Society Editors Instruct Youths as to
Their Uses.
The society editor was humming a
liue that ran something like this:
ooh, the queer things we do and the
queer things we say.
"What are some Of them?" demand
ed the man who does little Of every
thing.
"Well," replied tho society editor,
"today young man came in to get a
society item in the paper. 1t was about
a theater party or something of that
sort, and he had it all nicely written
out, and down at the bottom of the page
was the statement that the party would
be chaperoned by Miss Blank. !"
"Well?" said the man who does lit
tie of everything, but who is neverthe-
less not posted ON society matters.
"Well, explained the society edi-
tor, "of course there is no law, written
or unwritten, that says party of young
people may not be chaperoned by an
unmarried woman, although it is not
usual, for she is supposed under such
circumstances TO be of mature age and
considerable experience.
"'This Miss Blank is not a young
lady, suggested, and he was angry in
a minute.
"'Who says she isn't?' he demanded.
Then he added, i happen to know that
she is just 10 years old.
"'She can't very we'll chaperon the
party, then, / said.
"'Who says she can't?' he demanded
again. She's just as good as any Of the
swells ON the Lake Shore drive, and
don't you forget it..
II explained to him very carefully
that a chaperon should be matron or
woman of mature years, and he quiet
ed down.
"'Well, he said, of course we've got
to have chaperon SOS to be in style.
The girls are all set on doing the thing
right and proper, and we boys have I'M
dertaken to see it through. Maybe Miss
Jones would do for chaperon. She's
20 years old.
Hardly. l replied. If you feel
that you must have chaperon. the
thing for you to do is to invite some
matron to accompany you.
Well, L guess not, he answered
with emphasis. why, that would spoil
half the fun, and besides we'd have to
put up for her ticket. If one Of the girls
cam be the chaperon, you can just cross
that part of it out
Then the society editor again began

Children's Day exercises were OBJ
served in the First M, T.. church on

was very creditably rendered. After
the exercises a short address was
made by the pastor, in which he en-
deavored to impress upon the minds
of the hearers. their duty as Christ

impressed by few remarks from Mr..

ADMIRAL JoHY RODGERS, u. S. N.


The Monocaoy and Palos then ran up
and shelled the Koreans ont of their
works. When the ships returned to the
rendezvous, Rodgers wanted to take
speedy vengeance for the insult to the
flag, although not q life had been taken
by the Koreans. At the request of Mr.
Low he waited ten days for an apology.
Having no sign from the Koreans at
the end of the time, Admiral Rodgers
dispatched the same vessels and launch
es, REINFORCED by $50 marines, to the
scene of the outrage. As the ships and
boats moved up the river the bands
played the popular sailor airs Of Amer
lea, the crews alternately singing and
cheering. The marines landed on the
mud fiat, where the water then stood
waist deep, and at the same time the
ships opened on the forts.
In the way of the Land force there
was line of works well manned, but
the Koreans in them did not stand for
attack. The commander of this force,
Admiral Kimberly (rotired), pushed ON
up the height his men dragging along
a 10 FOUNDER Dahlgren gun, which was
planted before fort Night coming ON,
he threw out pickets and biyouacked his
men to await the dawn Of day. Early
next morning the ships opened on the
second line, and the marines charged
directly upon the works.
AT long range the Koreans were poor
marksmen, but when the marines leaped
the parapets they found them good fight
ers in a melee. Lieutenant Mckee, the
American leader, was shot and then
speared to death. Great slaughter fol
lowed and 243 dead Koreans were bur
led from the main citadel alone. This
fort and its walls and bitches showed
the terrible effect Of the vigorous she'll
ing from the Monocacy's guns which
had preceded the land attack Bodies
mangled by exploding shells lay scatter
ed in the bitches and pits and over the
parade ground in the center Of the fort.
The commander in chief had killed
himself in chagrin at the loss Of his
stronghold and was found in the river
below the forts with his throat cut.
Among the wounded and dead, appar
emily dead, his haggard, uncovered face
being turned to tho sun, lay the second
in command. When he was lifted by
the marines for burial, be could no lon
ger sham death with safety and set a
yell which was Enthusiastically that of q
live man. a bad wound il the thigh
eaysed some of the symptoms which
hvlped on the ruse.
The capture Of this work decided the
fight. Hosting the stars and stripes, the
marines christened it Fort Palos. The at
tack came none to soon, for the ten days
of grace had been passed by the Koreans
in preparations for war. Soldiers We're

inhabitants had but one expression to
recall the event. 1t was, "Oh, those

LEISuRELY LANE.

