Americans in COrea.

Americans have done more for Corea than the people of any other nation, writes Frank G. Carpenter. It was our naval vessels which first unlocked its doors to the world and our missionaries gave it the first taste of western civili- zation and of the Christian religion. Our traders were among the first i'm pOrters, and our capitalists built the first railroad. Americans now own most of the valuable gold mines and are developing them.
 The electric railway at Seoul belongs to Americans, and its electric light company is an American institution. It is the same with the Seoul water works, and also with the national bank, the charter of which was given to an American. There are now 24O Amer jeans in Corea. Of these 100 live in Seoul, 65 are working in the gold mines at Unsan, 34 live in Pingyang, and 10 are associated with the rail- roads.
 Five Americans are in the service of the Corean government, and the confi- dential foreign adviser of the King on the part of the Japanese is also an American. The man who has done more than any other for western civil izatlon in Corea, more to render the life of foreigners safe there and more to advance the interests of the United Nl-A- IL n A mer minister to Seoul, who has recent ly given up his work there and return ed to the United States.

ALL ABOUT sUccoTAsH.
Famous Dish that Has Been Enjoyed
 for Centuries by Americans.

for Centuries by Americans.
 Succotash has always been in vogue in New England since the purltans learned the art of mixing corn and beans from the Indians nearly 300 years ago. Many dishes have been ill., vented since then, and most of them have gone out of business, but the popularity of succotash remains.
 Succotash, next to Indian pudding, is probably the oldest dish we of Con necticut have in our list of eatables It was in use among the Indians of Plymouth when the Englishmen land ed, and they had probably eaten it for hundreds of years before that time. In this section it was also the prin- cipal article of food for the Connecti- cut Indians during the summer months and fall, and is said to have been the creation at some remote per iod of the Narragansett Indians of Rhode Island
 They called it "Msickquatash, and from that word has come the word succotash. When the puritans landed in New England they soon learned how to prepare the food of corn and beans from the aborlgines, and they liked the mixture.
 An old lady of Plymouth, who has made it for half a century, says the Plymouth brand of succotash has corned beef, turnips and chicken in it. The mystery of how to prepare this mixture is said to be one of the heir looms passed down from generation to generation. We Connecticut people who are used to the plain corn and beans, with a little pork, are slow to embrace the Massachusetts rendering of the succotash recipe.
 In the old taverns of our grand fathers day succotash was frequently served as the only dish at dinner.
 In the year 17S0, just after the main road through Guilford had been made part O. the great stage route Ge- tween Boston and New York, the Mar quis de Lafayette entered the quiet NllldSe Ou HIS way HUH 4NcN Ioih eO Newport. He put up over night at Squire Browns tavern, on the west side of Guilford Green, or common, where the national bank now stands Brown wanted to treat the famous Frenchman as well as possible and served him with succotash for supper The marquis ate heartily of the dish complimented the squire on the per feet blend of the corn and beans, and departed on his way to Newport.
 Many years after, when the mar quis met Charles Jared Ingersoll of New Haven, who was attached to the French embassy, in Paris, he recalled the supper of succotash he had in Guilford at Squire Browns tavern. The marquis again visited Guilford in 1924 and stopped at Miner Bradley's tavern, but whether he had succotash or not isn't mentioned.-Hartford Courant.

A WORD OF CHEER.
NONN0NNNNN~

0SSNS"~NNSSSS~S
 "Poor Mary Emma has broken her wrist-the right one"-said Mrs. Lane, as she finished reading letter from her cousin, Mary Emma's husband. "Now I'll sit down and write her this very afternoon, and express my sym pathy and tell her something cheerful to take her mind off herself. My hus- band says I can do that better than al most any one else he knows" This is what she wrote:
 Dear Mary Emma-Your good hus- bands letter was received this morn ing, and glad was to get it and hear the news from you.
 Suppose you had broken one of your legs or an arm, or had suffered a con fusion of the brain, such as has come upon Uncle Silas through falling from ladder?
 And oh, how thankful we should all be that we aren't foreigners engaged in war and liable to be blown up at any time! Every night I read the pa per and see how people are being killed all over the world, and then when I've looked at the lamp to make sure it's not getting ready to ex. plode, my heart is filled with gratitude to think my lot is cast in Boston.
 Of course, living in New York as you do, you haven't that cause for thankfulness, but when you're lying awake nights with your wrist, think how it would be if you were out on the plains or in Africa. Many people are there, you know.
 Then you'll be free from writing for one while, and that must be con- fort; for 1 can tell from your letters how much you dislike writing-what a task it is for you; and now nobody will expect to hear from you for weeks. Don't on any account strain the mus cles by writing too soon.
 But most of all you ought to be thankful that your husbands nature is so calm. Why, if I'd broken my wrist or so much as one tiny finger bone, my Sam would have been nearly crazy, whereas your William wrote such a beautiful letter about every thing being for the best, and how he always felt resigned to whatever came those aren't his words, but that's the idea.
 I can't help thinking that when you sum up all the things for which you can be thankful and add your dear William, the pain in your wrist will seem like nothing!
 I will write again soon, and remain your affectionate cousin, SOPHIA LANE.

