COFFIN 1,5oo YEARS OLD
Found In An Inari Shrine Near
 Okushi, Japan.

There is an mari shrine in the town of Okushi, Ibaraki Prefecture, in the compound of which some building Ope- rations are going on. The laborers engaged in leveling the ground were digging the other day, when they unearthed a large stone coffin
 The news was immediately com municated to the chief priest, who sent for the head man of the village. In his presence the cover of the stone coffin was taken off and inside were found many gold rings and other treasures, such as kudatama, maga- tama and other ancient vessels. Judg- ing from the construction of the cof- fin, it is 1,500 years old. News of the discovery was forwarded to the local government office and an official was sent to examine the articles found.
 The shrine itself is very ancient one, and in it Kuraine- tama ne -mikO- to Is defined lt was for a while re moved from the village by the com mand of Mitsukuni Tokugawa, Lord of AIito, but in 1702 1t was taken back to it's former site. Some earth was taken from the compound of the great 1nari shrine at Yamashire Kyoto, and placed under the main building of this shrine with formal ceremony. Since then it had been customary for the Daimyo of Mito to hear the expense for repairs to the shrine. and one of his retalners was always sent as special messenger q festival ttmes.-- Japan Weekly Chronicle.

some one else before he returned home. So he hunted up Stella.
 Rodney was very much in earnest and very desperate and he made Stella listen. Incidentally she gathered his sentimental history from friends of hers who knew him well. But Stella was wise girl and saw possibilities.
 I'm going to take a chance that you mean what you say Stella told him. Anyhow l hope up do mean what you say, because I-well, I'm foolish enough to like you myselfi I think I'll marry you after aIl.'
 '~To- -day!" Rodney cried. jubilantly.
 T should say not" said Stella, with decision. I'm going to give myself six months to change my own mind"
 The six months during which Rodney was on pins and needles for fear she would suddenly and definitely throw him overheard did him a lot of good. He was reformed character when his wedding day arrived. You would have thought that he had never known there was another girl on earth had you seen the way he gazed at his wife.
 He isn't quite sure even yet that she won't change her mind.-Chicago News

THE TANNING OF RODNEY

. or Seattle or Reno or wherever 1t was just two weeks after Stella left He said he had business out there and he had. His business was to fall still more deeply in love with Stella. Soon there came a day when, Ioitering uu- der the trelIsed arbor in her yard, he told her how he felt and that he wanted her to marry him.
 There is no reason to blame Stella for liking him. because Rodney is em- inently likable and his wooing had been spectacular and therefore attractive. She said yes-and Rodney departed on air, because he simply had to go back home.
 The next morning Stella got tel egram from him, sent from the train on which he was speeding eastward 1t read: Consider it all mistake and at an end. Am miserable. Will write
 By the time the startled Stella had got Rodney's explanatory letter and perused it and completely failed to understand it Rodney had discovered to his alarm that he did not experience his usual elatiOn at being free from an entanglement. He had a heavy heart and a yearning which he finally figured out was a desire to see Stella again He really loved herl
 Expense not having to be considered by Rodney, he travelled back to the coast and metaphOrically cast himself at Stelas feet. Stella smiled her slow, sweet smile regarded him musing!y and then practically summoned the gardener to sweep him out with the other rubbish. Rodney went and sat by the sea after that and meditated upon death and raVed at himself. Stella regularly hung up the receiver whenever she found him on the phone so after a while he returned home, a hlighted being. Everybody knew he was a blighted being because he made no secret of it.
 Stella was his only thought and lis sole conversational topic, till finally his family struck They told him to clear out and go and marry Stella by main force or else fall in love with

Consider, fer example, that case of the onion grower mentioned a few weeks ago. He. you'H remember, sent a carload of good onions to the Phil adeIphia market for which he got n0thing,-and had to pay $9 freight Ii may well be that he had some fun" raising those noble berries and sort ing them and packing them and think ing how he'd beaten the drought and the maggots and the rust and various other things.

When 1t comes to the markets, we farmers are not given the square deal which even the crows and the potato bugs give us in their contests with us. We're neither to snuff nor deal nora even name our game. We step up to the table and take the tWO-spOts which the delft dealer slips off the bot tom of the pack for us. Then we won der why he wins all the tricks Worse yet, the loss of our rightful share of profit in marketing tends to deaden and dull our interest in the game of production. The most potent reason of all why so many farmers grow list less and apathetic is that they secure no profit from the exercise of indus try and zeal

When Rodney was IS and developed such a violent and romantic passion for the blond little girl in the corner candy shop his fond parents sat up nights holding their distracted heads and bemoaning Rodney's fate, for they were positive that matrimony, and perhaps an eIopement would crown the affair.
 The little candy girl thought so too. for when Rodney of q sudden calmly announced that everything was over between them she talked of a breach of promise suit after she had finished weeping and asking why he didn't love her any more. To the latter query Rodney had bent studious mind and had finally delivered the verdict that he was blessed if he knew. Apparently his affections came and went with the wind.
 After that followed love affairs with a long series of girls. Finally Rodney's family became so accustomed to this sentimental state that they went right on with their usual three meals a day and paid no attention to it. If Rod ney was not at the point where he had at last found the girl of his heart and everything was settled he was at the next point where of a sudden he had decided that it was all a mistake and he did not really care for that par tiCular girl.
