The Indian and the SpectacIes.

The HoltoH Recorder tells an anus
ing story of an Indian from the Pot
tawatomie reservation who visited an
oculist in Holton to get a pair of
glasses. The oculist seated him and
went through the usual tests with
printed cards, eliciting from his GUS
toner but little comment as he tried
on the different lenses. At last, when
the oculist was almost in despair. the
Indian pulled couple of dice from his
pocket, threw them on the floor,
snapped his fingers as he grunted:
Come seven!" and then smiled all
over his fat face when he found he
could distinguish the spots readily.
And the lesson seems to be that even
the unphilosophic red man has
grasped the immortal truth that the
price of success is painstaking to the
matter of equipment.-Kansas City

CURIOUS coREAN CUSTOM.
The bloody Battle of stones which
Marks the Beginning of the New
fenr in That Country.

One of the most curious customs
in Corea marks the advent of the
new year. This is the battle with
stones, participated in by the inhab-
itants of Seoul. At a spot about a
mile and a half outside the city
walls, on the main road to the Han
river. the people assemble by thou
sands, either as witnesses of or par
Elephants in this truly remarkable
exhibition of warlike good will. BY
previous arrangement piles of stones
are in readiness. all carefully select
ed and Of convenient size, says a
London pafer.
Without previous selection of com
batants the participants form them
selves into opposing armies, about
the only qualification for service be-
ing apparently the ability to hurl a
stone at the advancing forces of the
enemy. At first the stone throwing
is at long range and uninteresting
hut as the throwing continues the
forces draw nearer and the fight
wakes fast and furious, men being
detailed to collect the stones into
heaps again or fetch fresh ammuni-
ton for the firing line. Then the
fierce rushes are made, stones are
discarded and knives and clubs are
freely used. The clash of weapons.
the screams of the combatants, the
surging mass of men, some being
trampled to death, now falling, now
flowing from numerous cuts-the
whole goes to make a picture that
depicts anything but the joy we at
tribute TO the coming Of a new year.
The fight is kept mp until the clang
of the great city bell tells the com
batants that it is time to return
home.
Perhaps the most singular feature
of the celebration is that during the
remaining II months of the year the
Corean is as amiable person as
can be found in any country, and by
some writer's the average Cofean is
characterized as the most abject
coward on the face of the earth.
But, towards or no cowQrds, the
Coroan people still indulge, rs they
have for years, in this annual war
like welcome Of The new year In
deed, it is legal in Corea to fight not
only on New Years day, but during
the first moon or month Of the year.
The custom has become a national
institution, sanctioned by the gov
eminent and patrouizcd by the king
and the nobility. The police attend
tie battles. but merely to keep order
among the spectators. Fighting is
the Corean's privilege with the adj
vent Of each new year, and he is ex-
pccted to exercise that privilege to
the extent of his ability if he would
be accounted a good, country-Ioving

Judge Pennypacker's Self-Revelation.
The Philadelphia North American
Judge

says:
Ex-Judge Pennypacker has made 1t
impossible for anyone to entertain
longer the opinion OF his character and
motives which was held by all while
he was on the bench. To his approval
of public crimes which the criminals
themselves have not the hardihood to
defend he adds denial Of the existence
of a system of election corruption and
fraud so notorious that Quay himself
is forced to pretend to deplore 1t and
promise reform.
Ex-Judge Pennypacker declares that
for thirteen years he has presided with
other judges over the counting OF votes
and seen no evidences of padded lists
or stuffed ballot boxes. What he has
seen and knows to be the fact is that
judges have refused to permit the evi-
dences of fraud to be presented to them.
Moreover, he himself has refused to as
sist in preventing fraud by sitting on
election days to give legal protection
to the ballot box.
In short, eX-Judge Pennypacker' 8
reputation for honesty and intelligence
is being torn to shreds by himself. Ii
cannot survive such onslaughts as his
franchise and ballot-fraud speeches.
His unftness for the place to which
QUAY seeks to elevate him is made
more conspicuous every time he speaks
and the conviction is growing in the
minds of good citizens that his retire
ment from the bench is matter for con-
graduation rather than regret.
