The Forty-Third Anniversary Of the
Y. M. G. A. Of This City.
The FOUNDERS And THEIR WORK
The Efforts Put Forth for the
Benefit Of Young Men.
AN NFLAGG ING ZEAL

Tomorrow the Young Mems Christian
Association of this city will celebrate in
quiet way the forty-third anniversary of
its organization. This institution. so firmly
founded now, and SO widely recognized by
the citizens of the community, regardless
of sect or denomination, one of the safe
guards of the city, is among the very old
est of the kind in America. To be sure, the
first American organization was not effect
ed here, but the idea that was brought
from England, where the Y. NJ. c. A. was
started by London Diapers clerk in 1911
spread with almost equal rapidity through
the east and associations were started in
but little difference in time. This city later
became in a stronger sense the progenitor
of Y. NJ. c. A. work through the nation,
for 1t was through the efforts of one of the
founders Of the Washington association,
Mr.. VIM. G. Langdon, that the national
organization was effected, and the asso-
ciational work was placed on broad, eff
fective basis.
The local organization was the result of
the concurrent thought of three young men
of religious instincts, who believed that
there could be a great deal of good done
by banding together the active members of
the community in an interdenomina tional
effort to interest all the people, especially
the youths, in spiritual matters, and to af-
ford good means of relief from the temp
tations that every large city throws about
young mel. The idea of the Y. NJ. c. 4.
that had been started in London was the
inspiration of the movement. These three

and to propose the establishment of
union of kindred societies in this country.
The Washington Association took the
initiative in a movement for a national con-
ference, and although opposed by the Bos-
ten and New York associations, a conven-
ton was held In Buffalo, N. Y, where
nineteen associations We're represented by
forty delegates. The Washington delegates
were Rev Byron Sunderland, u. Richards.

Rhees was elected secretary OF the CON
yention. and a Young Mems Christian Con-
federation of the United States and the
British Provinces was organized.

Art in COren.

From the Argonaut.
A young Englishman visiting Corea was
induced to paint the portrait of the COM
mander-in-chief of the Corean land forces,
Prince Min Yomy Huan.
Eleven o'clock in the morning was fixed
for the sitting At $50 the prince, having
been unable to sleep for excitement. ar
rived at the place of appointment and the
artist was forced to hop out of bed and be-
gin work.
LAS 1 POSED him." says the artist, "he
did not utter word or wink an eye. And
during the whole of the sitting of three
hours he sat motionlesS and speechless,
like a statue.
'1t is finished I finally said and he
sprang up in a childish fashion and came
over to look at the work. His delight
was unbounded, and he seized my hand
and shook 1t at intervals for half an hour,
after which he suddenly became grave,
stared at the canvas and then looked at
the back of it. He seemed Mortified
What is it? 1 inquired.
You have not put in my jade ornament
he said, almost in despair.
Il had painted his portrait full face, and,
as the Coreans have the strange notion of
wearing their decorations in the shape of
small button of gold silver, jade am
ber behind the left ear, this did not appear
thereon.
II then tried to demonstrate, saying that
it was impossible to show both back and
front at once. but he seemed distressed at
what was. to him, great defect; 1 COM
promised the matter by making another
large but rapid sketch of him from side
point of view, so as to include the decora-
ton and the rest rather magnified in size.
You will find no fault with this one,' 1
remarked, with confidence
Alas, my Corean sitter advanced to the
portrait, scrutinized it carefully and turned
to me aggrievedly.
Yes he admitted. you have painted
my decoration wen, but where is my other
eye?"

there was room but for a library, which

were imperatively needed, and these were
obtained in the buildng-first two rooms on
the second floor and then one more room.

The FOur-Post Bedstead.
from London Titbits


In medieval times, when life was very
insecure, 1t usual for people to sleep
on ped which was surrounded by sides
of board, with strcng posts at the four
corners. These sides contained sliding
doors, which could be fastened inside. When
men retired to rest they took a weapon
with them. If attacked in the night they
were aroused by the noise made by the
crashing in of their wooden defenses, and
were able to defend themselves. When the
law became strong enough to protect hu-
man life. the sides of the bedsteads were
gradually dispensed with, but the four
posts remained. The box-like bedstead still
survives in the rural parts of Scotland, and
is almost necessary where the earthen
floors and imperfect ceilings cause much
damp. Emily BroEte. in 'Wuthering
Heights" describes one of these bedsteads
in the old mansion as forming a little
closet" Mr.. Lockwood who had to sleep
in it, says: Il slid back the panel sides,
got in with my light, pulled them together
again, and felt secure"
