Dainties For Korean Palate,.

The Korean Is omniverous. Birds of
the air, beasts Of the field and fish from
the sea-nothing comes amiss to his
palate, says writer in Leslie's Week
ly. Dog meat is in great request at
certain seasons, pork and beef with the
blood undrained from the carcass,
fowls and game; birds cooked with the
lights, giblets, head and claws intact;
fish, sun dried and highly malodorous
all are acceptable to him. Cooking is
not always necessary. A species of
sn III fish is preferred raw, dipped into
some piquant sauce. Other daintIes
are dried seaweed, shrimps, vermicelli,
pine seeds, lily bulbs and all vegetables
and cereals. Their .excesses make the
Koreans martyrs to indigestion.

We what's best to be DONE"
II see now, Mr.. Terry, why you dis
trust lawyers, and l do not wonder at
1t. To the best of my belief, you have
been swindled in the most outrageous
manner by Frye. He no doubt Is act
ing for some law firm who have in
structed him to find an heir, If there
is one, to this estate, and they would
naturally advance all expense money.

reply, "an' I've jest bout made up my

swered Albert after pause, "if you

really no proof that the child you
saved Is the one wanted for this in

the law Is very exactlng and demands
absolute proof. No. the only way is
to use duplicity and trick Frye or ask
