FREE FIGHTS IN coREA.
Fierce Encounters Between Contendine
Guilds

Guilds.
Remarkable features of the sociaI
life of the capital, Chosen, are the
various guilds and their great stone
and stick fights. Neighboring town.
and villages who are jealous of each
other also settle their differences by a
stone fight in the first moon, such
period being universally set aside for
fights, both public and private. Chill
dren are encouraged to fight by their
parents, who hope to make them hardy
and courageous-sides are made ur
and they fight till they are exhausted.
The butchers and the mud plasterers
had a fierce feud, and it was decided
to settle it by pitched battle on a
plain outside the south gate. On the
day appointed some eighteen hundred
men went down to fight, stream
dividing the two camps
The battle began with volleys OF
stones as the belligerents neared each
other, and when one party forced its
way over the stream and all came to
close quarters the fighting was carried
on with clubs and knives. 1t was a
drawn battle, so the leaders decided,
and was renewed few days later, VIC
tory eventually resting with the plas.
tercrs. Very few were killed, says Mr..
Lander, though none escaped without
a wound; but the whole affair sounds
like one of Lucian's grotesque battles.
The court patronizes these extraordi-
nary duels. and the king is kept in

course, take care that the by-standers
do not come in for any hard knocks.

Quent showers, which, with cool

cially in southern counties, where it
is nearly finished, and in the central
part of the state, where it is over
half done. In the northern section
1t has only started, and very little
wheat has been cut there. AS the
harvest progresses the reports of
damage to the crop from various
causes are becoming less and less.

A NEW DYSPEPSIA CURE.
Over 5000 People in the State of
Michigan Cured in 1894 by This
New Preparation

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the new
discovery for stomach troubles, is
claimed to have cured over 5000 people
in the state of Michigan alone in 1894.
These tablets have become so popular
with physicians and people who have
any form of indigestion that they have
the Endorsement of such physicians as
DR.. HarlandSon and DR.. Jennison as
being the safest, most reliable rem
edy for sour stomach, chronic dyspep-
STA, gas, bloating, palpitation, head
ache, constipation, and in all cases
where the appetite is poor or the food
imperfectly digested.
1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure any kind of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach. They are not a secret patent
medicine but composed of vegetable
and fruit essences, pure pepsin, Golden
Seal, ginger and the digestive acids.
They are pleasant to take, can be car
ried in the pocket, and they cure be-
cause they digest the food promptly
before it has time to ferment and
poison the blood.
Druggists everywhere sell Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, full sized packages,
at so cents. A book on stomach dis
eases and thousands of testimonials
