THE CINDERELLA OF KOREA
Eastern Legend More Ancient Than
That Of the West.

In Korea the people tell Cinderella
'lory that is much more ancient than
nat familiar to western people. The
iey To the latter story is the Sinner
)ut not so theirs. Peach Blossom, the
Korean Cinderella's name, was the
amlly drudge. One day as the mother
Mas starting off with the favorite
laughter to picnic she said to Peach
5lossom You must not leave IN
ii you have hulled a bagful OF rice
md filled the broken crock with
"ater.' While sitting there bemoan-
ng her hard lot she heard a wittering
md i1uttering of wings. Looking up.
she saw flock of sparrows pecking
The hullS off the rice. Before recoy-
erlng from her surprise little inn
Jumped out OF the fireplace and so
skliliully repaired the crock that but
lew minutes of work was required
to MI 1t with water. Then she went
to the picnic and had a royal time.
On another occasion the mother
SAID: You must stay until you have
pulled up all the weeds in the field.
This time COW came out of the forest
and ate up the weeds in ten mouth
fnls. Peach Blossom followed the COW
into the woods and was led to where
there was an abundance of ripe, lus-
clous fruit. Gathering a large guam
tity, she went to the fete and was the
most welcome guest. Her sister asked
about it and on being told determined
she would get some of this fruit for
herself
When the next gala day came the
sister stayed at home and let Peach
Blossom so. The COW came out of
the woods as before and the sister fol-
lowed it through tangled brer and
thorn bushes, with the result that her
face was much scratched and her skin.

THE MOSAIC METHOD.

Moses was city young man and
had method of overcoming evil with
evil
One day he found man killing an
other man. so he killed the killer.
His method was not appreciated by
any one. so he went to live on farm
Tor forty years.
He found a father-in-law who taught
him lot of common sense.
When he had learned to do a few
things right then God called on him
and gave him an order
Moses had a lot of zeal when he
knew everything except how to do it
right.
Now that he knew how to do it
right aud had an order he lost his
zeal.
He wanted his br other to be given
the order. SO God let him have part of
it, But by pushing Moses along God
made him very useful and a practical
leader.
Moses got mad over the follies of
his followers and then made fool Of
himself for minute.
He might have lived longer and
been more useful if he had asked God
in place of getting mad.
Moses got sick of the Mosaic meth
cd. as everybody does in time, and he
learned by expensive experience to
leave all glory and revenge to God.
He might have learned all he did by
observation and saved himself lot
of trouble.

COLOMBIA PRESENTS HER SIDE
OF THE PANAMA CONTROVERSY

Whenever that government has inter
fered to prevent the interruption of
traffic it las been because OF the rights
granted or on Colombia's request only.
Only in this instance has ii interfered
on its own initiative, with the evident
object of protecting the secessionists
on the isthmus.
If the guarantee of neutrality were
to be looked upon as a privilege IL
would prevent the sovereign govern
ment from keeping order ON the isl
and. which is against the principles o1
all governments.
The protocols of 1897 did not grant
any new rights to the United states,
much less the rights of dominating this
territory.
The Hay-Herran canal treaty did
not modify the obligations which the
United States contracted the treaty OF
1876 to guarantee the neutrality, SOY
ercgnty and property of the isthmns.
When this treaty was disapproved no
new preparations We're made.
THE orders given by the United
States government to its navy helped
to favor the secession movement. and

ecutive has been and now is tayorabl"

for the season. The initial strength
was due to continued buying in the
old crop positions, particularly by May
and July shorts, but the shorts were
about the only buyers, and while Liv-
erpool made fair response to the New
York advance of Monday, port receipts
were heavy and the market, after
brief interval of irregularity, turned
decidedly weak under liquidation. Dur
ing the balance of the session prices
displayed an almost uninterrupted
downward tendency, though toward the
close there was an Improvement from
the lowest of points in May and
about points on the list generally
as result of further covering, with
the market finally barely steady at
net decline of points to an advance
of l point. Total sales futures esti-
mated at 100000 bales. A factor in the
declining tendency was the talk of
shipments to be made to this point
for delivery on May contracts, and it
was claimed that the high level at
tanned by values in the local market
permit of the better grades being ship

that about 10000 bales were being held
for shipment to New York for deliv-
cry should the bull clique call for actual
delivery on May holdings, and natural
ly encouraged room shorts to maintain
their position, while it also brought
about renewed sales by commission
houses, who took profits for the long
account, and the bull pool was also
credited with selling May.

lower than that on enlarged offerings

New York, April 7.-Continued buy
ing for short account carried prices
for near months to a new high level
in the early morning. There was a
large amount of cotton for sale at the
advance, believed to be for the pool,
and the market reacted below last
nights close. 1t appears to us as
though the May-July combination are
liuuidating it's holdings whenever IA
vora BILE opportunity offers, and with
the danger of a sharp corner removed,
and the consequent return to normal
conditions, the interest in the general
list will Increase very materially, and
prices would be governed more imme-
diately by the outlook for the next
crop. Pre- parations for next season,
though late, are progressing rapidly

opened with sales of May, 1O.S9@1O.4Oc;
closed 1920, and after selling at 1922
@1O23c, ruled at 1026c at 1 p. m.
From the opening until noon, long
cotton was for sale, both for outside
and so-called bull account. This real
izing finally touched stop orders on
May below 10000, causing quick de-
cline to 10.21c, from which point there
was a sharp recovery. At times the
market has been dull in sharp contrast
with the activity of yesterday. leading
to the belief the anxious short in
terest had covered, leaving the
market without that support. Liver
pool was poor on realizing abroad
which, together with the disturbed
condition. of affairs on the continent,
prevented an adequate response to
the advance here yesterday. Move
ment for the week is estimated at
from 10000 to $4,000 bales, about 30
per cent. more than last year. Cotton
is pointing here from various points
in small lots. The spot market was
dull and unchanged.
