Horace WaIpoIe Chiefly Famous for

One article of great elegance was
a silver bell which had been made by
Benvenuto Cellini for Pope Clement

bell having been to serve papal ours

PAY HONOR TO GOD OF FIRE.
Japanese Religious observances That
Take Place in Coolest Season
Of the Year.

A japanese religious observance Pc
culiar to the coolest season of the
year is that of bathing i'm cold water
and wearing to and from the bath a
single kimono of pure white, with a
white band about the head. The cere-
mony, says the Japan Advertiser in
a recent issue, is out of respect to
Fudo-san, the god Of fire, primarily.
Those observing the custom carry a
lantern and jingle small bell as they
go along the street. The season con-
tinues for thirty days.
The first fifteen days Of the season
is called the daiken, or great cold,
and the second fifteen days the sho-
kon, or small cold. Most Of those who
go through the ceremony are young
men, apprentices in some trade, who
run to and from the bath, repeating
the words, "Rokkon Shojo," as they
go. The principal temple and bath is
the one in Fukawaga-ku. The cold
water bath there was recently re
built at a cost Of 100000 yen in an.
ticipation of the cold season. 1t is
open for women only until 6 o'clock
In the evening, but at all hours in
the day for men. Among the women
are many young actresses. who pray
earnestly for success in their profess
sion. Another Fudo shrine is near
Meguro station.

RHODES NEVER WOMAN Halter
But Celebrated "Empire Builder" Had
Little Time to Devote to the
GentIer Sex.

Cecil Rhodes had the reputation OF
being q woman hater, but he was by
no means a misogynist, though he
might have been regarded misOga-
mist. He was welded, it was said, by
his friends, to Africa. But his life
would have been more complete and
no less full of achievement if he had
been married to the right woman-
at least so says my wife and other
women who knew him.
While l have said Rhodes was not
a woman hater, he was averse to vast
ing his time on women Of mediocre in
tellect. Rhodes excused himself for
not marrying by saying that he ma"
lot the time to give a wife the atten-
ton she was entitled to receive.
In his magnificent house at Cape
Town there was only one picture. Ii
was a painting of a young woman,
beautiful and modest of aspect, by Sir
Joshua Reynolds, and hung in the din
Ing room above the fireplace. He loved
to look at it and frequently told how
he had gained possession Of 1t. AS
a boy he took a great fancy to this
picture. which belonged to relative,
and his love for it increased as he
grew to manhood. Eventually he
bought it. He always wound up the
story by saying: "Now have my lady,
and 1 am happy."-John Hays Ham

War Veterans Good Students.

In q report made by the dean of
the Wisconsin university, especial
mention is made of the excellent prog
ress made by the 234 disabled soldiers
who are known as federal board stu
dents. Owing to their physical condi-
ton it was anticipated that they might
prove Indifferent students, but such
has not been the case. In this in
stance it is said that their progress
compared very favorably in every way
with that Of the regular students. The
total number of these students has
been increasing.

Wealth in Beads.

Probably the choicest and most val
liable beads in the world are those
possessed by the natives Of Borneo. In
many cases they are very old. and
have been kept for centuries in one
family.
Some are thought to be of Venetian
origin. while others resemble a Roman
variety.
It is difficult to induce the natives to
sell their beads, which they guard as
heirlooms. A rich chief may possess
old beads to the value Of thousands Of
pounds.

. The strength Of the Orang-outang, or

Malay, is largely in his arms. The
arms Of mias-the breed that We

type, which Is next in size to the goril-

< An orsng-outang never travels on
the ground when he can swing from
tree to tree, and, since there are very
few open spaces in the jungle, he
seldom reaches ground except when he
goes down to get something. He can
swing incredible distances, hurtling
through the air and catching branches
with perfect accuracy.
Orang-Outangs usually live in COL
Onies numbering from 40 to 60, and the
largest and most powerful is chief.
They make their homes on platforms
in the branches of trees and they build
the platforms by breaking off limbs
and putting them crisscross. In mating
season the male and female live to-
gether, but the couples separate after
the young are born. The mother takes
care of them and the father goes OF
about his business.-Charles Mayer in

