the Koreans have a ponderous two
wheeled oX-cart which they claim was
the original wheeled vehicle. Unlike
Japan, where only a hand pillow is
used, the Koreans cultivate their
fields with oxen. The last of the rice
crop had been gathered and the
threshing floors of the farm houses in
the villages were busy places. There
are no solitary farm houses in this
country; the farmers live in villages
and go out to their fields early in the
morning.
The Missionary with Gun.
In many of the villages through
which we passed, churches are estab-
lished; and occasionally we stopped
The "Moksa," or missionary, is per-
son of distinction, and his passage an
event OF course, all speech is in
Korean; there is no such widespread
knowledge of English as in Japan.
AS we traversed the countryside
the absence of the shrines and idols
that mark every Japanese highway
was noticeable. Now and then we
cav a neglected booth, erected for the
Precipitation of some evil spirit. At
pass in the mountains we came to
tree with stones heaped around it; it
supposedly embodied an evil spirit,
and every traveller casts a stone at it.
The hillsides are covered with grave
mounds, regarded as sacred, and be-
fore some of these are tablets, now
and then sculptured crudely,, into hui
man form. Broadly speaking, how
ever, Korea may be regarded as
country without religion.
The country itself is beautiful,
largely mountainous, but with fertile
valleys. There are many wild fowl,
geese, ducks and pheasants, and it is
quite usual for the itinerant mission
airy to carry a gun to provide the
meat for his meals. In the interior
the missionary occasionally bags a
deer or wild boar; and there is al.
ways the possibility of meeting a
tiger. Some missionaries, who are
hundred miles from a beefsteak, eat
pheasant three times day because
they cannot afford bacon or ham.
From Fifth Avenue to Korea.
After 15-mile tramp, we reached
at dusk the village which was our
destination. The welcome that was
given to the missionary was really
beautiful to behold. Old men and
young, with little children in their
train, came forward with beaming
faces, and with the ancient salutation
of Peace" They caught the mission
ary's hands, squeezed his arm or af-
fectiOnately patted his shoulders.

Grams of Korea, but he is absent on a
furlough, and his duties have fallen
to Rev. Earnest F. Hall, young man
who was for several years assistant
pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terrain church, New York city. Mr..
Hall is still supported by the Fifth
Avenue church as it's representative
in Korea. Many times during the
days we were together I wondered
how often he thinks of the contrast
between Fifth Avenue congregations
and these Korean villagers, who, in
truth, personify the simple life.
The best room in one of the largest
farm houses in the village was made
ready for us by the easy process of
the family's tumbling out, since the
room was absolutely devoid of all fur
nishings except chest for best
ceiling, which was lofty one for
Korea, being seven or eight feet high,
hung various articles, such as a
cheese-shaped hat box. The entrance
to the room was through a paper-cov-
cred doorway four feet high by two
wide. There was a small window,
likewise of paper, on either side of
the room. The dimensions of the lat
ter were feet by -, so that the mis-
sionary congratulated himself on our
roomy quarters. Eight by eight is the
normal room.

Seoul, Korea-To get close to the
actual facts of missionary work
in any country, as well as of the true
political and social conditions, 1t Is
necessary to move out from the capt.
tai or port cities and to sojourn for
time in rural parts. So l have been
out seeing the real Korea, itinerating
among country villages where there
are churches, and in the meantime
seeing at first hand what is said to be
the most picturesque people in the
orient. The "how" of missionary
work in this country may be set forth
by a recital of this concrete expert
ence.
Sometimes the missionary on tour
puts his outfit on little Korean pony
and then, mounting on top of it,
rides. At other times he walks. Wo-
men missionaries often travel in
chairs, borne by coolies. In the pres
ent instance we walked, and two
coolies carried our packs containing
folding cots, bedding, food and cook
ing utensils. 1t is impossible for
most white persons to subsist in
health upon the Korean diet of rice
and picked vegetables. AS to the
matter of sleeping-more Of that

is commonly used in Korea) had re-
Gently sprung up, numbering ten fami-
lies. They had been visited each Sun
day by the Christians from our vii
lage and given instruction, but they
wanted the missionary to visit them
and establish catechumen class. Mr..
Halls program was too full on the
present tour to admit of this. In our
stopping place the elder further re-
ported, there were 40 candidates for
baptism to be examined. This par
ticular community illustrates the phe-
nomenal Christianization of this coun-
try, which is now less than a genera
ton removed from the rank heathen-
ism and seclusion which earned for
it the title of "The Hermit Nation."
The settlement comprises SO houses
and OF these 25 are Christian.
Practically the entire village turned
out for the evening service, most of
them carrying Bibles and hymn books.
The singing was led by the mission
airy, there being no organ. The con.
gregation is dependent upon his visits
for new tunes, though they retain with
surprising correctness the ones for
merly learned. Mr.. Hall also taught
the people, by having them repeat the
words after him, the first question and
answer of the Westminster Shorter
Catechism, which has lately been rem

GOSSIP.

