Worn and haggard, his unshayeE

of intense application, the leader Of
the little band Of insurgents which

through one of the most dramat
periods in its history, made this de-

Washington, March l9.-At II min
utes before o'clock last night the
house of representative adjourned UNI
til noon today, after one of the great
est parliamentary struggles in it's
history. The result is nothing more
nor less than a drawn battle. When
the final roll call came, 164 republi-
cans voted to postpone further action
on the Norris amendment until today,
and $50 democrats and insurgent re-
publicans voted to continue. With the
regular republicans voted IA of tie
insurgent following of Norris, of Ne
braska, who left him and sided with
the majority for postponement. The
result, they said, conveyed no signif-
canoe, and meant anything else than
that they had deserted the insurgnt
cause.
The mll in the long battle came
with apparent welcome to both sides,
although there was no cheer Of vic
tory from either When the speaker
put the motion to adjourn a general
chorus of ayes came from the repub-
lean side. The democrats made no
protest and there was no answer to
the cali for the noes.
The house for the first time in the
present session had almost it's full
membership on the floor. When the
speakers gavel fell the members rose

not only lively, but noisy. Turning a

The word tori means bird. The fes.

easily forget it. Here, for instance, is
booth which seems to display moth
Ing but fans; but behind the fans is
the framework of the simple rake.
These fans always have as their CEN
trail decoration the mask or face of
the curious goddess Otafuku, or
Uzume - the "abundant-happiness
woman" She is always represented
with narrow forehead, with two
spots of black, and with broad face
and pulled out cheeks. The story runs
that on one occasion the sun goddess
was so offended that she took refuge
in dark and dismal cave, the mouth
of which was closed, by great rock
which no one could move. The other
gods-for at that time there were no
humans-were in despair. They de-
vised various schemes for appeasing
the angered goddess. Finally. as part
of the arranged plan, Uzume danced.
1t is stated that her dancing was far
from modest. but it pleased the spec
tators, who roared with laughter. This
piqued goddess, hearing sounds of Joy,
and anxious to see what was going on,
slightly moved the closed rock and
looked out. Instantly a strong-armed
god seized the rock thus started, and
held it from closing; the sun goddess,
yielding to the prayers of her COM
panions, issued again from her retreat,
and the worlds happiness was Sc
cured. Uzume is thus ever symbol
of happiness, but on her fans there is
other symbolism; there are the two
great gods. Daikoku and Ebisu-the
gods of wealth and productivity;
there are the three happy plants-the
plum, the pine, and the bamboo; there
is the stork flying high in heaven,
and there is the mushroom "best of
foods" and intimately associated with
Uzume in the popular mind. With
such kumade. who could fail to have
prosperous year? But if ones taste
is otherwise, he has varied possibili.
