KOREA PATHWAY CHAMPIONS
Career of Peninsular Country ChAck- cred one-Brought to Notice of
 Americans in 1871.

Nothing encourages the study of Ae- pgraphy like war, writes Homer B. HuAl- bert in "Korea, the Bone of ConteIh- tion,' in Century. It was in 1871 that Americans began to look up Korea ol oln the map, for at that time we were war with her; but there was only ond battle, and in that battle only one manS was killed-on our side. Sothe geogra- phies were soon put back on the shelf. Tn 1894 Korea again came to the front. but the Chinese fled so precipitately be- fore the Japanese that before the geogra- phies were fairly open the tide of war swept across the Yalu and left Korea again the Land of the Morning Calm. ". And now again in this year of grace she Is to be made, though much against her will, the chessboard for another game. Tn 1928 she was swept from north to south by the Mongols in their efforts to get at the Japanese. Tn 1892 she was swept from south to north by the Jap-s anese in their effort to get at the Chi- nese. She has been verify the pathway of nations, trodden of every foot.

lection Tor F'erre, one or the leauers or the French Commune, executed near Paris in 1871. She seems to have been altogether absorbed in altruism. When Ia French statesman asked her what she would do If the epresident of France were offered her, she replied thus: T would accept if for A hours. Then I would open the banks and the prisons, and the world would be rejuvenated immediate ly."
 MT. W. T. Stead speaks of Louise Michel as one of the most pathetic and tragic figures of our time, and it must seem to those that know the story of her E life that MT. Stead also speaks well when he refers to this tireless laborer for the lowly as the supreme type of the pas Ii sion for compassion"

AN OLD HAT REVIVED.
Style That Was the Vogue in 1s3N Has Come Once More In-
 to Favor.

There is a revival of the 1880 hat, iA shape at least, though in trimmings the hat industry has progressed to such an extent that the trimmings of the 1880 hats would not be tolerated now. But the 1880 shapes are identical with those of 1904. Take, for example, says the Brooklyn Eagle, the round, or garden, hat. This is the hat with a round crown and a brim all the way around It is b little wider in the front than In the back. and its tendency is to droop front and back.
 The 1880 hat is bent down in the back and Is spiked to the coiffure. The sideA upturn slightly and are abundantlyg trimmed with small flowers, while thqi front droops decidedly and is trimmedA with lace and maline.
 The 1880 hat is worn fiat upon the head. It is bent down at the back and again in the middle of the front, and it's trimming is invariably in the shape of small flowers arranged in an 1880 wreath around the hat, with often no other trin1- ming, except, perhaps. chou of ribs bon
 The lattice hats are very pretty. Theg are made of straw and ribbon and lace and they are lined with distinct color. This gives very Frenchy look. quite new.
 Straw hats are numerous this year, perhaps more so than in previous years. for the straws come in greater variety and in greater number of shades and in finer weaves The light weight oTi- { ental straws are lovely and the very( delicate imported effects are as charm- ing as one could desire. There are straws that look like satin, and there are straws as thin as web.

CHAPTER VI.
DARREL's FLIGHT.


 Old Alb Gryce, under foreman at the War Eagle mine, pulled in his half broken bronco team at the rear of the Half Way house and rolled off the veat of his mountain wagon.
 When ye take 'em off the pole, Jimmie" said he to the hostler, don't fool none with the harness Them bronks kin kick more an faster than ary other critters in these parts"

 Gryce was interrupted by one of the cattlemen grouped h front of the ho- tel, waiting for the Chinese cook to sound the dinner gong The under foreman was we'll known and, in spite of his many infirmities, universally liked. By way of greeting, the cattle man pleasantly drew a. revolver and cut the air with a bullet not half a dozen feet from the old mans ear
 With dipping hiss the missile famed away into the void directly over the rear of the mountain wagon, so close to pile of cases roped to the wagon box that Gryce gave vent to a terrified yell

ROUTED INSURANCE MAN.
Ingenuity of Tired Fellow Gave the Professional Talker Hur-
 ried Send-od.

Blivins has learned by many years of experience that one of the sure signs of spring Is the activity of the life insur- Rnce agents, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. This genial North sider has for a good many years been paying pre- miums on several thousand dollars more insurance that he feels like he is able to do, and for that reason he considers the spring insurance solicitor as one of the worst ills of the season.
 Ingenuity has always been the one marked characteristic of Blivins, and after the first one of the agents tackled him the other day and began telling him how soon he was to die and in what an awful state he would leave his family and creditors, Blivins hit upon new scheme.
 The next morning Blivins took to his office all the old photographs he could ind. On each one he tied little crepe rosette and then hung them on the wall, stood them on his desk and put them at every point in the office where they could be seen.
 Blivins had not been in his office for an hour when an insurance agent came in and began reading Blivins' obituary. The latter heightened his face out an inch or two and drew out his handker- chief and mopped his eyes.
 T fully realize the value of insurance" !" said Blivins, as blue as indigo, land I wish could get a million dollars on my life, but"
 You are the man like to talk to, '' said the agent enthusiastically Our company will write 8 million dollars on your life and--''
 Isn't that too bad?" said Blivins. 'I am sorry, but can't get policy for a cent See that dear face?" he said point to one old picture. That's dear Uncle Ephraim. Consumption did 1t. And there is dear Cousin Seth. Consumption. And there is grandfather. Consumption. And there is-A''
 The life insurance agent had turned purple. He arose, bowed. and told Bli- wins there was no hope. As the agent went through the doorway Blivins leaned back in his chair, laughed, and arose and picked up 2o0-pound letter press and swung 1t under the table.

