JESUIT STARTS
TO TAKE up HIS WORK

Spokane, Wash.-Francis Masul,
"a years of age, resident of Spokane
since 1903, said to be the first Jap
anese in America to enter the Jesuit
order of the Catholic church, has gone
to Los Gatos, Cal, where he will af-
filiaite with the society as a brother.
Masul became converted in this city
six years ago and has been an ex-
emplary Christian. His parents are
residents of Japan. dis decision to
enter the Society Of Jesus is looked
upon by Catholics to be of historical
significance, recalling, as it does, that
in the early part of the 18th centurp
hundreds of japanese converts to the
Catholic faith were maryred. Since
that time the japanese followers of
the church have worshiped secretly.
Masul was accompanied to California
by William O'Brien of Spokane, Dan
iel Meagher of Missoula, Mont, and
John J. Keep Of Boston, graduates of
GOnzaga college, who will enter the
Pesuit order to become priests. Fif-
teen years of studious application is
required before ordination.

WILLIS Is A WISER MAN
Finds Right Coat Pocket No Place
TO Garry Matches

Washington, ID. C.-Representative
Frank B. Willis of Ada, Ohio is a
wiser if not better man than he
was, but is short a mohair coat and
the western hemisphere of a pair of
IS trousers
Mr.. Willis is large. broadshoulder-
ed, heavy-chested and athletic, with
a thick head of raven black hair and
a fine boyish face. Some time ago,
when the statehood bills were up. he
surprised the house with a very able
and scholarly speech. He bowled
over every democrat that tried to
bring him down, much to the delight
of Minority Leader Mann and other
faithful republicans.
About the middle of the afternoon
Mr.. Willis startled the house by
jumping out of his seat and yelling
"Fire!" A box of matches in the
right coat pocket had caught fire and
were burning at lively rate. Repre-
sentative Kahn Of California, recall
ing the fact that one can smother a
fire, shed his coat and rushed over to
wrap Mr. Willis up.
But by slapping kicking, jumping
and doing the buck and wing dance
in the aisle the Ohioan extinguished
the fire.
After the blazcs were out and Mr..
Willis took stock it was found that
one side of his coat and pictol pocket
of his trousers were gone. Mr., Kahn
! sidled up to Mr. Willis, using his coat
as a screen to keep anybody in the
gallery from seeing just what had
happened and escorted him out.
| Those must have been insurgent
Matches" said Uncle Joe Cannon as
Mr. Kahn led Mr.. Willis out. "They
flare up at most unexpected times"
