G. G.. Goodrich, vice president Of
the street railway company, is consid-
cred fairly imperturbab but last Sat-
urday, while at Lake Minnetonka, he
was actually put out. Incidentally it is
said that Mr., Goodrich has adapted
q verse from Scripture to read: First
put out the fire in thine own fur over
coat, that thou mayest more effectu-
ally extinguish the fire in thy broth
er's coat
Saturday Mr.. Goodrich, with a
friend, an architect. and driver, were
hurrying to the station from Zumbra
Heights, where Mr.. Goodrich bought
summer home. They passed a burn
ing farmhouse on the road, but it was
too, near leaving time Of the last train
to. take hand as volunteer f1remen.
The occupants of the farm wagon
thought it was an outrageous odor
| that an ordinary burning farmhouse
gave out. 4 Their time was so much
| occupied looking toward the blaze that
the first warning came from bystand-
ers on the road, who yelled, "Hey
| there, you're on f1re!'
The ever self-fOrgetful Mr.. Good
rich took in the situation at a glance
seized the driver by the shoulders and
| beat the fire. out ofIthe drivers blazing
overcoat with his hands. The delecta-
BILE odor continued with even more
purgency, when, all Of a sudden, Mr.
Goodrich was grabbed by his friends
and received the hardest drubbing he
had had since he last felt the parenta
| slipper. He was on fire.
Just before the station was reached
the third member Of the party said
! Gee, how glad I am didn't wear g
fur coat."t,, AS he rose to get out of the
wagon the whole back fell off hi.

Health Value of Lauahter.

1t is good to laugh. There is proba-

inlet of the minute blood vessels OF the
body that does not feel some wavelet
from the great convulsion produced by
hearty laughter shaking the central
man. The blood moves rapidly-pro-
badly it's chemical, electric or vital
condition is distinctly modified, it con-
veys a different impression Of all the
organs Of the body as it visits them on
that peculiar mystic journey when the
man is launched from what it does at
other time. The time may come when
physicians will prescribe to torpid
patient so many peals of laughter to
be undergone at each and such time.

Toxic, Aug. 27.-Uondon Times.)-
It is unofIicially stated here that the
Korean government has agreed to en-
gage Japanese nominees for advisers
of the departments of finance and for
eign affairs, and has also undertaken
to follow their advice in every re-
spect Korea has Japanese advisers at
court and in its military departments.
In addition, an extensive program Of
reforms is to be inaugurated.
In order to enable the government
to carry out its intentions, Japan will
lend Korea 100000 yen ($3,000,000
as first installment, in order to place
the finances of the country on sound
footing and to correct the abuses Gre
ated by the nickel currency.
The Korean military establishment,
comprising 10000 troops, will be re-
duced to 1000, whose sole duty will be
in garrison. In due time Seoul will
withdraw its diplomatic and consular
representatives abroad, trusting the
care of her interests to Japanese Off
