AMERICAN FLAG IN KANSAS Centennial Anniversary of the First to Be Celebrated. The people of Republic City, In Repub lic county, Kansas, have organised for the purpose of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the visit of Zebulon Montgomery Pike to the village of the Pawnee republic, 3ep-a-day being the ususl number, that their garments do not become soiled ns u, ours. Whfn their kimonos are dirty they either wash them Intact In tiny tubs before which temher 29. l"1fi, when the Spanish flag was hauled down and the symbol of American f-overelgnty substituted. Republic City Is but six miles south of the Nebraska line, and various organizations from both Kan sas and Nebraska will participate In the commemorative exercises on the 29th Inst. While making his famous exploration of western plains and mountains, which resulted in the first knowledge of Plko's peak, Oeneral Pike found a village of Pawnee Indians with the Spanish flag above them, notwithstanding the trnnafer of the country by the Iyoulslnna purchase, and that he caused them to take It down and raise the flag of the United States in Its place. This flag incident Is the first and about the most interesting In the history of Kan sas. In IPnl the state legislature erected a twenty-seven-foot granite shaft on (his village site of the Pawnee republic and placed an Iron fence around eleven acres, the land being (he gift of Kllzabeth A. Johnson. The flag Incident' is thus described by General Pake: "September 29. Held our grand council with the Pawnees, at which were present not less than 400 warriors, the circum stances of which were extremely Interest ing. The notes I took on my grand coun cil held with the Pawnee nntton were seized by the Spanish government, together with all my speeches to the different na tions. But it may be interesting to ob serve here. In case they should never be returned, that the Spnnlards had left several of their flags In this village, one of which was unfurled at the chief's door the day' of the grand council and that among various demands and charges I gave them was. that the said flag should be delivered to me, and one of the United States flags be received and hoisted In Its rlace. This probably was 'carrying the pride of nations a little too far, as there had so lately been a large force of Span ish cavalry at the village, which had made a great impression on the minds of the young men as to their power, consequence, etc., which my appearance, with twenty Infantry, was by no means calculated to remove. "After the chiefs had replied to the various parts of my discourse, but were silent as to the flag, I again reiterated the demand for the flag, adding, 'that It was Impossible for the nation to have two fathers; that they must either bo the children of the Spaniards or acknowledge their American father. After a silence of some time an old man arose, went to the door, took down the Spanish Hag, brought it and laid It at my feet; he then received the American flag 'and elevated j it on the staff which had lately borne the standard of his Catholic majesty. This guve great satisfaction to the Osage and Kans. both of whom decidedly avow them selves to be under American protection. Perceiving that every face in the council was clouded with sorrow, as If some greut national calamity were about to befall them, I took up the contested colors aijd told them that as they had shown tlym scjves dutiful children In acknowledging their great American father. I did not wish to embarrass them with the Spaniards, for It was the wish of the Americana that their red brethren should remain peaceably arc-end their own Area and not embroil themselves in any disputes between (he while people and that for fear the Spun lardb might return there In force again, I returned their flag, but with an Injunction that It should never be hoisted again dur ing our stay.. At this there was a general shout of applause, and the charge was particularly a "ended to." ' JAPAN HAS THESIMPLE LIFE Colleae Professor nad wife Manage to Live rieasaatly on $200 m. Year. A land where a college professor edu cated In America can support a wife and save money on a salary of W00 a year may be said to have achieved the simple life. The house In which the professor lived In Kioto Is described by a writer In the Craftsman as a wooden structure twenty four feet by twenty-five, on a plot of land thirty feet front and fifty feet deep. It was shut in by an artistically made bamboo fence five feet high. The fence was solid, so no prying eyes might see in. Stepping down from the rickshaws we passed through the gat to the vestibule. There, leaving my shoes, and my friend and the maid their sanduls, we entered the house In stocking feet. The flrit room, a six mat one, was nine by twelve feet. It was divided by sliding si reens from the one next tha garden, a corner room twelve feet wide and at that time twenty-four feet long. Through the cesser of this large room were the Iron grooves In the floor and overhead for the sliding screens that at night would divide It into two sleeping rooms, but as the day was warm and fair the, screens had been lifted out and slacked away, leaving an unbroken space. Sinking to the knees In the soft cushions laid on the floor, we awaited lbs arrival of our hostess. A patter of light feet, the sliding of a screen and she appeared. Rest ing our outspread hands before na on the straw mats wa made deep reverences in response to the bows of cordial greeting. Having brought with us, aa a gift, a box of aweets. tied with the red and white gift string and the slip of paper folded like an arrow'e sheaf, we slid It gently toward the little woman. She received It graciously but. according to etiquette neither touched nor opened the box. When formalities weie over and we were pleasantly ehattlng. tn walked the husband and professor, just bar from eollege. The little wife drew out her tiny pipe and took her three put's from It. while tb pro fessor smoked his saliva cigarette as w talked. "I pay twenty yea (J10) a month- rent." ssld tr. Magsi. "That Is high r-n for a professor, but we are so near t rollrgs that I can walk back and forthsvlng the cost of rlrkshaw aid of getting