, Dec. 15.-The Japanese landed
marines at Mokphe Sunday to suppress
rioting during strike among laborers.
It is reported that they fired upon the
mob, killing several people.
The strike was among Corean coolies
employed in the foreign concessions
which precipitated clashes among the
COreans and Japanese.
The affair, it is thought, may cause
local complications, and it is possible
Russia may send warship should the
Corean government resent the LANDING
of marines by Japan.
Mokphe is a town on the southwest
coast of Corea. 1t has about 5000 in
habitants.
Washington, Dec. 15.-The state de-
partment has received the following ca
blegram from United States Minister
Allen, dated Seoul, Corea, December 10:
Japanese forces landed at Mokto
"a point on the west coast of Corea 200
miles south of Chemulpo) yesterday to
protect Japanese subjects from Corean
rioters. This has no. significance, as
trouble is purely local."

with the canal question and the policy
of the administration in dealing with
the Central American situation. He said
