he had enough and would call it

be lots better to call it quits, but he
really did not understand. told him
it was no wonder, because his brain
was not constructed to stand so much

thought the joke was on him. He

Bert on the phone to-day to tell him
again what I thought of him, he

Real Estate in Korea.

One of the most astonishing regu-
lations has been made regarding the
transfer of real estate in Korea. No
one is to be allowed to sell or buy
real estate except by express per-
mission of the Governor. This is ap-
parsntly a move on the part Of the
japanese to prevent the selling of
any land in Korea except to people
that they approve, for the Governors
are, of course, under the japanese
advisers. 1t makes no difference that
foreigners have as good a right to
buy land as the Japanese. The ma.-
ter will have to be tested in the court
before the Powers will allow their
citizens to be curtailed in their priv
ileges in the peninsuis.-korea

The OLD CLOCK AGAINST THE

Oh. the old, o,d clock Of the household

Oh! the old, Old clock cf the household
stock.
Was the brightest thing and nea,est;
It's hands, though old. had Il touch CT gold,
And its chime rang still the sweetest:
Twas Il monitor, tee, though its words
were few.
Yet they lived through nations altered,
And its voice, still st<ong, warned OLD aud
young,
When the voice of friendship ialtered.
e'Tick! tick" it said-"quick, quick to bec,
For 10 I've given warning;
Up! up! and 60, or else You know.
You'll never rise soon in the morning.
"A friendly voice was taat old, old clock,
AS it stood in the corner smiling,
And it blessed the time with i merry
chime,
The wintry hours beguiling;
But cross old voice was that ticesome
clock.
As it called at daSbreak boldly,
When the dawn looked gray DER the misty
way,
And the early air blew coldly.
s"Tick! tick" it said, quick out of bed,
For I've given warning;
You'll never have health, you'll never have
wealth,
Unless you're up soon in the morning"
Still hourly the sound goes round and
round,
With tone that never ceases;
While tears are shed for bright days fled,
And the old friends lost forever;
It's heart beats on-though hearts are gone,
Yet love still lives the stronger:
It's hands still move-though hands we love
Are clasped on earth no longer!
fTick.. tick" it sa;d-"to the chlrchyard
bed,
The grave hath given warning;
Up! up! and rise, and look at the skies.
And prepare for heavenly morning"

SUBSTITUTES FOR AIR TIRES.
Efforts to Replace the Pneumatic
Tube.

Inventors may come and invent
ors may co. says the Motor World,
bat the penumatic tire goes on for
ever, seems to represent in a nutshell
the status Of the present universally
used type of tire and of the horde Of
inventors who are vainly trying to
displace it with something that shall
possess all of its advantages, but lack
it's defects. While the history Of
great inventions clearly shows that
it is never safe to deride a device or
its inventor regardless of how bizarre
or far-fetched his idea may appear at
first sight, there would seem to be
little of permanent value in the mass
Of spring devices that are now ap-
pearing so constantly as to run a
close second to the non-refillable bot
tie and the rotary engine in the pat
ent records.
People. great and small, learned
and otherwise, ridiculed the tele-
graph and the telephone to a far
greater extent than is the lot of the
airship Of to-day, and not alone the
average tire user, but the tire maker
without exception, regards with
amused contempt the thousand and
one attempts to utilize wierd and
freakish combinations of springs and
rubber to obtain the degree Of re-
siliency that experience thus far has
demonstrated is only possible with
rubber and canvas-confned air.
There are two fundamental principles
upon which rest the value Of the
pneumatic tire-the extreme elastic
ity of compressed air, in which re-
spect it is equalled by no other
known substance, and the fact that
this indispensable quality is applied
directly at the place where it is most
required-the point OF shock.
Many of the devices that have
come and gone In the past year or
two have had incorporated in their
makeup one cr the ether of these
principles. Many, hare placed the
springs about the rim in the atteL.pt
20 concentrate the desired effect
where r.ost wanted; others lave en-
ployed rubber confined air about the
hub and yet others have virtually
placed a pneumatic tube beneath e
solid rubber tire, only altering the
construction of the wheel itself to
the extent necessitated by the
changed form Of rim. With the ex-
ception of the last, which it really a
form of pneumatic tire, neither OF
the most numerous classes have en-
bodied both Of these sine qua non,
without which the results now af-
forded by the pneumatic tire are i'm
possible.
Whether device that will do so
effectively will ever materialize, or
whether one of the army Of geniuses
that is laboring to this end will sue
ceed in discovering some totally new
method of achieving this much de-
sired result is subject upon which it
j is not easy to predict. One thing is
certain, and that is that no great
amount Of progress has been forth
coming as yet, and that little or none
! is to be expected from further I'D.
herence to the ideas that have been
proven to be fallicies time and again
It would doubtless be better for those
most interested if the slate could be
. n.inad nlnan and new start made =

It puzzled the attorneys and judges
OF the commission just little why
it was that it took freight car. on
the average about thirteen days to
make a trip which could be made; at
a ten mile rate in twenty-five hours.
The first railroad representative to

Mr.. Blanchard declared that
freights moved cu the average of ten
miles an hour, and then testified that
he thought from ten to fifteen days
was not too great time to allow
for a car to make a distance Of 250
miles.
He explained this by stating that
hct boxes frequently delayed the
progress of a car, and that various
other causes contributed to the delay
of the car in transit. According to
his testimony, it would not be. un-
commcn for freight car to move
from point to point at the rate of
little less than a mile per hour.
