§HE "No," or mask
play, is not the crea
tion of one time or
one ago; it has an
old history, since it
was born like a
mystery from the
national impulse and
love of literature
and legends from
our almost blind be
ef in Buddhism and ghosts, which
as encouraged first in the feudal
;:ge by the Ashikaga lords from the
fourteenth century down to the close
of the sixteenth century. It was in
(hose days that we formed the nation
al epics or poems —that is to say, the
"No" plays; it was the first time and
last in the history of Japanese litera
ture to have the various traditions
and legends, the certain Buddhistic
faith and imagination (those things
hopelessly neglected by the aristo
cratic literature of the Kyoto court in
the former age), dressed in pure liter
ature. I said it was the last, because
The novels and dramas that were sent
out later on in the Tokugawa age
were not, in a large measure, new at
tempts from those of the Ashikaga
ages, but only an emphasis. Yoshi
mitsu, the third lord of the Ashikaga
government, the propagandist of the
tea ceremonies and refined arts, may
he said to have been the first encour
ager of the "No;" and at the time
Yoshirnasa, the eighth lord, it had
heen roughly completed as we have it
today. Indue time. Ashikaga's power
declined, and the most wonderful war
god arose on the horizon in the per
son of Hideyoshi, the Napoleon of
Japan, who, on the other hand, was
•no small patron of art and literature.
The "No" was not left in oblivion In
his time, but many new pieces were
added to the already great number of
the repertory, and alterations were
made in those already in practise.
When the times came down to the
Tokugawa feudal era of the seven
teenth century, the period of peace
and prosperity, it had become the
most important factor of the nation's
life. To recite lines from the "No."
and to act on the stage if possible,
■was regarded to be one of a gentle
man's accomplishments; the "No"
play in contrast to the common thea
ter held the most dignified, noble
place of entertainment And so it is
today. It was thought even sacred
and it began to assume the most nec
essary role at a wedding ceremony.
With the singing of a passage from
"Takasago" your wedlock will be
nealed.
"Takasago," the happy play celebrat
ing constancy, endurance, health and
longevity, is represented by an old
man and an old woman busy in the

the pine trees. The passage says:
"True it is that these pine trees
shed not all their leaves, their verdure
remains fresh for ages long; even
among evergreen trees —the emblems
of unchangeableness—exalted is their
fame to the end of time—the fame of
the two pine trees that have grown
old together." What are these two
pine trees? Who are the old man and
woman? The ghosts of the trees are
nothing but the old man and woman
singing the age of golden and happy
life. Oh, pine trees of the color o?
eternity and life, you are the symbol
of peace and joy. Among some 300
repertories now in existence there is
no other like "The Robe of Feathers"
that will gracefully carry the delicate
statuesque beauty of composition and
sentiment. It is the play of a fairy
whose feather robe was stolen by a
fisherman on Mio's pine-clad shore,
while she was bathing, and upon her
promise to dance was given back

And she promised that she would

and would leave her dance behind

robe should b«- restored her. However,

at all; then the fairy said:
"Fie on thee! The pledge of mortals
may be doubted, but in heavenly be
ings there is no falsehood."
As 1 said, the "No" is the creation
of the age when by the virtue of sutra,
or Buddha's holy name, any straying
ghosts or spirits in Hades were be
lieved to enter Nirvana. There is no
wonder that most of the plays have to
deal with those ghosts and Duddhism.
Here we have one play, called "Morn
ing Glory;" the flower cannot enter
Nirvana on account of her short life
of only one morning and of her Jeal
ousies that burn on seeing the other
flowers who enjoy a longer life. How
ever, her ghost will disappear with
satisfaction when the monk gives her
a sermon that eternity Is nothing but
a moment, and to live in a moment la
to live in the ages. The "No's" ghost-
Ilness and poetical Imagination reach
the climax in the play of "Yamauba,"
or the Mountain-woman, whose author
is said to be Ikkyu, the famous priest.
What does It represent? It Is the
play of a dancer called Yamauba, who
strayed into a mountain, and actually
saw the mountain-woman'B mountain
wanderitig. Our life is a sort of moun
tain where we wander; the mountain
woman is a symbol of transmigration
of soul and endlessness. And the dan
cer, Yamauba, Is the Incarnation of
the ghost of the mountain woman, who
dances and wanders with her own
real soul In the mountain. Such a
symbolic play, I think, could be very
well adapted to the western stage.
Who wrote those "No" plays, you ask?
The names of the authors are forgot
ten ages ago. because they were writ
ten in the time when we never asked
who wrote them If the plays them
selves were good.