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.
More Amusing to the Outsider than
 tO inc Victim.

sO the V IctlHis
 A most perplexing and absurd typo graphical error tried to find its way, but unfortunately, was captured on it's way, into the columns of Harper's the Astor, the Tilden and the LenoX libraries I wrote long and hurried paper of several columns in length con corning the three institutions and their founders The journal was to go to press early on Saturday, and the arti- cle was not finished until very late on Friday night The messenger boy took it to Franklin Square the next morning very early, and by the time of my ar rival at the editorial rooms the long, vet galley proofs, unseen as yet by pro- fessiGnal proofreaders, were ready for inspection. Printed on different press es and in different rooms, they came down in an irregular way. without se- quence, without head or tail. l skipped from paragraph to paragraph, from subject to subject, in most confusing Illullntl, lilc lllttl NlCN II impatiently at my elbow, the typeset- ters crying for revise" and all went swimmingly along until I came to the following remarkable sentence: New York perhaps has never fully realized until this day how greatly it has been enriched by the receipt of the vest but tons of James LenoX!'
 Why west buttons?" I had no rec ollection of writing anything about Mr. LenoX's vest buttons or about any buttons of any sort belonging to Mir. LenoX or to his library. And l could not remember in the haste of compost tion what I had written. But l cer- tainly had not mentioned vest buttons, which could in no possibility have any connection with the subject in hand. At last in despair copy was sent for, when it was discovered that Mir. Len oX's west buttons" were the vast be- quests" of that generous, public spir- tied gentleman!
 Still I find myself quoted as picking up Hldlly edGHeSl perSOllS, lllSlcdi Ol 'honest pennies;" as taking dog" instead of day" out of my vaca- tion; as being possessed of coach and four and "a gold gallows" instead of gold galore;" as aiming from the train" instead of arriving on the train;" as arranging myself' instead of "arraying myself in a golf suit; as driving and putting 'gold balls" in stead of golf balls;" as making the cook garbage" instead of ''garnish" the dish with parsley; as making the dairymaid "charm the butter" when her business was to 'churn the butter" and finally as speaking of friend as being slightly dead" instead of slight ly deafv'
 1 can understand the dairymaid as being willing and ready to "charm the butter,' but again I ask, Why west buttons ?"-Laurence Hutton in Critic.

In Old Gotham.

As the big sightseeing automobile rumbled through the crooked streets of New York a smart chap on the side walk shouted:
 Look at the jays from ChicagoI You can tell they are jays because they keep their hands in their pock- ets."
 "You bet we do," retorted the Chica- go visitors. we keep our hands in our pockets to keep other hands out of them. You can't trust New York"

MAN OF FALLEN FoRrUNEA
He Discourscs on the Importance of
 Wearing Good Clothes.

T would recommend" said the man of fallen fortunes, "that every man keep where he can see it a photograph of himself as he looked at his best, in good clothes, as an incentive to him to keep up appearances.
 Next to q stout heart there is noth- ing helps man so much in the world as a good appearance, and it often happens that unless a man present Il trim and slightly exterior he can't get even past the barriers that hedge in the strong man he wants to reach, the man of intelligence, as well as of power and authority, who is able to judge a man independently of his clothes. And then good clothes pro mote their wearer's confidence in his own strength, and so are an aid to him.
 "The fact is that, while we may lack initiative, the most of us discover strength if we are put to it, and good clothes give man confidence in him self and so help him to develop his own strength. They help to make him feel that he is as good as any body, which is great help. They help to make him not afraid, and they also tend, in every healthy-minded man, to make him feel that he must keep his end up among his fellows, that he must make good, just as shabby clothes make man shy of his fcl- lows, and Shy or slothful in the eXer- else of his own abilities, and content with the path which, with his clothes, he naturally travels, which is outside the fence.
 "All of which is brought to me by the finding of a picture of myself taken twenty years ago, when wore good clothes, trim garments, and faultless linen, and perfectly kept shoes. Homely details these, but tho picture, come upon suddenly, brought to me for the first time strikingly the difference in myself between that time and this! now not unkempt, perhaps not untidy, but still approaching to shabbiness, wearing abroad now gar ments in which then would never have dreamed of appearing and con- tent-and here is the dreadful trouble content to appear in them.
 "For we do not realize the grada- tions by which we descend; we don't realize what we have come to look like; we are satisfied with ourselves as we are. And we may have con stant friends upon whom, as upon our selves, the change in us has como gradually, who may give little thought to 1t. But even they do insensibly realize it. and it has its effect upon them, you may be sure, while upon the stranger-highly important is it for you to get this firmly fixed in your mind-upon the stranger the impress sion you produce is of what you are to-day. He doesn't know what you once were-how could he?-he as- sesses you for what you appear to be to him. And he wouldn't be far wrong.
 Ut is good business to wear good clothes. AS old man Polonius said to son Laertes:
 Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy But not expressed in fancy; rich, not
 gaudy;
 For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
 Tt is true, and I think I'll have to get some new clothes myself and buck p."-Washington Post.

