I'd in bell shape quite aaring, with

This sort of elbow sleeve will be a

KILLED A aEGlcIDE.
Two Koreans Murder One of the As.
sassins of the Late Queen.

One of the murderers of the Queen
of Korea, who fed the country and
has been living in Japan, has fallen
victim to her avengers. Two mel.
were sent to kill him. and they have
fulfilled their mission
The matter has been kept quiet
because Japan cannot surrender the
murderers or condemn and execute
them without giving grave offense to
enc of the political parties in Korea.
The facts. however. were published
IN that country recently.
After Japan's triumph over China,
the dominating Influence in Korea was
Japanese. The Kins and Queen soon
found that the liberal laws and many
reforms introduced by Japan had
stripped them of most of their power
The strongminied Queen was beside
herself with rage. and. rightly Or
wrongly, she was accused of plotting
TO assissinate the new Cabinet in
stalled under Japanese influence.
Native friends of the Japanese de-
cided to Kill her and one night
party of armed men burst into the
palace and stabbed her TO death. None
of them was caught ami all got safely

them was a man named U-Pom-sun.
who ied TO Japan.
Most Koreans were tired of the
Japanese regime. whose reforms were
little 100 rapid for their conserva-
tism. They were Mortified also at
the murder CT the Queen. and when it
became certain that U-Pom-sun was
refugee to japan. there were loud
demands that he be sent home for
punishment; but Japan refused TO sur.
render him. asserting hat his crime
was political and that he was not ex-
traditabie,

whom they sent to Japan to kill tie
regicide could not find him.
Re was living in retirement and
under an alias. 1t was not till October
last that his out of the way place Of
concealment was discovered and the
( man recognized.
One day two men came to the ham
let where U-Pom-sun made his home.
They did not deny that they were
Koreans They were travelling
through Japan studying the country
and having good time.
Their intended victim had no sus
picion as to their real character. He
had never seen them before. They
drank and played cards with him and
the three became quite friendly
strangely enough. they lived in the
same house with him for three or
four days and he was not at all dis
turbed by their presence.
On tho evening OF Oct. % the three
men were drinking together, when
one OF them pretended to take offense
Oft some remark made by U-Pom-suh
and suddenly whipped out knife and
stabbed him. At nearly the same in
slant the other man struck the vic
tim on the head with piece of iron
fracturing his skull.
His death was almost instantaneous
The name of the man who stabbed
him was Ko Yung-geun; the other as
sailant was No Wun-myung.
The men were at once arrested as
common murderars. Each of them
drew from his pocket paper declar
ing that they had heen deputizsd to
go to Japan to avcnge the death of
the late Queen.
At last accounts the murderers were
still in Jail. 1t is not believed in 70

THE GAIN.


Little by little we gain
In clearing the wrongs away;
Little by little we push along,
Though gold is mighty and greed Is
strong
But, God, what a price to pay!
Little hv little we cleave
The mountains of selfishness;
Little by little we push ahead,
But, o the innocent lying dead
And the past that is pitiless!
Little by little the ones
To whom we are calling heed:
Little by little the madness dies,
The madness that looks out of selfish
eyes;
The merciless plague OF greed.
Little by little we gain
But scattered along the way.
The awful way through which we
have come,
Are the heaps of innocents, still and
dumb
O God. what price TO pay.

A SHANK OF BEEF.

An average sized shank of beef
costs about rs or 80 cents, and con-
tains, besides bone, about two or two
and half quarts of solid meat, meas
ured after it is cooked. The house
keeper who desires to be truly eco
nomical can purchase shank of this
kind and will find that no IS cents
ever went further. Put the shank in
soup digester or kettle, in water
enough to cover it, after trimming Oh
al fat carefully, and let it slowly
simmer all day. Toward night take
it off the fire, and let the meat and
bone stand in the stock, closely COW
cred. over night. In the morning
skim off the fat which has risen to
the top, and set it aside. to be tried
out for frying Or for shortening In
ginger snaps and other cheap cook
les. Lift out the meat and bone and
pour the stock into an earthen cibck.
There will be at least two or three
quarts, according to how hard it has
boiled This stock, in the average
family, would make soup for two
meals.
The meat can be used in variety
OF ways, for the genuine nutriment
is still in the fibre. though the stimu.
lating qualities have been drawn into
the stock If the housekeeper wishes
she can save one part for pressed
beef, one part for beef croquettes, or
for beef pie, and third for de-
licious little beef stew. Thus, for
an ordinary family, the housewife can
get three or four services of meat
and two services of soup for rs cents.
She also gets pint or more of fat
for frying and other purposes. A
shank of beef is in every way the
proper thing for a housewife with a
slim purse-New York Tribune.

HISTORY OF THE ANCHOR.
Various Improvements That Have
Been Made in Its Shape.

The ships anchors in general use
up to the beginning of the last cen
fury consisted of long, round iron
shank, having two comparatively
short straight arms or fukcs. inciin
ed to the shank at an angle of about
40 degrees, and meeting it in some
what sharp point at the crown. In
large anchors the bulky wooden stock
was built up of several pieces, hoped
together, the whole tapering outward
TO the ends, especially on the aft OF
cable side. About the beginning OF
the last century a clerk in the Ply
mouth naval yard. Fering, by name.
suggested certain improvements, the
most important of which was making
the arms curved instead of straight.
At first sight this simple change may
seem of little value. but consideration

In the year 1921 chain anchors be.
gan to supersede the hempen ones.
with the result that the long-shaped
anchors hitherto in vogue were no
longer necessary, and anchors with
shorter shanks and with heavier and
stronger crowns gradually came into
use. In consequence of these changes
a commission was appointed In the
year 1883 to inquire into the holding
power Of anchors, and principal re-
suit Of its labors was the adoption Of
the so-called admiralty pattern anchor,
which continued to be in use in the
navy up to the year 1860. The inven.
ton of the steam hammer, in 1872,
made the Welding of heavy masses
of iron a compa ratively easy and re-
liable process, SO that from this time
onward the strength of anchors fully
kept pace with that of the chain
cables, which had come into general
use.
A number of patents for anchors
were taken out prior to the great ex
hibitlon of 1851, and, public alter
lion having been called to the models
there shown. in the following year
committee was appointed by the adj
miralty to report on the qualifications
of anchors of :he various kinds. Prac
teal trials were then instituted, and
as a result, Trotman's anchor be
ing second on the list. Some of the
tests 20 which the anchors were sub
