Saint Maru's Beacon



The large estates and great farms
and ranches all over the United
States are from year to year being
divided up into small farms, which
are cultivated by owners or tenants
livingupon them. The tendency
Of this condition here is greater than
In any other country in the world.
In q recent address upon small
land owners at a st. Louis Ex-
position gathering, it was well
said that II we educate the people
70 use the land themselves and en-
Joy 10, they will get the land, be-
cause the man who lives on his
own land will make profit from it
by his own labor and not be the
purveyor Of the product Of the labor
Of others. The very fact that there
are large numbers Of men ready to
take the land and till 1t by their own
labor, and get their living from 1t,
and know how to do it, will make II
practically impossible TO compete
with them in the production OF crops
raised with hired labor. That fact
alone will necessarily regulate the
price OF land, SO that we need neveI
fear land monopoly in this country
under such conditions. The big
farmer " no hires his labor can moi
stand the competition OF the small
farmer who lives an his own land
and farms Il with his own labor

SEX REVEALED IN COUGHS

 dWeller on the Sub feet.

Mrs. Flatdweller has bad cold: one of those long, lingering colds; and lately she has had, to add to her dis comforts, some coughing spells; and MT. Flatdweller has tried to be very sympathetic; and when he hears somebody coughing in the flat over- head he says:
 Hello, there's somebody coughing upstairs, now"
 Man or woman?" says Mrs. Fiat dweller.
 Man or Voman?" repeats MT. Flat dweller, why, how should I know?" And he adds with what is intended to be pleasant good humor: q cant see through the ceiling and the floor, you know"
 You don't have to-" Mrs. Flatdwel- Ter says. T should think you could tell by the sound of the cough; they don't cough anything at all alike"
 "They don't?" says the astonished Mr. Flatdweller whats the differ ence?" and then says Mrs. Flatdwel- Ter:
 Why, one coughs with mans voice and the other coughs with a woman's voice."
 And at that MT. Flatdweller said nothing aloud; but he said to himself that that was the first time he ever knew that the sex of an unseen cough CT could be told by the sound of the cough

In my brief stay in the little mining camp of Tail-holt, Friskiyou county, California, it was my fortune to make the acquaintance of Mr Peter Walker, guide, prospector, hunter and racon- teur. Grizzly Pete,'' as he was called, told me several stories of his expert ences, after l had won his confidence by disposition to distribute, as re- garded tobacco, and a willingness to 1mbibe, as regarded certain intoxi- cants. MT. Walkers stories, some of them, seemed to me to be trifle open to criticism, as far as veracity is concerned, so in selecting the tale of his adventure with old Stub-Foot"
 And so," said Grizzly Pete to me one windy autumn day, and so you'd like to hear about old 'Stub-foot?' l acquiesced.
 "Got any chewin'?" inquired Pete"
 l silently shunted him a plug of navy. Biting off in the neighborhood of three and one-half inches of this, he said: Well, I reckon there never was sech bear hunt before nur after wards. This here feller that went out with me after 'Stub-foot' had heard of this bear there back east, and he'd made up his mind fer to

 I suppose if they wanted to bid anyone good night" they would say Philadelphia.
 But did try to learn something about the Japanese money and it's va rious divisions, only I had bad luck from the start. 1 got hold of the wrong customer, or else he did.
 I started in to buy some sandals and hat. I know that one yen, at par, is worth almost exactly 50 cents American money, and that ten rin go to a sen, and 100 sen to a yen. But the old man who waited on me either knew no more than I did, or was ex- plotting some new and original meth ods of his own; for he held up the sandals in one hand and the hat in the other the while he ejaculated in low guttural: Mon! mon!"
 "Oh, yes! I gotta da mon!" I re- piled, pulling out my purse. and spreading some Japanese coins in my palm.
 But he shook his head and held up his forefinger, saying: "Shy!"

she may be young and charming, the widows hair is cut off, and she is doomed for the rest of her life to single blessedness and cropped head. An old-time custom, which is fortu- nately dying out, was to blacken a woman's teeth when she got married. So it was hard to tell which was most disfguring- getting a husband or losing one. Every district has it's own distinctive marriage ceremony, but the following is the one in gen. eral use:
 No priest officiates at the marriage ceremony. An elderly couple, called the o-betweens," conduct the court ship and assist the bride and groom to perform the rite that makes them man and wife, which consists of nine cups of wine drunk alternately by the bride and groom, who hand them to each other. This is called the "san-san-kudo," literally three three-nine," and means that they will share the bitter and the sweet in life's cup together.
 Sometimes there are the images of an old man and woman, a couple who lived happily for hundred years; also bough of plum-blossoms, sym bol of conjugal happiness.
 The bride wears white, the mourn ing color in Japan, to signify that her old life is ended-for marriage is too often sort of death-in-life to the ,;,,t,, |, slave of her mother-in-law, and must live only for her husbands family, who exact from her the most abject submission. She marries at 16 and begins a life of drudgery that makes her an old woman at 30 or 35, and her only gleam of hope in life lies in her having sons who will marry and place her in the envied position of mother in-law.
 The flowing veil of the western bride is, for the Japanese woman, a large hood made of white wadding, that modestly shades her features. When the ceremony-which is never witnessed by the guests-is completed, she retires and changes her costume; for the wedding kimono once doffed, is never worn again.
 When she is re-dressed, she appears at the feast to which guests are bid den. Very wealthy brides retire be- tween each course-sometimes there are nine, sometimes seven or eleven, regular game of craps!-and re- appear in more gorgeous raiment, un- til you begin to think there's corner in kimonos.
 When the feasting is over, the "go- between" couple conducts them to the bridal chamber and serves them spe- cial cup called the 'bedwine." Dur ing the marriage ceremony the bridal pair do not drink the nine cups of wine, but merely touch their lips to the cup; for the well-known potency of the sake would have them par alyzed by about the fifth cup, and they'd never & married at all.

