Korea's Captiye Emperor.

There has scarcely ever been
more pitiful figure In history than
chat Of the ex-Emperor of Korea,
who, since his deposition by the Jap
anese eonquerors of his country, has
been kept a virtual prisoner. At the
time Of his forced abdication Of the
throne, the ruler was wealthy, his for
tune being estimated at $40,000,000.
But all that money has been turned
into the public treasury, and to-day
the ex-Emperor is pauper, living in
small cottage in one of the palace
Enclosures at Seoul. He is closely
guarded by Japanese police and spies,
and nobody is allowed to communi-
cate with him except in their pres
ence, says Lesiies Weekly. Even
his son, who now occupies the throne,
is not allowed to visit him except un-
der Japanese escort. 1t is explained
that these precautions are taken by
the Japanese because the ex-Emperor
is suspected of inspiring the acts of
insurrection recorded from time to
time in various parts of the Kingdom.

Young Hoodlums.

The Worcester Gazette declares
there is an unwhipped gang of young
sters in that city, found in nearly
every quarter, and so slightly re-
strained by the police that they are
rapidly being nodded into the stuff
from which roaring mobs are made.
1t is to be feared that Worcester is
not alone in the possession of such a
gang, Probably duplicate could be
found in any city of the Common
wealth, and no town of any size is
free from similar il smaller group
of youthful disturbers. 1t is generally
agreed that the responsibility for the
existence of such gangs rests on the
mollycoddling spirit of the time,
which is reflected in some of the fool
legislation relative to juvenile Offend
ers now on the statute book.-Lowell
Courier-Citizen.

The struggle For Liberty.

What you call liberty call liber-
ties. and what I call the struggle for
liberty is nothing but the constant
living assimilation of the idea of free
dom. He who possesses liberty 9th
erwise than as a thing to be striven
for, possesses it dead and soulless;
for the idea of liberty has undoubt-
edly this Characteristic, that it de-
velops steadily during It's assimila-
ton. So that man who stops in the
midst of the struggle and says, NOW
have i'll" thereby shows that he
has lost it.-Henrik Ibsen.
