"a Temple of Divorce."

So long ago as 1850 the wife of a
Japanese regent obtained from the
government permission to rescue wo
men from the hands of cruel hus-
bands
The means she took were very SIM
pie. A new sect of Buddhism known
as the Zen was just then being form
ed. In the temple of the Zen sanct-
uary was established for fleeing wives
When they wished separation or di-
vorce from their husbands they could
claim protection under the wing OF
the temple. Once across the thresh.
old, government Off cials would not
be allowed to interfere. still less the
furious husbands.
This Temple of Divorce" was su-
preme umpire on matters of matri
mOnlal disagreement. The practice
OF the privilege Of the temple" was
maintained for over 500 years-in
tact, up to the beginning of the pres
ent reign.

BEAR CHASES BICYCLlST.
Thurston County Man Who Has Pc
cuIiar Adventure

mpia.-Dick Downs, who came
into Olympia Monday afternoon from
Little Rock on a wheel, says that he
was almost killed by big black bear
Thich crowded his pathway and at
tackled him the other side of Nc
Clouds place, several miles north
west of here.
Dick Downs was riding in this di-
rectiOn when a large black bear
which he thinks must have weighed
200 pounds, emerged from the under
brush at the side of the road directly
in front Of him. He saw that he
would strike the creature with his
wheel and dismounted quickly. when
the bear turned upon him, striking
him with its paws and almost telling
him to the ground Downs was too
quick for the animal, however, and
got quickly onto his wheel.
He says the bear followed him at
least 100 feet. The mans arm is
badly lacerated and confirms his
story of the encounter

BiIIviIle PHILOSOPHY,

Never mind how the worlds going
we're in the circus till the lights are
out.
If the devil be in the cyclone, all
we've got to say is-he will sure cool
off in hurry.
We're not bothering ourselves as
to how old the world is-just how
long we are to travel with it is the
leading question.
Scientists tell us the world is roll
ing mighty close to the hereafter-sO
close, in fact. we've sometimes felt
like our summer clothes were scOrch-
ing.
We don't ever expect to be salts
fed till we get all that's comm to
us-but We put the angels on notice
that we'll be too tired to tackle the
golden harp business until a thou
sand years after we get there.

AN INFAMOUS PRACTICE

able to give evidence sufficient
to find an indictment which IS
worth ten dollar bill to him. That's
all there Is In 1t. He could come
here and spend some time trying to
find the name of witnesses that do
know something, but instead Of
that the people are summoned
right and left. LIS an Infamous
practice and an outrage on the
rights OF the people. It the witness
does not 60 he Is liable to fine and
imprisonment. The law IS all
right 1t the man hack of 1t would
do his duty and not use the law to
increase his revenues. We hope
some of the Witnesses will bring
the matter before Judge Willis, and
If they will we believe he will tell
the prosecuting attorney some
things that will stop this Infamous
outrage on our people.

Hackmen tell Us that the road
between this city and Middlebourne

our county seat neighbors much
satisfaction to know that 1t will not

points will be connected by an
electric railroad. In all probability

than 1t otherwise would, on account
Of The almost impossible condition
