Oakland Tribune. August 20

Peter and John Claudianes were
placed in the upper corridor of the
jail and when seen by the repre-
sentative of the Tribune were in
the best of spirits. The gloomy and
stuffy quarters seemed to have no
effect upon their animal spirits.
After they had been placed in
their cells they doffed their outer
and heavier travelling clothing and
then came out into the corridor in
front of the cells and posed for a
photograph for the artist of the
Tribune.
Both men were delighted at an
opportunity given them to turn
down the requests of the San Fran
cisco Call and Bulletin for inter-
views and poses for pictures.

stage, she crying. and he trying to

us that she has been about to commit
suicide because of the financial ruin

The part of the woman Is played by

are no actresses, all the parts being
assumed by men. This particular
atctor is so conscientious, that, in or

The husband Is suspicious, and asks
her why she was talking with that

answer, and after a fiery scene, he
spurns her, and the curtain is drawn,

the high pitched mournful song of
some one in the distance.
Danjiro owns the finest curtain in
Japan, presented to him by the Geisha

IN A JAPANESE
THEATER
The Funny Things One Sees

Copyright, by Joseph B. BoWIes.l
The theater has always been IA
vorite form of recreation among the
Japanese; and especially beloved of
the Japanese woman, for it is her only
amusement, and the only public place
where she may accompany her hus-
band.
The theater of old Japan, with its
strutting legendary heroes, its ancient
costumes, and actors who carried their
own lanterns in order to light the ex-
pressions of their faces, is practically
a thing of the past. While many OF
the old customs still survive, modern
Inventions and appliances have been
grated upon them to the effect of pro-
ducing some startling contrasts. The
Japs, eager to grasp European ideas
and fashions, have made use of some,
but left many as they have been for
generations.
We may go at any hour, SO suppose
we start at five. On our way, we are
sure to see every characteristic of
street life. The Japanese, in their
eagerness to adopt European ways
and customs, have swallowed such a
large meal they are not able to digest
it; and no better illustration of this
can be found than their pretentious
and truly wonderful street signs AS a
specimen of English as she is Tapped,
the following, culled from a choice,
and might say, startling, collection,
is respectfully submitted. The SPELL
ing and punctuation are especially
worth noting:

An Industry Depending On Men, Not
Locality.
Mr.. John M. White, of Whitestown,
Miss, who has recently been visiting
around Alvin, writes as follows on
the above subject:
There I found the people who had
been stopped by the boil weevil from
raising cotton, taking up milk COWS,
and making a success with them. |
found some people milking as few as
four COWS, setting the milk in the old
fashioned way, getting. the cream, and
sending it to their cooperative cream
cry, who said it paid; while most of
the dairymen had from 10 to so
head of cows and were using cream
separators. I talked with a good many
of these people. They all told me that
they were getting from SIS to Sc per
month clear from each of their cows.
was at one mans place, who was
milking so cows, who told me he
was drawing $3.50 per month from the
creamery. This impressed me as be-
i
and his family doing all the work.
You may say they have better COWS
than we have here. That is not so, as
lots of their COWS have been bought
from us and they had TO take what
they could get. AS for grass, ours is
the better, since we have the cloVers
here in abundance, while most of the
grass there is broom sedge. I could
not see that they had an advantage
of us in any way, except that the peo-
pie had found good thing and were
working it for what they could get
of it, and are willing to do the work
themselves.
If our small two-horse farmers will
take UP dairying here in the South,
they can do better for themselves,
something more than making cotton
and making their farms poorer each
year. The cow will supply the only
cheap and lasting fertilizer that can
be had. do not think a farm is COM
plete or deserves the name of farm
that does not have dairy on it.
will say have always kept few
COWS that have MIXED with more or
less profit, the profit being In proper

I haze put into the business. have
always had other business to attend
to, so could not give my dairy my per-
sonal attention, and have not made

always found that When would feed
and milk my cows myself there was
no doubt about the profit, and had
money all the year round and al times
when l could not get money from any
other source. Dairy products are sell
ing high, and have been for three
years past, and good money is to be
had from the dairy for all time to
come, as lands in the northern states
have reached value of from $50 to
| $3.50 per acre, and can not be used
for dairy purposes unless the dairy
men get a good return for their pro-

Horse Talk.

Texas Farmer:
1t is not a bad idea to let horses
know that a whip is on hand, but its
frequent use is undesirable.
A few years ago we were told that
the bicycle and the electric car would
reduce the price of horses, but it was
wrong. Later we have been told that
the automobile would reduce their
price, but none of us have been able
to notice the reduction. Good horses
will always be in demand.
A good driver is worth as much
as a good horse when it comes to
pulling a load, and good driver is
one who keeps his horses under con-
troll and does not worry them by jerk
ing on the lines.
A driver should have the confidence
of his team. When he does, the work
stock will pull every time they are
told to do it. Fool drivers are often
the cause of balky horses; and when
the balky habit IS once formed, it
takes a good driver and patience to
overcome it.

Poultry Points.

Texas Farmer: ...
It is the hen with the appetite that
fills the basket.
The method of killing chickens by
sticking in the roof of the mouth SO
as to pierce the brain is growing in
favor.
The Journal Of Jamaica Agricultural
Society recommends ripe bananas as
a good morning ration for fowls.
Strange that many people who have
never launched even small hen coop,
are waiting for large ship to come
in.
A large amount of poultry is con.
sumed by the Orthodox Jews who will
not use meat of any kind unless it
is killed by certain method under
the direction of the rabbi. Each large
market has its slaughter house where
this part of the slaughtering is done.
is not so, disastrous.
1t is the early Matched pullet that
makes the early layer for next winter.
The more hens set early the more
winter layers there will be, if the
right kind, and if the chicks have the
right care.
A farmer can add very much to
his fiock's value, even when a mixed
variety, by buying good rooster. The
cock should be of the same variety
as the largest number of hens. The
poorest hens may be weeded out when
through laying.
It is not enough to do things. We
must know why we do them. Then
we know whether to keep on with
the same method or change.
There is no danger in keeping the
poultry house too clean and sweet.
Whitewash and disinfect every time
there is nothing else to do. and don't
let it go too long when there is plenty
to do.
The discouraged man is apt to
Judge too quickly and too harshly. 1t

An electric heater has been devised

than a lamp.
In using incubators, several small
ones are better than one large one,

Blessings of the Blind.

The calamity of the blind is inl-
mense, irreparable. But it does not
take away our share of the things that
count-service, friendship, humor, i'm
agination, wisdom 1t is the secret
inner will that controls ones fate. We
are capable of willing to be good, of
loving and being loved, of thinking
to the end that we may be wiser.
We possess these spirit-born forces
equally with all Gods children. There
fore, we, too, see the lightnings and
hear the thunders of Sinai. We, too,
march through the wilderness and the
solitary place that shall be glad for
US, and as we pass God maketh the
desert to blossom like the rose. We,
too, go in unto the Promised Land to
possess the treasures of the spirit, the
unseen permanence of life and nature.

A square built house style that is

shown in this design. The size on
the ground is "a by 80 feet, which is
from two to four feet shorter than
most houses built on this plan, still
the number and size of rooms is quite
satisfactory. The saving in room is
partly gained by building the stair

You can waste whole lot of room in
building a stairway, or you can put
up one like this in a very compact

cheaper way to get into the cellar.
Builders often forget that they must
