COMPLAIN TO MRS. THORPE.
Claimed That Aged Woman Is Being
NIistreated.

The attention of Police Matron
Thorpe has been called to the alleged
bad treatment which has been &C
corded to Mrs. Craft, the aunt of Mr..
and Mrs. H. S. Rinear, at the corner
of Laurel and Burwick streets, in
Auburndale, where all three live.
Rinear, who was an officer of the Sal
walton Army, ran away last winter,
but has since returned and is now
! living with his wife again. He was
a captain in the Salvation Army in
Topeka at the time of elopement, and
is now seeking reinstatement.

THEY MUSTN'T WEAR TUBS.
Principal Miller of High School sus-
ponds Students for This Offense.

The tub-fght which took place at
the High school Wednesday noon had
a sequel this morning, in which six
of the sub-juniors were suspended
from school. Their names are Leland
Warner, WiImot Stevens, Harry Nc
Kinley, Clinton Zercher, Earl Nye and
Edwin Taft.
All these boys were in the fracas
Wednesday and Won This morning
when they came into the assembly
room at the High school they wore
little souvenir tin-tubs on the lapels
of their coats with extra adornm ent
in the shape of long class ribbons.
When Principal Miller noticed this he
called the boys into his Office and sus-
pended them for, as he termed. it, EN-
rendering a class anita gOnisTn and
fight" The boys will in all likelihood
be reinstated after a few preliminary
apologies and interferences on the
part of their parents, but Principal
Miller said nothing this morning to
indicate any such action.
Mr.. Miller's step doubtlessly is in
the direction of wiping out some of
the class embrOglios and "mauling-
tests which the boys in the school
! have been precipitating from time to
| time lately. The Sub-juniOrS and sub
seniors are especially antagonistic.
/ They have been at it most of the win
/ ter in some shape or other. The
stunt performed by the ub-juniors in
| hanging their class .colors on the top
/ of the Edison smoke stack two weeks
/ ago brought things to a focus. threats
and challenges have been fitting
around like bug about a street lamp
for the past two weeks. Finally il
was decided to have a tub-fight and
| settle the troubles. Tuesday noon was
appointed and the boys of both classes
got out into the rain and mud on Har-
! rison street and beat each other
around, to see which side could have
| the most hands on an old iron wash
tub which was stationed in the mid
die of the street. The sub-juniors
won and today they were out glorying
in the fact. That is what caused thei1
downfall and suspension.

F all signs do not fail, Japan bids
fair to gain for herself as high a
rank among the great political
powers of the world as she now
holds in the realm of decorative
arts. This oriental island has lcns for

the present moment, when these plucky
uttle japanese are making such a name
Tor themselves as fighters, it is inter-
esting to recall some of their victories
IN peaceful arts which will always be
no less renowned than those of war.
Most of US are familiar in layman
fashion with the exquisite porcelains,
textile fabrics, lacquer, metal work,
bronze and worries wrought in this fas-
cinating oriental country, and to the
student of ceramics Japanese pottery,
with its wealth of color, exquisite in
lays and grace of symbolic treatment,
offers a wonderful field for Interesting
research Where every dash of the
brush on a simple fan and every design
on a gown is embIematic of rank or
sentiment a study of Japanese art is
really a study of their history.
The ceramic art in the land of the
rnilado owes its existence to the hu-
name instincts of the wife of an an
Client ruler. In the early history of this
Island it was the custom TO enc1rcle the
mound where illustrious dead were laid
with human victims buried in circle
I'D to their necks, there to remain I'M
til starvation mercifully came to their
release. The dying groans of these
victims at the obsequies of a royal
prince so touched the tender heart of
the mikado's wife that when the time
came for this respect to be paid to his
royal spouse the emperor ordered a
hundred workers in clay to be sent
from Korea to make terra Gotta fig
ures of horses, men and other things
to take the place of human victims So
from the potter's wheel introduced in
this grewsome fashion sprang the ce-
ramic arts in the seventh century
Faience, or common earthenware, was
the only kind made for five centuries,
pure japanese porcelain being I'M
known until the reign of the great Hi
deyoshi.
The japanese admit the influence of
China and Korea in their artistic edu
cation, and during the reign of Hijo
ncn went to China to learn working in

workers coming back to their native

Even at the present time the finest
specimens of faience and porcelain

of congratulations to the manufacturers
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as fol

child was baby he was subject to croupy
spells and we would be very uneasy about
him. We began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in 1887, and finding it

Group, we have never been without it in
the house since that time. We have five
children and have given it to all of them

this remedy Is that it is not disagreeable
to take and our babies really like it. An
other is that it is not dangerous. and
there is no risk from giving an overdose.
