caught the man with the money hid

self in the timber The crime was
committed in true western style,
gun in hand.
l. was thought by others that he
had an accomplile with an automobile
and many cars were soon securing
the various roads, some of them on
the road to Baraboo.
From the Baraboo river to Trunk
Highway 33 there is a large ditch
and it was thought Pixley mig
hiding in the ditch, gradually working
his way to the road A group of CT
tizens were waiting for him at the
farm house at the upper end of the
ditch.
Sheriff w. H. Ode at Baraboo had
been notified and was near when
the fellow was taken by the North
Freedom officer.
Still others were taking every pre-
caution possible to keep the highway
man from getting away.
Cashier Hahn was in Baraboo on
Saturday night and stated to District
Attorney Bohn that the amount taken
was between $4O0 and $500 dollars.
Pixley told Sheriff w. H Ode that in

.SHAH'S LONDON
. VISIT RECALLS
HORRORS
Former Persian Ruler Turned
Hotel Suite into Slaughter
House.
BY r. A. WRAY.
international News. Service.

/. LONDON, March 1.-THE Shah
of Persia is coming to London,
after briefly tasting the pleasures
Of Paris. but his visit is not being
anticipated with any degree of
enthusiasm.
Truth" recalls. how the late
Shah visited London about fifty
years ago, and the terrible fuss
that he then created, both in
England and France. Queen Vic
toria had never been so scan
dalized in her life before as by
his goings.on when staying at
Buckingham Palace, and after his
eventual departure she would never
allow his name to be mentioned
in her presence again.
One cause Of complaint was the
terrible condition to which the
rooms Of his suite at the palace
were quickly brought by the Shah.
1t seems that the monarch and
his staff had a playful habit Of
slaughtering sheep in their apart.
ments, and the blood bespattering
walls did not help the appear.
ance of the regal rooms. This,
combined with other undesirable
practices, brought the, suite 70
such a condition that 1t had to
be completely redecorated and re.
furnished after the Persians left.
There was another unpleasant
story, which gained wide belief
in England, that one of the Shah g
servants was beheaded in the
royal apartments for some trivial
offense. The body, it has always
been believed. was buried in the
grounds Of Buckingham Palace in
the dead Of night.
Altogether the late Shah left
behind him no pleasant memories
in Britain. It may be that his
successor will be more fortunate,
but none seem particularly san.
guine in regard to the matter.

JAPAN'S FAMED
ANCIENT ART
INITIATED
Market Swamped With Cheap
RepIicas of Historic Doors
and Panels.

Among the unique features in
the mural decorations Of old JAP
anese palaces and temples are the
painted wooden doors in the cor
ridors which separate the different
sets Of apartments. To possess a
set or even one Of these doors is
the ardent wish Of every art col
lector and art lover everywhere.
These doors are invariably made
from carefully selected planks of
sugi, or cedar of enormous width
and beautiful grain, and are hence
called sugi-to, or cedar doors.
Some very fine examples exist in
various parts of Japan and the
custom of using decorated sugi-to
still exists in that country.
Those at Aoyama Palace, built
for the grandmother of the present
emperor Of Japan, are attracting" d
great deal Of attention. There were
eleven cedar panels, and an equal
number Of the leading artists Of the
day were chosen to paint on both
sides Of each door.
Unfortunately, there has been a
period in modern japanese history
when it was the cry Of the age to
tear down everything old and do
away with every institution which
had no counterpart in the civilized
West, when temples and shrines,
with their rich paintings, wonder
full carvings and sculptures were
mercilessly destroyed.
But now things have changed, a
reaction has set in. Some have
gone so far as to pull down their
European buildings and to re-erect
the traditional Japanese edifice.
These buildings with their beautiful
carvings Of rama, decorative gold
fusma and painted sugi-to present
an aristocratic' aspect
The best known sugi-tO in Japan
is the one with the painting of a
lion, commonly called happo-nerami-
no-shishi dion staring in eight direc-
ttons), because it stares straight at
| the beholder wherever he may
stand in the Milo Palace, Kyoto, by
kano Tan-yu: another in the same
palace with herons in the rain, by
kano Naonobu and the one with
sparrows and bamboo, by Kano
Eitoku, in the Nagoya Castle.
Doors as such are not easy to be
forgotten and there is nothing any
where that can compare with them
in artistic beauty and finished
craftsmanship
The Japanese Of the present day
Is nothing if not shrewd business
man and nothing is too sacred for
Imitation if he can find a market
for the object.
The market is swamped with
cheap Japanese limitations of Jap
anese screens, inferior woods being
used and showing an inferior work
manship. Buyers and collectors
must beware.
