GHOSTS DAMNED IN KOREA.
Runaway Spooks Who Menace the Living Restrained by Earthworks.

Runaway SpOoks Who Menace the
 Living Restrained by Earthworks.
 In this age of spooks and disem bodied influences that whirl and gib. Der about the heads of unseeing nor tals In fioeks, instructive light upon the care and culture of spirits may be gained from the Koreans. These people dam up the walls of their tombs SC that the spirit of the dead may not run down hill and thus become a terrible menace to the living.
 A Korean chooses always for the site of tomb some steep hillside, high above the floor of the valley, that the imps of darkness coming up through the middle of the earth may have a hard climb uphill after they reach the burial place of the deceased.
 The tomb closely resembles a saucer with the cup inverted and set down in Its middle. The edges of the saucer. like dike about the central circular mound are raised sometimes to the height of four or five feet and care fully turfed so as to resist the washing effect of the winter rains. Thus the spirit of the deceased, buried deep un. der the central mound, Is effectually damned In and mewed up by the en- circling wall of earth.
 If by chance during flood time the retaining wall of the tomb should give way and be carried down hill the faith. ful Korean son or brother of the de ceased hurries out with his wooden spade and rebuilds the dam as speed lily as possible. He fears lest the rest less spirit within the tomb should be washed down hill with the earth and then the lives of all the living kin would be forever blighted. For noth- ing Is so horrible In Korea as a spirit that has escaped Its tomb and wanders in vengeful mood about the habita- uons of tbe living.

The picture illustrates a not unfa- millar sight In Southern California, where vegetation of all kinds makes . wonderful growth in single season. This particular pumpkin vine grew along the roadside near Los Angeles and completely covered the trunk and remaining branches of a dead tree, ex- tending to height of about twenty feet It was pretty sight during the blossoming period, and later, when the golden fruit hung from the branches, 1t was even more beautiful.

We are In the Philippines. Are we going to stay there? If yes, then It Is time to fix for it. It is foolish always to play the ostrich. There Is one way to fix" and that Is to make the sal lent points of the islands impregnable against any force an enemy can bring against them or any one of them and create a navy that can drive an enemy from the archipelago. 4 very religious general admonished his army: Trust In God, but keep your powder dry" Cromwell had little doubt that as be- tween an army with dry powder and one with wet God would be on the side of the former. There is not much piety In that reflection, but there is an abundance of logic in 1t.

New light on conditions in China was shed by some recent remarks of Bishop Bashford, a missionary to that coun- try. He said that for the last three years a million copies of the Bible have been sold annually to the Chinese; that the Bible and the book of ConfucIus are taught together in schools all over the empire; and an imperial decree re- quires the people to observe Sunday. ''There has been nothing like it." said the bishop, since Constantine adopted Christianity In Rome" He said also that China today Is where Japan was fifteen or twenty years ago. and that the Chinese are awakening rIpldly. He called them the Anglo-Saxons of the Orient, and 2eclarsa that they are

A woman's Tongue Never Slips.

 "No; now I come to think of It. I never did"
 'They are very rare," said the physi. clan. q think 1t Is safe to say that the average person passes through life without ever meeting a stuttering woman.
 There are two reasons for this. First, woman naturally-I don't know why-is less liable to the disease of stammering than man. Second, If she develops this disease, she sets out with the determination to cure herself, and she succeeds; whereas, careless man. rather than take the trouble of a cure, will go stammering on to the end."- St Louis Globe-Democrat

Then he called sharply to the old horse and the light wagon went clat- tering along the dusty highway. Pres ently he stopped with a quick word and sudden pull, and leaping to the ground dashed into the ditch at the side of the road. A light touring car had yeered from the highway and two of the wheels had gone over the edge. The driver was lying In the ditch face down. He had been unseated when the car careened and thrown forward, and he had fall en heavily amid the grass and weeds that half filled the dry course of the little stream. The boy turned him over with strong, yet gentle effort and as he did so the mans eyes opened. He stared at the boy for a brief moment, then closed his eyes again. Cant be time to get up yet" he muttered. The boy regarded him closely and ran his hand over the strangers head. Then with stout arm he raised him to a sitting posture and held him there.
 Here, slr," he sharply cried, Hook at me-" The stranger unclosed his eyes again. Then he passed one of his hands across his forehead.
 How are you to-dayI" he asked In c wayering voice.
 Pretty we'll" replied the boy. And how are you?"
 "I'd be all right the stranger mur- mured. If 1t wasn't for this wretched headache" And he stroked his fore head again. If you can contriye to sit up for minute or So I'll get some water and bathe your head.' The man shook his head. Then he winced suddenly as If the shaking hurt him.
 You mustn't do that" he said to the boy. Then he added, Where have we met beforeT "I don't know" said the boy.
 'It would be easy to remember" said the stranger, "if the effort didn't hurt my poor head. An, I have It! You are young Benjamin Franklin !"
 Am r." "Yes, yes, you have been walking the streets of Philadelphia with a loaf of bread under your arm. You're a fine lad"
 I'm going to get you on your feet" said the boy, "and help you over to the little pool yonder, and there you can bathe your head"
 Its much pleasanter here" said the stranger. What have you done with the loaf of bread?
 That's put away safely" replied the boy. Come, now, you must help me a little"
 With a fine display of strength he lifted the stranger to his feet and held him there swaying.
 "No bones broken, I guess," said the boy. Come, sir, here we go." "Ben1amln," said the stranger, "where am IT?
 "I'll explain all that a little later," the boy replied.
 "very we'll" murmured the man. -All in good time. Whatever you say will be accepted with Implicit conn- dence. You are both wise and honest, you know. What's that"
 That's your automobile, sir"
 The stranger rubbed his hand across his eyes.
 Curious delusIon," he muttered. "Does it seem 6 little lopsided?"
 Tt does," the boy replied. "This way. sir."
 He drew the stranger along until they came to a little pool that was formed by a spring that bubbled up from a rocky ledge. The boy seated his charge on a huge fragment of stone and then dipped his handkerchief

A ROSE SONG.

A little bud was l
 Upon the vine, alone; felt the breeze go by, Across the garden blown;
 And once as morning came A poet called my name 4 scrap of winged sky
 Sang Rose, be thou mine own l This merry heart of mine With sudden rapture stirred; danced upon the vine Until the sun was blurred; And dancing in the dew
 A crimson rose 1 grew, o take me, love. for thine! told my poet bird. Dear lady, on whose breast It is my bliss to be Another Roses guest,
 Loves lesson learn of me.

 My red lips can impart The tender truth he pressed One kiss will set it free
