WIVES IN KOREA.
A Humorst Who Draws a Moral From
Their Silence.

A Humorst Who Draws a Moral From
Their Silence.
II Is said that In Korea after a ma
tive woman is welded she becomes
practically speeches., says Newton
Newklrk In the Boston Post. This r.
In conformity to custom and caste,
A Korean wife does not after mar.
riage become absolutely mute, but
she does not speak unless necessl'
~ demands It. And by the way,
II none OF US talked any more
than necessity demanded this world
would be full Of large chunks OF ST.
lence. The Korean wife does not chat
ter like a parrakeet Hot air Is some
thing In which she does not deal or
course II the house got on fire she
would mention it, or IL she were to
step on n snake she wouldn't try to
keep the fact secret, but she does not
talk over the back fence when she Is
bringing in the wash or converse with
her neighbor when she Is washing the
windows. II she did, she would lose
her caste and her social rating would
slump faster than copper stock.
Probably many a brutal husband
who reads these lines will sigh and
say, "Ah, that my wife were a 10
rean!' There has an impression got
abroad FL this land OF the free and the
home of the CRATER that our women
are endless and tiresome takers. In
the eyes Of the masses the American
wife holds the long distance record as
continuous conversatlonalist. And
upon this impression jests and jokelets
are freely built The eternally talking
wife is a prolific source OF inspiration
for comic weeklies and the vaudeville
stage. Two comedians come down
front and, with their noses touching
each other, engage In a rapid fire con-
versatlon:

ooh. you got talking machine down

But II the wife is voluble Of speech
Is her husband a sphinx II a woman
is a human photograph, is a man a
clam? Not exactly-not 30 that you
could notice 1t from the road through
the binoculars. Most OF the husbands
who like to joke about the wagginl
tongues OF their wives are living ex
Founders Of the hot air theory. They
are the chaps who have nothing to say
and devote most Of their time to say
ing it; they are fHlf OF persifage, yer

II is probable that penguins pair for
life, although nothing definite is known
on the subject When mates are cho
sen the process Is as interesting as It IL
striking. As Is the Cass with so many
creatures, the males fight with each
other for the females, might being
right in the penguin code The birds
have regular lighting places, and one
such battle-ground was found under
an overhanging ledge. The results OF
innumeTabe encounters were present
in the shape OF great quantities OF
loose feathers surrounding the little
lighting ring, which itself was clear OF
all debris. Although the beak OF pen.
gum is 40 formidable a weapon when
used on thin skinned enemies, yet their
own skin and blubber are so resistant
that they can inilct no injury by this
means. The customary mode OF fight
ing is really kind OF boxing, or dip.
pering," II might be called The two
combatants proceed to the lighting
place and then walk cautiously about
each other, jockeylng for an opening
and ready to take instant advantage OF
n false step or move on the part OF the
opponent. All, however, is solemn and
decorous, consistent with the rest OF
the life of these strange little beings.
When at last each secures good
grip on the neck or body OF the oppo.
nent the real fighting begins. As nine.
tenths Of the life Of pcnguins is spent
on the open sea, where they pursue
and capture fish, swimming with great
swlftness by strokes OF the fipperlke
wings, II can well be imagined that
the strength OF their wings Is very
great, and when the two fighters begin
70 belabor each other with rapidly vi
brating clipper strokes each resoundlng
whack must make a considerable Inn
preston even on the protecting coat OF
blubber fat. No one has ever recorded
the finish Of such an encounter, but II
is not probable that they result fatally.
The weaker or the two must soon sue
cumb under such severe punishment
and yield the field and the fair penguin
mate to his stronger rival. The
strength OF the wing strokes can be
tested by allowing penguin to take
hold Of ones coat sleeves or, better,
the back Of the hand. The third or
fourth stroke will draw blood, and one
is soon fully satisfied as TO the pen.

