or rather, the men are served. Ii anything
is left, the women get their share. Men, in this
upside-down world always dine first; and
woman's chief delight is to decorate her hus-
band with various devices which add to his
beauty
The feast over, the feasters retire behind the
nearest house where they place sticks made
like feather busters in circle; nearby, the head
of the bear is raised on a bamboo pole Ihen
comes the final celebration Ranging themselves
around the feather duster sticks, they drink
strong rice wine to the success of the gods
Apparently the gods need help like humans
Or, perhaps they believe the gods drink with
them = the cheap liquor served in small lacquer
bowls in loving-cup fashion.
n EFORE the drinking, narrow stick is laid
d across the bowl, then dipped into it, and
a few drops thrown off in the direction of other
feast offerings. BY this the unseen spirits are
honored, and after this consideration the ma
tives are free to imbibe freely-oh, quite freely!
Their capacity seems limited only by the guam
tity of liquor on hand
In the morning we departed-but only after
the anxious inn-keeper decided further travel
for a woman was too precarious without
wagon.
Far too hard travel for foreign lady" he in
sisted as my interpreter interpreted. II have
wagon I lend; can be returned later"
Could my guide and interpreter drive
wagon? Oh, certainly; was he not student,
and wise in all things? He was. he said, skilled
beyond description.
Soon we were ready, my student up beside
me, headed for the City Of the King. My guide
was cheerful, gay he had reached the
peak of his ambitions was actually driving
horses. 1t was like new toy to child; the
whip entranced him, and his desire to expert
ment was our undoing. Those horses didn't
know about whips, and when he swung it down
along their sides, something happened
We pitched sideways The horses reared,
raced off toward a tree, and succeeded in strik
ing it. The wagon turned over, smashed against
the trunk the harness tore off-and the horses
left for parts unknown.
I landed against the tree, somehow not
badly hurt - bruised and shaken. but with no

afraid I'd died-and to die in a foreign country
was awful. He began muttering to himself, then
discovered 1 moved, stood up and laughed at
him. He was relieved and so l. Then he
burst into tears over the disaster to horses and
wrecked wagon.
We walked. Even in Yezo, when there's no
help for it. you walk We didn't know how far
it was to house-but trail stretched before
us, rough and seemingly unused; up we strug-
gled over hills, down into gueys across
streams for about three hours Then we sighted
a farm house. and halted out of breath-hot
and weary.
This Ainu farmer was particularly hairy, but
very kind He distressed at the sad news
about the horses, but related that the beasts
had paused there an hour before He had, in
fact tethered them-hoping the owner would
appear. My guide and the farmer argued for
half an hour, planning how we might reach the
Kings City.
Their conclusion was that we'd stay the night.

I'd heard of the barbarous custom, and wanted
to investigate.

went to the tattoo house and stood in the
doorway. There were three little girls, about
eight or nine years old, each undergoing the
process of having mustache designed on her
upper lip. 1t painful and difficult. They
told me it required two years for completed
job, SO they began in plenty of time! When
finished large diamond shaped blotch of dark
blue surrounds the mouth and extends toward
the ears. The concoction itself is brewed at
home-ash bark is soaked for several days;
when ready, small FIRE of birch bark is kin
died under a big iron pot. This produces SCOT,
much of which is rubbed on the surface of the
skin, then operated upon. The portion to be
tattooed is washed with lotion which sets
the color it penetrates the deep scratches
made by the pointed instrument. AS the child
grows, the blotch increases, until it disfgures
an otherwise attractive face.
The farmer who had rescued our mounts
Imperial Valley press., 1936-11-29

I'd known Scrawny beasts, with a native mat
bound around them by straw ropes: no saddles.
On the mats we rode away. The mounts halted
when they thought of it. nibbling grass beside
the road, or just to enjoy rest They'd been
born in cold climate, and what blood they
possessed coursed slowly through their tired
veins
"A /E BEGAN after time, to meet groups
Wv of Anus, on our way to the Kings City
(they have king, unofficial but dictator in
their own village life). How did these hairy
people reach the Island of Yezo? No one knows,
but theory does exist-to the effect that this
tribe descended from the cave-dwellers of South
ern Europe, and were driven across the conti-
nent It is certain they were already in posses
sion when the Son of Heaven took up his reign;
making a journey across his domains he en-
countered these barbarous hairy tribes, and
other uncivilized peoples. Of these, only the
Anus remain. But the Anus are a mystery
today as they centuries ago. They do not
resemble the Japanese, who despise them as an
inferior race (Which is questionable).
The Anus are a lonely people, not minghng
with other natives and leaving their villages
only to appear in travelling road shows: they
are the "Wild Men of Borneo" of the Far East.
They were, luckily, hospitable AS night drew
in upon us, and chill crept over the hilly coun-
try we found that we approached a native
hamlet Soon we came to little inn owned by
a Japanese, who rushed out with the news that
a bear feast was planned.
My interpreter asked questions in Japanese,
and l gathered that he inquiring if we
might attend
1 determined to stop and see the celebration,
and took bed on the floor again in that little
inn 1t was clean, not too uncomfortable tmost
comforts are a matter of habit), and didn't
wish to miss the sem-religious affair, which is
unique, and a strictly Ainu rite
S IN most ancient religions, feasting and
~ prayer go hand in hand When the Anus
find cub bear it's time for prayer and giving
thanks-except for the bear The animal is
taken alive, placed in a pen, fed by all neighbors
who pass that way; it is fattened for feast
When full grown, the day is appointed and the
village population gathers at the place to feast
The bear is so well cared for that frequently
(if the bear is very young) a nursing human
mother is found and engaged to suckle the
young cub until it is old enough to feed itself
Strange? Not very-for stranger things than
this happen in the Orient.
The people gather deep pit is dug, fire
kndled and stones brought to red heat On
these stones the carcass of the bear is placed,
covered with bark, and stays there until thor
oughly cooked: and it takes lot of heat to
cook that bear! When steaming hot, It is sliced
into portions and served to the impatient crowd
