WIVES In KOREA.
A Humorist Who Draws a Moral Form

II is said that In Korea after m.
tive woman Is welded she becomes

Ncwkirk In the Boston Post. This IL
LIP conformity TO custom and caste
A Korean wife does not after mar
riage become absolutely mute, but
she does not speak unless necessl-
y demands It. And, by tho way.
II none Of US talked any more
than necessity demanded this world

say, "Ah, that my wife were a Ko

abroad In this land Of the free and the

DANGER.

"She was even more afraid of cows
than most girls, so when she spied a
placid animal recumbent under tree,
peacefully chewing Its cud, she at first
refused to so through the pasture at
all. Her husband calmed her fears to
some extent, and they started by, when
the COW slowly commenced to get up,
hind legs first, as they always do. AT
this the little lady shrieked with terror
and said;
"Oh, Bob, hurry, hurry He Is get

known trap shooter, shot and killed his
wife on an outgoing train last night
Then he jumped from the car and took
his own life a few minutes later. Mrs.

prepare to die" and then fired both bar
rels at her with fatal precision
Leaving the car Nethaway went to a
local grain office, drawing a revolver to
keep the gathering crowd at safe dis
lance. In the Office he kept the grain
dealer Clarence Salter, and a companion
under cover while he stepped to a tele-
phone to call up his mother. Over the
telephone he told her of the double trag-
edy he was carrying out, gave her a few
instructions and begged kind treatment
for his little daughter, who is in con-
vent at West Point, Neb.
My only regret said Nethaway, turn
ing to the grain man, sis that did not
kill Senator Allen,'' referring to former
United States Senator William V. Allen,

NethaWay then placed himself on the
floor, pillowed his head on an old sack
and sent bullet through his brain. He

President about the railroad laws enacted
by the Alabama legislature. The Alabama
governor is hot under the collar because
Judge Jones of the federal court enjoined
the state from enforcing its laws, on the
ground that they were confiscatory. The
governor claims that the laws should have
been given trial before any determine
ton was reached as to whether they were
satisfactory. He declares that they are
not confiscatory, and that the same laws
are in existence in many other states.

REALLY A GREAT LADY.
Tribute to Life and Character Of Lady
Burdett-Coutts.

Lady Burdett-Coutts was one OF the
very few women who in restless,
chattering society knew how to talk
and to listen, says an English writer.
To know her was a liberal education.
The daughter Of Sir Francis Burdett
had naturally seen and conversed with
the giants Of the roform-bill days and
met everybody worth meeting tor so
years. Her memory was SO good, her
sympathy SO universal and her man
ner Of expression SO happy that con-
versation with Lady Burdett-Coutts
was like reading a delightful chapter
of memoirs A young member Of
parliament once asked her what was
the meaning Of the expression which
he had come across in Disraelrs
novels that members used to dine
out in their boots" 1T MEANS" said
the old lady, with her exquisite cour-
tesy, that they used to dine away
from the house and dine with me
without dressing, as | hope you win
do whenever you can" Judged by
modern standards erected by German
and American millionaires Lady Bur
dett-Coutts vas not SO very rich, but,
then, in proportion to her means she
gave away ten times as much.
