A QUEER PEOPLE.
Manners and Customs Of the Hairy
Anus Of Y.Zo.


Ainus Of Y.zo.
Among the least known people Of
the world today are the hairy Anus
Of the island of Yezo. A traveller
says Of them: ''The men grow great
boards, OF which theysare excessively
proud, ard their bodies are thickly
covered with hair, almost like mem
bers of the monkey tribe. The wo-
men grow no hair on their faces,
but seem to find solace for this
imaginary defect in tattooins MS
taches on their lips and often prim-
tive designs on their hands and
arms and also across their fore
heads. Young unmarried women
have very little tattooing on thsmy
but once a woman is married her
husband seems to take pride in
decorating his bride with repre-
sentations of hirsute adornment~
The modus operandi is one which
requires considerable fortitude ON
the part of the patient, since the
crudest form of tatteeing is adopt
ed. This consists Of making num-
Der of incisions in the skin with the
point of a knife. y characteristic
of the Ainu race is the color of thei,
skin, which is Of u deep bronze or
copper color, and ip nowise resem-
bles any other of the oriental races,
but is more like that Of the Ameri-
can Indians.
E'The Anus have no records, writ
ten or otherwise, Of their former
history nor of how and whence they
came to inhabit the ISLAND of Iezo.
Legends, however, exist among Ger
tain of the Anus to she effect that
many years ago Iczo was inhabited
BY race OF diminutivs' people who
were conquered and apparently ex-
terminated BY the Iin,rs- These
people were called bw the Anus
koro- -pok-kuru, or pit dwel!ers, ow-
ing to their habit of living in huts
constructed over a form of rectan-
gular, circular or oval shaped pit,
many traces OF which are still found
in Yezo and the Kurire islands. 4
few years ago the present writer
also discovered on the Ber;ng sea-
coast Of Alaska some perfect re-
mains Of pit lweilers' village,
which is quite unlike any settle
ments made today By the Eskimo or
Aleut natives of Alaska
"The Anus claim that at some
remote period they we're themselves
the inhabitants OF. some far north
ern country. and as evidence Of this
they cite their hairy bodies. They
say, why, if We did not come from
q cold country, should We need to
have skins like bear" 1t Is pos
sible that they did migrate south
ward from the shores Of the Bering
sea either by the way Of the Aleu-
tan islands or along the coasts OF
Kamchatka and the Kuriles.
'Iike certain other northern
races, the Anus have no religion.
They have no knowledge of su-
preme being and no belief in . fu-
ture state. Mr.. Landor, who ques-
toned many natives on various sub
jects, was once scornfully told by
one of them that the Anus are
taught nothing and they know moth

state in which they live. Chicago

MIDNIGHT Battle

occurred in front about midnight
between some walters and d. e.
Jaeger and Mike Estree, railroad
men, in which the latter were bad

bricks propelled by the walters.
Both wounded men were patched
up in the emergency hospital and
then allowed to go to their homes
The men, with two women were
in Pfister's place, where they first
met the walters. They would not
inform the police as to the real
cause of the combat, but 1t is sus-
pected by the officers that the
walters endeavored to take the
women from the men.
Before the officers reached the
scene of battle the walters had

PRETTY CASHIER
PLAYED RACES.

SAN FRANCISCO, May s.-Jo-
Isephine l.. Brown, the pretty CASH
Ter of T.. Friedlander & Sons, Is
wanted by the police. Her en-
plOyer swore to warrant charg-
ing her with embezzlement AL
though the complaint states that
the pretty cashier took only $40,
Friedlander told Judge Cabaniss,
who issued the warrant, that Miss
Brown was short in her accounts
between $4,000 and $4,000.
The merchant declared that the
races had strong attraction for
the young woman and that she had
become quite a plunger.
Miss Brown, it is reported, was
decided favorite with one of the
Friedlander sons until recently,
and it was rumorei that an en-
gagement had existed. They quar-
relied, however, and her friends say
the charges against her are the re-
suit of spite upon the part of the
family.