IE CHARM OF WOMAN.
When She Is Animated and Bright Is the Time It Is Most
 Apparent.

When Is woman most charming? That is a question that takes good deal of answering. It is question am try ing to answer from one years end to an- other, writes a correspondent, and on which I would put in the following words for the American Queen readers: A woman is most charming when she Is tender and sympathetic. She may dazzle when she is merry, but when she is gen. tie and full of sympathy she enhances a mans heart. When her voice takes softened tone and her eyes look words that her lips hesitate to speak, then, if she only knew her power it would be a bad time for the world at large, for she could do what she chose. only she never does know it. Probably woman charms most when she Is unconscious of it. The very inconsistencies is part of the charm.
 A woman is most charming when she is animated and bright. A tear may prove pity, but it is smile that com mands admiration. But she must not be forever sparkling She must have her sober moments. if only to throw into high relief the moments when she is gay
 A woman is most charming when she Is good natured. Bad temper never charmed. Good temper is an attraction even in plain woman. When woman has that in addition to her qualities, when she Is natural in her manners, unconscious, animated, tender, and gen. tle, then indeed is she charming to all the world.
 Sometimes a woman possesses quality known as fascination, which no one has ever yet been able to defne--a quality outside of and beyond all these attractions, and independent of them to the ordinary eye But even without this fascination, very good substitute may be formed from the qualities just count ed up, and many woman can cultivate these graces and make herself charming in the eyes of all who know her.

 If the bronks are all you say. Uncle Ab,' said Jimmie, they're altogether too frisky for a load like that"
 I'm less afeared O the team than am of some playful fool like Ben, thar. Mind what I say about the crit ters, Jimmie;" and Gryce reached the front of the tavern just as the gong sounded. "Howdy, boys?" he asked, taking in his friends with compre- hensive look. Flows things at Sandy Bar, Cliff?"
 Couldn't be worse" answered Cliff, gloomily. "Jack Sturgis got his ticket across the divide last night"
 Buy it himself?"
 "Not muchl A gambler from Frisco handed it out; a 45, and poor old Jack never knew what struck him."
 Grycs swore softly. Took care O the gambler. didn't yer" he asked, sig niflcantly.
 Intended to, much as could be-" an- swered Cliff, ''but while we were talk ing care of the marshal so he couldn' t interfere and making our plans the gambler got away"
 Did he have help7"
 'It's the general verdict that he did 1t himself; pulled up board in the floor and dug down to drift that led out on the creek bank"
 That's plagued rough" muttered Gryce. You'll get i'm, though, won t ye?'
 If we can. Several parties are out combing the hills and I'm expecting some fellows this way before long. Murgatroyd has offered S1,0o0 to the man who brings Darrel in"
 'Darrel! I've heard O him, but he's somethin' of stranger on this part O the range. Come in to the bar, Cliff, an we'll crook elbows to your success in baggin' Darrel. Can't eat, anyhow till put an edge on my appetite. Any the rest O you care ter j'ine us?"
 The invitation was eagerly accepted During the meal that followed Cliff aired tho whole matter connected with the killing of Sturgis in detail
 His recital was punctuated with angry comments on the part of the lis teners. Sturgis was known to be a gambler and a hard citizen. but the

ABOUT ROCK BEER
BREWERY AGENTS ANNOUNCE REGULAR OPENING OF
 SEASON.
Nepresentatives of Large Concerns Say They Will Put the Genuine Article on the Market
 March 26.

We the undersigned beer agents of the city of Montgomery. representing legiti- mate breweries, wish to announce to the trade and the beer drinking public oi this city that on or about March s6, we win s.butt in" with pure. unadulterated beer. This beer has been brewed and fttlly larsered Our book beer will be the pure. unadulterated book. not made by any artificial coloring. The best brew masters of this and other countries Will bear us out in the statement. that it Is almost impossible to have put out at this early date a pure and genuine book beer. The well informed man knows that book beer, the genuine article. not mixture of any sort of beer with deleterious coll bring matter. Is not put on the market until on or about Easter.
 It stands to reason that the brewertes we represent with their facilities and ca pacity would have placed upon the mar ket genuine book beer at an early date as any other concern.
 I've feel that there could not be any greater fraud or insult to the art and science of brewing than to offer to the public a book beer made with artificial coioring
 We feel it our duty to the trade and to the beer drinking public of the city. in Justice to ourselves and the concerns we represent to name the date on which they can obtain genuine, pure and unadui- terated book beer.