Ancient Pictures

Mankind has always loved pictures.
Races. without written language,
have left behind them rude carvings
and murals to attest the fact. When
an industry arose that appealed to
this ancient appetite with pictures that
moved, it did not have to wait long to
see whether it would die or flourish.
A dozen years ago the motion picture
business, as we now know it, did not
exist. Today the American public sup
ports 1880 moving picture theaters,
makes 5,OOOOOO,OOO visits to them a
year and spends sT5O.OOO.OO0 annually

pire's Judgment. They further argue
that a team which refuses to finish a
game has no right of protest. How
ever, they are shedding no tears over
the decision but are confident they can
hang up another victory when they
meet Toppenish again.
Kennewick's protest in the games
played with Pasco, May 8 and with
Toppenish, May Is, were both disal-
lowed by President Taylor.
The defeat of Grandview gives Ken
newick four straight wins. Their
three defeats were in the first three
games of the season. Deedef, who
has been doing good work on third
has gone to Seattle and Gascoigne
drew a badly sprained ankle in the
twilight game Tuesday evening and
will probably be out the rest of the
season. These losses, however, will
be overcome with return from college
of Warde Johnson and Ross Willsey,
both of whom are in fine trim and go
ing good.
The boys play at home next Sunday
with Prosser. 1t is reported that a
large number of county seat fans will
accompany their team and one of the
most interesting contests of the sea-
son is looked forward to.
Johnson started the scoring for
Kennewick in Sundays game in the
third inning when he slammed out a
two-bagger, stole third and came home
when Wilson beat out bunt to first.
With one out in the sixth LaVera
connected for two bases and with the
aid of fielder's choice and an error
crossed the plate for number two.
In the lucky seventh Gascoigne
stopped a ball with his knee and got
a pass out of it, Johnson flied out to
center, Morain safe at first on field
er's choice, Gascoigne going to third
and scoring when Wilson laid one
down along the third base line, Morain
scoring when Copeland flied out to
center.
The stampede got going good in the
eighth when Mcdonald dropped Deed
er's fly, Gatchell singled, Deeder COM
ing home when Gascoigne hit for two
bases, Gatchell out at the plate on
Johnson's roller to short, Johnson go
ing to first, stole second and advanced
to third on shortstop's error. Both
scoring on Wilson's double.
Grandview's runs came in the sixth
when Wilson let Mcdonald beat out a
throw, Freeman famed, Laing hit for
two bosses, Hamilton hit to third and
was safe on fielder's choice, McDon-
aid out going home, ellis single send
ing in Laing and Hamilton.
The box score will be found on page
II of this issue.
In Ginning twilight game Kenne-
wick sent the Hanford- White Bluffs
team home with 10 to 0 score. Mo
rain, whose shoulder was famed by a
pitched ball in Sundays game was on
the bench, and Kirkpatrick was sent
against the Up-River champions. He
hung twelve of their hides up for
strike-outs and allowed only four hits.
The locals hit Evett for II safe ones.
Tonight the boys play twilight game
at Richland and next Wednesday they
play return game at White Bluffs.

TODAY'S
THOUGHT
AN UBIQUITOUS BILL

Glass legislation, as it IS
termed, is repugnant to the
American people. To legls-
late in favor of the few as
opposed to the many is fund
amentally undemocratic doc
trine. There is a certain bill
now before Congress, known
as the Fordney Bill, which it
would seem, is essentially
class legislation of the most
aggravated type. 1t is osten-
sibly a tax measure, but is in
reality designed to destroy
the manufacture and sale OF
the by-products of milk by
the placing Of drastic license
fees, penalties and fines, ex-
cessive surety bonds, stamp
taxes, and obnoxious signs
placed in conspicuous posi-
tions, and other measures
that are almost prohibitive.
The fact is that the use
and manufacture of COM
pounds of skinned milk,
which have come into exist
ence during the past few
years, have enabled the
farmers and dairymen to dis
pose Of millions of gallons of
an article that previously
was numbered among the
great mass of waste pro-
ducts which the inventive
genius of man had not
hitherto been able to utilize
commercially. Both the
state and federal pure food
authorities have endorsed as
an entirely legitimate and
wholesome practice the COM
bination Of skinned milk
with vegetable fats into milk
compounds designed eXclu-
sively for cooking purposes,
and not in anyWise for beve-
rage, table or infants milk.
The fact is that Congress-
man Fordney represents a
district, and in a measure a
state, that manufactures
certain food articles made
from milk. These nanufac-
turers, who have already
amassed huge fortunes
mounting into the millions,
have Waxed fat in an unholy
greed, and now seek to
throttle competition by ma
tional legislation.
AS was to be expected a
warm fight was precipitated
in Congress, and Congress
man Fordney's iniquitous
bill did not achieve its pas
sage. But it, as well as other
kindred measures now lying
dormant in committee, will
be brought up again at the
present session, and the fight
will be Oh again.
We hope that they will
meet with the singing de
feat they deserve. 1t is high
time that a certain class Of
pa m p cred manufacturers
discovered that the United
States congress is not de-
signed to stifle legitimate
competition OF to enrich a
few favorites at the expense
of the peopIe.
