The sympathy OF tho civilized

the bone OF contention while the two
countries are fighting. In such a
case sympathy for either OF the cosl-
batants will be crowded out by mS'e
pressing emotions. japan Is little,
but she is alive. She is the most
progressive among the Oriental ma

THE country known as Corea re-
sembles many other oriental regions
in the fact that the name which
foreigners use to designate it is but
little known in the country itself.
The name "Corea" was originally
"Corie," the title of a trivial state
on the peninsula, but the japanese
and Chinese applied it, in various
forms 30 the entire country. The
true Official title OF "Corea" was
adopted when the various peninsular
states were consolidated in the four
teenth century. 1t is "Chaosien"
or "Tsiosen." and means serenity
OF the morning."

GREAT forest fires are reported in
different parts of the Northwest and
particularly in the pine regions of
Northern Wisconsin, where the
damage has already amounted to
millions of dollars. These forest
fires have prevailed annually since
the country was settled, and they
will doubtless continue until the
great numbering regions with their
combustible materials are perman-
emily replaced by cultivated farms.

Men Have "Funny ways" Too.

Men Have "Funny Ways" Too.
The little peculiarities of women
are fruitful topic with some mascu-
line writer's. They continually rush
into print with such questions as:
Why does a woman always want to
know if her hat is on straight? Why
does she keep you waiting ten min
utes after she's declared she's all
ready? Why does she this, that and
the other? Here's a counter blast
from woman writer in the New
York Journal. Why does a man
always have lengthened and often
profane interviews with his collar
button? 1t looks like an inoffensive
sort of an article to an outsider. Why
does he rush through his dressing and
throw everything all over the room,
because he's in such a hurry-he
"knows he'll be late'-and then spend
a good five minutes filing and light
ing his ppe? Why does he never
put together and fold up newspaper?
Why, when pretty girl praises an
other mans charming manner" does
he say the girl is "soft?" Why does
he declare that handsome and popular
young actors are ''sticks?" Why can
he never, by any possibility, find any
thing he is sent to look for in closet
or drawer? Why is his headache or
toothache so much worse than any
body else's ever was? Why is it al
ways his liver that does not work,
instead of the Welsh rarebit and mnce
pie that have worked? Why will he
go out after a rain without overshoes
and then preach about the vanity of
women? Why does it rain too hard TO
go to church, but not too hard TO go
TO dinner or theater or club on any
succeeding stormy day? Way does
he suppose when he notes womln's
funny ways" that women are not at
the same time noticing his own funny
