Jspan's DRAGON Lamps.

Japan abounds with sacred places
Shintoist and Buddhist--fOrmerly re-
puted for the appearances Of the SO
called dragons lamp" This is a mys-
ferrous light that comes out Of a pond
lake or sea and alights on a certain
tree, mostly on certain night. 1t was
held that the light was dedicated by
a dragon dwelling In the water to a
god whose shrine stood near the trees.
For example, the famous Ryuto of the
temple of Avalokitesvara on Nagusa
hill, province of Xii. made its annual
ascent from the sea to pine tree in
the precincts every ninth night of the
seventh moon At the midnight of the
10th Of every month a Ryuto came
from the northeast of1ing to the SO
called dragons lamp pine" near the
shrine of Mandjusri at Kiredo, prov
fnce Of Tango, whereas on the same
tree another light. named Celestial
lamp" made its descent from the heav,
ems every sixteenth night of the first.

Beautiful Land Of AIsace.

This land Of Alsace is in many re-
spects the most beautiful that l have
ever seen. Strung along the horizon,
like sentinels wrapped in nantes of
green, the peaks of the Vosges loom
against the sky. On the slopes Of the
ridges, massed in their black battal-
ions, stand forests Of spruce and pine
Through peaceful valleys silver
streams meander leisurely, and in the
meadows which border them cattle
stand knee deep amid the lush green
grass. The villages, their tortuons.
cobble paved streets, lined on either
side by dim arcades, and the old, old
houses. with their turrets and balco-
MES and steep pitched pottery roofs.
give you the feeling that they are not
real, but that they are scenery on a
stage, and this illusion is heightened
by the men in their jaunty berets and
wooden sabots. and the women whose
huge black silk headdresses accentuate
the freshness Of their compilations. It
is at once a region of ruggedness and
majesty and grandeur, of quaintness
and simplicity and charm.-F. Alex

Leaping Treason.

King William III. of England was
,passionately fond of the chase and
made It point never to be outdone
In any leap, however perilous. A Mr.
Cherry, who was devoted to the ex
lied Stuarts, took advantage Of this
to plan the most remarkable design
which was ever formed against a
kings life. He regularly joined the
royal hounds, put himself foremost
and took the most desperate leaps in
the hope that William might break
his neck in following him. One day.
however, he accomplished one SO i'm,
minently dangerous that the king when
he came to the spot shook his head
and drew back. It y said that Mr.
Cherry at length broke his own peck
and thereby relieved the king from
further hazard. & j.

visit in many a day. She is wide
awake. hustling and growing in a
fight, not an inch will she give but
what wins for the town, her bright
scepter and crown, she's place
where tits glory to live.
And the name of that town is Da-
Wis City, musical magical name un-
furled to scale the steep summit OF
fame that calls to the slumberlng
cities to shake lazy sleep from their
eyes and with souls all ashine, eaten
the vision divine that lights the vast
deeps of the skies.
Where the valley dipped down
from the uplands, like an emerald
lake mid the hills, where the rivers
broad bent was waiting TO lend a
hand with the ripples and rills. When
the morning was younger the pralrles
and the grass blazed with diamonds
of dew, came the brave pioneers, the
raigs, the Tharps, and the Teales,
and the voice of the vision was true.
Came the dreamers and workers
and builders, came the Fraziers, Nc
Clarans and Clarks, came the pride OF
all the states leaving fortune and
fates with the spirit that conquers
and wins, and with eyes on the peaks
of the future and with thoughts on
the glory that CLEANS gave their
hands and their hearts, did their
share and their parts and builded this
city of our dreams.
She had cabins of rude lumber and
her streets had no cement or walks,
but the bold pioneers looked ahead
through the years with vision celes-
tial and bright and they gave her a
park and schools, churches and banks
built of brick and of stone, and soon
it was seen like militant queen, tri-
umphant and proud on her throne.
And now she has street lights, wat
er works, and rour churches or more,
and cute, cunning Fords, big as APP
pies and gourds, go cavorting around
to each door, she has Fairgrounds
and ball parks and fine reunion
grounds too, and the verdict SO great
the best little town in the state. All
the dreams we dreamed have come
true.
Keep the dream, men and women
of Davis City, keep it bright like the
builders of DID,. who came to this
place with their manhood and grace
and gave it their hearts purest gold.
Keep the vision undimmed and UNI
clouded, let the looms and factories
rise, find the gas, the oil and the
coal, build the spindles for toll, but
remember what won you the prize.
look to the glorious future and
here by the "Grand's" broad tide
see the old town with scepter and
crown grow more wealthy and wide,
for she still keeps the light of her
dreams.
God speed you, oh, city with Wis
ions, God speed you along your
bright track, with your hand to the
pillow, and the sun on your brow, keep
climbing and never look back. Rush
along to the goal of your promise, to
the lift Of dawn's crimson bars, 70 the
splendor and height of your destiny
bright, to the radiant road to the
stars
