have done, make a study of our
business, obtain all the information
we can from bulletins, papers and

taught in our public schools and
keep our families supplied with
good agricultural papers and books.

When Distastefui Things are
Good.

The Kansas City Journal re-
marked recently that II would be
great fun to see the Democratic
editors who have been bitterly be-
rating Mr.. Folk crawl into the
b~andwagon over the endgate after
the st. Louis prosecutor Is nomi-
mated. Among the editors mem
toned was Arthur Aull, of the
Lamar Democrat. "This reminds
u.s." Mr.. Aull says In his paper,
"of a story that has been told
down In this part OF the state for n
good many years. Senator Vest
Is accredited with It's original
authorship, but whoever invented
1t, there Is no denying the fact that
1t sometimes applies to a political
situation. A company of hunters
were camping out In the woods.
They designated certain member
of their party TO do tho cooking.
The first fellow who kicked on the
grub vas to take his place. Sew
cral days passed and the cook got
mighty sick Of hearing tho other
fellows brag upon his cooking.
So he fixed up a pie, and before
putting II In to bake he cmptied
into 1t about a half n pint OF salt &.
He was sure that some member of
the party would be shaken In his
admiration of his culinary ac-
complishmcnts and put up a kick.
This, according to the original
agreement, would have relieved
the builder OF the pie and put the
kicker In his place. Pretty soon
the party came in, and the cook
had dinner awaiting them. All
through the meal every man about
the table Dragged mcndaciously
on the grub. Finally the cook
brought on the pie. Ono fellow
took n good-sizcd piece and buried
his teeth in It, but that was as far
rs he got. lie began to spit and
gag and swear. This Is the

fore he had finished he had rccov-
cred his presence of mind. by n

The Catholic Union of Missouri,
Mt its annual meeting last week at
Jefferson City, adopted measures
which will be presented to the
next Legislature with a view OF
bringing about a change in the
divorce laws of the state. In
taking this action, the union Is
following in the wake of other
christian organizations all over
the country, who have aligned
themselves against what they
term the national evil. Their
purpose Is to secure a uniform
national law, which they reason
will, to a large extent at least,
eradicate the social and moral evils
resulting from the too lax legisla-
ton now existing in many of the
states. The union will go a step
further than most of these organ
izations, and will ask that the state
recognize the indlssollubility of THE
marriage tic and provide separa-
ton from bed and board In certain
cases. A fight will also be made
against the recognition by the
courts of common-law marriages.
The statutes of Missouri provide
that no marriage shall be deemed
a marriage unless a license shall,
have been procured from a duly
authorized person. Regardless of
this fact, however, the supreme
court, In several OF its decisions,
it is said, has favored common
law marriages. Social reformers
point with pride to South Carolina
as the only state in the Unto q
which does not grant absolute
divorce except by an appeal to tn G
state legislature, while must

By Richard Harding Davis, Golfers Spe-
 cial War Correspondent in Japan.
 (The Japanese. war office has issued a war correspondents pass to Mir. Davis, and has assigned him to the second col- umn. Until this takes the field, MT. Davis will write of events in the Japanese cap ital)
 Kobo Daishi Is a Japanese saint. Once while in China he carved an image of himself and threw it into the China sea. It floated all the way to Japan where 1t was caught in the net of fisherman. When the fisherman found what he had caught he was happy and built shrine for the image and worshiped it. The inn age performed so many miracles that soon people from all the coast made long pilgrimages on foot to knee al it's shrine. They still make the pilgrimages, but as now Japan is modern they no longer need to walk. Instead, on the Fist of each month the railroad runs special trains to Kawasak, and the pilgrims are carried to the shrine in electric cars.
 Of all the twelve festivals, the one on March 21 is the most important, and on that day d great bazaar starts mile away and advances with two rows Of fiuttering banners to the very steps of the temple. Indeed, so close does the fair encroach upon the shrine that the priests who are selling prayers inside are inter rupted by the men outside who are sell ling musical tops.
 And those who came to worship remain to play
 Outside the temple is a great double decked gate, and still nearer q covered we'll a square stone tank fed from a spring. On the edge of the tank are wooden ladies, and before he says his prayers each pilgrim stops at the well to rinse his mouth and bathe his hands. Gay banners of various colors. and cov- cred with texts, hang above his head These ne uses as towels. The temple It. self is a low massive structure, squatting on the great steps like a monster turtle Its beams are of giant size. In compar- ison the timbers of an old wooden bat tleship would look as though they had been cut by a scroll saw. The temple is virtually a single square hall open at the sides, except for screens, and divid- ed by screens and carved railings. At the entrance to the temple at the top of the stone steps is an oblong wooden trough, covered by gridiron of wooden bars Pilgrims who wish to pray or to give thanks for prayers already granted. as they enter, throw copper money into this trough.

