ie is the Greatest Festival of the Year
In Japan.
The great festival of the year in
Japan is the feast Of dolls, celebrat-
ed on the third day of the third
month. In every japanese family
of any consequence there is fire.
proof vat or etorehouse especially
built to hold the dolls, which are
handed down from generation to
generation. All the year until the
first day Of the feast the precious
dolls are kept safely locked up in
this vault, Sometimes there are
hundreds of them in the possession
of one of the great families. On
the first day of the feast the vault
is opened, and all the dolls are TAX
en- out. They are carried into the
finest room of the house, where
number of red covered shelves have
been built to receive them. Always
first among these historic dolls are
efiigies of the emperor and empress,
and next to them in Importance
come small reproductions of the
court musicians, ell complete to the
smallest details. Then there will
also be miniatures of other less
great but more familiar personages,
and for every one there is a COM
plete set of doll furnishings. In
the boudoir of one Of the doll wom-
en-, for instance, will be founG tiny
combs, mirrors and all the apparu-
tus for blackening the eyebrows,
reddening the lips and performing
all the other mysteries of the toilet.
There are also complete sets of
cooking and dining utensils, and the
little girls of japanese family dur
ing the three days of the feast of
dolls are kept busy seeing that all
the puppets are supplied with real
food, proper to their rank and sta
ton in life.
At the close Of the third day all
the dolls and their belongings are
packed away in their fireproof store
house, not to be disturbed again un-
til the next year. The feast of dolls
takes the place of Christmas to the
children of Japan.-Chicago TEib-

Johns ReadY WIT,

John was driving Mr.. and Mrs.
T. to the station when it was noticed
that the horse would stop every now
and then, and Mr.. T. remarked upon
it.
"What is the matter. this morn

"Shure, sorr," said John, ssthe
horse is a sensible craythur, an Oi
think that he stops now an thin to
listen as to what yes are sayin' be-
hind his back, sorr."
i The truth 81. the matter was,
though, that John in trying to lis
ten himself neglected to pay atten-
tion to his business, but his ready
nit saved him from any reprimand
on that occasion.

And so she set her cap at him.

daily speech she called him "Too-

WHEN BOYS FIGHT.
Incident That Carries Every Man Back
TO Barefoot Days.

TO Barefoot Days.
Although victory, actual OF pro-
spective, of course never was doubt
full (either you were winning or the
other fellow was winning, according
as to which did the telling), at some
times it appeared to q spectator
more decisive than at others.
You were feeling very spunky
that noon when amid your preserves
you deserted q stranger boy, but
civilly you challenged him. One
may witness two bluff but wary fox
terriers thus approach each other,
accost and investigate.
"Hello!" you wagged--that is,
said.
"Hello, yourself" wagged he.
'Say, what's your name?" you in
quired, as you had every right to do.
"Puddin' tame, ask me again, an
I'll tell you the same" he replied
insolently.
At the unmerited rebuff you stiff
ened.
Better not give me any of your
sass" you growled.
3Pooh! What'll you do?" he
growlcd back.
's1'll show you what I'll do"
"You couldn't hurt flea"
81 couldn't, couldn't II"
"Naw, you couldn't, couldn't t."
Walking circles around each 9TH
er, after this fashion you and he
sowed elimination and recrimina-
tion, while larger and larger waxed
an audience, hopeful of seeing them
spring up as blows.
Only when the furry came did
you discover too late how much tall
er and stronger and older than you
he was. Your bleeding nose showed
this to you, and, cowed and weep
ing, you retreated in bad order.
"I'll tell my big brother, and he'll
fix you" you growlcd threatening
ly.
CAV, he amt got any big broth
er," jeered the heartless crowd, who
saw no pathos in your abused organ.
This was true. You had none.
sT'll tell my father, them" you
walled angrily-another empty
boast. And, still shifting and fear
somely CORY, with the handkerchiefs
Of yourself and your one faithful
companion quite exhausted, you
reached the haven of friendly
pump.
You had not been whipped-not
exactly.
"Got licked, didn't you?" unkind-
ly commented various friends and
enemies.
tI didn't, eitherw you asserted,
indignant. "I had to quit cause
my nose was bleedin'. It takes
more'n him to lick me-"
"He gave you bloody nose, just
the samee.
You would not admit so much as
that.
"He didn't either. He never
touched my nose. It bleeds awful
easy. It bleeds sometimes when
you just look at it-don't it, Hen ?"

DR.. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup
has been used in thousands of homes for

has been freely published.
Doctors and Druggists everywhere do
not hesitate to recommend preparation
which they know contains the beat
known remedies for correcting all irreg-
ularities of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood,
and the diseases caused by the failure of
