Mistaken conclusions regarding the
Japanese Geisha are very often drawn
by people who do not know. She is
not necessarily person Of corrupted
morals but simply a woman educated
to attract from childhood The study
Of personal magnetism. is hers through
life, and although she is invariably q
daughter of the lower class, with ugly
fingers and homely hands, she could
be classed above many modern women
who have also made personality
study.
The Cclsha is extremely clever. Her
dancing is one Of the things in which
she eXcels. Although our own women
have tried to initiate her graceful
movements and the fascinating rhythm

1t should be done. Her position in
the beautiful land Is one of import

Old Soldiers Story

Sonoma, Mich, June 13.-That even
in actual warfare disease is more ter
rible than bullets is the experience OF
Delos Hutchins of this place. Mr..
Hutchins as a Union Soldier saw three
years of service under Butler Barke in
the Louisiana swamps and as result
got crippled with Rheumatism so that
his hands and feet got all twisted out
of shape and how he suffered only a
Rheumatic will ever know.
For twenty-five years he was in mis-
cry, then one lucky day his druggist
advised him to use Oodd's Kidney Pills.
OF the result Mr.. Hutchins says:
1.-THE first two boxes did not help
me much but got two more and before
l got them used up I was great deal
better. | kept on taking them and
now my pains are all gone and I feel
better than l have in years. know

Washington.--After a study and re-
search covering a period of many years
the bureau OF forestry has at last been
able to announce the success of a new
form of railroad tie, "the half round
tie," which, it is claimed, will greatly
minimize maintenance expenses and,
in conjunction with the introduction of
appliances known as screw spikes and
screw dowals, bids fair to become a
great blessing to the railroad industry
of this country. Arrangements are al
ready under way for the extensive in
PRODUCTION of the appliances, the need
of which has been felt so pronounced
ly of late.
The government report recently sub
mitted contains some valuable infOr-
nation on this subject, and it says:
The annual consumption of ties on
203,1 1872 miles of railroad track in this
country is 114,000,O00, and it is yearly
becoming harder TO meet this demand.

Havana, Cuba exported baled leaf to-

one fourth of the cigars.

The present primary election
law is quite stringent in its penal
clauses, but not enough 90. The
man that sells his vote should be

Star.
There may be contempt for the
man who sells his vote, and as q
rule the man who sells his vote
does not consider his act as crimi-
nal, especially when the offer to
buy is from one who. perhaps,
stands above him socially and
otherwise. If "the man that sells
his vote should be forever disfran-
chised," what punishment should
be metsd out to the one who offers
to buy. who solicits the purchase,
the man who leads the other to an
act which should brand with dis
honor and contumely the man who
suggests, or offers, or does bargain
and secures such vote! There
are men who scruple not to meth
DDS; men who would go any length
and take any risk or advantage to
compass their political schemes.
And, unfortunately, such men are
not limited to the scale of the
hoodlum, but in many instances
stand as examples Of worthiness.
How can there be put a stop to
this disgraceful and most damna-
BILE corruption of the electorate!
There is a law to reach bribery as
we'll as the buying and the selling
of votes, but the offenders are me-
YER disturbed and are left to the
fullest enjoyment of their crime.
But there will come a day when

We have heard it rumored that
some New Orleans cotton oil mill
was thinking of building q cotton
ginDery here and one at Parks
station. 1t seems as If to control
the cotton seed now the oil mills
have to buy the seed cotton and
gin it for their own account. Our
cotton planters prefer to sell their
cotton in the seed rather than have
it ginned and shipped to market.
Those who are after cotton seed
can only get it from the ginneries,
and not from the individual farm

may see ginneries all over the cot
