A Japanese Leqend.

One of the prettieSt OF all the stories
relating to mirrors is that which comes
from Japan. In this man brings as
n gift to his wife mirror of silvered
bronze. Then she, having seen moth
ing of the kind before. asks in the in
nocence of her heart whose was the
pretty face smiling back at her. And
when. laughing, he tells her it is none
other than her own she wonders still
more. but is ashamed to ask further
questions. But when at last her time
comes to die she calls her little daugh-
ter and gives her the treasure she has
long kept hidden away as sacred
thing, telling her: "After 4 am dead
you must look in this mirror mornin g
and evening and you will see me. Do
not grieve." So when the mother is
dead the girl. who much resembles her,
looks in the mirror day by day, think
ing she there talks face to face with
the dead woman and never guessing
it is hut her own reflection she sees.
And it is added by the old japanese
narrator that when the girls father
learned the meaning Of this strange
conduct of hers, she thinking it to be
very piteous thing, his eyes grew dim
with tears.r

ABOUT AUTO DAY.

Under the circumstances it is =
gamble whether the committee will be
able to hold Auto Day Iext Friday OF
whether it will be necessary to post
pone it again. Should the sun come
out bright and clear tomorrow the

idea being to give the farmers bet
ter idea Of what Denison is doing and
what . desirable residence place 1t is.
The Mayor is cooperating and the
committee is proceeding on the
theory that Auto Day is to be next
Friday. Automobile owners from all
over the county have signified their
intention Of being present. The Den
ison band has been engaged to play
both morning and afternoon. the stores
will be running over with Fall Bar
gains, the moving picture show will
give Friday matinee and there will
be plenty for everyone to do. The
headquarters for the issuance of tick
cts will be at the city hall.
