raoh wherever he went, and on war ex- petitions two of them were mounted as standards on the monarch's chariot.
 The office of fan-bearer was one of the highest in the kingdom, only princes and scions of the highest nobility being eligible to such appointments. There were a number of these official fan bearers, who either attended the King in person on the field of battle or con- manded divisions of troops.
 Fan customs much the same prevailed in ancient Assyria, in Persia, and in Arabia. Fans for ordinary use were crescent-shaped, square and triangular. A bas-relief on an Egyptian monument of the tenth century B. c. shows a big fan suspended from the ceiling and op- erated by pulling cord. Just such fans are in use nowadays in India. It is a very old device for cooling a room by agtating the stagnant air.
 In times antedating the Christian era the Phoenicians were the sea traders of the Mediterranean, and it is supposed that they brought fans from Egypt and Assyria and introduced them to the Greeks and Romans. On ancient Greek vases women holding fans are often represented, and in some instances ser wants are shown waving long handled fans of recognizably Egyptian pattern. The priests of Isis carried fans made of the wings of birds, attached to the end of long wand.

the quivering of the wings of seraphim.
 These fans were called "fabella," and famous one that has been preserved, dating back to the ninth century, is now in the national museum at Florence. It belonged at that period to the abbey church of Tournus, south of Chalons. Pictures of saints adorn it. Many me dieval fans bear pictures of saints, and paintings of that epoch show angels waving fans.
 The oldest existing Christian fan be- longed to Theodolinda, a saintly queen of the Lombards, who lived in the sixth century. It is preserved as a secred relic in the Cathedral of Monza, near Milan, and superstition has invested it with such magical powers that maidens make pilgrimages from long distances to touch it and thereby enhance their pros poets of acquiring husbands.
 In Colombia (South America) at the present time iaEs are as commonly used by menNas by women. One domestic use to which they are put is to blow the fire. For that purpose every house in that country is provided with a kitchen fan of cabbage-palm leaf. A like cus- tom holds in Portugal, where the fire

 served in the Abbey of Tournus four long-handled fans jeweled with rubies, the handles overlaid with gold.
 In England, in the time of Henry the Eighth, gentlemen carried enormous fans with handles yard long. The sticks were commonly used for punish ing refractory children, and it is re- corded that by this means Sir Thomas More corrected his grown daughters for running him into debt at the milliner's.
 Such fans were used at court to dis sipate the horrible odors for which such places were famous, the "palace smell" due to defective plumbing and poor ven- tilation. being as characteristic of White hall as it was of Versailles in those days.
 Ceremonial fans appear to have been used by the American Indians in early times. When the explorer La Sale, in 1882, was visited on the banks of the lower Mississippi by native chieftain, the latter arrived clad in white robe and preceded by two men bearing white fans, presumably of feathers.
 During the Middle Ages, in Europe, fans played an important part in reli- gious ceremonials. They were waved over the heads of priests at mass, or held by acolytes in front of the altar The idea originally was to keep off the flies, whicS represented the devil, and to drive them away by faith. Beelzebub means. literally, Lord of the Flies.
 Later the fans were supposed to wait a divine influence upon the ceremony, their to-and-fro movement symbolizing

 The lineage of fans is undoubtedly older than the Pyra m i ds. In Egypt, thousands of years ago, there were banner and professional fans, of ostrich or pea cock feathers, fixed on lcng, wooden handles. They ac-

handles, and ancient frescoes show them waved by attendants to keep the flies off their mistresses while sleeping. Those blameless young ladies, the Vestal Vir- gins, used fans to start the flames of sacrihcial fires.
 A story painted on an old Spanish fan says that the first fan was a wing which Cupid tore from the back of Zephyrus to cool the sleeping Psyche as she lay on bed of roses. This, of course, is a figurative reference to the employment ot the fan by women as a graceful aid to Irritation and love-making.
 An old-time contributor to that classic newspaper, the Spectator, wrote: :"Women are armed with fans as men with swords. and sometimes do more execution with them. l have seen fan so angry that It would have been dangerous for the absent lover who provoked it to come within wind of it; and at other times so very languishing that, for the lady's sake, was glad the lover was at a suffi- cient distance from it. If only see the fans of disciplined lady, know very we'll whether she laughs, frowns or bushes"
 The famous statesman DisraeN, 50. Journing in Spain, wrote: "A Spanish lady with her fan might shame the tao. tics of troop of horse. Now she un. folds it with the slow pomp and elegance of the bird of Juno; now she flutters it with the languor of disdainful beauty. and again with all the liveliness of ! yi- vacious one. Anon she closes it with . whirr that makes you start. Magical in- strument! In this land it speaks a par ticular language, and gallantry require, no other mode to express the most subtle conceits."
 It is to be feared that in these ultra. modern days women, who have not hesi- tated to sacrifice other eraces, hav. ceased to cultivate the use of the fan as an amatory weapon. On the other hand' It's use on the stage is elevated al. most to fine art. To emphasize movement, to give point and expression to some particular action-what more effective instrument could be found than the fan!
 In discussing this interesting subject one should not forget the trick fans" There is one kind, its inventor unknown which looks like an ordinary folding fan Open it from left to right and it is lik. any other. But when opened from right to left the whole fan seeminol, falls to pieces, it's sticks no lonee- united. The principle on which it work, Is simple enough, though puzzline nnt;l understood.
 Then there is the double ent.ndrsn fan' which is of French origin, as might be imagined. Opened in the ordinary way from left to right, it displays 2 harmless picture of flowers, birds q, landscape. Opened the opposite way. if reveals shocking design.

Cancellation by the state land
board Of . lease on state land sfanted
10 ]. p. Killer Of Perth was the open
ing gun In campaign to make the
states land yield higher revenue,
according to Carl R. Kositsky, state
land commissioner.
Killers lease was cancelled because
the board found that he was paying
only the grating rental whereas ne
should have been paying the rental
obtained for cultivating state lands.
The grazing rate Is 81 cents an
acre. East Of the Missouri river the
cultivatin4 rate 10 Is cents an acre
and west Of the river it Is 80 cents
an acre. II more than half Of quar-
ter section is cultivated the entire
tract takes the cultivated rate. II
less than half Is cultivated the lessor
pays the cultivating rate only on the
acreage actually under cultivation.
Numerous other instances Of SINH
lar law violations have come to the
attention Of the department, Kosit-
xky said, and he proposSs to launch
an effort to collect the full amount
due the state in such cases. Under
the law the state can cancel the
lease and take full title to the crops
growing on the property. The policy
Of the department, however, is to
grant the former lessor the right to
harvest the crop upon payment pf
the full rental for this year and ahv
other years he has farmed the prop
erty without paying full rental.
In other cases the land board has
cancelled contracts Of lease to per-
sons who since have again leased the
land at substantial profit. Such
double leasing il contrary to law.
Kositzky said. In one case which has
come to his attention, Kositxky said,
lessor obtained a quarter section
for SIS and sub-leased it tor $3.50.
Under q new ruling Of the state
land board each application for Z
farm loan from. school funds must
be accompanied by q check for one
dollar. The money will be used to
reimburse the departments printing
and postage account.
The board also has decided to make
a charge of S. for each set Of sup
plies for use in school district bond
! elections. These are usually fur
nished by the land department, since
the land board usually buys the
bonds.
