In Korea.

THE Vanguard" by James S. Gale. is
a book which will interest a good many
people just at this time. because it af-
fords information on a subject but little
known TO the public The hero is a
young American missionary; there IS no
heroine and very little plot, and the
value Of the work lies in the graphic
descriptions Of native life and charac-
ter, and the numerous Illustrations from
photographs.
Among the many queer incidents re-
corded is an anecdote of an cid man
who received from the missionaries a red
lcailet, and three hours after Clamored
that they should take IL back. lie said
