RACE SOON WILL BE EXTINCT
Hairy Anus, Original Japanese, Are
Disappearing Before Spread Of
- Civilization.

Few know that the original Japan
ese were the Ainu race, race which
is fast becoming extinct. Rev. John
Bachelor, a missionary whose life
work has been among these curious
people, recounts some of his interest
ing experiences among them, the Lon
don Daily News says.
They are a simple race of people,
very docile and manageable. During
his 80 years among them he did not
experience the least perverseness
from them.
Their religion is one of nature wor-
ship, the bear being one of their prin-
cipal fetishes. The animal is special
ly reared and trained, almost every
hut containing a bear-pit in which a
bear is kept Their life is extremely
primitive. The dug-out boat, the huts,
and their crude methods of filling the
land are similar to those of the saw
age mid-African people. Though the
stature of the men averages only
about five feet, they are sturdily built,
and with their flowing boards possess
certain patriarchal dignity, that re-
minds one of the Welsh Druids.
The women adopt the peculiar fash
ion of cultivating trim mustaches
They are also addicted to the habit OF
deliberately tattooing their bodies
Their food, which mostly consists Of
rice obtained by barter from the Jap
anese, also includes whatever the
hunt may bring forth. That they are
not too fastidious in regard to theil
eatables is shown by an amusing story
told by Mr.. Bachelor.

Long VS. Short.

The Bolivar Herald, that recently
received a press shipped from
Rhode Island, is trying to solve the
problem as to why the freight rate
from Rhode Island to Chicago, a dis
lance of 1900 miles, was twenty
cents a hundred; from Chicago to
St. Louis, 270 miles, twenty cents;
and from St. Louis to Bolivar, 253
miles, sixty-two cents a hundred.
The Herald appears not to have
caught on to the fact that the short
haul by the railways makes the long
haul on the shippers pocketbook. -

And the humblest may gather the

Run thousands of miles, spreading

Are as broad as the Kingdoms and

And lakes are like oceans, in storm

Just to be helpful with willing feet,
Just to be cherry when things 90

Just to drive sadness away with

Just to be loyal to God and right;
Just to believe that God knows

Just in His promises ever to rest
Just to let love be our daily key.
This is Gods will for you and me.

Real Lady"

Last week a woman with a fancy
plaid silk waist and some other
things on. blew into this city and
put up at the Maddox boarding
house. Next morning a set of furs
was missed.
George Deimer and City Marshall
j. W. Stephens went on the hunt
for the woman and found her at
the Joe depot. When placed under
arrest she became very indignant
and informed Mr.. Stephens that
she was a real lady"
AS they were leaving the depot
platform the reporter saw the wom-
on lift her outer skirt and fondle a
large brown pocket on the black
underskirt and then drop the over
skirt and hold with the left hand,
the pocket.
The pair went to the Maddox
boarding house where the Real
Lady" was searched and of course
the swag was not found on her. for
she had fixed it so it could be
dropped at will, and she dropped it
in front of the Rogers & Thompson
store.
Then of course when searched
the swag, the furs. could not be
found and she was released.
Later, the furs were found and
returned to Mrs. Deimer.
