get better and cheaper shoes from

Chloe was talking quite heroic

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

ly see the town for the bald, Dubious
and bullet-headed Buddhist priests who
fatten on the superstition OF the pop
ulace and lead licentious lives In the
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 picturesque characteristics of a
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

crockery form the chief stock In trade,

THADDY'S SONG.

Once on day they slipped away
Il had so much to Carry
Visions of shades within the glades
Where dwell the elf and fairy.
My ways ran down into the town
Where all men strive for money;
And l forgot the briery spot
Where wild bee sucks the honey.
Then on day in leafy May
Came to my house a daddy;
And as he grew l found he knew
What had escaped his daddy.
He takes me by the solemn, shy,
Sweet silent woodland places;
We hear the beat of elfn feet
We almost see their facesl
Hol but it's fine so to resign
The dull towns toll and worry:
And through his eyes grow young an
wise
Where no ones in a hurry.

Some Tests for Oven Heat.

To Judge Of an ovens heat, try the
oven every ten minutes with piece of
white paper. If too hot the paper will
blaze up or blacken; when the paper
becomes dark brown-rather darker
than ordinary meat-pie crust-the oven
is ut for small pastry. When light
brown, the color of nice pastry, it is
ready for tarts. When the paper turns
dark yellow youscan bake bread, large
meat pies or pound cakes; while, if it
is just tinged, the oven is fit for sponge
cake and meringues.
