korea's Captive Emperor.

korea's Captive Emperor.
From Leslie's Weekly: There has
scarcely ever been more pitiful fig
ure in history than that of the ex-
emperor of Korea, who, since his de-
position by the Japanese conquerors
Of his country, has been kept vir-
tual prisoner At the time of his
forced application of the throne, the
ruler was wealthy, his fortune being
estimated at S40,000,000. But all that
money has been turned into the pub
lie treasury, and today the ex-em-
peror is a pauper, living in small
cottage in one of the palace Enclosures
at Seoul. He is closely guarded by
Japanese police and spies, and no.
body is allowed to communicate with
him except in their presence. Even
his son, who now occupies the throne,
is not allowed to visit him except
under Japanese escort. It is explain
ed that these precautions are taker
by the Japanese because the. ex-em.
peror is suspected of inspiring the
acts of insurrection recorded from
time to time in various parts of the
kingdom. H SSy

stream had a broadside shot with his
old Enfield rifle, but the moose stood
there and never moved in its tracks,
SO I fired three shots, all ] had, direct
ly in its rear parts, while sitting in
the kyak, but he did not appear to
take any notice of us, and walked
leisurely off into a deep thicket. We
all went ashore as soon as possible
and gave chase, thinking we had
wounded him mortally, but we failed
to get sight of him again. The Es-
kimo was sure that he had hit the
bull. On examining my rifle 4 found
that the sight had nearly slipped on
the barrel. I must have shot the
animal, but at the wrong end to be
fatal. This was the fattest and finest

OF Cincinnati the new presidents
brother Charley B Charley Boy, ( as
the Youngest of the family is called

tour around the world, and brighter,
more unaffected boy it would be hard
to find.
The career of Miss Helen, who is
bent on spending four years more at
school, is giving Mrs. Taft the most
concern. The next lady of the White
House believes to a certain degree in
the niger education, but she says that
woman who has studied earnestly
makes a more useful member of so
ciety than one whose accomplish
ments are varied but mostly artifi-
cial. The middle course of good
academic school and special studies
afterwards, she believes, meets ali
the requirements for the vast major
ity of the future wives and mothers.
So from a study OF Mrs. Taft's char
acter and personality, it is easily seen
that the country need well be proud

pishwashing Made Easy.

One. of the unnecessary things in
housekeeping is the continuous wash
ing and wiping of dishes. Methinks I
hear cry of horror from horde
of housekeepers, but many of them
have, nevertheless, at one time or an
other, rebelled against the stack of
dishes which looms up, like the
schoolboy's hash, three times day.
It is queer how some women will
wear themselves out rather than step
aside from the beaten path. They
have yet to learn the, joy that comes
from taking an independent tack and
making the work subservient to the
worker; from being the master in
stead of the slave. To many women,
the bugbear of housework is dish
washing. Why wash dishes three
times a day? Do it in the morning,
when fresh; scrape the dinner dish
es, stack in a large pan filled with
cold water and cover. Treat the
supper dishes the same way, and do
not allow your conscience to keep
you awake one single hour It will
not make the task too heavy next
morning, if you try my way After
washing each peace in hot suds and
rinsing in hot (not warm) water, put
them piece by piece in the wire drain
er (price ten cents) as nearly on edge
or, aslant, as possible, and let stand
until dry. Glasses, of course, and
silver, must be wiped; but the former
can be left filed, after using, and the
latter put into a pitcher or deep jug
until some odd minute when one is
not SO weary with well doing that
another turn of the screw seems next
to impossible ,s3j.

pines, China and Japan, and thence
across the Siberian railroad to st.
Petersburg.
During her stay in Japan Mrs. Taft
delighted the women Of the Flowery
Kingdom by repeating phrases and
sentences in their language that she
had picked up on former visits to the
island. She never wearies in extend
ing her linguistic accomplishments.
And to bark back on the subject of
literature, George Eliot is Mrs. Taft's

filled from parlor to attic with al
most priceless mementoes Of hel

the stories and articles which bows

chapters of the fine serials by Hous-

Malaga Dicks Thanksgiving is fine
story of how a boy earned his

Two interesting football stories, Far

interesting story of Uncle Sans post

mrs WILLIAM TAFT WHO MIL soon Be THE FIRST LADY OF THE LAND


The first lady Of the land. What
manner Of woman is she? z"
This all-absorbing question in the
feminine mind and In the masculine,
too, for that matteris readily an
swered. Mrs. Helen Heron Taft, wife
of the president-elect, and next mis-
tress Of the White House. has been
for years we'll known figure in Wash
ington society, where her graciousness
intellect and womanly ways have won
her a warm place in the hearts Of
those who have met her.
The characteristic Of the Taft home
lies in its atmosphere of hospitality
to friend and to stranger alike. Mrs.
Taft is Of the genuine type Of Ameri-
can woman. She has no fads; she has
not a trace of affectation. She pos
sesses a refreshing sense of hunor;
she has a wealth OF information on
subjects running the gamut from pol
itics to art. Her manner is frank
and direct. She radiates gracious
ness. "a ;5s a89sfT
In these qualities Of temperament
the next mistress Of the White House
is remarkably like her husband, whose
genial smile has been pictured from
one end of the land to the other dur
ing the campaign. Both the next
president and his wife like to vel
come visitors at their home. Close
friends are made to feel that the Taft

