STORY TELLERS OF JAPAN
Profession Is an Old One, and lts
Members Are Looked Up To BY
All Glasses Of the People.

QuHintly recalling the day Of the
wandering minstrel In other lands, the
professional story teller Of Japan oc-
cupies a unique niche in the life Of
his country, and he has character
and an art all his own. 1t is a curl
Gus fact that one of the most accom-
pllshed story tellers In Tokyo Is an
Englishman who has lived in Japan
all his life and speaks the language
like a native. What are called the
yose halls of Japan are probably rel
les Of the oldest known form of pub
lie entertainment. Perhaps the stroll.
Ing minstrel who recited or chanted
tales of the heroes was older, for In
Japan he developed into the yose halls
with their hnnaskikH. From remOt-
est times great people In Japan had
their clowns and story tellers, just as
did Europeans: and In time the cities
had their regular places where an au-
dience might go to hear some national
epic, n ballad or comic story told.
In rural Japan there are today still
strolling story tellers who chant their
tales to a roadside audience. These
stories were OF great variety, but they
may be divided into rakugo or humor'
GUS stories, and kodan, or heroic tales.
The manner In which these are relat-
ed differs widely also; some story
tellers speak In loud and solemn
voices, while others behave much like
clowns, acting out the details of what
they are telling. Those which resem.
BILE ballads are chanted TO the accom-
paniment OF the samisen, n primitive
instrument. These song stories are
not all very old; some are based upon
modern events Of interest. Often the
entertainment Is relieved by the per
>ormance of group Of marionettes
or by a juggling feat or two.

have ayailsd yourself OF the opportun

struggle is hard You have not yet

pare Your fertile lands against their

Your livestock is great. Your live

A so-called herd law-such as You

statute books. 1t provides that should

those damages shall be Is decided by

WHISPERED STORY OF RUTH
warded With Feast Cake for
Her Effort

In the East side of New York as
in the East end of London, the Jewish
quarter OF Paris or Judengasse of Ber-
lin, thousands of Jewish mothers and
grandmOthers gathered the little
daughters of the family to them one
night recently. Into tiny ears was
whispered the story of Ruth, the faith
full. In each kitchen stood a new
broom, and tallow candles burned
brightly on tables spread with meats,
wines and cakes.
Little daughter" each mother whis-
pered. do you know what Ruth said
to Naomi"
Yes" each little girl replied eager
ly. She had rehearsed the great epic
for weeks. Ruth said 'Entreat me
not TO leave thee, or to return from
following after thee. For whittier thou
goest. 1 Will go; and where thou lodg-
est, 1 will lodge; thy people shall be
my people, and thy god my God"
And, beaming her pride, each moth
er then said:
Good Here is cake for youl"
Thus the feast of Shabuoth was
ushered in. The broom was Just as
much part of the ceremony us the
reward Of a cake. With it one could
sweep out the spirits and demons, the
scheidim and masikim, which ghetto
traditions of the medieval ages insist
are present during Omer, the time be-
tween Passover and Shabuoth.-Naw

EASTERN POET VISITS OXFORD
Japanese Man of Letters MoralIzes
Over the Changes That Have
Been Wrought by Time.

Yone Noguchi, Japanese poet, wan
dering through Oxford and Stratford
on literary pilgrimage, strikes even
himself as incongruous, an odd inter
section of time and fate in space. He
is led to wonder, writing his impress
sions OF these two shrines in Black
woods, whether Addison, staring
down at him out of a frame at Cor
pus Christi, ever thought that jap
anese poet would come some day in
the long future and dine before his
picture" On the other hand, had Ad-
Olson foreseen such visit, the thing
most astonishing about it to him
would have been that the antipodean
visitor should in all things appear to
be the cultured European man of let
ters. To Noguchi oxford is no new
and strange land, as would be the
Louvre to Utamaro. Avon holds for
him the same refiexes that 1t does
for Alfred Noyes. Although he was
born in Japan, he is, to all intents
and purposes, rooted in European art
His guide at Oxford was Robert
Bridges. and the two were as brother

WON HIS ITALIAN AUDIENCE
Maeterlinek Tells How Jules Destree
Made Friends for selslum's Cause

Maurice Mneterlinck. the great lit
terateur OF Belgium, tells in London
Everyman's of visits which he paid
Italy in a propaganda conducted bY
two Belgian deputies. Jules Destree
and George Lorand, and describes Ital.
ian audiences. He says the Italian
ls generous, courteous, hospitable, ex.
nberant, enthusiastic, but very proud
and touchy; that he knows his worth;
that he knows that his is the oldest
civilization, and he recognizes the
right of no other nation to teach him
his duty. Describing a meeting at
Naples, he says: AT the last moment
we had been warned that, though we
might speak of Belgium and her suf-
fering, any definite allusion to war
or overviolent attack on the people
from beyond the Rhine would excite
controversy and only damage our
cause. Being myself no orator, had
only my miserable written address,
which, of course. could not be
changed the last moment, and might
prove dangerous. 1t was necessary
to prepare the land. Destree mounted

long, patient, skillful parallel between
Flemish and Italian art, between the

and those of Flanders and Brabant;
