GENGHIS KHAN A JAPANESE
So Aver Historians Was the Asiatic
Conqueror of the Thirteenth
Century,

Some Japanese historians aver that
Genghis Khan, the Asiatic conqueror in
the thirteenth century, was a Japanese
by birth, states the New York Sun. This
is their account of it:
Gen. CT Kio, pronounced Genghis Khan
In Chinese, was younger brother of
Yoritomo Minamoto, the founder of the
Minamoto Shogunnate toward the close
of the twelfth century. Gen. Gi Kio was
valiant warrior. In many wars that
led to the final establishment of his
brothers powerful government at KAN
akura, about so miles from Toxic, in de-
fianca of the royal sovereignty, he had
done more than anybody else toward
helping his brother
But, as is often the case, in the latter
period of the Minamoto Shogunnate,
there arose feud between the brothers,
This feud finally brought the partisans
of each of the brothers into a deadly
struggle for mastery. Only with the aid
of HOBO, afterward the successor to
Minamoto Shogunnate, was Shotgun Yo-
ritomo able to drive his younger brother
northward.
Gen. CT Kio, reduced to the state of
a fugitive, crossed the Strait of Tsugaru,
accompanied by his trusted follower,
Benkei, the Hector of Japan. There
they remained for few years, evidently
with hope of recovering their loss.
But, finding at length that the pros
pect of recovery was meager, the fugi-
tvs conceived an idea of trying the fur
tune of war in the mainland of Asia.
They secured large vessel, sailed from
a port in the promontory of Benkei,
named after the hero, and crossed the
Sea of Japan to Saghalien, whence they
entered to Manchuria.
The chief Of the Mongols was one
day surprised to find a short, thick-set
man, apparently very young, presented
to him by his 1uen. Though the Ian
guage OF Gen. CT Kio was unintelligible
to the Mongols, yet the gestures with
which he made his audience understand
him won over completely the fancy of
the aged chief, who afterward adopted
him as his son.
Gen. Gil KiO could write his name in
chinese, as the Japanese names are all
written In Chinese characters. Where
as in the Japanese pronunciation the
written name of the adopted son of the
Mongols was Gen. CT Kio, in the Chi
nese it was Genghis Khan.
After many years of military practice
and after becoming familiar with the
customs and language of the Mongols,
as that is the characteristic of the Jap
anese race, Genghis Khan became the
idol OF the Monaghan army, and, after
the death of the chief, the leader Of the
tribes of M0npOlia

HOW THE FROG ORIGINATED
Thirsty Woman Was Prevented
from Getting Drink.

Did you ever hear how frogs origi-
mated? 1t is a queer story, but then
it happened long time ago, when the
world was young and all sorts of queer
things were happening. We can, of
course, believe as much or as little of
such stories as we please, but at least
they entertain us.
Now as to the frogs, they came into
being because weary, thirsty woman
was prevented from getting a drink Of
water. Here is the way the story is
told:
Latona was beautiful goddess, who
lived with the other goddesses and gods
on Mt. Olympus, where Jupiter and
Juno reigned, as you know. She was
distinguished for many things, but
chiefly for being the mother of Apollo
the i'll will Of Juno in some way and
was banished from Olympus, with no
place to put her foot and no shelter
for her weary head, for Juno had made
Terra, the earth, promise that she
should not find rest anywhere.
Neptune, the god Of the sea, how
ever, took pity on the banished goddess
and invited her to the Isle of Delos,
which then floated under the water but
rose to the surface at his command.
There she found peace and comfort and
brought up her two famous children.
Apollo to become the god Of the sun
and Diana the goddess of the moon.
But perhaps you are wondering wha:
all this has to do with the frogs. 1t Ia
said that one day while Latona was
wandering desolate and weary with her
children, while they were yet babies,
she came to pool of clear, sparkling
water Half dying with thirst, god
dess as she was, she ran toward the
pool to drink some of the cool water,
but crowd of ugly yokels surrounded
| it and kept her away.
She had up to this time borne her
privations and sufferings with patience
and resignation, but at this act of wan
ton cruelty her patience gave way and
turning furiously on the yokels she
turned them all into croaking frogs,
which they have remained to this day.

LOCAL COLOR TOO STRONG
Sunday School Girl Works Local Ho-
tel Into the Story Of
Bethlehem.

Seneca, Nemeh county, Kan, is a thriv-
ing town of almost 5000 Travellers
thereto, says the Philadelphia Press, put up
at the Clifford house, which is a real brick
hotel and is regarded by the permanent
population as the latest thing in the hos
telry line in the northeastern part of the
state. To the children of the town it is
known as ''The Hotel"
So 1t was that when a faithful Sunday
school teacher endeavored to fix on the
minds of her small pupils the story OF
the birth of Christ she described how Mary
and Joseph had come into Bethlehem on the
eve of the first Christmas and found the
inn full of guests. To make it realistic she
used the simile of the town of Seneca and
explained how it was just as though the
weary travellers had come in from the sur
rounding country at evening.
Too well she drew the picture, for one
young miss was so impressed with the
local color that when the Christmas festi-
val came and the superintendent of the
school asked for the tale of Bethlehem this
young lady started out in this fashion:
Mary and Joseph came to Bethlehem,
but the Clifford house was full"
She got no farther, however, for the
walls of the church rang with the laugh
ter of the audience, which realized that
here was local color with a vengeance.

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 81 (Specia).-
There is deep interest in Green county
over the cure of the little daughter of L. N
Whipkey of Rheumatism. She was great
sufferer for five or six years and moth
ing seemed to do her any good till she tried
Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to i'm
prove almost at once and now she is cured
and can run and play as other children do.
Mr.. Whipkey says:
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being cripple per
haps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
Rheumatism is one of the results of dis
eased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by
Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are
right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood,
and consequently no Rheumatism. ,Dodd' s
Kidney Pills make the Kidneys right.

Gods truth and should think that It did
not matter how he lived. for God would
save all mankind, the other truth ac-
companies the first, and is as follows:
Let every one that lameth the name
of Christ depart from iniquity." Lii
cense to sin is not given by the declara-
ton of the first motto of the inscription,
but rather it would imply a life of holy
living The second motto is a natural
development of the first. 1t is the plans,
the specifications, by which man Is to
build the superstructure. Here is the
foundation laid by God, Jesus Christ,
not only being that foundation
but the cornerstone as well. The first
part of the inscription reminds US of the
words of Jesus to His Heavenly Father
when He declared: "Of them that Thou
hast given Ne 1 have lost none" 1t is a
known and definite factor in the mind
of God exactly as to who belong to Him.
He knows who the builders are. His
eyes are upon those who are to rear the
superstructure on the foundation which
He has provided, and because God is as
choice and careful of the superstructure
as of the foundation He tells you and me
who are builders on that foundation just
what stately, and solid, and permanent
structure we are to rear. Nothing Of
evil, or error, is to be put there If God
can help it. And for this reason He tells
those Of us who name the name of
Christ to depart from evil" God wants
a building Of honor, and beauty, and en-
during character to grace His splendid
and everlasting foundation.
