ing to the authorities, that this short
age: will reach, if it does not. exceed,
$4,000. TIE county commissioners,
under whose direction the investiga.
tion is. being conducted, admit that all
the facts have not been made public,
as they hoped that something might
turn up to make the shortage less
than it. appears on the surface. 1t was
at first thought that Obenchain went
away with very little money, but later
developments led to the belief that he
took not less than $4,000 with him.
Where he has gone is mystery.

MEMS HATS I'm r
The Reason They Are. Wide nrimmeA,
High and Fragile.

In Il lecture OH Korea. Burton Holmes.
speaking Of the mems hats. said;
Though Korea and especially Seoul
has many foreigners and the people
have become accustomed to strangers,
they adhere closely to their curious
costumes, the hat being the most iln-
pressive part OF the garb. The Korean
gentleman never removes his hat in the
presence of company. either in the
house or outside. The hat must be
worn constantly during waking hours.
"The hat consists of u wide brlm and
. crown high enough to contain the
topknot. The hats are made OF many
materials and vary In price from 50 to
$40. Their form dates back to II time,
centuries ago when a king who was
fearful OF plots and conspiracles de-
vised the bead wear as a protection
against his noble enemies. If men
could not get their heads together, he
argued. they could not engage in a
conspiracy, 80 he issued an edict COM
polling his courtiers to wear hats with
gigantic brfms. Then in order to pre-
vent fighting IN the street he ordered
that these hats be made Of a thin
porcelain. In case Of a fight the hat
would certainly be broken. This would
necessitate explanations from the no.
bleman, and street rows We're thereby
ended.
"Though the hats are no longer made
Of porcelain, they are sufficiently frag-
lie to be broken If the wearers engage
In any violent demonstrations"