the temple shutting off the view of the shrine were a row of tables, behind which stood priests vending prayers.
 To the stranger their manner suggest ed less the priest than the alert and obg- ing salesman. So professional was their bow when they handed one a prayer that enc rather expected to hear them ask, will you take it with you, or shall we send it?" They offered prayers of every variety and did so great business that the priest who burned candles was fore ed to sell the same candle to many diff ferent worshipers And although as soon as he lighted candle he snuffed 1t out again. he was soon far behind. and by nightfaIl many prayers. though paid for, were still unuttered. Other prayers were sold after fashion that suggested we'll known game of chance. Behind the priest were rows of what looked like private letter boxes in a postoffice, each with a number. The pilgrim paid for his prayer and the priest by shaking a box he held shot out rod. He read num- Der on the rod and from the letter box that bore the corresponding numebr took printed paper. It told the pilgrim at once whether his prayer was answered and what his future fortunes might be. Those of the pilgrims who wished to pass beyond the prayer tables and draw near CT to the shrine left their sandals with busy young men, who checked the shoes with large wooden tablets. Rid of their sandals, the pilgrims were free to walk upon the mats before the shrine. Those who wished to smoke did so. Those who had brought their children allowed them to run off with other children and play hide-and-seek around the altar. In spite of the incense, the dim light, the golden images, it was difficult to realize that one was in place of worship. The cop per coins echoed from the coffin like troughs or were smashed violently against the shrine, paper prayers wrap ped around other coins hurtled through the air like shuttlecocks, the children's voices as they played hide-and-seek rang deightedly. and the peremptory clap ping of hands as each pilgrim endeavored to attract the attention of the saint 10 his own particular prayer was as inces- sant as it was nsistent. And in the moat around the temple great goldfish, when the children capped their hands. rose out of the vasty deep and leaped into the air for sugar cookies.

THE sYNoDIcAL COLLEGE.
Rev. pr. staee Explains Status of she
 Matter

The Rev. Dr. John w. Stagg writes the following letter. which will be read with interest by every one concerned in the location of the Synodical college:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 In order to prevent confusion in the minds of some who may have read the account of the recent meeting of the synod of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, l have thought 1t might be well to give a brief statement of the facts leading to the calling of the synod together.
 The board of trustees of the college for men. in this synod. was directed to advertise in the public prints for bids for the location of the said college, naming as a minimum consideration the sum of $25, OO0 in cash. or its equivalent, and a suitable site and naming the fifth day of April as the last day when bids would be received. At that time. Selma, Montgomery. Annis- ton, Florence, Bessemer and Montevallo sent sealed bids to the board of trus- tees, whereupon the board requested the moderator. MT. Thad Harrison of Mobile, to convene the synod in called session at Tuscaloosa on the 18th of April. When the synod met there was an overture from East Alabama presbytery request ing the synod to postpone action until its fall meeting This overture was re- ferred to the committee on bills and over tures and that committee recommended that the overture be not granted, where upon the Rev. D. N. Mclaughlin of An nston offered as a substitute, that the synod adjoi n to meet in the First Pres byterian church, Birmingham, on the Sth day of June" when the matter of set ting upon the location of said college would be taken up.
 l have made this statement in order to show that the question of locating the college has never been before the synod, and so far as that body is concerned, that no bids whatever have been placed before 1t. The only question before the synod at Tuscaloosa was the overture from East Alabama presbytery, request ing postponement. The debate on that question lasted from 8 until F o'clock, and then the synod adjourned.
 The board of trustees made no report whatever to the synod. And so the ques- tion of location is now precisely as 1t was on the 9th day of April, when the board received the bids. When the synod meets on the 9th of June. the board of trustees will then turn over to the synod these bids and the question of location will be taken up.
 I hope this statement will relieve the confusion which possibly may have arisen from the fact that the synod called to locate the college adjourned without see ing its way clear to do so