THE GENTLE SHEEP AS A RAPID
FIRE MONEYMAKER.
An enormous number of sheep are
coming into the Union Stock Yards,
Chicago, which are being sent there
by Western grazers on account of
the scarcity of feed in that section
of the country, and which must be
sold at buyers' prices.
The states of Michigan, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, ars well provided
with good feed and an opportunity of
this kind, if offered by one of the
great dry goods houses or department
stores of Chicago, would deplete three
quarters of the homes of that city of
its womenkind inside of half an hour
after the notice appeared. All they
would want would be time enough to
throw a few clothes over them; some
wouldn't even stop to put "rats" in
their hair, thousands would forget
the "powder," none would stop to
"paint," but every "father's daugh
ter" of them would make a "B" line
to hubbies' pants, and extract there
from without leave, license or con
sent, all that therein was to be found
in the shape of cash, and then tum
ble over each other to be first on the
spot.
I.ots of these women Would buy
much more than they required, and
would quietly hold over their pur
chases until the close of the sale, and
then let loose their surplus stock up
on their less wide awake friends, and
reap thereby a harvest of "sbeckels"
which we may take for granted would
be at once returned to the trouser
pockets of their husbands while those
gentlemen still slept. That is the
woman of it.
I-et us take a lesson from her
thrifty and honest example. Extract
ing from the pockets of a slumbering
spouse, under such circumstances is
not robbery, it is only borrowing, and
more than that, it is borrowing on
account of that most beautiful of all
female characteristics thoughtful
consideration- —She did not wish to
disturb the peaceful rest of her softly
sleeping consort.
Sheep feeding at this particular
time, and after the season of West
ern drought just experienced, will bo
most profitable to those who are for
tunate enough to have the feed, and
such as have, can in the course of
sixty days turn over their money in
such a satisfactory way as will add
very largely to their bank accounts.
There Is nothing in sight at the
present moment, that offers a better
and safer investment than the pur
chase of these sheep, in numbers that
each buyer can accommodate, and
nothing that offers so speedy and so
certain a return.
No Help Needed.
A little miss of five years who
been allowed to stay up for an eve
ning party, was told about 8:30 togo
to bed. Very, very slowly she moved
toward the stair. An aunt, seeing her
reluctant, asked:
"Helen, can I do anything to help
you?"
"No," replied Helen, "I will get |
there altogether too soon as it is."
Something About Chlnaware.
Every woman Is proud of her china,
and wants to keep it looking new and
perfect. So often she will use the
wrong kind of soap on it and injure !
it in appearance—make it look worn
and cheap. "Easy Task Soap"—the
hard, white, pure laundry soap—is the
only kind to use on china. Not only
does it clean china quickly and safely,
but its antiseptic qualities sterilize the
china. In these days of germ-caused
diseases this is an important point

HIS RUBBERS HAD VANISHED
j Consequently Man From the Country j
Had Little Use for City
Methods.
The benches in the waiting rooms
at the Union depot In Kansas City are
used for other purposes than to rest
on by travelers, the Kansas City Star
enlightens us. At every midnight the j
maids clean out the rooms. They do j
not forget to poke under the benches \
for stray bundles left by trusting !
travelers.
Sometimes, after intervals, the trav- I
elers return to claim their property. I
Some time ago a red cap at the depot !
saw a man in a linen duster, a felt hat j.
and the manner of one who had spent |
his life in a secluded part of tb« j
Ozarks get down on his knees and !
peer carefully under several of the j
benches.
"Lost anything, mister?" the red cap
queried.
"Wall, no, sonny, not 'zactly. I left
a pair of rubbers here last January
when I was on the way tew Emporey. j
Hain't seen nuthin' of 'em, have you?" j
The red cap explained that he ;
hadn't, and, moreover, that the room j
had been cleaned out several dozen j
times since last January.
"Well, I swan," replied the traveler, j
blinking and stroking his beard. "The
city methods do beat me."
Why He Wouldn't Hurry.
They were riding to' church and '
were late. Several of the party were j
worried and one remarked: "The au- j
dience will be waiting." "Well," ob
served the old pastor (who was to
preach that forenoon), "don't let's fret j
over it if we are a little late. It re- j
minds me of the man who was being \
taken to execution. His guards were ;
greatly exercised over the fact that j
they could not possibly get there on
time. 'Never rnind,' said the poor fel
low, philosophically. 'Don't fuss over
it. The people can wait. There'll be \
j nothing doing till I get there.'" —
