 TALKS OF KOREA
Addresses Mems Missionary Society of the First Presbyterian
 Church of This City.

The Mems Missionary society of meeting Tuesday, and d very inter- esting talk was given by Dr. Forsythe his subject being Korea. Owing to the inclemencN of the weather, how ever. only q very small crowd was in attendance
 Dr. ForSythe stated that in his opin ion modern hospitals and medical at tention was the best mode of reaching the Koreans, also that there had never been such an opportunity as at the present t0 reach the Koreans. Be- cause of d recent treaty. Japan prac- ticallv controls this country, and the Koreans have q very strong dislike for the Japanese. Their nationality is gone and for relief they will turn to almost anything.
 Dr. Forsythe, as a physician. has had two years experience in Korea, and although not licensed preacher he is a Christian man. and uses his influence in that line, as well as his professional lines, and thinks that medical attention is one of the surest and quickest ways in which to reach these people
 The feeling of the Koreans towards the American people is very friendly, While they resemble both 1he Japs and Chinese, thev speak a different and distinct Language. but in writ in2 use Chinese characters lntel- lectually they are equal to either ca1ed. and their physicians have ne Knowledge whatever of anatomy ol physiology, therefore are not able te give the proper medical service that they should have

A TRAGEDY IN sTEET.noAF


Once more the Pittsburg group Of
millfonaires furnishes a scandal
tragedy-which sets the world to talk
ing incidentally the scion of one Of
the royal houses Of Stee1dom lies IN
felon's cell, facing a charge of murder;
his victim a man OF prominence in the
nations metropolis, is dead in his
home; beautiful girl. the supposed
cause of it all, is the wife Of a man
slayer and tragedy and grief has come
to ? score of persons.
Harry Thaw is the victim of too
much money. Had his father never
been able to pile up twenty million dol
lars in the steel business; had he in
stead made just enough to give his son
good education. Harry Thaw would
now probably be d working and
respected business man. Instead he
has had great wealth to spend. He
has not worked, but has lived in idle
ness and luxury in European capitals
and resorts. He has spent $4,000 or
$500 year. incidentally becoming
infatuated with a young girl. perhaps
as foolish as himself. His money. has
given him an opportunity to ruin him
self.
The real cause. why Harry Thaw
murdered Stanford White is unknown
to the, world at this writing. The dead
mans attitude towards Evelyn Thaw
may make a difference in the worlds
opinion Of Harry Thaws deed, but it
cannot change the fact that Harry
Tnaw was ruined by his own money.
It is announced that the defense will
be that Thaw was insane. Perhaps he
IS; but If so, he has been made insane
because of his own indulgences, and
because, as a loafer instead of work
er, he had time to think over alleged
wrongs, real or fancied.
There seems to be a screw loose
somewhere in the Thaw family. Only
two years ago the country was scan
dalized when a titled fortune-hunter
came to America from England and
was bought by Mrs. Thaw for her
daughter, Harry's sister. At least the
world looked upon it as purchase,
for all the financial details of the
transaction were made public by the
family.
Then the country heard that Harry
Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit, an actress
and artists model, were together in
Europe and purposed getting married.
The young mans mother forbade it. but
they were married anyway. The storm
in ehe Thaw family was heard through
out the land. Again there were dis
eussions as to financial settlements to
secure young Thaw's release, but they
came to naught. The Thaw family has
been depended upon to furnish a sensa-
ton periodically.
It's a pretty good thing for most
people that they have not money
enough to make fools of themselves.
1t is a great blessing that necessity
compels them to work for a living and
to count the nickels they spend. other
wise there would be too many Thaw
families in the world.

THE HARVEST HAND CROP.

This annual shortage in the harvest
hand crop in Kansas is becoming more
and more serious with each successive
season, and it promises to continue to
be so while the prosperity of the eoun-
try continues.
This may seem somewhat peculiar
but it is true The Kansas wheat har-
vest is not as large this year as it has
been in other years, yet it was pToba-
bly, never so hard to get enough harvest
hands as it is now.
The reason for the shortage is that
wheat is a crop that requires compare
lively little work except at harvest
time. The wheat farmer takes his time
about his blowing from July till Oeto-
Der. In some of the western counties
wheat land is plowed only once in two
years. The wheat is put in with a
drill. and one man can cover q big ter
ritory. After that there is nothing to
be done until the harvest. The seeding
is completed in October, and the farm
er might as well go to Europe from
then until June, so far as doing his
crop any good is concerned.
But when the wheat begins to turn
yellow he must get busy. He must have
his binders and headers ready for bust
ness and equipped with binding twine;
and Just as soon as the wheat is ripe
enough the work must commence. The
harvest will not watt And there must
he men to do the work The farmer has
nut in three or four times as much
grain as he can care for in the few
davs in which it must be harvested. I'm
less he gets three or four men to help
him part of his crop viii be wasted
and all that Is wasted comes out Of his
profits
There are six million acres of wheat
on the Kansas prairies which demand
attention at practically the same time.
In the more populous counties and
those where diversified farming is prae-
ticed, there are enough people and farm
hands to take care Of the crop. They
let the corn and alfalfa stand while
they save the wheat. But further west
where wheat represents four-f1fths Of
the agricultural activity extra men
must be imported. IN addition to the
regular farmers, all the lawyers and
doctors and merchants in the little
towns have a hundred acres or more
of wheat out in the country, and they
depend on imported help to harvest it.
Pratt county, for instance, has a pop
uIation of a little over 5000. and It
raisesi about 175.000 acres OF wheat.
There are perhaps 1000 bodied
men in the county, and $500 are need
ed during harvest. # Pratt county
alone needed help 1t could be furnished.
but at the same time Is or 20 other
counties are calling Justify for aid. and
all the other counties are so busy that
they can't help the needy ones.
This year in more than a dozen coun-
ties which ordinarily need a large num-
Der of men the wheat crop is short
and they are asking but little help.
But Notwithstanding this It is more
dif8cuIt to secure harvest hands this
year than ever before. Why3 Because

The corn belt is steadily pushing

Increasing the corn area in those re-

belt is steadily pushing west towards
