Their Heads Alike.

Justice John Proctor Clarke of the
Supreme Court was holding court a
few afternoons ago in one of the badly
ventilated rooms of the County Court
House. Before him was a lawyer
whose head was almost as devoid OF
hair as that Of the Justice himself
and the latter comes pretty near to
holding the record in that way.
''Your honor" said the lawyer Il
must request that the window over
on the other side of the room be
closed more tightly. I feel the draught

THE SWORD In JAPAN
WEAPON HELD IN GENERAL ES-
TEEN AND REVERENCE.
Authentic Elades cf Famous Makers
still Highly Prized-How the Prod
uct Of One SworGemith Obtained a
BAD Reputation.

Until the year 1908 there was no
law existing in Japan with regard to
the wearing Of swords. Any one
might carry as many as he chose.
During the Tokugawa regime, how
ever, law was promulgated which
allowed only the mobiles, the fighting
men or samurai, the artists or paint
ers and the swordsmiths to carry
swords. This law remained in force
until 1877, when an edict was issued
forbidding any one to wear swords in
public This created discomfort
among those whose privilege it was
to carry them, whereupon the govern
ment proclaimed another edict, allow
ing any one to wear as many swords
as he pleased. This removed the
cherished distinction attached to the
wearer of a sword, and no one cared
to do what was permitted to all. AL
though wearing swords has entirely
ceased for twenty years in Japan, the
old esteem and reverence for the
weapon and it's use still exist among
the gentlemen of the country, and
many of the nobility have at their
houses regular establishments where
fencing is practiced.
In the past there were certain fam
GUS swordmakers in Japan ssld au-
thentic blades of their wOrkmA1 A1ship
are highly priced. Ore old-time sword
maker has a singular reputation. This
ic hn of %
great tIasamune, second in fame Of
ell japanese swOrdsmiths. He was
widely known and undoubtedly made
swords which were excellent weap-
ons, but he was a man of violent tenn
per, and his swords were thought eX-
ceedingly dangerous. 1t was suppos-
ed that once withdrawn from the
sheath they always shed tblood be
fore being returned. They were re-
garded as being particularly unlucky,
so far as the Tokugawa family Of ia
panese rulers was concerned. The
father and grandfather of Iyeyasu,
the first shogun Of the family, were
both attacked by men carrying Mura-
masa swords. Iyeyasu therefore is
sued an edict forbidding any one to
carry them. 1t was in this way that
they acquired their bad reputation.
Muramasa once challenged Masa-
mune to trial of their respective
swords. Masamune consented, and
the sword blades were placed in a
running stream of water. with their
edges turned against. the current. All
the leaves, twigs and rubbish which
a0Wed down stream ran into Mura-
nasa's sword and were severed. while
they carefully avoided coming into
contact with MasamUne's blade All"
said M2samune, that demonstrates
very well the difference between our
swords; yours is bloodthirsty and cuts
everything which comes near it,
While mine avoids doing unnecessary
damage"

AT BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY
ForcefuI Sermon Preached by
Pastor Long,

There was a good congregation at
the Baptist church Sunday in spite OF
the inclement weather. Pastor J. M.
Long preached from Romans 1872,
"There IS no difference" He said in
many things people differed from each
other religiously, but there was one
thing in which there was no diner
encO. Out of this the preacher brought
the following important truths:
l. There 10 no difference as to the
facv of sin. In the eyes OF God all
men are sinners. God looks at the
motive.
2. There 10 no difference as to the
fact of Gods love. He loved all men
alike, for He loved them to the extent
that He gave His sou to die for them.
3. There is no difference as to the
power and purpose of Christ's death.
de died for all; He ~ able to save all.
All who believe will be saved.
A. There is no difference as to the
way of salvation; all must be saved by
faith.
The pastor reports much encourage
ment in raising funds for the new sun
day school annex, having in sight
about $1,000. 1t will take about S2,5O0
to complete the building, and work
will likely begin about the first OF the
new year.
This has been one OF the most pros
porous years in the history of the Bap'
list church. A bout one hundred have
been added to the membership.
The church has kept we'll up with
all of its finances, and will enter the
new wear with the brightest hopes.
