china,s unweicome Guest.
KANSAS

China has troubles of its own, and
one of them is the presence in that
country of the Dalai Lama, the head
of the Buddhist faith, whose tradition
al home is in the sacred city of
Lhassa in Tibet Several years ago
when a British expedition forced its
way to and into the holy city the Dalai
Lama gathered his voluminous skirts
about him, assembled a big and
gorgeous retinue, shook the dirt of
the town from hfs sandals and set out
for regions where his privacy would
not be disturbed. He took refuge in
northern China, and he has been on
Chinese soil ever since. Apparently
ne has conceived liking for travel,
for he has moved about a great deal,
his latest procedure being a ceremo-
NOUS visit to Peking, where of course
he was received by the imperial au-
thorities as became his state and his
position in the religious world But 1t
seems that the Chinese government is
getting little tired of the visitor. 1t
was all very well to have him as an
honored guest for short time, but he
has manifested strong Decentralization
to return to his home. What makes
matters worse is that the hundreds of
retainers who follow him about are a
rather unpleasant lot. A Picking dis
patch describes them as "a wild, dis
orderly, unkempt-looking crew, giving
no impression of their religious afhlia-
tions." AS they live on the country,
insist on being well cared for and are

MUTILATION OF STAMPS
If the Corner is Torn Of, No Matter
How Small the Stamp is
Worthless.

A new order in the postoffice de-
partment went into effect this week
and it should be noted By the people
in general.
BY the terms OF the new order a
defaced stamp Is hereafter worthless.
Should a corner be torn off, no matter
how small, or the stamp be mutilated
In any other way, 1t cannot be longer
used. ALI letters bearing such stamps
will hereafter be held at the local Of
fee two weeks for recovery, and at
the end Of suchsa period. If not claim
ed, will be sent to the dead letter Of
fee
Another phase OF the order is also
interesting. Permission Is now given
individuals to perforate the stamps
they use with reasonably small in
strument for identification purpoes.
Such step Is intended to prevent the
sending OF anonymous letters or the
theft or mutilation of private mail OF
any nature.
