ANCIENT LEGEND OF JAPAN
Many Stories Told Of the Evil Powe,
and Feroeious Qualities Of River
Dwelling Kappa.

Stories and legends concerning riv.
ers abound in Japan. One reason is
that the rivers are generally treach.
er0us streams which greater part
OF the year are little more than dry
gravelly beds, but which sometimes
suddenly overflow their banks carry
Ing destruction to the fields and to
the houses along their way. The
story of the Kappa is told on the oc-
casion of river festivals, which are
held in July
The Kappa is supposed to be hairy
creature with scaly limbs and the body
of tortoise; his head resembles that
or an ape and in the top of 1t is a
cavity containing a mysterious fluid,
said to be the source of the Kappa's
power, The chief delight of the Kap-
pa, who is fierce and quarrelsome, IS
to challenge human beings to combat,
an invitation that cannot be refused.
To defeat a Kappa is as unfortunate
as to be worsted by him, as the victor
begins Immediately to waste away.
The Kappa always lives in rivers,
and there were Kappas in some dis
tricts which demanded two victims a
year. If person began suddenly to
grow pale and thin, it was said that
the Kappa had claimed him.
Kappa means Child of the River"
There is a shrine in Izumo called
kawako-no-miya which is said to con
tain document signed by the Kappa
who once lived in a neighborng stream.
This goblin was exceedingly ferocious
and many villager or a villagers
animal fell victim. One day the Rap
pa attacked horse which had stepped
into the river. In doing so, the Kap-
pa twisted its neck but still chung to
the frightened horse, which dashed
out of the river and to his masters
home. The villagers captured the kap-
pa and wanted to kill it, but the own
or of the horse protested that he had
g better plan.
The Kappa was tightly bound and
/ presented with a document which
promised that he would never modest
the villagers or their animals again
The Kappa, in order to save his life
promised and affixed his seal to the
document by dipping his hand into the
ink and pressing it to the paper. He
was then allowed to return to the
river, and from that day to this hf
has never harmed the villagers.
. Any Japanese today will acknoWl
edge that he has heard of Kappa but
/ few have seen One.-Sarah Moltai

Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1920-12-31

Dick Turpin, hero of many ro-
mantle story. and one of the most
outstanding figures in the history of
English highwaymen, once made
ride that, for distance covered and
speed maintained, has never been du-
plicated, as far as any record ex-
lists.
Turpin was in danger of capture,
and capture meant death beyond
question. He had beneath him a
horse of unequaled speed and endur-
ance. and before him an earthen
path leading from LOndOn's cObble
stonrs to York, a distance of 200
miles. Spur was touched to the mare,
since famed in song and story as
BLACK Bess," and just as the sun
was sinking to rest the highwayman
and the eager mount took up the long
trail
The same sun rose II hours later
over the housetops Of York, and the
early-rising citizens who peered
from shattered windows saw great
black horse, dripping with sweat,
eyes starting from her head and
breath coming in gasps, laundering
down the main street, while dust
covered rider swayed in the saddle
and made futile efforts to whip the
travel stains from his gay costume.
He had completed the distance In Il
hours, and without changing mounts.

Eiher Box Saves Wood.

The fiber box is considered an i'm
portant factor in forest conservation,
since only about one-sixth of it's raw
material is new wood pulp. The rest
Is almost wholly waste, according TO
the forest bureau of the department OF
agriculture, which says:
AT least half of fiber is old newspa-
pers, screenings, wrapping paper, pa
per boxes and such material. But rope
and tagging are no less products OF
the waste heap. The increased price
paid for Old papers since fiber board
boxes stinHIiated the demand has re-
suited in drawing supplies from small
towns and rural communities, where
formerly no one went to the trouble OF
cole ting such material. 1t has en-
couriged also the diligence of scaveng-
ers who search the alleys, ash cans.
and public garbage dumps in cities"
