be asked:
"was there design in leaving OFF the

This bond presented in court would
not be worth penny. since It can
not be a Bond until properly approved

A taste which has enormously de-
veloped in Korea Of recent years is
that for cigarettes. Native tobacco is
used by the countrymen in their long
pipes, but in the cities and even
among the laboring classes, when
they can afford It. the use OF the Gig
arctic has become almost universal.
Cigarettes were heretofore imported
almost exclusively from Japan. made
