people with all kinds of injuries. One
never knows when he has offended
one of these spirits, SO must live in
constant dread which impels the
making of expensive offerings to APP
pease their anger. 1t 10 estimated
that demend worship costs the people
of Korea two and half million dol
lars year.
The demons are supposed to be the
spirits of people who have died in
poverty and are now wandering
about the world in cold. hunger and
nakedDess, affecting in various ways
those who do not supply their needs.
1t is said in the city of Seoul there are
three thousand sorceresses that are
paid large sums for influencing the
spirits.
In the yard Of each heather home
is bunch of straw which is the spirit
nest and on certain days of each
month offerings and some food are
placed on the nest for the spirits.
While demon worship Is the pre-
vailing religion of the country there
is mingled with it some Confucianism
and Buddhism. Ancestral worship as
practiced by Confucianists does not
hold here as in China; that
the happiness of the father in
the other world depends on
the faithfulness of the children in Of
fering sacrifices. In Korea 1t effects
the reputation of the son as being a
man who shows respect to the spirit
of his father living in the ancestral
tablet.
These Confucianists believe that
man has three souls. After
death one wsnders about on the
earth, one resides in the grave

with the body and the other takes up
its abode in the ancestral tablet which
is kept in the home in vacant room,
if there is one in the home, but If the
family is too poor to afford a vacant
room, it is kept in box on one side
of the room where the family stays.
The common people worship for two
generations back high officials wor-
ship for four; the King five.
When a man dies it is often days
before a place for the grave can be
decided upon. 1t is believed that a
well-chosen site for the grave brings
wealth and many sons to the man
that is buried. A geomancer is con-
suited and he must choose the place
for the grave When the grave site
has finally been chosen they start
with long procession of lanterns at
dusk with loud mourning. After the
grave has been made they place small
tables in front of 1t upon which are
offerings of wine and dried fish. The
relatives bow TO the ground many
times wishing peace to the spirit that
is to remain in the grave. Then they
make offerings and worship the spirit
that is supposed to preside over the
place. These are only q few of the

Raise Stock.

According to the statistics America
is short on the production of horses,
cattle and sheep, all OF which it will
pay to raise several years better than
other kinds of stock. The advance
has been greater during the year on
horses and cattle. During the pat
hard times men, If they bred their
mares at all, raised mules, the result is
horses are high and mules low. An
other thing that has caused the adj
vance in horses is the European de-
msnd, which will take 100000 this
season, and they want only big high
styled, stout horses. The passing of
the bicycle craze and the horseless
carriage has also worked an advance.
One of the main reasons for the sd-
vancing prices is the increased de-
mand and scant supply; when any
thing is scarce we want 1t more than
when it is plentiful. In other words
human nature wants what it cannot
get.
The high price of cattle is caused
by the increased consumption, brought
about by the low price of beef and
the Indifference of the farmer to rails
ing stock that didn't pay. The re-
suit of one is the increase of demand
and of the other is fewer numbers
raised. and the two put together
causes the present high prices. There
is every reason to believe that the
prices of both will remain high for a
long time, as it takes several years to
make good big shortage.

A Suicide.

Col. M. Lewis Clarke, one of the
best known men in racing circles in
the United States, committed saicide
at the CASTOR Hotel, in Memphis,
Tenn, on Saturday morning. There
is no known reason why Col. Clarke
took his own life, unless it was due
to dependency over sickness. He
had been complaining for several
days and it is also said had been
drinking heavily. Col. Clarke did
more tor the racing interests in Ken

many queer things that they believe
and do. have not learned about
them all as vet.
1t is blessed 10 know that in the
midst of such heather darkness the
seeds of Christianity are being plant
ed and that there are many witnesses
for Christ. Last fall when the polit-
ical excitement was at it's highest and
the native Christians were threatened
thousand Korean Christians met to
petition the King for protection. They
began their meeting with prayer and
it seemed to have good effect as the
troubles subsidized and all has been
quiet since,
wrote you about the attempt to
kill Mr.. Yorn, who was one of the
leaders OF the Independents. His one
purpose seems to be to do something
that will inspire his fellow-country-
men to higher life. He has preach
ed for DR.. Reid all winter just the
same as he has been doing during the
past three years, since DR.. Reid has
been here. All the time the members
of the peddlers club have been trying
to find chance to kill him. He is a
splendid example of man, that can
be loyal both to Christ and to his
country, and his life is the result of
missionary work, as you can see from
the little sketch of his life and his
wife's which L will enclose. Two
weeks ago he gave DR.. Reid piece
of ground valued at $500 for the
mission. and his father gave 81, 600 in
money! wonderful gift for Ko-
rean.
The King offered Mr.. Yum several
important offices in the government
and he refused them all, because he
knew that he could not do anything
for his country, as he would have to
work with the many other officials
who were opposed to advancement :.
The King has lately appointed him
Governor of Wansan, about six days
journey from here. He did not want
to accept the position but his father
urged it SO he went there last week TO
take the position.
We heard last night that the King
had sent number of policemen over
there in disguise. 1t is thought now
that the King wanted to send him
there so that his enemies might get at
him. He was protected here by his
foreign friends, SO that they could do
nothing with him. His family is
still here. His wife is splendid. We
visit her. She and his mother spent
the day with us yesterday. She
speaks English, Chinese and Korean.
The mother-in-lsw speaks only Ko-
resn. They have three children
now-Lsura Hsygood and two little
boys, one three months old.
The Korean New Years day came
on February 10. On that day the en-
tire nation, from the patrician of the
bluest blood tu the coolie, appeared
in spotless white, new or freshly
laundried garments, aud the children
in variegated costumes OF brilliant
colors.
They celebrate two weeks, closing
their festivities on the 18th, which is
the most important day Of the year.

Ny Dear Friends. Maguisrs, Trimbles
and Whites:
Four monthss have passed since I
left the home land and 1 have had
only three letters from you, one on
the stesmer;and two here.
Mrs. Campbell was called two
weeksago to Songdi to assist in TAX
ing care of Mr.. Collyer, one of the
missionaries:there.. who has a most
severe case of typhoid. Miss Yum
OR. Yum and 1 have charge of
things here-the, school, the servants,
the home, etc.
Songdi lie the place to which Bishop
Wilson, when he.was here in Septem-
Der. appointed me, but my going has
been prevented in various ways.
There are two.families of our mission
there, DR.. Hardie's family and Mr..
Collyer's, but no other foreign people
in the place. Mrs. Ballenger, lady
from San Francisco, was teaching DR..
Hardie's children. She took smallpox
the End week in January and died in
six days. When she was first taken
sick they did not know what the sick
ness was and put her in the room that
I was to have had, but when the
trouble was known, she was taken to
a room in the yard where she died.
The members of the two families had
been successfully vaccinated so none
of them took it. Had 1 been there 1
would have probably been victim,
as have since been vaccinated and
it took well. 1t seems provideDtial
that my going had been prevented,

the streets. While we try to take
every precaution to prevent it, do not
feel at all nervous. Our great life
keeper is able to protect under all cir
cumstances. Yet the death of Chris
tian makes deep Impressions on the
Koreans who so much fear death,
hence God may see fit to use some of
us in that way to show them the val
ne of Christianity to the dying, so
should 1 be taken speedily, we shall
not feel that my coming to Korea was
in vain.
The demon worship, which is the
religion of the country, suggests
nothing to the heather mind
of the joys or woes of future life as
does Christianity, but it gives con-
slant dread and fear OF the myriads Of
evil spirits that throng the earth, as is
believed, having power to aflllct the