II Was Nearly q Mile In Length and

From an ironmaker's point Of view
the greatest achievement during the
Revolutionary period was the making
Of the great West Point chain. This
massive chain, which has probably
never had an equal since the first ham
mer struck upon the first anvil, was
stretched across the Hudson river at
West Point to prevent the British feet
from making a second attack upon
Kingston and Albany. II was nearly
a mile in length and weighed almost
200 tons, many single links being as
heavy as an ordinary sized man, TO
complete It in six weeks sixty men
hammered day and night at seventeen

at 100000. "The great chain is buoy
ed up" writes DR.. TEACHER, "by very
large logs. pointed at the ends TO less
en- their opposition TO the force Of the
current. The logs are placed at short
distances from each other, the chain
carried over them and made fast to
each by staples. There are also
number Of anchors dropped at proper
distances, with cables made fast to
the chain, to give It greater stability"
No British ship passed this iron bar

the strongest military post in America
so strong that treachery was tried
where force Of arms had failed. When

All the city travelling public loves a

Of how Frank Vanderlip, the banker,
got his start has an almost universal
appeal II happened when Vanderllp
was a reporter on a Chicago newsph-
per and writing financial news. The
traction situation then, as now, was al
most impossible. Charles T. Yerkes
was traction dictator, and the stock
holders and the public never had a
word to say in the conduct Of the
roads. Nor could they get any definite
idea OF the financial condition OF the
properties
The time for the annual meeting Of
the stockholders of the principal road
came along. At all the meetings Mr..
Yerkes had ratified off the reports In
the usual undecipherable corporation
way, and no one knew what was do.
ing. So Vanderlip planned a coup.
He bought a share of stock, which
admitted him to the meeting, He had
been a stenographer before he became
a newspaper man. When Mr.. Yerkes
sailed into his breezy explanation Of
finances the young reporter took down
everything he said Mr.. Yerkes used
one striking phrase, and It was this:
"The passengers who have seats pay
the operating expenses. but the strap
hangers pay your dividends"
The next day the sentence topped
vanderip's account Of the meeting.

SANGER IS
RECOVERING
But Mystery Of Strange Seizure
Which OVGTCama Him is
still Unexplained

James Sanger, the victim OF the
strange seizure or drugging, day be-
fore yesterday. is slowly recovering
and may be able TO explain the cir
cumstances of the seizure that over
came him. All day yesterday he was
in an almost unconscious condition
as II he were still under the influ-
ence Of some powerful drug, lie is
not wholly conscious yet but is grad
ually regaining control OF himself.
James Sanger Is the brother OF
Charles w. Sanger, the real estate
man of this city, He is here from
Tulsa, okla, and has been down into
New Mexico to file on claim, Day
before yesterday he visited his other
brother who lives on place north
east Of Amarillo and in the evening
started back to town. Then some
where on the road back something
happened which threw him into the
strange state In which I. Mantz, the
st, Francis townsite man, found him
Il few hours later,
Mr., Mantz and a companion were
driving back to Amarillo after a visit
to their place on the Panhandle
Amarillo cutoff and passed Sanger's
rig and a buggy containing three
other men, none Of whom were
known to Mr. Mantz. At that time
Sanger was standing in the road talk
ing to the men and Mantz noticed
nothing unusual about their actions,
ASer Mantz had driven on a short
distance, they heard the man who
they alterward found to be Sanger
come yelling along behind them driv-
ing his horse at run. His actions
were those of a drunken man and
Mantz saw that he was in no condi-
ton to handle his horse. SO Mant2
and his companion took charge OF
Sanger, whom they still thought ia
be drunk. and brought him and his
team into town. BY the time the
party reached town Sanger had sunk
into a deep stupor, City Physician
Shirley was called and a little later
when the Identity Of the man was
discovered and Charles Sanger took
charge Of his brother.
Mr.. Sanger, however. could give
no light on the matter and can give
none yet. His brother Is a man OF
sound health and good physique and
has never been subject to seizures OF
any kind. He is a man OF habtually
temperate habits so the intoxicatior
theory was completely wrong, The
mans later condition, however
showed that he was not intoxicated
at the time Mr.. Mantz found him and
that the attack was due to some more
serious cause, but the exact nature
cannot yet be ascertained
