A KOREAN CINDERELLA.
The Quaint story of Peach Blossom.
the Family Drudge.

The Quaint story of Peach Blossom,
the Family Drudge.
In Korea the people tell Cinderella
story that is much more ancient than
that familiar to western people. The
key of the latter story is the slipper,
but not SO theirs. Peach Blossom, the
Korean Cinderella's name, was the
family drudge. One day as the moth
er was starting off with the favorite
daughter to picnic she said to Peach
Blossom, You must not leave until
you have hulled bagful of rice and
filled the broken crock with water"
While sitting there bemoaning her hard
lot she heard twittering and a 1ut-
tering of wings. Looking up, she saw
a flock Of sparrows pecking the bulls
off the rice. Before recovering from
her surprise a little imp jumped out
Of the fireplace and so skillfully re-
paired the crock that but few min
utes Of work was required to fill it
with water. Then she went to the pic
mic and had royal time.
On another occasion the mother said,
4uu huSl otdy uhIi you hdNS PuhSu
up all the weeds In the field" This
time a cow came out Of the forest and
ate up the woods In ten mouthfuls.
Peach Blossom followed the cow into
the woods and was led to where there
was an abundance of ripe, luscious
fruit. Gathering large quantity, she
went to the fete and was the most wei.
come guest. Her jealous sister asked
about 1t and, on being told, determined
she would get some Of this fruit fol
herself.
When the next gala day came the
sister stayed at home and let Peacf
Blossom go. The COW came out of the
woods as before, and the sister follow
ed 1t through tangled brier and thorl
bushes, with the result that her face
was much scratched and her skin deeI

Woman Suffrage In Colorado.


Mrs. Elmer Wixon, one of the
ladies from Colorado, who attend
ed the National Republican Con-
.vention in Chicago, in an inter-
view regarding woman suffrage
in her state said:
"There are between 800 and
40, 900 more men than women in
Colorado. And yet, in spite of
this Offence in the population,
the woman's vote is all the way
from Al to So per cent of the en-
tire registration.
In some elections the issues
are more important than in 9TH
ers. Whenever there is matter
of vital Importance 1t has the
effect of bringing out the women
voters in great numbers. With
us the women who vote are large
| ly the better class. There are
very few clergymen in Denver
whose wives do not 60 with their
husbands to the polls. Mrs. Pea
body, the wife of the chief JUS
tice, the teachers in the public
schools, the wives and mothers
in the home-these are our chief
constituency. Our strong OPP
ponents are the machine politi-
clans, who cannot manipulate
the woman's vote as they expect
ed to do, foreigners who look up
on women as interiors, and above
all, the liquor dealers. Every.
where they are the most active
of our enemies, because they
have the money with which to
buy the Legislatures. This they
did in California and the State O.
Washington.

THE DEATH CUP.
Tsl1. Deadly Fungus Resembles Sew
eraI Edible Mushrooms.

eraI Edible Mushrooms.
Perhaps the most deadly of the pol
sonous fungi of our woods and fields
is the fairly well known death cup
(Amanita phalloides), particularly dan
gerous from its resemblance TO several
of the edible mushrooms, though gath
ering fungi for the table should be
undertaken by none save those thor
oughly acquainted with the different
species, as 1t is altogether too easy for
the ignorant enthusiast to make an err
ror which may prove fatal to his
friends.
The death cup referred to has a
round cap, white, yellowish or green
ish In color and the stem has swollen
base, surrounded by an envelope, or
veil, of a white filmy substance, which
parts as the stalk extends upward.
This stalk is pithy when young, but
hollow at maturity, and the gills of the
cap, which In the meadow mushrooms
are pink or brown. are white In the
deadly variety, as are also the spores,
which can be plainly seen If the cap
is laid, gills downward, on u piece of
colored paper for few hours. The
swollen, or dubious, base is distin-
gushing CHARACTERISTIC, and no fungus
Of that appearance should be gathered
for cooking. One of the liabilities is
that these caps may be broken of
without due observance of its base,
which Is often covered with earth or
dead grasses, hence not distinguished
from some of the lepiotas, which. how
ever, are never surrounded with the
filmy veil of the death cup.
The poisonous property of this fungus
is largely the same as that found in the
venom of q rattlesnake and also in
cholera and diphtheria, and so far sci
ence is unable to produce any satisfac
tory antidote, atropine, the stomach
pump and oil .purgatives being about
the only resources.-Wa Washington Post.
