ARTISTIC JAPAN.


HumbIest Homes.
By far the greatest charm Of Japan
and her people lies not only in the
fact that the artists know the secret
of the most wonderful carvings, cast
ings, wood and metal work. silken
brocades and tapestries. exquisite clof-
sonnes and porcelains. things for the
fortunate few. but also In the further
and more important fact that the
daily life of the poor is surrounded.
permeated, interfused by taste and re-
finement. Even the workmen in their
gardens and homes are daily using
tasteful domestic implements which
are the outgrowth of the thought and
needs of the people.
The designs and proportions Of the
humblest houses. exteriors and inte-
riors are settled for all time by GER
tain rules of harmony; the dress of the
peasant is not left to possible hideous
individual caprice, but follows estaD-
lished canons of color. cut and usage;
the garden, however small, the fence
or paling that walls it in, the roof
over the WELL over the gate, the great
lantern that hangs by the door, the
bucket in which water is fetched and
the bamboo dipper from which it is
poured, the bronze brazier for GOALS
the tea service-all these and a thou
sand more details of daily life are ar
ranged according to pattern which
may be very old, but which. as re
suit, adds immeasurably to the salts
faction of life.
And yet japanese craftsmen, while
holding hard by tradition. have nN'
failed to add to their work the subtle
touch of personality. In the motifs OF
their delicately impressionistic and
symbolical designs is constantly seen
their reverence for the early masters
and as constantly is perceived the in
dividual variation which prevents eact

At a literary and scientific gathering
q learned Greek scholar got into con-

mathemattcians of the day and appar-

again and again exquisite lines from
Homer from the original, and the
sonorous words rolled off his tongue
in fine style. After awhile, noticing
that his audience, the man of figures,
made no remark. he paused and said
in a questioning tone Of wonder:

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About the Food

When there's no relish to any food
and all that one eats doesn't seem to
do any good then is the time to make
a turn over in the diet, for that's Ma
ture's way of dropping a hint that the
food isn't the kind required.
For number of years l followed
railroad work, much of it being office
work of a trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is
commonly served in hotels and res
taurants. these together with the
sedentary habits were not long IN
giving me dyspepsia and stomach
trouble which reduced my weight
from 2O5 to 100 pounds.
"There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good. 1t seemed the more l ate the
poorer I got and was always hungry
before another meal, no matter how
much had eaten.
"Then | commenced a fair trial OF
Grape-Nut food, and was surprised
how a small saucer of it would carry
me along, strong and with satisfied
appetite, until the next meal, with nc
sensations of hunger, weakness or dis
tress as before.
81 have been following this diet nov
for several months and my improve
ment has been so great all the others
in my family have taken up the use o
Grape-Nuts with complete satisfaction
and much Improvement in health ant

hurriedly, have lots of worry, thu
hindering digestion and therefor'
need a food that is predigested ant
concentrated in nourishment."

No CHEAP
ADVOCATE
TOUCHES UP TAXPAYERS FOR
$1,000 FOR SERVICES IN
STAFFORD CASE.

w. c. Donovan, special prosecu-
tor against Poor Farm Superinten-
dent w. M. Stafford in the famous
indictment and emhezzlement case,
drew down exactly $1,000 this morn
ing for his "bit" in the proceedings.
The bill for the one thousand
simoIeons was presented to Judge
n. L. kennan this morning, accom-
panied by a modest explanation of
the size of the fee. the order for
the money was signed, and the
auditor instructed to draw a check
for that amount.
Although the Stafford trial last
ed little more than a day, with the
prosecution losing out because of
its failure to file the correct
charge against the indicted official
Donovan sets forth that he labored
long and necessarily upon the case
since his appointment on January
II, was prepared for trial on three
separate occasions, and after spend
ing - days preparing briefs
covCi..., the legal points likely to
be brought up at the trial, lawyers
of such great ability as r. NJ. Barn
hart, Nuzum & Nuzum, Graves,
kizer & Graves and p. C. Sullivan
were arrayed against him in court.
All of which Donovan modestly
deems to be worth the mere pit
tance he asks for and received

In response to the inquiry as to

cessions, in return for the franchise
1t asks, an investigation made to-
day shows that the city council and
the North Coast had practically

this grade separation the company
expected to expend for that one
item $400, 900 to $500, 900.
The Milwaukee likewise expects
to have practically complete grade
separation. but its plans had not
been examined in detail when the

WASHINGTON, March 21.-
Among the first matters that will
have to be taken up by the new
rules committee of the house of rep
resentatives after it is organized
are % measures on which the old
committee took no action.
The 23 measures include many
matters. it Is declared, suppressed
by Speaker Cannon because he con-
sidered them bad policy or bad poll
tics. Among them is Fish's pro-
posed rule directing the house COM
mittee on postoffices and postroads
to bring in report within 30 days
on the feasibility of establishing a
parcels post. This was introduced
February 2S and the rules commit
tee has neither reported nor given
Fish a hearing.
There are other measures before
the committee that are apt to give
1t some unpleasant work, and for
this reason 1t is declared the new
committee will have rough sled
ding.

are pretty well recovered from

CRISIS IN

SITUATION

President Earlinq of the Chicago,
Milwaukee G. St. Paul railway sys-
tenn, together with a party of his
principal associates, is due to ar
rive in Spokane at o'clock this
evening to look over the field and
to decide in connection with the
franchise controversy whether or
not the road shall enter the terri
tory.
A meeting is to be held this
evening with men now in Spokane
connected with the Milwaukee rail-
road, and it is said that influential
business men Of the city will be
brought into the conference.
1t is announced today by some of
the principal men in the circulation
of petitions both for and against
the granting of the Milwaukee and
North Coast franchises without the
terminal rate and common user
clauses that little of the real con-
troversy over the matter has yet
reached the eastern railroad cen
ters. However, it is now thought
certain that the coming of Presi-
dent Earring will be the means of
settling, on short notice, so far as
the railroad is concerned. by what
terms it will enter Spokane.

CHICAGO. March 21.-Jack
Johnson, the colored heavyweight,

Johnson said that he had fought
enough battles to know just how
long it will take him to get into
condition. and that the time neces-
sary was not three months.
In all probability, however, John
son will be seen tracking westward
toward the broad Pacific before

tions to the contrary.