Ted Everett, of Buffalo, who is man.
aging an amateur baseball team in
London, England, as summer pas
time, has written a letter to a friend,
telling how the great game Is mis-
played in dear old Lunnou. Part Of
the letter reads as follows: "Well, the
game over here is really strange, and
don't know just what to say about
1t. Americans make up most of the
teams in the British league, and you
would be surprised to see some or the
resident Americans who come out to
play. They are as regular as clock
work and play in all kinds OF weather.
The weather has been anything but
good for baseball, and this has given
most of us old horses stiff legs and
sore arms, and the teams with young
players have had somewhat the advan-
tage. Our team is composed mostly
of chaps older than myself, and you
know, after an illness of some years,
1t is no cinch to get out and run about
bases, throw balls, etc. They are try
ing to make the game popular over
here as a summer pastime. So few
Englishmen understand anything
about it that the best plays are not
generally wondered at. Close, snappy
games are not wanted. What the peo-
pie want is lots of hitting, plenty OF
running, and errors don't enter into
the thing at all. We played corking
good 6 to 5 game not long ago, and
the spectators didn't have any use for
1t at all. We had several good
catches, double plays and some really
good fielding, but all of this was
wasted on the yellow hammers. Fol-
lowing our game came the reserve
team, which ended with score some
thing like So to SO, filled with hard
hitting, all sorts of running and in

what to do with it."

When the first squad went into
training for the varsity crew this
year, one big freshman attracted
Courtney's notice. The boy had the
ideal spare, rugged, long-reached
frame of an oarsman and seemed alive
with enthusiasm. Courtney kept his
eye on him. When the lad was slow
on the recovery, too snappy on the
stroke, and persisted in bending his
back into a bow, the coach carefully
pointed out each falling. But to his
disgust these admonitions had no eff
feet but to make the big freshman's
form" worse and worse. He knew
absolutely nothing about rowing, and
could not be taught. At last in despair
Courtney asked:
"How Old are your"
Eighteen" answered the freshman
you must have been born more ig-
norant than most people, then"
growled Courtney. "You never could
have acquired all you don't know in
the few years you've lived"

in preventing smuggling in the towns

in tariff talk that the farmers have had
no benefit by protection laws. 1t has
only recently come true that any pro-
ducts of the farm are actually protected
and now, the Herald, which is a good

away that protection which has proven
a real protection, because it would favor

CITY FINANCES

The financial report of the city OF
Pembina as printed in this issue is of
considerable interest to our citizen tax
payers.
Probably the one item of greatest in
terest is that of the floating debt which
was mostly incurred in the building and
furnishing the new city hall, and buy
ing new fire engine at total cost of
$500. According to the report of one
year ago, there were outstanding war
rants to the amount of S3l51.92: by the
present report this amount has been re-
duced to sl623.4s. That is, besides
paying running expenses Of the city and
interest due, we have also paid off
s1528.44 of Indebtedness.
Warrants issued for the year amount
to sl635 which is practically the annual
cost of the running expenses of the city,
exclusive of interest.
OF the outstanding warrants, $1,000
is due for balance on city hall, and $3.50
for the last payment on fire engine.
The city hall has proven good in
vestment. While the city has the lower
story for fire apparatus and council
room ETC., as we'll as occasional use of
the main hall for public gatherings, all
of which is of considerable pecuniary
value, besides this, the hall has earned
in the year and ten months of its exist
ence little over $500 gross, in rentals,
and that with not more than half doz-
en- outside shows
The total tax levy for the next year is
S27O0 and with similar expenditures, we
should have our floating debt about
squared up by that time.
The city still owes $4,000 in bonded
debt which is over due, but it is intend
ed by the council to rebond next spring
at a lower rate of interest by borrowing
from the state.
Considering the public improvements
made during the past year and paid for
we think the showing should be very
satisfactory to the tax payers.
