WANTED HIS RECEIPT.
An Oklahoma editor tells of an old
Indian who came into his office to
pay for his paper. The editor took
the money; then the Indian wanted a
receipt. The editor tried to talk him
out of it. Mr. Indian insisted. After
making it out, the editor wanted to
know why he was so persistent about
wanting a receipt. The Indian said:
"Me die some time. Go to big gate
and St. Peter ask if I :been a good In-
dian. I say yes. He say, ‘Did you
pay editor for paper? I say yes. H«
say, ‘Where i^ receipt?’ I no have it.
I have to run all over hell to find you
and get receipt.”—Cowden (111.) Re-
flector.

Brock, Texas, April 3.—Farmers of
Most of their shoes are made of a
smooth piece of hard wood about eight
inches long and five wide. Beneath
these are two cleats running the full
width of the shoe and about three inch-
es apart. These cross pieces keep
the foot about an inch off the ground.
This shoe is held on the foot by two
stiff cords that are fastened to the
sides of the shoe and then meet in an
arch over the instep and join at the
toe where they are fastened to the
wood. They wear blue, purple or
white silk sock" that button close
around the ankle and are constructed
like an old time mitten and leaving a
separate sheath for the big toe. When
the foot is slipped into this shoe, the
cord mentioned above, goes between
the big toe and the others, and en-
ables the wearer to keep it on secure-
ly. On a hard street or pavement,
the metalic click, click of these shoes
sounds exactly like a bunch of horses
on a brick street. fThe women never
wear anything on their head, but the
hair is roached up and over a high
comb that makes it look more abund-
ant than it probably Is. Most of the
time they travel in a little “possum
trot" so slow however that it is no
faster than an ordinary walk. One
day we had an hour to wait for a train
and my wife, daughter and I walked
off several blocks into the thick set-
tlements and turned into one of these
narrow streets—a kind of "Hogan’s
Alley.” In ten minutes there were at
least seventy-five women and children
following us as if we had been three
white elephants. If we tried to give
a, brat anything, he refused and ran
away. It may ‘be a little dangerous
to go too far into such places, but it is
interesting. Every shop, every turn
presents some phase of human exis-
tence entirely new and different to
j anything .we had ever seen before.
and on the principal streets (that is,
the boulevards) there are some tine
shops. I -saw one department store
in Tokyo that covered half a block,
with eight floors and it was estimated
thefe were ten thousand people shop-
ping in it when we were there. At
the door every one who entered was
aggregate and support an1 enormous
number of priests.
'There seems to be two religions in
Japan—Shintoism and Buddhism. The
first is the original religion of the na-
tion until about 1500 years ago when
Buddism came in through China and
almost superceded the Shinto religion.

When we arrived-at Tokyo we went
to the Imperial Hotel. This was built
by a Chicago architect nt a cost of
several million. It is artistic but im-
practical. It is like Poe’s Raven

Some are very beautiful. The next
day we went by train to Nikko, which
is about 140 miles from the capital.
It is up in the mountains. Snow cov-
ered everything and among the moun-
tains it was doubly beautiful where
the dark green forests were seen. We
got a lovely room at the Kanaya Hotel
with hot baths and inviting beds. Love-
ly little Jap girls looked after every
comfort, even bringing slippers for
the men and kimonos for the ladies.
Far above, almost over you, towered
the mountains and hundreds of feet
below was the soft murmur of the
river. It is certainly one of the gar-
den spots of the world.
Japanese and men in public positions
and our English missionaries and
the i school teachers and they all seem to
Japan, have a very smoky idea as to just
what the Japanese do really beleve.
From all these gejrtlemen have told
me, I gather the original Shinto doc-
trine was simply ancestor worship.
The Mikado and^his descendants are
all gods. That he (the original em-
peror) was the originator or forefather
of ail the Japanese people and that
through him every Japanese after
death becomes a small god with all
the emoluments that belong to that
position. Shintoism has no moral code
but presupposes that every one knrfws
right from wrong. That the spirits of
the deceased relatives constantly at-

be very fond of each other and their
children, and are taught to treat all
strangers with consideration and po-
liteness. They are the most prolific
race I ever saw. Children up to five,

back, wrapped In a blanket or quilt out

In rickishas to visit the famous and
most beautiful temple in Japan. Down
to the town below was several hun-
dred yards over a very steep road.
It took a man in front and two behind
to keep the little vehicle from running
away. But one was sufficient when
the street was reached. Turning to
the left, we crossed the beautiful
mountain stream called Daiya. It had
sung to us in the moonlight all the
night, like a southern mocking bird.
On our left was a sacred bridge that
with one arch spans the stream. No
one is allowed to cross this bridge
but the Emperor who goes once a year
to ^worship in the temple beyond it.
The road then winds gently upward
along the left bank of tho stream for
a mile and then turning backward con-
tinues to get higher until the river is
left far below. You are then in a
forest of wonderful cryptomeria trees
much like the California redwood. Far

In each home is a little shrine where
every day food is placed for the spirits
and when a brief supplication is made
for their divine help. It also has
many public shrines, great and small
throughout the nation.
On the other hand, Buddaism is full
of moral precepts, such as that you
should practice mercy, ‘be kind to the
unfortunate, refrain from killing aud
that if you lived up to this code, after
death your scull would pass into
passive condition of contentment.

START RIGHT AND WIN
—A PROPER BEGINNING means the battle half won.
The right beginning means three things: Proper stock, pro-
per hatching, proper brooding, r
—PROPER STOCK means an even start with your com-
petitors and a profit to begin with. You would not start in
the hog industry with razor backs. A hen that lays only
three or four months of the year will not pay her feed bill. I
—PROPER HATCHING means a steady natural devel-
opment from the first- Only this will produce best results.
The BUCKEYE INCUBATOR will do this with care and
attention in the least proportion.
—PROPER BROODING means continued steady and
natural development. Especially during the first three
weeks chicks must be kept comfortably warm and dry. Hens
do not always do this. The BUCKEYE BROODER WILL,
because the heat is mechanically controlled. VISIT THE

when you know it had stood there
eight hundred years; when you
thought how much human effort had
gone into it; how emperors for cen-

worship of any kind going on. It im-
