II NetD TuperSfition

Speaking Of freaks of superstition
and that sort Of thing" said a profess
sor Of psychology the other day,
there was one which came to my
notice short time ago that beats
anything | have ever seen. Probably
everybody remembers that as child
he had some kind of superstition
about stepping on the cracks in the
sidewalk, but this man with the new
bug is absolutely unhappy if, in his
walking downtown in the morning, he
sees less than ten hairpins on the
sidewalk. He never picks them up
just counts them-and if he finds ten
he is content. If not. then he says
he's uncomfortable the rest Of the day.
SO expert has he become that he
can see hairpin on the sidewalk half
block away. The mental attitude
which makes this sort Of thing posi-
bic gets to be entirely mechanical
after a time, and my friend says he
can think a whole lot better if he
keeps one part of his brain busy hunt
ing hairpins while the other is doing
the work which is worth while AS he
expresses it, the foolish part Of the
brain is kept busy SO that it doesn't
bother the serious part It's just like
giving baby some feathers and lit
tie molasses on his fingers. They
keep him out of mischief"

"Not one laborer out Of a dozen
can work above one hundred feet
from the ground, at least not where
he can look straight down." said a
contractor who is working on a new
skyscraper in New York
For fifteen years | have been in
this business, and | know men must
be born to it. Take the average
young man and try to train him to
work at great heights as a riveter and
you fail He must be unconscious OF
his danger the first time The aver
age workman has too vivid an imagi-
nation to work unconcernedly two or
three hundred feet above hard pave
ments. He thinks always about fall
ing, and the thought is like a rolling
snowball-it grows as it goes on.
Pretty soon he has worked himself
into a sweat, and he has TO descend.
When he reaches the ground his
hands and knees tremble. Such men
are useless.
Il remember we tried a sailor once
at painting job along the upper
stories of a skyscraper He was used
to hanging on to a tarred rope yarn
a hundred feet above a ships deck in

came down in ten minutes.

Society events had a place in the
columns of the Independent. True
they were comparatively few and far
between, but if SO, they were the more
intensely appreciated and enjoyed by
the exiles who attended them. Nc
one can feel farther away from home
than when once buried in Korea, and
among many foreigners the failure oi
the tri-weekly to make its appearance
was a casus belli.
The advertisements in our little
sheet were of interest, suggesting in
material ways the slow opening oi
Korea to foreign influences.
But the paper was an organ and
stood for political and not commercial
gain Here lay what power it exert
ed, and DR.. Jaisohu's editorials played
vital part in holding the Independ-
ence Club together and directing its
policy. 1t was an odd three-cornered
fight waged in Korea in the spring OF
1898 when Russia had the King in
her Legation. Both Russia and

but Russia slyly protracted her
scheme to enslave the land. The In
dependence Club awoke, due, it may
we'll be believed, to DR.. Jaisohu's edi-
torials, and gradually encouraged and
awakened public conscience, until the
Emperor found the courage to ask the
Russian Minister to terminate the Of
fensive Russo-Korean agreement
whereby Russia had virtually gained
control Of the reins Of the Korean
government.
1t meant the end of DR.. Jaisohu's
usefulness in Korea and the end ot
the independently Of which proved
the power both had been. Dr. Jai-
sohu's contract with the Korean gov

paid in full for FIVE years on agreeing
to return to America. This was ar
effective method of suppressing the
paper, and Russian influence was al
the bottom of it.

Uhere the Reporters Come From

The average person believes there
could be nothing more typically
American than the New York news
paper men on Park Row. AS a class
they are, but individually they form
strong contrasts to their profession.
On one big daily paper there is an
Icelander, who, until he was twenty
years old, fshed for mackerel to earn
his bread A strange accident turned
the course Of his life into a new di-
rection which ultimately made him a
Park Row reporter.
1t was during the Franco Prussian
War. A German gunboat picked him
up one day and forced him into the
German Navy. The gunboat was
captured by French cruiser, and he
was taken to France as a prisoner. In
Paris he met British newspaper cor
respondent who interested himself in
his case and got him released. From
his friend he learned English, and
proved so apt a pupil that his protec-
tor paid the cost of two years tuition
in London school.
Finally he became compositor or
an English paper, then a cub repor
ter" and later came TO New York
where naturally drifted into news
paper work.
On another paper there is an as
sistant city editor who, when DO,
of ten in Samakov, Bulgaria, saw t
