straw Rome swinra

Korea is perhaps the oldest country
IN the world, and the customs and ac-
lions that go to make up the daily life
OF the people are not at all governed
by the logic or tradition which moves
us on our enlightened way. They have
no clearly regulated sports, nothing ap-
parently that could be llkened to a
national game. They pass most or
their recreation hours swinging I'm
straw rope swings and seem entirely
happy in the sport. The straw rope.
If well made, is extremely durable and
can stand considerable weight, as may
be judged when three ablebodied
young men impose their weight upon
the swing, standing on the shoulders
of one another after the manner Of
acrobats. 1t may be very fine pastime,
but the average American, 1t is safe to
say, would find in 1t very little appeal.

When William Allen rose up In the
early seventies and surprised the couS-
try by being elected governor Of Ohio
ON the Democratic ticket one OF the
obstacles he triumphed over was the
charge Of being an old man. He ac.
dressed a great meeting at Mozart haii
10 Cincinnati the night following the
day In which this Ill advised charge
had been brought against him By re-
sponsible Republican leader. Strong,
vigorous and well preserved as he was
and retaining unbroken that quality
of voice which had designated him as
"Foghorn Allen" when be was In the
senate, he was still politician enough
TO use 1t for all it was worth to him.
After stating the charge in oil its he'll
nousness he Strengthened himself to bis
full height Of more than six feet and,
beginning in loud voice, asked, Am
a man.? The next question was In
a voice pitched a scale higher and
asked, "Do look like a manT But

Dealing In acats and Dogs"

No antiquarian pursues more prof

dealer In "cats and dogs" as the an
tIouities Of Wall street are dubbed.
"Cats and dogs" are the remnants OF
old stock, bond and note issues or rail-
road, Industrial or mining companies
On which payment Of interest, dlyi'
dends or principal has been in de
fault for years. Some Of these securi'
ties are worthless and obsolete, some
of doubtful value. while a few are
worth their weight in gold. Only the
expert in obsolete securities can detect
their worth. Many OF these securities
can be picked up at the official auction
room OF Wall street. Many brokers
closely scrutinize the securities that
are offered at this auction room, and

for the Manchester Guardian: ut was

Phrases or Handouts.

1t is customary to remark that mod
ern problems cannot easily be attack
ed because they are so complex. In
many cases, believe, 1t Is really be-
cause they are so simple. Nobody
would believe in such simplicity OF
scoundrelism even If it were pointed
out. People would say that the truth
was a charge of mere melodramadc
vIllalny, forgetting that nearly all
villains really are melodramatic. Thus,
for instance, we say that some good
measures are frustrated or some bad
officials kept in power by the press
and confusion Of public business
whereas very often the reason is sim
ply healthy human bribery. We waste
our fine intellects In finding exquisite
phraseology to fit man when 10 q
well ordered society we ought to be
finding handouts to fit him.-G' Is,

Terrapin.

Icrrapfn.
Terrapin begin laying about the mid
die Of May and hatch in about thirty
DAYS. The female terrapin scratches
a hole in the sand with her fore paws,
deposits her eggs, from thirteen TO
nineteen, in it and then covers them
nm and leaves the heat Of the sun on
the sand to hatch out the young terra
pins. They are not much bigger when
Matched than a mans thumb nail and
are as soft as dough. They crawl
around pretty lively and begin to hunt
for their food, consisting Of srSn fish,
crabs. etc. The first summer they are
quite small, and about the first to the
middle Of November they go into their
winter quarters. These consist Oh
some soft mudhole in the marsh or
ON the bottom of some stream. Here
they sleep until about the middle OF
April or later, when they come out ana
are of quite respectable size, say four
inches In breadth. The next year they
are six inches and the third seven
inches in breadth. 1t is undoubtedly
while the terrapin slumbers In the
mud that he acquires the peculiar
qualities for which we admire him.
II Is the only flesh known which one
can crush In bis mouth with his tongue
without the aid OF his teeth. Inc ON
er animals run about sleeping only at
night. The terrapln sleeps night and
day for six or seven months OF the
year and takes his night maps, too, for
the balance Of the year.-Baltimore
