The Sunray was purchased by the
Japanese government from the Eng

Great was the excitement when tho
huge ship steamed into the harbor.
The whole population of the city turn

colossus, and the admiralty solemn

aboard to learn how to make the
wheels go round" The commander

Of instruction, which came to a speedy
end, the Japanese admiral declaring
that he understood everything and now
wished to be left in command. The
British commander doubted the Jap's
proficiency after such brief practice,
but the little admiral was SO insistent
that the Englishman gave way with
good grace and left the little mar in
charge of the ship.
The admiral was on the bridge In a
twinkling, giving his orders d though
to the manner born. The Sunray be-
gan to move through the harbor to-
ward the massive sea wall of the quay.
Suddenly the humiliating fact be-
came apparent that neither admiral
nor crew had the faintest notion how
to bring the ship to a standstill. The
watching crowd on the quay stood
transfixed, awaiting the imminent dis
aster, but the plucky little admiral
with the utmost sangfroid gave orders
that the cruiser should be steered
round and round. like Il kitten in pur-
Suit of it's tail. This e was
kept up till the fires had been extin-

gradually slowed down and was final

cries of approval from the spectators
on the shore.

QUERIES o r

b American Minister at Seoul IL
Flooded With Them.
Korea, which was the Hermit King
dom of yesterday, is today one Of the
best advertised countries on the globe,
says the New York Tribune. Korea
was the chief cause of the present war
between Russia and Japan, and as
such she Is Of interest to all civilized
nations. All the queer customs and
quaint usages of the little realm where
men skirts and women high hats
are being ruthlessly dragged out Of
their obscurity and disported before
the eyes of the world. s.A
Evidence of Americas interest in
faraway Korea is to be seen in the
food of letters which. are, pouring In
on Horace. N. Allen. the American mia
lister at Seoul, the Korean capital. The
communications contain all kinds Of
questions. One man wants! tosknow If
he can get a concession to start a gold
mine and just where he hnd betterfdig
first. Another Of less commercial trend
Of mind desires information concern
ing wild flowers. SIG
Among others who are deluging MI.
Allen with inquiries is a small boy.
While Russia and Japan are rushing
troops over the Korean mountains the
small boy has taken the opportunity to
sktrmish for postage stamps. In an
swer to numerous letters which he has
received requesting loose Korean post
age stamps Mr.. Allen has replied in
the following circular communication:
Korean stamps may be had from dealers
In the United States and elsewhere. There
Is no wastebasket at this office overflow
ing with Cancelled stamps, nor is there
any little boy at hand waiting to cut of
these stamps for a large number Of appli-
cantS. .
In answer to those who want conces-
sions from the Korean government Mr..
Allen says that applications are need
less. Korea is granting no more CON
cessions these days. He also breaks
the cruel news to the women desiring
positions at court there that there is
mo demand in the Korean palace for
foreign women as nurses. maids, gov
ernesses, teachers, physicians and com
panions.'

According to a dispatch from Wash

Montana. For years he was a judge
of the district court in the northern
part of the state and later served a
term as a member of the supreme
court. The news of the appointment
to come at an early date to Judge Hunt
is no news to a few OF his intimate
friends in this part of the state. Ad-
vices were received by this news

would return to the state to occupy
the position of federal judge, and now
that the deserved appointment is about