in the Taft home is paneled. in rose
brocade and painted in ivory. The
furniture lis rose and gold Mrs. Taft S
own room is hung in blue, her favorite
color.
The one trait, above all others,
which impresses those who. meet her,
for the first time is her devotion to
her husband and her belief in his
powers. No one can talk to Mrs.
Taft for Eve minutes and remain in
doubt as to this. In her reading she
keeps pace with her husband, so that
she can converse intelligently with
him and his friends upon the great
questions of national policies and pol.
itics.| Often in the absence of her
husband, Mrs. Taft has met the
Washington newspaper men and has
talked over the political situation
with a knowledge almost equal to that
of Mr.. Taft himself. Il;
Another great interest Of the next
mistress of the White House lies in
charities. She is deeply interested in
philanthropic work, but does not par
ade her good deeds, and they are
known only to her intimate friends.
The children of the Taft family are
a source of pride and joy to both Mrs
Taft and the president-elect. There
are three children in the Taft family

callers receive the utmost courtesy
no one ever leaves the Taft home
telling that he has been an intruder.
NJ In taking up the reins Of the high.
est social position In the country Mrs.
Taft will not do SO with an entire
sense of strangeness to the White
House life. Her father was the law:
partner of President Hayes, and the
chief executive held the daughter OF
his partner close to his heart. Al
though only toddler during the
Hayes administration, Mrs. Taft spent
the greater part of each year at the
White House. She practically grew
up in its atmosphere.
In appearance Mrs. Taft is tall and
5youthfully slender. Her hair is dark
brown and her eyes are blue gray.
Sincerity lies In her expression, and
she has a way OF smiling when she is
amused which makes her face a
charming picture. 1t has often been
said that Mrs. Taft has as keen a
sense of hlnor as her husband and
that her flashes Of wit often set her
husband off into explosions Of laugh
ter. y
Reading and music are Mrs. Taft's
pet diversion. She deYotes some part
of each day to the study of languages
French and Spanish being her fav
orites. Few mistresses of the White

/ House have been familiar with the
continual languages, which has pre-
vented them from absorbing a famil-
lar knowledge of that fascinating
part of Washington society. The dip
lomatic corps. Mrs. Taft speaks sew
Eeral languages fuently. She reads
musical reviews from every country
where music Is a power and In adj
dition she pursues magazines devoted
to politics and the best literature Of
the day. 3 IN $ II s
Mrs. Taft's love of music has made
her something more than an amat-
eur musician and critic. In Cincin-
natl, her home city, she took a con-
spicuous part in musical affairs and
was at one time president of the Gin
cinnati symphony orchestra, besides
being connected with other musical
organizations Mrs. Roosevelt is fond
of music and has given several nota-
BILE musicales in the White House,

TRANSIT GASOLENE engine
PROVES WONDERFUL SUCCESS
Novel Invention in Flowing and Thfeshing Engine
Given Thorough Test al Mckenzie
Engine Not Only Pulls PlOWS With Ease But With II Thfesh
.'5 ing Gan Be Done While TraVersing Field

Last week the Hackney ranch
people made careful test Of the
gasoline engine purchased from the
Transit Thresher company of Min
neapolis, which was witnessed by a
number Of interested spectators. M
The engine had been received only.
"a few days before and was taken
to the ranch south OF Mckenzie and
after having the plows attached and
doing different stunts, such as go
ing through gumbo flats. plowing
fire breaks and doing sundry other
things was made ready for the final
test In doing field work. The OBJ
ject on the part OF the Hackney ranch
people was to see If the engine would
stand the test Of the heavy work on
the farm and be ready for operations
as soon as spring comes. for these
people want to seed large acreage
of sod next spring.
But to the interested spectators
1t had another meaning, Mr.. Hack
ney had satisfied himself as to the
economy, speed and power Of the
motor and had sent this one to Bur
leigh county, and had ordered four
more for his farms In the Red
river valley.
The test made at the Mckenzie
ranch was successful and the en-
gine and plows WIN soon go into win
ter quarters.
AS before stated the engine was us
ed In various ways In travelling over
places too soft and marshy for a
steam engine to go and In pIowing
fire breaks, around stacks and on
different kinds Of land.
The final test was made Id a.
i straight field test OF breaking sod.
The engine pulled six fourteen-inch
p1ows at the rate of three miles an
hour, and travelled steadily and pull
4 ed the load without any trouble or
delay and could apparently have
handled half as many more plows
with ease and safety. 81
After seeing the work done BY
this engine nothing could be more
natural than to inquire into the his
tory Of the invention, It's manufac-
ture and use. And to the surprise
and qualification Of all II was found
that the engine was the invention Of
q North Dakota man, and that the
manufacture and sale was BY North
Dakota people almost exclusively.
Well. here Is where the thing be
gins to get interesting. motor

I anything done BY horse or steam
power at less expense than BY eth

lutionize farming on the North Da-
kpta prairies and all done by North
Dakota people, even to the rnanufac,
ture and sale Of the machine and also
at an expense much less than others
had ever been able to do.
