AN INDIANS GRATITUDE.
Secures Release from Prison of Man 1. Who Befriended Him in
 Schooldays.

When James Seketer, an Indian boy entered the Carr Lane public school in this city 20 years ago, the boys made all manner of fun of him, calling him "Redskin," Chief Bear Killer and "Half-breed." Finally, relates a St. Louis paper, one day he resented it and went at one of his tormentors. A dog en boys piled on top of the little Indian and were giving him an unmerciful drubbing when Otto Willig came up
 Hold on! That ain't fair!" he cried "One at time"
 But the crowd didn't heed him.. In a moment he and Seketer were stand. ing side by side with their backs to the fence and fighting off the whole crowd. They were both severely han dled, but not whipped. and after that the boys let the Indian alone.
 Eight years ago Willig, in a frenzy, killed his sweetheart. Seketer helped him at his trial, but the best the at. torney could do was to get a peniten- tiary sentence of 25 years.
 We'll get you out of this yet" Sc keter told Willig as he went to prison A few days ago Seketer succeeded, aft. CT many efforts, in getting the trial judge to sign petition for Willig's pardon. Then he sent Willigs mother to Jefferson City with it. and as a re. suit Gov. Folk said to her: Take your boy home for Christmas present."

HIS FIRST CHRISTMAS GIFT
Chinese Laundryman Takes a Hand in the "Melican" Custom
 of Giving.

We have received our first Christ. mas gift" said Mir. Findleton, accord. ing to the New York Sun, ''in the shape of two little square. cube shaped raper packages of tea, with Chinese characters painted all over them They came from our Chinese laundry. man
 When We go for our washing and produce the ticket the Chinaman reaches for the bundle.
 Ninety cent, he says, and as we are reaching for the coin he reaches under the counter and produces from there those two little square pack. ages. which he lays down beside our bundle. We don't know what's in them, nor why he put them there. and as we put down the coin we take up one of the packets and say:
 What's this" and then says the laundryman. smilingly:
 "'Klismus.'
 And as we smile in return and pick up the odd little packets we think tho Chinaman is really more or less adaptable to the customs of the coun. try"

Though jugs and demijohns oi all kinds and descriptions were con- spicuous among the heavy Christmas freights piled on the Light street steamer piers this morning. the rush, according to steamboat official, is not expected until tomorrow and Friday.

 Two steamers of one route have car ried more than 300 packages of whisky to one of the eastern shore local op. tion districts in single day, to say nothing of scores of packages carried by individuals. An official of one of the big down-the-bay lines said to-day that the jug traffic by the steamers of that particular route is limited to the barrel and large package trade, making jugs and demijohns unneces- sary.
 Many of the men passengers arriving by bay steamers to-day brought their jugs or demijohns along, forming a unique procession as they filed up Light street to have the receptacles filled.

The newcomer watched the ox-nigh. watchman with catlike attention. Now, as he saw my companion approach the bar, against which he was still lean ing, he made as if to move away. But the temporary impulse was checked and drunken bravado made him hold his post. And so he heard the other : whining appeal for just one more beer, Nick, just one trrst until tomorrow"
 ! Sure I trust" said Nick, who had a reputation as a humorist, and pointed st the sign behind him, which bore this facetious legend:
 WE TRUST-To-MORROW."
 My companion, like whipped mon. grel, returned to the table.

 The eyes of the ex-night watchmau shone with the fire of rapacity.

 Sure, I will" affirmed the new. conner; here's a nickel, go and ge; yourself tub
 Like conQuerlng hero, my eompan' ion went to the bar and ordered hi: drink with elaborate haughtiness. took this opportunity to ask the new conner my question. Yes, he was tn man. .'.,e,t ~, -.
 The ex-watchman returned with his foaming "tub.' and, hoping for mora to follow. wanted to seat himself be side his new friend. But I felt al approaching crisis, and, wishing tl postpone it. if not able to prevent 1t, moved my chair between the two men
 They gave the customary toast, anl then the newcomer leaned over the table, after slyly winking at me.
 Don't you know me no more?" he asked the ex-watchman.
 A pair of blesry eyes peeped at ths questioner from an approaching ec. s;asy of stupefaction. No" answered the other, fast giv' ing in to the influence of the stun Where was it we metz
 The stranger stretched across ths table. bringing his face within few inches of the others.
 Now. look at me close"
 The sodden thing struggled to come to the border of intelligence. The ex watchman stared and scowled into every line and crevice of the face be. fore him. and, at last. he knew. It was my cue for action. I threw myself on the outraged man. and twining my arms around him. braced myself to restrain him. Had mol been there. I reasoned. the stranger g life would have been in direst ie'n' srdy. But. strangely. my muscles wers Tot taxed to the utmost.

Japanese Have Had Hold on Fusan for . Long Time-They Are Now
 Rapidly Spreading Through out the Land.

Some 300 years ago the Japanese re gent Hideyoshi sent over to neighbor ing Korea an invading army for the purpose of beginning the conquest oi China. Hideyoshi did not succeed in conquering the Flowery Kingdom, but the invasion of Korea by the Japanese led to the seizing and retention by them of Fusan, a trading station. The Koreans have long looked upon the laps as natural enemies; the Japs have considered the Koreans natural prey. The situation obtains today, complicated by the new status in in. ternationsl politics, by the fact that ''the peace of Portsmouth and the re. newed and amplified alliance with England bring Japan face to face with . grave problem, the government of Korea as a colony"
