Very black is the picture of Kongo
life drawn hv e. d. Morel. He
says: "Out there In the forest, the

the vines are ever more difficult to

Something Like Jumping.

The best story of horses Jumps
which comes II mind is that of a
California cowboy. He was taking
steers to Leadville, and had camped
for the night on Beaver River near
its junction with the Little Snake.
In the middle of the night something
occurred to stampede the cattle.
The man mounted his bronco and
rode hither and thither on the flank
Of the herd until their fright had
died away. Four or five times the
rider felt his horse give tremendous
leaps, and with daybreak he discov-
cred the cause.
The cattle had climbed to a level
plateau which is intersected by q
canon four miles long and from
fifteen hundred to two thousand feet
deep. Its walls incline toward each
other at the top, where the distance
Is fifteen or twenty feet In riding
the man had kept the steers circing
about the plateau. A dozen Of them
he found had fallen down the canon
and been killed.
Hoof marks showed him that the
great jumps made by his horse were
occasioned by the animals clearing
the canon each time 1t came to the
taking spot.-London Strand;

Buying Land in Corca.

Land buying in Corea is a process
which calls for both time and pa
uence. A japanese Investigator
who has been making Inquiries on
the subject has found that the price
at which land may be procured
differs greatly with the skill OF the
purchaser. Any hasty attempt to
buy hurts the feelings of the owner
and creates opposition.
The best plan is to select the dis
trfct on which ones fancy rests and
either settle quietly down there or
send an agent to do so instead,
letting It be known, in a general sort
OF way, that one is disposed to buy.
Then the Coreans, who class trans
actions in land in the same category
with the sale or purchase Of movable
chattels-that is to say, as d mere
means OF procuring or spending
money-will OF themselves come and
offer to sell.
Then, by the exercise of a little
patience. a considerable tract may
be very cheaply acquired In q few
years.

In one of the old families of Charles

was an important parsonage, Jack,
the butler. Jack disputed with anoth-

Henry lizard, the reputation of being
the best and most thoroughly trained
servant in the town.
On one occasion he was much an

remained deaf; at the second he bent
down and whispered into the Sena-

The genial gentleman nodded and
suppressed a laugh; but when the

Into a roar and cried; Judge, you

DO YOU WANT TO
Be A WALL-FLOWER
The Title of a Dancing Pam
phIet Issued by Mrs.
Charles koIp.
INVENTS A NEW DEVICE
THROUGH WHICH PEOPLE DE-
STRING TO DO so, MAY TEACH
THEMSELVES HOW TO DANCE
IN PRIVACY OF HOMES.

DO you want to be wall flower"
This apparently pertinent question IS
to be found on the cover Of little
pamphlet, Mrs. Charles Kolp of this
city, is sending broadcast through the
mails announcing the fact that she has
been granted a patent and copyright on
device worked out by herself to teach
dancing without the aid of an instruc-
tor.
Mrs kolp has been a dancing in
structor in this city for the past sixteen
years and in this capacity she has
taught the gentle art to hundreds Of
Richmond young people, She has
made wide reputation for herself in
this line of work and her latest Ven
ture promises to be a great success.
She has prepared charts for educat-
ing people in the various movements
Of the waltz, two step and other
dances. They are simple, but COM
prehensive and the dulest student can
| master the dance by these charts in a
comparatively easy manner From
various parts of the country Mrs Kolp
has already received orders for charts,
notwithstanding the fact that she has
not yet put them on the market.
With these charts go a clever little
booklet, prepared by Mrs. Kolp, enti-
tied What to do and what not to do
in polite society" The frontispiece IL
lustration is a most artistic and beau
tiful wash drawing by Mrs. Maud Kauf-
man Eggemeyer one of Richmond's
most talented artists. This little il
lustration shows the correct attitude
for a man and woman to assume while
dancing.
| In this booklet Mrs. kolp takes the
following hard rap at the chewing gum
trust:
The chewing of gum is never per
! missible at any form of entertainment,
and especially on a ball room floor. 1t
seems hardly necessary to dwell upon
this subject, and it is with many apollo
gies / speak of it. but it certainly is
not INDUCED in by the best people, ami
the habit has lost many man and wo-
man place in society they might 9TH
| erwise have occupied
Mrs Kolp offers the following tips
| which are timely;
Be manly. Be womanly.
Make others happy by being happy.
Be kind and considerate of others
feelings. This is true politeness.''
Do not be afraid to apologize Or ask
to be excused Cultivate a low tone of
voice.
Neither talk to much nor too little.
A good listener, in this day and age is
| to be envied.
Be prompt in keeping all engage
ments. Make no promises you can
| not fulfill. Be true to yourself and you
will then be true to your friends.

Leaving aside the question of the value of a useless life to the earth on which 1t was lived, she might well ask whether such really is the case; whether the so-cailed Header of so- ciety'' is not as hard worked a is she herself.
 Ar a matter of fact, the social but terny Is the sreatest of workers. Not one day, one hour. nor one minute can she call her soul her own. She must fly at a nerve-racking pace rom one amusement" to anotheri sne must be, sweetnesst Ass3lsto people she detests; she must overcome in many cases her own natural tnchnA- tions for the sake of the world for which she lives. She must live otten beyond her income to keep up ap- nearances," and has always before her the dread of poverty-stricken and ds- pendent old age. .
 Add to all this the thought that eil her labor produces nothing. adds not one iota to the sum of human ao- vancement or happiness. and one may well decide that in reality the op- scure breadwinner or housewife IS far more to be envied than she to whose balls the papers devote tWo columns of space, and whose new gowns are events in the social world.

Women as Photographers

TT SEEMS strange that so few women
 succeed as photographers. for women l prefer to go to their own sex to bs photographed rather than to an obvt- ousiy professional man. whose attsn- tions remind them uncomfortably oe those of a dentist.
 The trouble with the feminine photog. rapher is that she endeavors to Do too artistic, at the expense of the wtshes of her patrons. People get their pic- lures taken because they desire nke- ness. and they do not relish an irn- pressionistic portrait vanishing into the shadow. Furthermore. she disregards her subjects individuality. She should first of all try to find out how they imagine they look-a very different thing from their actual appearance and then strive to attain that ideal She must somehow make nervous, di. sheveled, unattractive woman miracie of charm. and all without such gross fattery as to cause suspicion.
 None of the other feminine arts will come amiss in her makeup. She must know just what clothes and what alter ations in the dress will work the trans- formation, and she must in a way play the hostess and put her subject at her ease.
 It is difficult art. but those who do succeed lind that in every way they are repaid for the trouble 1t took them to reach their present status. And the best of all is that the overly esthetic photographer will find that by suppress ing her early artistic tendencies she has arrived at that true art which is only expressed in simplicity add natu-
