LAND FRAUDS.

The Interior Department is just as
honeycombed with scandals and filled
with grafters as the Post Office,
though but little has been said about
it. The General Land Office, if in
vestigated, would far outstrip, in the
amount involved, the frauds in the
Post Office. The little already ex-
posed shows the vast ramif1cations of
the land ring and the enormous acre
age they have wrongfully appropria-
ted. The claim that the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration is willing and anxious to
punish grafters and prevent stealing
is not borne out by the lack of prose-
cution of the land ring. There is an
ominous quiet in the Interior Depart
ment at Washington; orders have been
given that no one, under threat of dis
missal, must give out any Informal
ton. Months ago Secretary Hitchcock
promised that directly the grafters
were corralled, the facts should be
furnished to the public, so either the
plunderers are still at large, or it is
feared that exposure will ''hurt the
party" The claim that this is a re-
form administration is not substan-
tiated by what is being done, but it's
whole efforts are being used to per-
petuate itself, instead of cleansing the
government by furnishing the grafters.

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part
OF the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 90 often
during the day, and to get UP many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing, cases.

Japanese are still appealing to him for
aid. Instead of meeting the enemy
with bows and arrows they are going
forth to battle armed with the most
modern weapons known to present day
warfare. Instead of fighting hill tribes
they are waging a desperate struggle
outside of the limits of their own ter
ritory with a power that a few years
ago caused Japan to tremble at her
very name. And still they worship as
of old, at the feet of Bishamon, laying
their modern magazine rifles down in
his temples for his blessing and beg
ging him to direct their shrapnel fire
straight and true.
The Japanese all hold themselves to
be descendants Of their own gods, and
there are a number of mobiles who
claim kinship with Bishamon and
whose families spend part of their in
come every year in keeping his shrines
in order and offering up incense be-
fore his idols.
Bishamon is supposed to smile on
his votaries as long as they content
themselves with killing their enemies,
but If they attempt to visit their
wrath on the helpless families Of those
who oppose them they are condemned
when they die to everlasting life in
Shurado, the world of fighting and
slaughter. Indeed, on many OF the
shrines of the war gods are the words,
carved into the pedestal, "Oni nj
kanaho," which is a proverb meaning
if the Russians act like demons they
must perish like demons by an iron
club in the hands of some avenging
deity.

land have been prostrating themselves
since before the Christian era: Ebisu,
bearing a fish, the patron of honest
toll; Hotel, whose pictures and idols
show him to be a mild looking gentle
man with an enormous abdomen, a
bag on his back and a fan in his hand.
Signifying contentment and good ma
ture; Benten, goddess of love, the only
female in the group; Jurojin, with
stag at one side and a crane perched
on the other, the god of the chase,
and at last, but greatest and most ven-
Grated of all, the mighty Bishamon,
god of war, armor clad, with spear
and a mace in one hand and his other
resting on the Pagoda of Seventy
Domes, in symbol of his prowess in
the capture of great cities.
Bishamon's temples-that is to say,
the temples of which he is the princi-
pal enshrined deity-number over
forty and in addition to these there
are thousands of wayside grottoes that
bear his idols. These are carved out
of wood, cast in bronze or worked in
papier mache; but, whatever their ma
terial and whatever their size, they
all bear the same unmistakable dis
torted countenance. Picture to your
self the ugliest human being you ever
saw, give him the added attribute of
an attack of violent spasms and you
have the face of the immortal Bisha-
mon.
Once upon a time-this may sound
like the beginning of a fairy tale, but
if you value your peace of mind never
tell a Japanese so-the goddess of the
sun and Schiyoto, god of agriculture,
fell in love with one another, and for
years after that happy event the rice
fields yielded abundant harvests, and
all Japan was glad. One day the god
of the silver sea met the goddess and
told her of his love. Schiyoto swore
revenge. He took thunderbolt, filled
it with mighty weapons, threw in
golden signet that carried with it the
power to subdue the world and created
Bishamon out of the heap. This was
in 1914 B. C. A century later all ia
pan, gave homage to the new deity,
who by that time had both his creator,
the god of agriculture, the goddess of
the sun and the goddess of the silver
sea in his retinue of vassals.
His fame grew rapidly. Every
sword before being carried into battle
was laid for weeks at the feet Of one
of the idols. The wooden figures OF the
god in every one of the shrines was
hung with gems. Whenever the saw
age hill men were near village threat
ening its peace and the husbands IA
theirs and brothers went out to fight
the enemy all the young maidens of
the settlement marched in troops to
the town shrine of the Bishamon
hung beautiful blossoms about his
neck and prayed that he might give
the victory into their hands.
AS the hill men had not neglected
the similar precaution of appealing to
the same god at his shrines up in
their Businesses, he must have had a
difficult time deciding which way some
of the battles were to go.
To-day, over 5000 years after this
god was added to the many thousands

EMOTIONS OF AN ACTRESS
COUNT FOR A GREAT DEAL

The expression of a variety of feel
ings by a smile, a frown, the play of
the eyes, or the curls of the lips, or
the arching of the eyebrows, is one of
the most difficult tasks of the actress.
An actress with the ability to make
her audience follow her through a
succession of emotions without speak
ing word in the portrayal is sure of
success on the stage-if she works
hard enough.

asked for a kiss. The man who asks
it is one of whom she is very fond,
The Savannah morning news., 1904-11-27

but also one whom she delights in
teasing.
The first picture shows her express
sion when he makes his request. De-
spite the apparent lack of hope he is
a persistent young man and really
wants to kiss the girl.
The second picture shows he is pos
sessed of some good looks and consid-
cradle eloquence in appeal, both APP
parently in his favor with the tease.
The girls expression in the third
picture shows her keen enjoyment of
the effect of her teasing as she jerks
her head back and avoids his attempt
to take her by surprise. She may give
in, but being a tease she prefers to
give in according to her own impulses
at her own time in her own way.
The young man refuses to admit he
is sorry he attempted to kiss her,
and declares his love is so great that
he will not stop at anything and the
last picture shows his reward.

New York, has for its chief funmakers
pretty Vera Michelena, as prima
