such changes. In our own country
there are some notable instances.

LINCOLN REBELLED.
An Occasion When Stanton Did Not
Get His Papers Signed.

An Occasion When Stantoh Dlo Nos
Get His Papers Signed.
Robert Lincoln when minister to-
England told friend an incident OF
his childhood which was deeply i'm
pressed upon his memory, so illustra-
tive was 1t Of his fathers character.
He was with his father in his cabi-
net one morning during the early years
Of the war when. Secretary Stanton
was announced. Scarcely replying to
the courteous greeting of the president,
Mr.. Stanton walked directly up to the
desk where Mr.. Lincoln was sitting
and said, Mr.. President, have come
for the papers that brought you yes
terday to be signed"
WELL" said the president, with an
expression in his face something like
that Of a convicted schoolboy, the
truth is, Stanton, they are not ready"
WELL then, those you had the day
before"
They are not ready either" was the
answer with a somewhat quizzical look.
But you have had some Of them for
whole week, and all ask you to do
is to put your name to them. Come, do
It nowi The whole batch will not take
half an hour. I will wait while you
sign. 1t Is only trifle I am asking,
and 1t Is not like you to hinder our
work in this way"
"A trif1e!" echoed Mr.. Lincoln, with
deep gravity settling over his care
worn countenance. do you know
what these papers are?"
"Of course I do answered the Sc
cretary. They are death warrants"
And you call signing death war
rant a trife? Look here!" And he
drew out from under his desk basket
overfowing with papers. Here are
the papers you have brought me dur
ing the last week and that you have
been urging me to sign, and every one
of them will condemn man to death
If put my name to 1t. How can I
sign when I know so well what will be
the result?"
You must sign, Mr.. President; you
must sign them. YOU are clogging the
wheels Of government. We have been
at standstill for a week because you
have picked out every death warrant
from the papers I have brought you.
No wonder they have accumulated.
But now we cannot wait any longer.
We must have those papers, and you
must sign them" And, selling pen
from the rack, he dropped 1t in the Ink.
Back and forth, up and down the
room, strode the tall form, as was his
wont when in perplexity. Suddenly his
face cleared, and he approached the
hearth, where there was a glowing coal
Of fire. Taking up the poker, he stirred
up a bright blaze. Then, almost run
ming across the room, he picked up the
basket Of death warrants and tossed
them all on the Goals. A tongue Of fire
seized them, and puff Of wind blew
them up the chimney.
There, there; good riddance!" he
muttered as he saw the ashes disap-
pear. Then he turned to Mr.. Stanton,
who stood aghast and speechless for
once, and with deprecating look said:
II couldn't help 1t, Stanton; really
couldn't, and I couldn't sign them. 1t
is too beautiful e. day to send so many
souls into eternity. don't believe the
| wheels of government will be blocked.
Come, now, let US take walk down
the avenue."-Youth's Companion.

sEoUL-sTRIFE CENTRE.
Strange Oriental City Scene Of Far
Eastern Controversy.

Seoul, the capital of Chosen, is built
amid a network 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 forthwith into the ocean,
1t is poor in appearance, but rich In
fieas.
On autumn nights tigers frequently
contest the right Of way with belated
pedestrians, and this Is the chief rea-
son why one has the entire street to
oneself in a moonlight stroll after
o'clock.
Metaphorically, one can scarcely see
the town for the bald, Dubious and bull
let-headed Buddhist priests, who fatten
on the superstition Of the populace and
lead licentious lives In the adjacent
monasteries. Barring an occasional
court function, marked by street pro-
cessions, Seoul Is triumphantly devoid
of sights interesting to traveller.
The streets lack entirely those pic
.uresque characteristics Of Chinese
or Japanese thoroughfare, and vista
across the Korean housetops is one of
appalling monotony. One seeks in vain
for attractive souvenirs. In the small
shops of Seoul Japanese beer, matches
cigarettes and cheap crockery form the
chief stock in trade, while long-stem-
med Korean pipes and metal banded
Korean knives are offered in the more
pretentious shops.
Here, likewise, can be had the real
ly unique 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 produced
by them Is astonishingly cool.

which kites are ever flying, Is but a

FIRST STEAM BATTLESHIP.
L Was intended to Shoot Red Hot
Balls, and Squirt Hot Water.

Balls, and Squirt Hot Water.
Even in a day of war and rumors Of
wars with articles upon the relative
strength Of navies as common as stock
quotations or weather reports, it Is
seldom recalled that the first steam
battleship the world ever saw was
built by an American for America.
The story of the Demologos is an all
but forgotten incident in naval an
nails, vet she was the wonder Of her
day and her career, before her myster-
fous and tragic passing, quite pic
turesque enough to warrant the retell-
ing.
Planned by Robert Fulton, built by
order Of James Madison, the Demo-
logos appears in history in 1914. Those
were days when the good folk Of the
towns along the Atlantic seaboard
walked in fear of attack from English
ships and slept gallantly and we'll at
sea, but the coast lay unprotected.
President Madison and his advisers at
Washington were quite as much con-
cerned over this as the fishermen Of
Maine or Delaware-and then came
Fulton with his proposal Of float
ing battery"
The strange little craft Of his sug-
gestion corresponds most nearly per-
haps to what we Of today might call
an unprotected gunboat for coast and
harbor service, but she had freak"
features. In addition to the boilers
that were to supply steam for the first
time to fighting ship she was to be
fitted with furnaces in which her shot
