THE CONQUEST or KOREA.
Japanese Legend of Emperor Chuni
and His Valiant Wife.


Seventeen centuries ago the japanese
Emperor Chuai was playing his lutte
in the presence of his wife and prime
minister. Whether on account of the
music or from some other cause, the
empress became inspired with divine
afllatus and began to utter the thoughts
put into her mind by the deity There
Is a land to the westward" she ex-
claimed, land In that land is album
dance of treasure, gold and silver, daz-
zling to look upon. This land will
now bestow upon you"
The emperor pushed away his lutte.
| IF you go up to n high place and look
| toward the west" said be, there Is no
land to be seen. but only the great wa
ters. They are lying spirits who have
spoken to YOU"
Then the good god was filed with
I anger, and again he moved the empress
to prophesy. You are not fit" she
said, "to rule this empire. Go the one
roadr'
But the prime minister trembled
when he heard these words and said to
his master: II am troubled. my heaven
ly sovereign. by this terrible message
Continue, | pray. to play the august
Lutte
The Emperor ChuaI commenced to
play softly. Gradually the sound died
away: all was still. They held light
to his face and saw that he w0s dead.
But the empress put herself Mt the
head of her feet, invaded the land Of
gold and silver with her warriors and
soon made the three Kingdoms of 10
rea tributary to Japan.
These things happened, we are told,
I'm the year POI A. d., and the story Of
the valiant empress is rs familiar to q
japanese as is that of Boadicea to our
selves. Nineteenth Century.
