THE CRAFTSMAN's LIFE AND LOT
IN JAPAN.

When, for humanity at large, the no
dule of unknown Japan was knocked
open by the diplomatic hammers of
Commodore Perry and Townsend Har
ris, the sparkle of the crystals within
surprised the world. Here were things
of form, color, beauty, that had taken
ages to grow. Such results could have
been evolved only through centuries of
steady operation.
When again, in 1894, the mighty
bubble of great China's military repu-
tation was pricked by the Mikado's
bayonets, the world again wondered
at the academic nicely of organization.
Now, in 1905, when colossal Russia's
craft and power by land and sea lie
humbled before the whilom puny ia
pan, the worlds breath is taken away
How was it done? asks the critic who
thought he knew. Yet we who worked
night and day, and shoulder to Shout
der with the Japanese thirty-five years
ago "to relay the foundations of the
empire" are not and cannot be sur
prised.
Three great elements of power make
up the island nations impact in war
and the same have made and will
make her great in peace. Alas, that
the world noted these less than the
slaughter and the sinking! Each of
these potencies is embodied in class
The educated brain, the trained hand
the hardy and willing reserve of raw
force rightly disciplined, are in the
samurai, the craftsman, the peasant
respectively; or, in the mobiles and gen
try, the skilled workers, and the indus
trious sons of the soil.
Yet to all things there is a begin
ming. There was a time when there
was no Japanese nation, but only un
related tribes Of various origin, moi
even so much as agglomerated in one
state of commonwealth. The nea
house of today was then but an Ainu
or aboriginal hut Not until the sixth
century did a unifying political system
exist or were letters or writing known
and not till then did the Buddhist re
ligion-nurse of Japanese art ant
mother of Japanese civiliZation-eXer
it's beneficent power. From the sixth
to the eleventh century the armies O
the supreme Yamato tribe, with its
chief, the Mikado, were busy in subdu
ing all tribes to obedience. The mis-
sionaries of Buddhism brought al
minds in subsection to the gentle spiri
of lord Buddha (of Aryan BIRTH, ant
then, and not till then, was there ;
Japanese nation-mixture of many peo
pies moulded and unified after ont
model. The Japanese and the English
both island peoples, and now in ALI
ance, were born about the same TIM
and are of the same age-young, full
of energy, life and hope.

invention. Today, art and beauty are
in Japan to stay for ages!
Craft rises into genuine art when
compassion confronts traditional Gus
tom. OF old, when the chief lord of
the clan died, retainer and servant
must give up their lives in order to
keep company with him. Such was
archaic custom not alone in Nippon but
also in many civilizations, notably that
of the Romans and of our Scandinavian
fathers. In Japan, the living were bur
led to their necks in the earth around
the masters tomb. Besides hunger
and cold, the wild beast and bird made
tragedy after starvation. Against this
horror, Nomi no Tsukune, potter and
artist at command of the Mikado,
made reform. In place of flesh and
blood he moulded clay in images OF
human form. Thus, instead of the
groans of the dying, was the silent ter

was history there was art Dig up the
pottery of Yamato Central JAPAN and
put it's originals beside those of the
Asian continent and one quickly notes
the difference. The spell of beauty is
over even the island shard. Oldest of
all, the legends and centuries before
text or writing, is the variegated story,
as rich in texture as gold brocade, of
the Sun Goddess and her maidens
weaving dainty fabrics; of her loom de-

cause She Wouldn't Dance
With Him.

Mt. Sterling, KY, Dec. ga pro
badly fatal tragedy occurred at a
dance in this city which may result in
the death of Mrs. Florence Watson,
wife of Henry Watson, a prominent
lawyer.
John Flaherty, one of the dancers,
asked Mrs. Watson to dance with
him, and upon her refusal, he pulled
pistol and fired over his brothers
shoulder. The bullet struck the wo-
man in the back just above the cor
set, and imbedded itself under the
skin near the breast bone, going
through the body.
Flaherty was arrested and lodged
In jail.
Doctors we're hastily summoned,
and pronounced Mrs. Watson in a
critical condition, with little hope for
recovery. Flaherty's friends claim
that he attempted to kill Watson,
when the bullet struck Mrs. Watson
by accident.

Some operators stationed at import

than train orders are taken. This
scale is presented to the road and
generally adopted as it is merely a

FUNERAL TODAY
OF MIR. DE WITT c. NEWMAN, AT.
JACKSON, TENN.
He Died Suddenly .:na II Was the
Second stroke I'm a Few
Months.

The funeral of the late De Witt c.
Newman, son-in-law of Prof. ii. F..
Lyon, took place from the residence
at Jackson, Tenn, this afternoon at
$3.50 p. m, Revs. w. w. Adams ana
w. A. Freeman officiating.
Yesterdays Jackson Sun says:
shortly after o'clock last night
Mr.. DE Witt c. Newman, of 524 Hays
avenue, suffered a stroke of apoplexy
and though everything that the ply
sicians. could do. was done for his re-
lief. he never recovered conscious,
ness and at half past o'clock life
became extinct.
Several months since Mr.. New
man had an attack somewhat similar
TO the one which proved fatal on last
evening, but not nearly so severeand
although he has not been so robust
since then. no danger was apprehen-
ded. The suddenness Of his death was
appalling. He was apparently In his
usual health and his being cut down
without a moments warning was a
terrible shock not only 10 his wife
and family. but his friends. and 1t is
hard to realize that the strong and
vigorous and genial De Witt Newman
has passed from our midst forever
and that "the places which knew him
shall know him no more"
"Mr. Newman was born at New
Market. East Tennessee, on the 10th
of December. 1856. and was 40 years
of age this month. His parents NOV
ed to Medina when he was quite
young and he was raised at that
place. He was twice married, first
TO Miss Gillian, of the Claybrook
vicinity. and after her. death to Miss
Zetta May Lyon, OF Paducah. KY.
who with two children. Bess and Lii
lie May. survive him. He also leaves
two brothers, James Newman. OF
Norwood, this county, and Charles
Newman, of Sloan, Ark. and two
sisters, Mrs. Ford Blackmon, OF Me-
dina. and Mrs. Mamie Young, OF
Bolivar"

daughter, Miss Corinne, are the only
ones from Paducah who attended.

CAPT. GILLIGAN
Is SAID TO NOW BE WANTED By
OTHER CL-yS.
He Is Held I'm Reserve by Paducah
and II il Not Known What He
Will DO.

Reports are going the rounds
among local baseball fans that Ed
die GilligaD, captain OF the Paducah
team last season, is sought by Cairo
trying TO get the services of Gilligan
but Paducah has him bound up with
a contract, which had the reserve
clause in It and unless Manager
Lloyd releases or sells him he will
be with Paducah II Gilligan does not
play independent ball.
The latter part Of last season Gill
ligan jumped the team at Vincennes
and came here, later going to his
home in Ohio. There was some frici
ton between Manager Lloyd and
Captain Gilligan which was not set
tied and IL is not known whether or
not the heady captain will play with
Paducah the coming season.. He was
undoubtedly one of the best men that
Paducah ever had. 1t was largely
his quick judgment and knowledge
of the game that led the team to vic
tory. He could also play any posi-
ton on the infield. Nearly all the
season he held down first base, but
in case of an emergency was shifted
to second, third and shortstop, all
of which places he held with credit.
There is considerable discussion OF
baseball just now, although it is sew
eral months before the season starts

such a way that it illustrates some

equivocal situations, and tests her

way as to bring home her qualities OF
