The japanese explained the foregoing
agreement as follows:
This agreement is nothing more
than q natural and logical sequence to

remembered that in this protocol the
japanese government undertook to
give advice to the Korean government
with regard to the Improvements Of adj
ministration, which advice the latter
agreed to accept with full confidence.
THE financial embarrassment of the

been constant cause Of internal

FACTS CONCERNING SLEEP
This Writer Says Nap at Midday Is
Sometimes Better Than
Good Meal.

The scholar and professional man,
like the anxious housewife. is apt to
carry his cares to bed, and insomnia be-
comes curse. Men and women who are
busted in getting and gaining. the mer-
chant. the banker. all alike, fail to secure
that self-control which can manage the
mind as well asleep as awake. says the
Pilgrim.
Normal sleep should be purely
physiological reposa similar to the rest
of animals, who go TO sleep with the
darkness and awake with the light.
Some one has said that sleep is like
hunger and thirst. representing a dtmi-
mutton OF energy throughout the entire
body. hardly think this can be true,
but in my judgment sleep rather sug-
gests the diminution of energy of the
brain. and he is a wise man who takes
the hint when brain flag sets in Of an
evening and goes comfortably and prop
erIy to bed.
OF course it goes without saying that
night is not the only time for sleep.
Men and women who are busy could
steal just a few minutes before or after
the noonday luncheon to catch q little
nap. and, indeed, ] am nearly sure that
the monday nap is worth far more than
the MONDAY meal, for the digestive
processes are surely hindred during the
periods of mental activity, and It Is the
exceptional person IN this busy world
Of ours who is not called upon to use all
his brain and Drawn to make a living.

The romantic elopement OF Princess
Louiss Of Coburg, da tighter OF King
Leopold Of Belgium, has thrown all
Europe into excitement. The princess
companion in flight is said TO have
been Lieut.. Geza Mattasich-k egleyiea,
formerly an officer in the Austrian
army, with whom her royal highness
attempted to fee some time ago.
7'he liaison between the princess
and the lieutenant has long been no.
toFious, but he has been tolerated by
European society owing to Louise
social position as daughter of a
king.
The abduction of the princess from
hotel at Elster in Saxony has ali
the romantic features Of such an cpl
sode from modern novel.
Ladders, dark lanterns and an auto
mobile figured prominently in the ab-
duction In the morning the window
of the princess room was found open,
and a ladder by which she had de-
scended was still in place. The
princess, with all her Jewels, the lat
ter worth a fortune, was missing. So
was an automobile belonging to the
hostelEy from which the clipping
couple made their fight.
The career of Princess Louise has
been q most romantic and sensational
one from the first. She is now at the
mature age of 48. but her beauty has
deteriorated little from the effects OF
age on the exactions Of her social
life.
The princess is the eldest child Of
King Leopold, and in youth was mar
