A Remarkable Sword.
s y K y s. s. s. - IS 81 s. * x

1.-The armor of Corean gentleman
Of the sixteenth century was indeed
wonderful" says Burton Holmes, the
globe trotter. ut was while dining
at the house of prominent official
at Seoul that heard the following
story relative to its merits:
after dinner my host led the way
to a large room. which was filled
with ancient armor of Corea and Chi
ma. Pixies, swords and cutlasses of
every description were there. many
pieces of which were centuries old.
Picking up one extremely odd sword,
the handle of which was long enough
for one to grasp with both hands, he
explained that 1t was the weapon of
a Corean gentleman of the sixteenth
century.
1T was indeed truly wonderful
explain, the gentlemen of this period
were extremely proud of their swords
and their ability to WELD them. Why
said my host, almost any Corean can
tell you the legend of the two gentle
men who, while walking. were dis
cussing the relative merits of their
swords. when one of them. who had
become heated during the conversa-
ton. raised his sword high above his
head and swung it with such rapidity,
accuracy and force that he cut COM
pletely in two a coolie who happened
to be passing
"That he proved his skill and the
temper of his steel will be seen, for,
as the story has it, the blow was so
dexterously struck and the sword 50
keen that the coolie, entirely una
ware of what had happened, contin-
ued his walk down the street, and it
was not until he attempted to turn
a corner that he discovered he was
cut. for in turning the corner he fell
apart"
Mr.. Holmes says, from appearances,
one would almost believe the sword
capable of performing this feat.

England and Airships.

Colonel ]. E. Capper. who is in
commend of the balloon section at
Aldershot, England. is quoted as say
ing that "the British government for
many months past has been making
experiments with view to a posi-
BILE aerial war. and arrangements are
already in progress for the formation
of a home and attacking fleet of air.
ships. Between 400 and 500 men are
being trained for service in Britain's
future aerial fleet. This aerial force
will consist of balloons, kites and aer-
oplanes."
He adds: Gan aerial section to our
army is not the mere hobby of am
bilious inventors, but is an absolute
necessity If we are to continue to hold
the same position in the world which
we do now. If once the British peo-
pie really wake up and take an in
telligent and businesslike interest in
flying machines we shall make great
strides toward solving the aerial prob
lem and toward the construction Of
an aerial branch to our flying forces.
II do not wish to phophesy. but in
the future-perhaps some twenty
years hence-airships will be so COM
mon that there will be legislation for
them in the same way as. there is
now for motor cars and other road
traffic. "-ChicagO News.

KELSEY PARTY WAS
TAKEN FOR BAD
BURGLARS
Bulls Eye Lantern Cause of
Trouble at Farm House
Near Fisher.

W. H. Kelsey, S. d. Felsing. C. NJ.
Loring and Mr.. Rogers. the latter from
Greenbush, had an experience yester-
day which they will not forget for
some time to come as all were brand
ed as burglars by number of farm
ers and farmers wives and daughters,
says the Crookston Journal
Yesterday afternoon at O'Clock
they left Crookston for Grand Forks
and from there went twelve miles
west to attend to some business mat
tiers. Returning they did not arrive
by hangs tale.
They came back from Grand Forks
by the south route and when about a
mile and half south of Fisher they
ran out OF cylinder oil. Nearing farm
house two of the party went to get
some more oil while Mr.. Felsing was
left to watch the machine. Mr.. Lor-
ing had bulls eye lantern and while
Mr.. Kelsey raped at the door he
stood by window. After humping
for some time lady appeared and
when the bulls eye was turned on
she was frightened to death and a
night gown vanishing through door
was the last seen. No further answer
could be gained there.
Another farm house located about
quarter of mile from the roadway
was visited and there was more pound
ing at the door. Mr.. Kelsey begged
Mr.. Loring to save the reputation of
the party by concealing the bulls eye
lantern but the latter was obdurate.
After much pounding a lady raised the
window in the second story and asked
what was wanted. 1t was explained
and she stated that there might be
some in the blacksmith shop. This was
visited but no oil found. Mr.. Rogers
saw threshing rig and poking about
found a jug. full of oil. The party
returned to the house and after yell
ing and pounding the window came
up again and woman's head was
stuck out. She was told that oil had
been found and was asked how much
it would be.
Nothing, nothing. only get off the
place
At this Mr. Loring was again chided
for representing a burglar and de-
posting SO cents on the door step the
party returned to the auto, oiled up
and managed to get back to the city.
