Seoul, Korea.-To get close to the
actual facts of missionary work
In any country, as well as of the true
political and social conditions. it is
necessary to move out from the CAPT.
tai or port cities and to sojourn for a
time in rural parts. So l have been
out seeing the real Korea. itinerating
among country villages where there
are churches. and in the meantime
seeing at first hand what is said to be
the most picturesque people in the
orient. The how" of missionary
work in this country may be set forth
by recital OF this concrete expert
ence.
Sometimes the missionary on tour
puts his outfit on little Korean pony
and then. mounting on top of it,
rides. At other times he walks. Wo-
men missionaries often travel in
chairs, borne by coolies. In the pres
ent instance we walked, and two
coolies carried our packs containing
folding cots. bedding, food and cook

most white persons to subsist in
health upon the Korean diet of rice
and picked vegetables. AS to the
matter of sleeping-more Of that

The Orient Which Changes Not.
A pedestrian tour through rural
Korea is better worth while than the
same amount OF time spent in Seoul.

five hours over the narrow paths be-

roads in Korea; they are the way

The Koreans have a ponderous two
wheeled oX-cart which they claim was
the original wheeled vehicle Unlike
Japan, where only a hand plow is
used. the Koreans cultivate their
fields with oxen. The last of the rice
crop had been gathered and the
threshing floors of the farm houses in
the villages were buoy places. There
are no solitary farm houses in this
country: the farmers live in villages
and go out to their fields early in the
morning.
The Missionary with Gun.
In many of the villages through
which we passed, churches are estab-
lished; and occasionally we stopped
to speak TO some native Christian.
The "Moksa,' or missionary. is a per.
son of distinction. and his passage an
event. OF course, all speech is in
Korean; there Is no such widespread
knowledge of English as in Japan.
AS we traversed the country side
the absence Of the shrines and idols
that mark every Japanese highway
was noticeable. Now and then we
saw a neglected booth, erected for the
Precipitation Of some evil spirit. At q

WAITING FOR THE FUN.
Youngster Had Reason to Expect
Something Would Happen"

An old gentleman, rather portly and
clad in somewhat youthful suit OF
light gray flannel. sat on a bench in
the park enjoying the day, relates the
Woman's Home Companion.
What's the matter, sonny?" he
asked small urchin who lay on the
grass just across the wax and stared
intently. why don't you go and
play?"
Don't wanter." the boy replied.
But it is not natural" the old gen.
