the hauteur OF his daughter shortly
after her arrival with her prince OF a
husband. She looked down upon the
ordinary financiers' families and in one
case inflicted a severe snub. The wo-

noteworthy that the influence now

Is because OF assertions that IL Hunt

One development of commerce was for
many years entirely unknown The bright,

not then exist. He began to be seen as
soon as railroads became common, or per-
haps a little before There could not have
been many before 1910. There. were, how
ever, statesmen who frequented the princi-
pal hotels, such as Bunker's, Lovejoys s, the
Howard House, the United States and the
AStor long before this. They had fine
memory of faces and of names, and spent
much of their time in scanning hotel reg
listers and in being in the Hobbies of inns,
so that when merchants arrived from the
country they might be on hand to welcome
them and to escort them to their place of
business. Little scrutiny of hotel lists is
now made, but this was then the most OBJ
yious method of increasing and holding
trade There was in 1880 no way of know
ing with reasonable certainty the rating of
a dealer some distance away. Commercial
agencies were not then established, and
selling to the retail trade was much more
of a lottery than it is now. Those whole
salers were successful who were the best

A Talk With the Chief Priest.

While we were getting dinner the chief
priest. the highest Buddhist in Corea, came
down to see me. He was q man of ;bout
fifty. with a head as bald as a billiard
ball and complexion like that of n we'll
beaten drum head He was withered and
wrinkled, but his little black eyes twmkled
out of their buttonhole Sits, and he was
affable ard pleasant. He squatted on his
heels on the floor for a time, and then,
upon my asking him to take dinner with
me. he Sat down cross-legged and We dis
cussed matters together while our aged
rooster was cooking. L had good variety
of wines with me, and l offered the chief
