WHERE ONE DARE NOT SMOKE.

Members of the Antitobacco
league should send their congratu-
lations to a worthy magistrate of
Seoul, the capital of Korea. Here
is translation of proclamation
recently issued by him:
"Behold. Smoking grass (Kore-
an for tobacco) is a species Of food,
but in smoking one has to hold up a
long pipe obliquely and swallow
fire-how can it be without injury
to his hygiene? Furthermore one
generally drops live ashes on the
roadside. Should they be taken up
by the god of wind grass rooted,
low huts will, in the twinkle of an
eye, be a prey to flames. That is the
reason why an inferior official like
myself issues herewith an order
strictly forbidding you, the people,
to fool with long pipes and to swal-
low fire. Should any of you dare to
violate this prohibition | shall show
no hesitation in confscating the
pipe and pouch of offending person.
When your offense deserves to be
further dealt with, you shall re-
ceive 800 lashes."

Many people fail to get on In the
world because they will not do the
things that are disagreeable to them.
They gladly pick the flowers in their
vocation, but will not touch the weeds
or thorns. They like to do the things
that are easy and agreeable, but shirk
from the dlsagreeable or laborious.
They go round the hills of difficulty in
stead of over them; they leave the en-
emy half conquered, and he Is always
coming up to attack them unexpected
ly from the rear.
The best way to overcome this dread
of drudgery is to determine resolutely
to do the disagreeable things first.
Take hold of them with vlgor, as you
would grasp nettle If you would
avoid the sting, and after awhile you
will find what seemed so difficult in
conception Is really easy in execution.
The most disagreeable tasks In life,
when viewed in their proper proper

"You simply go it blind in stalk

Klondiker, "and brains don't count

about a year ago. We all heard that
there was gold in a certain section
not far from our camp, and accord

1t was a case of first come first serv-

staked out. Two fellows who were
chums had tried to get claims side
by side, but another man got be-
tween them. They proposed an cx-

"1t's all luck they said, and
we want to work our claims togeth-

ours. 1t won't make any differ
ence to you and will help us out
"The other man said it was all a
gamble anyway, so he chose the
right hand claim in exchange for
his own. That was a year ago. The
two men who are working their
claims together haven't made a
thing, while the other has already
taken over a million dollars out of
his. Queer, isn't it, but that's the

Kentucky Tales.

An old lawyer here tells Of two
amusing things which, he alleges,
occurred in Kentucky many
years ago, says the Louisville
Times. On one occasion a wealthy
man died, leaving a fortune, and
the heirs became so dissatisfied
with his will that they went to
court to break it. One witness
was called who furnished fun for
the crowd. In giving his testi-
mony he stated that the deceased
did not wish to make will be.
cause of a dream he had had. He
was intensely superstitious, and
this vision rather dampened his
enthusiasm with regard to max
ing a will. "And pray" asked
one of the lawyers, "what was
this remarkable dreamyourfriend
had?"
"Well sir" replied the witness,
che dreamed that he made will,
and just as he signed it he saw a
lawyer coming in the room with
a bag to take all his money away"
At another important trial
which kept things lively a witness
was vain conceited woman, who
fancied she could teach the law.

In this twentieth century we shall
expect bands of music in our trains,

entertainments in the style of the
theater or the music hall. We shall
see advertisements of this nature:
"First class company of star Lon

THE G. A, II. GOING FAST.

The adjutant general of the
Grand Army of the Republic re-
ports that during the last year the
death rate among its members has
rapidly increased. AT present taps
are being sounded over the graves
of the old soldiers at the rate of
1000 a month. During the last ten
years the membership of the order
has decreased by more than Il third.
In the department of Illinois
the loss by death has been especial
ly severe. During 1900 more than 3
per cent of the total enrolment at
the beginning of the year answered
the last summons. The flag was
hung at half mast more than once
over every Grand Army post in the
country. Inevitably the death rate
of the order must rapidly increase
with the passage of each year.
Twenty years hence the men who
wear the bronze star and eagle will
be mere handful. The Grand Ar
my will be practically extinct