''OLD HICKORY"
TO HAVE A MONUMENT in
BRONZE AT ST. LOUIS.

st. Louis, January "a bronze
equestrian statue of Andrew jackson
will be erected in this city by the Ten
nessee Society of st. Louis, as the re-
suit of a resolution read to the members
at the eleventh annual banquet held at
at the Planters Hotel last night by H.
Grubbs. The resolution was adopted
unanimously and COMMITTEES of TWEEN
ty five appointed by President Charles
P. Curd to see to the carrying out of
ths work.
Mr.. Grubbs, in introducing his reso.
luton, said that st, Louis was especial
ly lacking in statutes aud monuments,
and that he thought il time that some
thing was done TO beautify the city 10
that way. He said that many books
had been written of Jackson, but only
three monuments erected--one at New
Orleans, one at Washington and anoth
or at Nashville.
The resolution asked that the Presi
dent appoint committee of twenty five
to be known as the Andrew Jackson
Monument Committee, to provide funds
as soon as possible and to have cast and
erected in st. Louis in some suitable
location bronze equestrian statne TO
the honor of the "patron saint of Ten.
nessee," Andrew Jackson.
The banquet was attended by most of
5he members of the Tennessee Society
nd over fifty guests. The American
flag, and the State flag Of Tennessee
adopted by the Legislature last april,
were conspicuous in the decorations.

wonderful work of man.
We shall be glad to have you call at
our new quarters, whenever we can

however, as 1t speaks clearly for it.
self, It presents facts and figures
winch no other Mayor of this town
has ever been able to incorporate in
his valedi ctory message. 1t shows a
cleaa, capable business administration
which this business community will
learn to appreciate mora and more, the
more they study 1t. Some administra :
tons are known by the debts they
make; by liabilities which last throug
the years. The $40, 900 L. & N. pas
sanger station gait. for illustration.
But the BrownIow administration
will Ee remembered long for two
Things; and for these two things it has
never Eeen equalled. To-wIt: Good
morals. ana good tnanciering. The
laws governing the public morals have
never been so we'll and so wisely en-.
forced; and the contracts made by the
Brownlow board will be saving the
peoples money as long as they last.
All in all, Mr.. Brownlow is the best
Mayor Columbia has ever had; and,
(because of the careless indifference of
this business community, so discourage
ing to business men to offer for politi-
cal psrferment, we do not expect soon

naaling the Carnegie Library law
Mayor Guest refaried the matter tC
the members OF the Board and askeH
their opinion. Tne maj 1rItY of tht

changes had been suggested in the
duties of the Board of Health, one OF
suggestions BEING that the City H aal'h

cradle Importance and stated that be
thought all changes in the realth laws
should be made before the City Henltt
Officer is elected. The election was
therefore postponed till the next regu-

1t has been suggested that the South
should send to Europe and pick the
better class of would be emigrants and
bring them direct from their old home
to the sou 'hern states. The suggestion
is good one But why wait upon the
entire South to move? Why not Ten
nessee? Or why wait upon Tennessee;
why not Maury County? No better ir
vestment could be made than a sub
seription 20 g public fund to send an
agent to Sweden or Ireland or Germany,
to induce a thousand of the better
class of emigrants to come and locate in
Maury County. Ii would pay
US to pay their way here, 10 whole or
in part. We need them IN our fields
and in our kitchens and offices and
homes. With thousands and tens Of

German and Swede young men and
women, longing for a home in this
country of equal rights aud great OF =
portunity, why should we, right here N
Maury county, sit and complain and or :
dure the trihing labor that we have?
Fortune smiles upon those who WOO it
with earnest effort The way to rid
ourselves, the way to become indepen-
dent of the lazy, lousy, thieving help we
now from circumstance must employ, is
to raise fund and send an agent to the
old country to find US better help. 1t
would not be an herculean effort; it
won Id not be such great undertaking:
it could be accomplished. If some one
would undertake to organize the move.
ment, to crystalize the sentiment, it
could be done. And it would be fraught
with great blessing to this community.