my lunch eon sway. To build such 4 house as this would cost about $?. and the land Is valued t ITO. "Our one servant does all the work, and we pay her thirty yeu a year. To be sure, my wife gives her a kimono now and again, but they cost only a yen apleee. She lived with my wife's mother, and Is trained so she can make up ripped garments and do all necessary sewing. When my wife hue guests she prepsres and serves the meat so well, we need only b-.iy sweets." "Can she wash?" I asked. "Our wash Is so small she can easily do It," he replied. "With vou It would he necessary to send your clothes to a laundry, as I do my foreign garments." Then I remembered that In a Japanese household there are no tablpiotbs, nap kins, sheets, pillow eases or cur'alns to be done up, for none of these are uwvt. The meals are served on Individual lncqurr trays, and each person carries In his rleeve a paper napkin that Is destroyed when soiled. The bedding consisted of fuljnes, hesy wadded comfortables. One laid on the floor served as a bed and a second one furnished nil the covering necessary. Pillows were curved woodn block or hard rolls of rick busk, and o"r these eech night was tied a sheet of fresh white parer The Japenese take so many hot hsths. two they crouch or rip them up an3 wnih out tho pieces. Their drying process takes the place of our Ironing. Tor they never use an iron. The ripped pieces, very wet. ;re spread smooth and tint on long boards. These boards are then stood sg.Vnst the sides of the house In the sun and air. When dry the material Is carefully pulled off end will be as stiff and smooth as if it had been stsrehed and Ironed. "Do tell me what your other erponres are." I asked. "Fuel." he answered, "costs about twenty five yen a year light ten yen, and ten yen I pay to the govr rnment for my house tax. "Then there Is the Item of clothes. Mine are expensive, for I must hnve boh for eign and native, but my wife wis so well provided at our marriage that s'le has bought nothing since. Last year I spent fl'tvyen on clothes. "Our food costs us about a hundred yen. You know there Is never any waste In a Japanese kitchen, and every morsel cooked !s esten. "Four hundred and slxty-flve yen. Yes, that Is close, to what we spent last year, for my salary Is Soft yen a year, nnt t raid off 2T0 yen of my debt." FINE MAPS MADE IN GERMANY Ancient Prlntery In Obseare ' Town Distances the Rest of the World. Germany has the largest and most fam ous map-making establishment In world. It was founded by a poor map maker named Perthes In the little town of Gotha more than 130 years ago. The equipment of the establishment now Is surprising. The geographical library of this house contains over 80,000 volumes. It is about twice as large as any similar library in America, and every book Is so fully indexed by the card system that all the best Information about every moun tain, river, cape, or other geographical feature that has been described may be obtained In a few minutes. This establishment has also a collection of over 150,000 maps. It has all the route surveys of explorers and all the sheets of topographic and other surveys which the nations have procured. This Gotha house Is mentioned here merely because It heads the list of the great map houses. There are a number of others, especially In Germany, France, Scotland, Austria, and Holland, which ap proximate. If they have not entirely at tained, the high standard of the Gotha house. If we should Inspect any of these map plants and see the corps of geographers compiling data for new maps and the busy rooms where the steel and copper engravers, the photographers, the litho graphers, the hand colorlsts, the book bindcrn. and others perform their dally tusks we should be Impressed with the fact that the production of first-class maps requires a large variety of .scientific talent and highly trained technical skill. The wax process of map production used In nearly all American map houses is not employed In any of the leading European establishments. They do not regard It aa 'a "medium through which they can attain the best results. We need not Infer that these map mak ers ever produce an absolutely perfect map. A cartographic product without a blemish was never made. The reason Is that a single misspelling or the slight misdirection of a line is a "blunder. One sheet may contain the essence of many bocks and many maps, and the best that human nature can do is to take every pospfhle precaution, within the limits of Ha frailty, to tell the truth. There arc famous geographers who study maps more than they do books. Dr. Wagner, the professor of. geography in the University of Goetttngen. has never been a great traveler, but he is celebrated for his knowledge of regional geography. A while ago he wrote a very large book on the geography of the earth, In Which he said. that he had derived the greater part of the material for the book from his study of maps. He was able to do thla because In the past half century car tographers have developed to a high de gree of perfection the art of presenting a clear and vivid picture of all the geograph ical conditions of the regions concerned. i . A first rate map is a short road to geo j graphical knowledge. 8uppose we wish to urn someming oi me nisiory or the ex ploration of Africa, which hundreds of explorers have grtdlroned with their routes. How many scores of volumes we should have to examine If we were to seek this Information tn books! But there is a man of Africa In eight large sheets which gives the route of all the explorers who had contributed to our knowledge of Africa up to the time the map was prepared. We see all the dis coveries they made, and the colors show tha nature of the various regions through which they passed. This map gives a bird's-eye view of the whole great subject of African exploration. But many maps are very poor, and the public would not buy them If they knew bow Inaccurate and misleading they' are. They are usually the output of craftsmen who work without geographical supervi sion. There will be less demand for such misinforming products when more school children are taught to distinguish between a good and a poor map. New Tork Times.
