The Humorous Korean Budget.

While a governments budget Is NOT
a conclusive test as to its fitness to
rule. it is nevertheless valuable evil
dence as to the things upon which the
government throws the emphasis. 1t
gives an idea of the judgment Of the
government as to the relative value or
things. Such being the case, 1t is well
worth while examining the Korean
budget. In glancing through this one
cannot fail to be struck by the fact
that in the same budget in which ST.
1O3,350 is appropriated for the I'M
perial privy purse" $424 Is appropri-
ated for public works. When we find
S1,OOO,OOO appropriated for the funeral
expenses of the crown princess and
S27,71S for all public schools outside
the capital we cannot escape the con-
clusion that 1t overestimates the value
Of pageantry and, what is more serious,
sadly underestimates the duty which
government owes to the people to
promote q wide diffusion OF intelli-
gence Such a disproportionate outlay
evidences an exaggerated estimate OF
the value Of pageantry and an abbreyi-
ated notion of the value Of education.

box Just ahead of him. Every wave,
every current, every gust Of ;. nd that
throws the Prov OF that boat even a
few feet OFF its course. that t,enbling
needle at once shows the change. AT
once his strong hands grasp the han
dies of his wheel, and the boat is pull
ed back upon its right course. These
currents and winds and waves are
continually causing the PROV of the
boat to head wrong. Thus the quar-
termaster has to be always needing
the warning of his compass. So with
the human heart. God has placed
within every human breast a moral
compass called conscience. That con-
science is increasingly at work. 1t Is
perpetually showing man the error OF
his way and pointing to the right
course. Conscience is continually say
ing: "You ought to do this because 1t
is right. You ought not to do that be-
cause it is wrong" And no man, /
care not how low he may be In the
scale Of humanity, is without this
flaming torch of conscience showing
him the path Of purity and truth. Is
there any other animal on earth that
has a moral compass qulvering and
trembling in his heart besides the hui
man animal?
If you are a careful student OF zool-
ogy, you know that without eXcep-
ton the maternal instinct Of all ami
mails but the human being ceases when
the young are weaned and able to care
for themselves. Among the birds, aft
er the fedglings have been taught to
fly. the parents have absolutely no use
or love for their young. Among the
fishes. which are lower form Of life,
we do not find the parents caring at
all for their young. The salmon swim
up the rivers at spawning time. They
deposit their eggs In the shallow wa
ters. Then the mother fish at once be-
comes a cannibal and will eat her
Young If she has the chance. But In
the human family everything Is chang
ed. There love has its throne. There
human heart clings to human heart.
There the old love the young and the
young love the old. There the strong
help the weak and the weak help the
strong. Though in some human hearts
you find the love power stunted In It's
growth, yet everywhere in man you
can find the moral compass telling him
what is his duty to his fellow men.
There is no eye so dull but 1t can spar
kle at the thought of some sacrifice.
There is no ear so deaf but 1t quivers
at the wall of anguish. There is no
hand so weak but it grasps the hand
Of some other human being In friend
ship. There is no human heart so dead
but In it somewhere can be found af-
fection pulsating with life. Yes, the
lowest form of human being is infinite
ly above the highest forln Of the brute
creature, for in every human heart Is
the trembling needle of the moral
compass pleading with man to be a
better man than he Is and showing
him his duty to his fellow men. Hon
or all men" On account Of their pow
ers of affection, however meager they
may be, honor all men.

less. One day young man, not yet
twenty-five years OF age. named Mich
ael Angelo. came and looked at the
stone aud ordered Ii taken to his
studio. Then with mallet and chlsel
he began to work on it day in and day
out. He cut In and around this ugly
seam until at last the greatest OF his
early masterpieces took form and that
stone became the marvel OF the age
as "David the Shepherd" preparing for
his battle with the mighty Goliath. So
God can take man, rough, uncouth, sim
full man, man with all his imperfec-
tions. and chise him and cleanse him,
and "man the sinful will become
"nan the pure" to dwell with him for
ever.
oh. II we could only catch an In
spired vision Of what God can do for
us. then there would be no difficulty In
realizing what he can do for others!
In the sight OF the world little baby
does not amount to much. Babies are
born by the hundred every day. That
baby does not know anything but to eat
and sleep when he is well and cry when
he is In pain. But to his mother that
baby is no ordinary child. She hovers
over him; she cares for him; she has
beautiful visions Of what that baby In
the future may become. And when, as
time passes on, the baby grows into
boy and the boy into an intellectual
giant and becomes leader Of men the
mother sits sweetly by and says: "Oh,
I am not surprised! Even when he
was a little boy | thought all this sue
cess might be his. | dreamed about
the success he was to achieve even
when he was a little baby sleeping in
nv arms or when I was rocking his
cradle"
If you will only surrender your heart
to Christ. God can see you growing
more and more each day like himself.
Then God sees you learning to love
men and women and children, no mat
ter how sinful they may be. Then
God sees you bringing the humblest
and the weakest Of his children to his
mercy seat Then God sees you
ascending into glory to sit by his side.
Oh, my friend. will you not let this
divine idea come true? 1t can and 1t
will If you will only yield your sinful
heart to Jesus Christ. You cannot
honor men unless you allow yourself
to be honored by the cleansing and
purifying blood of Jesus Christ. Get
right with God. friend. Get right with
God now.

Marvellous Cures From Sun Baths.

