team TO a standstill Saturday after
noon at the Michigan City grounds. the
score standing at the end OF forty min
utes OF the hardest of grueling. a goose
egg for each side. And that tells the
tale OF the relative strength OF the two
teams. They were as evenly matched
as 1t would be possible for two teams
to be, but II II would be necessary to
narrow it down to a choice the Ham
mond team should be given the pref
erence. They were within eight yards
of their opponents goal at the close of
the last half and only the blowing of
the referees whistle saved them from
defeat
The Hammond boys showed that they
have championship material and will
be a big factor in the race for the
high honors OF the northern section OF
the state Michigan City being one OF
the strongest in this section OF the
state this season. 1t shows well what

Seoul. Korea. Outside of one
or two minor states in Africa,
there is probably no mission field
where Christianity is accorded so
great a degree of royal favor as In
Korea. From the beginning of the
opening of Korea to the world, lit
tie more than 20 years ago, until the
present time, the closest friends OF
the emperor, to whom he has turned
in every crisis, have been the Ameri-
can missionaries. He is not yet q
Christian, although he reads the
Bible and has received some instruc-
ton in Christianity. In attendance
upon the Seoul churches to-day may
be found members of the royal fam
fly, as well as leaders of the nobil-
fly.
This is one of the remarkable facts
about the recent phenomenal reli-
gious history of this country. While
enjoying the favor of the court to
marked degree, the missionaries have
yet devoted themselves chiefly to
work among the plain people. The
latter have been converted by thou
sands-the number of actual commu-
nicants, and not merely adherents, is
now given as about 50,OO0-and gradu-
ally Christianity has worked from the
bottom up, until to-day all of Korea
seems favorable and hospitable to-
ward it.
When interviewing the man who
had been indicated to me by natives,
Japanese officials and missionaries as
probably the greatest living Korean,
he said, speaking of the growth of
Christianity and Christian schools,
The only lights In Korea's black
sky are the churches" The opinion
widely prevails that the real trans.
formation of Korea will be effected,

USED BY THE DOCTORS.
Ninety Per Cent of the Drugs Pre-
sCribed Are Patent Medicines.

I'espite the opposition of physicians,
especially Of those whose experience
has been neither far reaching nor
profitable, to patent" medicines, nine
ty per cent of all drugs that physi-
clans use are put up and compounded
by manufacturing Commensurate, in
fact, patent" medicines just as truly
as if they were advertised in the
newspapers.
The average doctor knows little or
nothing Of pharmacy and is, there
fore, glad to depend on the very medi-
cines, which in public he condemns,
just as he is obliged in many cases
to depend on the diagnosis of the pa
tient himself, even while publicly de-
crying what he calls "self-diagnosis."
How rapid has been the growth Of the
professional use of patent" or PRO
prietary" medicines is shown in an
article written for the Journal of the
American Medical Association for
September 20, 1906, by A. jacob, M.
D., LII. D. He relates that $4,000 pre-
scriptions, compounded in several
drug stores were carefully examined.
From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was
found for patent" or proprietary"
medicines. In 1874 but one prescrip-
ton in $500 called for ready-to-use
remedies. Between 1875 and 1880 the
number calling for patent" or "pro-
prietary" medicines equalled two per
cent Of the total This increased to
per cent in the period between 1880
and 1890. In 1895 it was II per cent,
in 1898 it was Is per cent, and In 1902
1903 was from 20 to rs per cent.
DR.. jacob says that in a large
store he was assured that 20 per cent
of the prescriptions were for patent"
or proprietary" medicines, and this
probably is approximately the correct
proportion at the present time. From
this it would seem that If the patent"
and proprietary" medicines are good
enough for physicians to prescribe in
seven cases out of ten they are good
enough for family use in cases OF
necessity and where the symptoms
are well known and as easily under
stood by the people as by the doc

FINALLY RousEp UP UNCLE.
How Crowd of Villagers Stirred the
Sage of the Cracker Barrel.

There was the usual crowd OF VII
layers sitting on the postoffice steps
waiting for the mail to be distrib-
uted, and among them was Uncle
John. He had joined the sitters with
out saying word, and at the end OF
fifteen minutes one of the men Wlnked
at the crowd and said:
well, Uncle John, have you heard
about the big earthquake in Vermont,
with 10000 people killed."
Uncle John looked at him In
weary way and shook his head.
And the cyclone in Connecticut yes
terday and 500 houses blowndown?"
continued the man.
Uncle John yawned and was not
the least interested.
''The Ohio river rose 200 feet OF
sudden the other day and carried the
city of Cincinnati down stream. Tens
of thousands of people lost their lives.
Any of your relatives down there,
Uncle John?"
The old man slowly shook his head
and reached down to pick up a silver
and pick his teeth with it.
"And the whole state of Pennsyl-
vania is caving in," said the joker,
"and by tomorrow there will be
great lake where 100000 or 100000
people have lived"
Uncle John took the news without
word. In fact, he yawned and
stretched over it.
"2y thunder, but there goes rat
under that pile of lumber across the
street." exclaimed the joker as he
rose up. "Say, you fellers-"
But he got no further. Uncle John
was across the street and had a club
in his hand, and within the next ten
minutes he had done half days
work tearing down the pile to get at
the rat. He had been aroused at
last.-Kansas City Journal.

books; and his ambition is to turn
out set of competent native physi
clans who can, with the literature
thus at their command, build up a
Korean modern medical profession
along up-to-date lines. With such an
ambition as this, man is not to be
blamed for working far into the
night, as DR.. Avison does.
Government Support for the Y. M.
c. A.
Conspicuous among the religious
enterprises of Seoul is the Young
Mems Christian association, which is
at present housed in some little old
Korean buildings, but which is about
to break ground for the erection of
modern structure, the gift of John
Wanamaker, of Philadelphia. The as
sociation has 800 members, including
more than so members of the highest
rank of Korean nobility. The emper-
ors nephew teaches a Bible class in
the association. Twice the emperor
has given subscriptions to the organ
ization, and the Japanese continue
to give, from the Korean funds, an
annual subscription of $4,000.
The avidity with which Korean
young men turn to the Y. M. G. A.
would indicate, even to superficial
observer, that conditions here are ex-
traordinary. The fact is, the young
Korean, who has been sitting on his
heels for centuries, in self-satisfied
idleness, and an ignorance inconceiv-
able to a westerner, is being rudely
awakened He is beginning to realize
that his head and his hands must be
trained, and that he must learn how
to hustle So the educational classes
of the Y. NJ G. A.. which are chiefly
industrial and commercial, are over
