Bows Nav Festival,

Long before the arrival of the day,
ing toys and banners, while in every
yard and in front of the houses long
bamboo poles are set up. When the
day arrives the boys tie their paper
fishes, flags and streamers to the rope
hanging from the top of the pole, and
pull them up. These paper fishes are
made hollow so that the breeze may
pass through the wide opening of the
mouth and initiate the body, making it
round like a real fish. The paper is
painted either red or black to repre-
setn red or black carp. The fishes
are of different sizes, ranging from a
foot to three or four yards long
Some of the bamboo poles have as
many fishes on them as there are
boys in the house; often each fish rep
resents one of the boys of the family.
When there is a strong spring
breeze the air entering through the
mouth initiates the bodies of the fishes,
swings them from side to side and
makes them flap their tails, SO that
they look as if they are in their own
element-are swimming in a stream
1t is a pretty sight to see from a
housetop a great number of them
floating in the air all over city. To
other bamboo poles flags are attached,
and these have pictures of warriors
and heroes in Japanese history and
legends painted on them.-Genjiro

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

It's very strong friendship that
can survive intimacy.
Some men expect you to do favor
for them as if they were doing it for
you.
One reason a man likes to drink is
the doctor tells him it's bad for his
health.
Shaving yourself is very good
practice at being one of the best
swearers.
After a man has had his engage
ment broken off he can afford even
an automobile.
A man makes as much fuss over
doing his duty as boy over getting
a tooth pulled
A woman feels she isn't loyal to her
husband unless she fibs about all the
money he makes.
When man is making all sorts of
faces at himself in a mirror he usually
isn't crazy, only shaving.
It's hard for girl to take as much
AAtChOSS III yOuA lOfC LudhiA6 IL ohO
suspects you mean it.
If man that a girl is in love with
asks policeman where a street is
she calls him strong and brave.
A girls idea of being bold is to for
get to look daggers at a man who
gives her his seat in street car.
You can generally figure out some
how what man means by what he
says unless he is running for Office.
You can't make a woman believe
there is any real trouble in the world
on the first afternoon she wears her
new hat.
There's hardly anything In the
world excites a woman more than to
have somebody call her up on the tele-
phone when she is away and not
leave word who it was.-From Re
Elections of Bachelor" in the New
York Press.

From reports received and tabulat-
ed at the Department of Agriculture
and Commerce up to date, the showing
to be made by Mississippi as meat
producing state will be highly salts
factory indeed. Several counties have
gone above the million pound mark,
notably Lafayette with 1,360,315.
pounds, Montgomery with 1,O5S,667
pounds and Union with 1,248,521
pounds. While it is very likely that
other counties will show up with larg-
er amounts, these three give something
of an idea of the amount of hog and
hominy produced in Mississippi. This
being the first year that the gathering
of such statistics has been attempted,
and with the reluctance with which
some people gave them in, it is
possible that even these figures do
not do the counties full justice. Sup
pose that each county in the stats
produced million pounds of meat,
had a thought been given as to what
that alone would mean in dollars and
centsq 1t would aggregate in the
neighborhood of eight million dollars.
And it is believed that this figure IS
pretty nearly. correct. Quite a fine
showing indeed.

DESTROYED By Fire.

A destructive fire occurred at Luce
dale which caused the complete loss Of
the extensive saw mill and a large
quantity of lumber ready for ship
ment the property of the Kansas City
Lumber Company. 1t is not known
how the fire originated, but when dis
covered it was burning iercely in the
center Of the structure. Strenuous ef-
forts Of employees and citizens saved
the large planning mill and extensive
sheds from the flames. The total loss
is not definitely known but it is es.
timated at from $4,000 to $4,000,
partially covered by insurance. A
large number of men are thrown out

Eagles Carry Off Lambs.

Considerable trouble is being en-
countered by the sheepmen of Amer
lean Canyon in protecting their fiocks
against the depredations of three
enormous eagles, which have de-
stroyed scores of lambs under the
very eyes of the herders.
A man employed on the P. Lynch
ranch, near Cordelia, witnessed two
of the birds kill four lambs before he
was given an opportunity of procur-
ing shotgun. The sheepmen have
practically exterminated the coyotes,
but will probably find more implac-
able foe in the eagle.-Sacramento

The CASTLE OF woMAN's FAITH
FuLNEsS.
A Ballad.

Wherever German songs are sung
With German heart and German tongue,
Is known the castle proud and tall
That "Woman's Faithfulness" they call
And, like its name, tbs built Of rock
To stand for ay the tempest shock,
But, softening its stern repose,
This legend like it's ivy grows
When. time was young and men were
brave
And knights did hold the word they gave.
And ladies were as true as fair,
A mighty German burg stood there.
Against it rode host of steel,
Whose leader, king from head to heel,
Was Kaiser Konrad, fair of fame,
The first of Hohenstaufen name.
Then sword and ak dealt stroke on stroke,
On casque, stout lances clashed and
On hard fought field at set Of sun.
The Kaiser stood, his fight well won.
But dearly purchased was his land,
His men lay dead on every hand,
His faithful men lay in their blood.
Then swore in rage the Kaiser good:
"All foes who in yon castle fight
Shall perish, be they churl or knight;
In blood of my own men Is writ
The doom of those who wasted II.
Il
AS knight, / give the ladies grace;
Their treasures may they take, whate er
Upon their own backs they can bear.
The Kaiser spake, the women heard:
Now sacred is his knightly word
That life and treasure us accords:
Upon our backs bear we our lords!
The castle gate swung open wide,
Then clambered down the mountalnslde
The women at the kings behest
Each bore the one she loved the best.
The warriors laughed, but conquered foe
Should not escape their anger so;
Duke Friedrich swore in bitter mood,
Nov Stay them all, the treach' rous
broodi'
And grasped his hilt; then Konrad spake:
HE dies who would my promise break!
The ladies and their lords go free:
A Kaiser's word shall sacred be-"
OF olden times, when men were brave
And knights did hold the word they gave,
And ladies were as true as fair,
This ancient burg doth witness bear.