An open air institution In Berlin Is
working wonders in curing men and
boys Of various kinds Of ailments, such
as paralyzed limbs, neuralgia, rheuma-

nervous affections. 1t Is called the
light air sport bath" 1t is founded
on the theory that clothing is detri-
ment to health, and the patients are re-
quired to wear nothing on their bodies
while taking treatment except very
light bathing trunks. 1t Is an open
space fenced in and equipped With all
the appliances Of gymnasium, tennis
courts. etc All around the grounds Is
an open corridor provided with re-
freshment booths, shower baths and,
seats. The grounds are open the year
around and many of the more hardy
90 there to disport themselves when
the snow is falling. In the summer
time the sun baths are said to be the
great source of cure. which Is many
times aided by the benefits Of the ex-

Honor All Men.

But we should honor all men be-
cause we can see the work Of grace
which the gospel can perform In the
heart of even the vilest sinner. We
see how Gods love can enter a sinful
heart and purify it and recreate 1t. 1t
is not the raw, crude material of phys
ical life that is of so much value, but
when that raw material has been made
over by the skilled hand Of the divine
Workman then the finished article be-
comes of great intrinsic worth. Man
may be in the beginning repulsive and
repugnant to the eyes of others, but
eleansed by grace he is worthy to be
honored not only by the inhabitants
of earth, but also by the denizens OF
the skies.

RECORD TELLS
TERRIBLE TALE
Human Lives Sacrificed Upon
Altar of Industry in District
of PittSburg.

Pttsburg. June 23.-"Human lives sac
rficed upon the allan of industry might
well be the title of the blotter in the Of
flee of the coroner of Allegheny county,
a volume that mutely proclaims upon its
pages what il costs beside money for
Pittsburg and its district of smoky mills
and gridiron territory, to maintain its
prestige in the milling, mining and mer-
camille marts of the country and retain
its title of workshop of the world.
This volume. one of the records de-
manded by the laws of the commonwealth
shows that almost 30 per cent of the
deaths are violent and are the result di-
rectly OF indirectly of the unceasing rush
and grind of the industries in the Pitts
burg district. that are continually driven
night and day. to supply the demands of
the worlds markets.
Deaths from natural causes contagious
diseases. suicides. murders and accidents
met in the ordinary walks of life, are not
considered in this percentage.

ASK INSPECTION
BY GOVERNMENT.
TraCkmen Believe That Greater
Safety to Travelling Public
Can Be Brought About.

Kansas City, Mo, June 2S.-President
Roosevelt and the governors of sew
eral states have been asked to aid the
National Union of Railway Trackmen
in a campaign for greater safety in
railway travel. ]. 1. Sheppard of Fort
Scott, Kan, secretary of the organ
izatiOn, yesterday sent out letter ad-
dressed to the president and several
governors. in which he says:
IF we can obtain the cooperation
of all who should be interested, we will
have as safe conditions for railway
travel in our country as prevail in Eu-
rope. We certainly should have our
government or state inspection of rail-
way tracks. Some one should be held
responsible to the people for keeping
the tracks in proper repair, and prop
erly patroled.
1T is a curious condition of affairs,
but it is true. We have state inspec-
ton of factories and mines, or beer, bar
bers, pharmacists and dentists; there
is state control over the product of the
busy bee, and the farmer who raises
wheat must pay a state inspection fee
before he can market his grain. But
there is no law that is observed that
provides for the inspection of railroad
tracks"

MISSING YOUNG MAN FOUND

view, WyO, young man who disappeared
from his home more than a month ago,
has been found. alive and well. on a ranch
at bennington. F. K. Roberts of Salt
for bennington Saturday night, yesterday
telegraphed to the mother and other rel
atives of the missing young man that he
had been found but that he refused to
return home. He has been working on
McIntyreS ranch at bennington for sew
eral weeks, while his relatives and others
who had been searching for him had Civ
en- up hope.
Mr.. Roberts telegram did not give any
inkIing as to the reason for the young
mans disappearance. but it is thought
that q quarrel with his sweetheart caused
him to leave home and to refuse to return.
1t was after a slight misunderstanding
that his rfderless horse was found a few
miles from his home a month ago. City

Young mans mother, Mrs. Dollie Roberts
Carter took up the search and located
him at the ranch of Samuel Cox in Rob-

that the young man would probably be
found on q ranch near Lexington and the
uncle left for that place at once. The tel

lowed
Mr.. Roberts is expected TO return from
bennington today and another effort will
be made to have the young man return

RUMORS OF WAR
NOT CREDITED
Interested Japanese Politicians
Employ American Agitation
to Attack Ministry.

Toxic, June 24.-Public excitement
about the American question has al
most passed away, but the agitation is
still going on. 1t is mostly the work
of politicians Of the opposition, who are
employing the question as a weapon of
attack upon the ministry.
The PrOgeSSiVes and a coterie Of poll
ticians called the "DaidO club will
likely join hands in a combined attack
on the ministry over the American
question, their principal aim being to
thereby strengthen their respective po-
sitiOns in the coming election of local
assemblies, and also in the general cleo
ton of next year Their principal
watchwOrd is the diplomatic impoteucy
of the SaiOnji cabinet. which has re-
suited, they say. in suffering to con-
patriots i'm America and in ina bility to
receive treatment worthy the subjects
of A first-class power.
1t is difficult to f0Tetell how far they
can succeed in stirring up the public
but whatever attempts are made in
the way of agitation, actual hostilities
with the United States are not even
dreamed of.
The war talk in some of the Amer
lean press is totally ignored here.