Is there no road now TO Leisureiy laneS We
travelled it long ago,
A place for the tagging of leisurely steps, sweet
and shady and slow.
There were rims of restful hills beyond and
fields of dreamful wheat,
With shadows Of clouds across them blown and
peoples asleep at our feet
There lads and maids on Sunday met and
strolled them, two and two.
The leaves they laced in a roof oerhead, and
only the sun peered through,
And there was time to gather rose and time
for the woodbird s call
And plenty of time to sit by a stream and
hearken its ripple and fall.
Is there no road now to Leisurely laneP God
knows we have hurried ATARI
There was once a lamp through the breeding
dusk, and over the tree star.
There was once a breath of the clover bloom
sweet heaven, we have hurried SO long =
And there was gate by white rose clasped,
and out of the dusk song.
That song-the echo is strange and sweet; the
voice--it is weak and old
1t hath no part with this fierce, wild rush and
this hard, mad fight for gold
1t hath no part with the clamor and din and
the Earring of wheel and stone
Oh, listen, my heart, and forget forget that
we reap the bread we have sownl
Is there no road now to Leisurely lane, where,
lingering, one by one,
The summoning bells of twilight time over the
meadows blown
May find us strolling our homeward way, glad
of the evening star?
Is there no road now to I,eisurely lane2 God
knows we have urried ATARI

On tho 25th of June the American
merchantmen Pembroke was fred upon
in. the straits of Simonoseki by two
Japanese vessels, bark and a brig, that
had been put afoat expressly to make
war on the barbarians, as all foreign
ers were called. The attacking vessels
belonged to Prince Choisou, jingo
leader of the Japs, who didn't relish
outside interference with his corrupt
sway. When the news of the insult to
our flag reached Yokohama on July 10,
Captain Macdougal of the Wyoming
was ordered to enter the bailiwiok Of
the naughty Choisou, flying the United
States oolors, and read the prince and
his vassals lesson from the mouths of
American cannon.
The cruiser sailed at once and on
rounding a point in the strait at day
light on the 10th sighted a row of
frowning batteries, with brig and a
bark lying under their guns. An iron
steamer mounting four guns commanded
the channel. The Wyoming carried four
thirty -twos and two II inch Dahlgrens.
On the japanese vessels were 20 guns,
all told, chiefly twenty-fours. AS the
Wyoming sailed past the shore batteries
opened heavily. The answer was several
rousing American broadsides. When

The launches which led the survey
ing fotilla were lightly manned by
armed sailors, and each carried a boat
howitzer. They steamed ahead Of the
ships, and at certain bend in the river
near which the Koreans had strong
fort they were fired upon by at least a
score of guns. The fire was Intellectual
because the guns could not be shifted
as the targets moved on up the river.

Captain John Rodgers, a war hero and
the son of gallant commander in the
war of 1912, took command of the
Asiatic squadron. That was late in
1870.
Rodgers orders were to make show
of force in Korean waters to help bring
about a treaty for the protection of
American seamen. His feet of six yes.
sells entered the river Han, accompanied
by the United States minister tofChina,
Mr.. f. F. Low. Deputations went ON
board the flagship and stated that the
Koreans wished to be let alone and
would have no dealings with foreigners.
They were told that the feet wished
merely to survey the river. At the end
of week Rodgers sent the warships
Monocacy and Palos, preceded by
launches up the river to carry out the
survey.