NOT THE RIGHT KIND.
Something Wrong with Hen Tbbles'
 Quality of Pluck.

Quality of Pluck.
 You needn't tell me that pluck al ways wins out" said Uncle Josh There's Hen Tibbles. Look at him. Amt a pluckier man than him round here-and yet what has he got to show for it? Pluck? Why, when he gifts started on a thing he never lets up.
 "T'other day I was over to his place when one of the cows got into his corn patch and commenced eating and tromping down corn.
 "'Consarn her. says Hen, I'm just goin' to stay here and see how long it'll be afore she gets all she wants and goes out the way she got in
 Thar he sot, hour after hour, never giving in to her-and after awhile she saw she'd met her match and began to weaken.
 She ct all she could hold and then she tromped down pretty nigh half an acre more, but still he sot thar.
 It come to be dusk fin'ly, and still Hen was standing by. Then the old COW saw it want any use for her to try to make on that she was plucky as he was She gave in complete-wentb back to the pasture, laid down, bloated up and died.
 Hens been waiting weeks now for his potatoes to dig themselves, and he says if they can stan it he can.
 "Pluck! He's got enough for ten men. But somehow, with all his pluck, he ain't ever caught on, s ye might say. He ain't got ahead Sos I'm tellin' ye, there's something more'n jes' pluck needed for man to get ahead in this world"

kill him CT git killed hisself. His name, the feller's, not the bears, was De Pyster, rhymes with oyster.
 Well, sir, he showed up here one afternoon in the Mariposa stage, and he gifts off and asks fer me. Some O the boys hunts me up, and we git to talkin' bear right away. And he tells me eff I can git him where he can kill old 'Stub-foot,' and prove be- yond any doubt that he was the feller that done it, he will pay me $2,500 in gold. Yes, sir, he has a bet on with some fellers on east that stands him to win $5,000 if he gifts 'Stub-foot,' and he's willin' to put up half of his prospective winnin's to git the bear.
 50 I agrees to be ready to start at noon the next day and he turns in to the little shack they calls a hotel, and 1 come back to my shanty to lay my plans. Now I knowed where to find this here old 'Stub-foot,' and if my man has got gun that can kill him, and can shoot straight enough, there won't be any trouble about gettin' him. But about provin that he did it, that was what got me- So I comes down town, and goes to a little dried up feller they was ill camp named Gregg, a lawyer, a most powerful cute critter he was, and he agreed to fur nish ever thing sos to prove that my man kills old 'Stub-foot eff he does kill him, beyond all reasonable doubt, low | need him, and a shorthand reporter. the one he has in his office, and a pie ture gallery feller Ga photograph man, and me, to do the job He agreed to take the case on what he called an astringent fee.
 '.So the next day I takes my outfit over to De Pyster, and l says, Here's my lawyer, and here's my shorthand reporter, and here's my photograph feller, and here's three burros to pack the camp outfit and grub When'H you be ready?' And this here feller he sort O takes a reel long breath, and he says, All these fer a bear hunt?' And says, On the advice of my lawyer An he says. You're the doctor, Mir Walker, I'm here to obey orders.
 So we gets out in the mountains and begins to climb. Old 'Stub-foot' he lived up so high in the ranges that the miners there used to put the ore out on the mountains and let the spring avalanches take it down to the smelters in the valley; no railroad CT pack train bein' able to git in to where they wuz; an they got their provisions and stuff in by way of trained eagles, same as these here carrier pigeons is learned to carry mail
 ''So one day we got to where old 'Stuh foot ranged, and sort O got

his bearings. So De Pyster he prac- ticed little with his gun one mornin' It was the most powerful shootin'-iron I ever seen. an he was knockin' of the peaks from along the mountain ranges inside the first few miles till l stopped him from spilin' so much scenery. So he quit that an begins to blow up a few new canyons with his steel-p inted bullets fer a change. It was a master powerful shootin' gun, that there rifle of his wuz Well, that evening he blots out the front part of bull elk, as easy as a new blotter would lap up blot of ink as my law yer said, and we planted the carcass out where old 'Stub-foot would be sure to see it at daybreak.
 There was a few scrubby pine7 around, and when We got out at day break the next day De Pyster had his rife, this here shorthand man had his note book, the picture man had his machine all fixed, and my lawyer had all sorts of affidavids ready, and dyin' declaration fer the bear to sign, purvidin De Pyster didn't blow his head off the first shot. l want to say right here that this here lawyer of mine was certainly the most thought ful cuss l ever did see.
 Well sir, we wasn't more'n 15 minutes hid in the pine scrub before here comes old 'Stub-foot' growlin' like thunderstorm, and he looked like he was perty nigh as big as an ele- phant. There wuzn't no doubt he was the one, and three of his claws on his left iore-foot was gone, count of his gittin' ketched in trap once. So the minute we sees him, the lawyer, the shorthand man and me we climbs trees, the lawyer gittin' the best tree and climbin' higher up than any of us. The picture man of course he had to stay on the ground to git the pictures of the scrimmage, and De Pyster had to be there to do the shootin'. So the picture man, as was a dead-game proposition as ever I see, he's all ready and peekin' out from his curtain, and he gifts one pie ture as old 'Stub-foot' takes a bite out of the bull elks carcass. Then this here De Pyster ups an blazes away, and fer some reason he only wounds old 'Stub-foot,' who immejitly drops
