Korean Schools.

In Korean schools the master is
dressed in white, generally wears spec
tacles and always has rod in order
that the child may not be spoiled. He
gathers his flock around him in the
most fatherly manner and deals out
justice with an unsparing hand. The
scholars are dressed in their best, but
must study without their shoes. These
latter are kept in sight of the master
at all times. The course of study is not
very extensive to look at, but when it
comes to studying the Korean language
through the medium Of Chinese it must
be confessed that the beginning of a
course Is difficult. The scholar Is first
taught the name and meaning of Chi
nese characters and then their meaning
in Korean, just as though he were
obliged to learn English through the
medium of the Greek alphabet. Stu
dents keep up a steady droning noise
as each one goes on repeating his per
ton Of the tasks aloud, regardless of
what Is going on round him.

MIXED THE LETTERS.
Serious Result of Fool Man Trying
10 De Facetious.

10 BE Facettous.
A well knowa citizen of Clay Center
had been invited to an evening party.
He wanted to go, but his wife declared
that she had no gown suitable for the
occasion ard asked him to send ire
grots" to their hostess. The man went
down to his Office and penned this face
tious note of destinations:
I'VE regret that your kind invitation
must be declined for all the convention
al reasons, but the real reason Is that
half the family has nothing to wear.
My. wlfe's latest dress Is over three
Ceeks old, and her hat is twelve hours
out OF date You will appreciate the
hopelessness of the occasion and ex-
euse u.s.
He thought this pretty good, and he
determined to write note to his wife
also explaining that he would not be at
home for an early dinner, as she had
asked him. He said in this note:
II have turned down your invitation
because am going out to another even
ing party where the guests are not ex-
pected to- wear anything of Importance
Sorry l won't be there to kiss you good
night"
And then the fool man carelessly sent
his wifes note to the hostess and the
hostess note to his wife.-Clay Center

The man on the stage who does the
trick of escaping from firmly tied ropes,
submits to the bonds with a smile. He
knows he can get out of the ropes that
are being knotted. Put the same man in
the woods and let Indian captors bind
him to a tree for torture and he would
struggle to the last against the bonds.
When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every hour about
the organs dependent on the stomach
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. The
folly of mankind is to passively submit
to the fastening of these bonds with no
effort to escape until the pain they cause
arouses fear.

Ants Magnetic Nests.

boasts of some Of the most remarkable
ants nests in the world. They are
known as magnetic" nests, for the
simple reason that they are without
exception built in due north and
south direction. Consequently trav-

which they abound may readily direct
his course by their aid. No living man
knows why these tiny architects build
them in this way. They are merely one
out Of the many marvels Of the great

tiny creatures to so construct their
dwellings that the fierce MONDAY sun

mother and sister, and about o'clock
in the morning he arose, took a razor,
went to Clegg's room and while the
old man lay sleeping slashed his
throat. He then proceeded to the bed
occupied by his mother and sister and
attacked them. The old lady escaped
after desperate fight, but severely
wounded, and the son failed to kill his
sister owing to the knife being broken.
He finally returned upstairs and, Sc.

Talking Through the Body,

To talk through human body, or
row of human bodies, for the matter Of
that, is one of the weirdest of the cleo
trician's feats. If telephone wire be
severed and the two ends be held by a
person, one in each hand, but far
apart, it is quite possible for two indi-
viduals to carry on conversation
through the body of the medium as
readily and as distinctly as If the line
had been properly connected.

A sInnuInr Rennent.

A peculiar fate is said to overhang
the family Of the late Sir Julian Gold
smid. An ancestor of his, so says the
legend, once gave shelter to a rabbi,
who, at his death, left TO him a bequest
of n mysterious box, which was on no
account to be opened until after the
customary seven days of mourning. If
opened before that time, curse would
fall upon the family.
Curiosity got the better of supersti-
ton. and the box was opened before
the seven days were up. In 1t was
found a document which said that as
the injunction Of the rabbi had not
been needed no future owner of the es-
tate would be succeeded by son. And
such, strangely enough, has been the
case ever since.

LOCAL DEALERS ARE
HAULING ICE TO CITY

Some of the small ice dealers in
the central and west part of the city
and number of firms which put np
the cool for their own use have
grown tired of waiting for the
freezing of the open water near the
shore on this side of the river that
prevents ice cutting operations on
the Mississippi here, and have begun
to haul and ship supply from other
sources.
During the early part of December
there was n fairly good field near the
Crescent bridge, but it was not taken
advantage of by the ice men in the
lower part of the city. Now, as the
winter is slipping away and the pros
poets for severe weather do not inn
prove, the dealers in question are re-
GREETING wasted opportunities.
