SEOUL.

Seoul. the capital of Cho-msen.
is built. amid, net work of hills
eighteen miles from the sea. 1t is an
ancient walled city. fortified in the
strongest way by smells that would
drive any but an Asiatic army forth
with into the ocean. 1t is poor in ap-
pearapce, but rich in heas.
On autumn nights tigers frequently
contest the right of wav with belated
pedestrians, and this is the chief rea-
son why one has the entire street to
oneself in moonlight stroll after
O'Clock.
Metaphoricallv. one can scarcely see
bullet headed Buddhist prits' who
fatten on the superstition of the popu-
lace and lead licentious lives in tile
adjacent monasteries. Barring an oc-
casional court function marked by
street PROFESSIONS, Seoul is triumph.
antly devoid of sights interesting to a
traveller.
The streets lack entirely those pict-
uresque characteristics of Chinese or
Japanese thoroughfare. and vista
across the Korean housetops is one of
appalling monotony. One seeks i'll
vain for attractive souvenirs. In the
small shops of Seoul Japanese beer,
matches, cigarettes and cheap orockery
form the chief stock in trade, while
long -stemmed Korean pipes and metal
banded Korean knives are offered in
the more pretentious shops.
Here, likewise, can be had the
really nice Korean fans; made of silk
or paper finished in oil and covered
with curious native designs. These
fans are dipped in water before they
are used and the little breeze produc-
ed by them is astonishingly cool.
The wall surrounding Seoul, from
which kites are ever flying, is but
pocket edition of the great Chinese
wall that leads down to the sea at
Shanhaikwan.
Piercing this Korean copy are the
city gates picturesque passageways
which are promptly and ilrevocably
closed with the setting of the sun.
The West Gate will be entered by
the tourist on reaching the capital
from Chemuipo. and should he come

The election of Roosevelt ought to

Of distant lands acquired by just war
or fair purchase. Europe will now
know that the manifest destiny of the
United States will not be interrupted
by ourselves; and that the action of
this Government in the Philippines and

The election should, under all the
circumstances, set the money issue at
rest In American politics. The Demo-

of their approval upon a conservative
money system. On the other hand the
Republicans, in electing Roosevelt

his friends, has always been identified
with athletic sports here and has been
one of the active and leading members
of the Myrtle Boat Club since becoming
member in 1880 In 1901 he rowed in

of the races in the few years following.
In 1900 1000 he was elected Captain but
was obliged to resign from pressure of
business affairs but in 1923 he was
again prevailed upon to become Captain
in which position he continued as long
as he could spare the time, when on his
again resigning he was elected presi-
dent of the Club, the highest honor
in the power of its members to bestow
and a fitting testimonial of the esteem
in which he was held.
His first appearance IN the political
arena was in IooI when he was per-
suaded to accept the nomination of
