becoming more n more popular. The

the Wind River reservation, from which
town the snow peaked submits Of the
Rockies are visible, from Lander and other
towns 1t Is but a short drive to ideal camp
ing places. A party of twenty young men
from tho east passed through Omaha last
week for Lander, to start on q sixty days

Colonel Cody has established a line of
hotels between Cody and Yellowstone park,
and stops at any OF these may be made
with big game and fish in abundance. Here
is Just the kind Of fishing to please most
people.
On the Laramie river, in southern wyom-
ing, the following flies take we'll with the
fish: Coaohman, light and dark royal,
brown and gray hackles, professor, queen
Of the water, Jungle cock, abbey, black
gnat and cowdung. All the tributaries Of
the Laramie afford good brook trout fish
ing, but the larger fish are found in the
larger streams.
Generally speaking, there is good trout
fishing in all the streams of Wyoming.
Snake, the Big Horn, the Green are
all stocked with trout Of a superior quail
ity. In the warmer portions of these
streams are also found the gamey Rocky

water and takes a fly even better than a
trout. A small fly must be used because
Of the smallness Of their mouths. The
most celebrated fishing grounds are the
head of Green river, the Wind river near
Lander and shoshoni and the many lakes,
There are large trout in Snake river and
still larger in the lake. Five and six-pound
trout are common above Snake River
canon, before entering Yellowstone park,
and in the LAKE specimens a been
caught which weighed over ten pounds.
All the streams rising in the big
Horn mountains are filled with trout and
the lakes on the western slope should be
fished more to give the trout a chance.
Trout in these cold waters are never less
than a pound in weight and often weigh
four or five pounds, and a few hours fish
ing will give the fisherman all the fish his
heart could desire.
Most Of these fishing spots are away
from the railroad, and stages or private
c~onveyances will have to be used, but to

opened. Formerly the only entrance TO
the park was via the Northern Pacific at
Gardiner, but during the last few years
three new entrances have been made DOS

to Cody and thence via stage into the park.
Another is the new Union Pacific line 10

other Is an automobile route north from

entrances TO the park make 1t possible to

Times have been changing in the matter
of vacations for the city folks. 1t was not
so very far back that business men made
trips to well known summer resorts which
are crowded at this time OF the year, but
they nave learned better in recent years.
The business man has learned to his great
advantage that he can have more real
rest and freedom from business cares by
hiking to the mountains. The residents
OF the mountain districts have learned this
and now, all over the west, ample ac-
co-mmodations may be had for q trip close
to nature. At all stations along the Union
Pacific in Wyoming QUILTING parties are
ready at a short notice to provide equip
ment and guides for a trip into the prac-
tically unexplored regions, where fish
may be caught in abundance and where
the seeker after rest nay travel day after
day in the cool mountain breezes with
snow in sight and where all cares may be
forgotten.

Colorado also shares with Wyoming the
honors of being well supplied with noun

many well developed summer resorts,
where a vacation may be spent in the
mountains with all the comforts of an up

closer to the seeker for rest by the estab-

the sexes were about equally divided. They

missions which are operating in Korea.
There are four, each with a large staff Of
American or European workers. The
Roman Catholics are French Jesuits.
They have been here for more than a
century and have a fully organized church.
At their head is q bishop, who is assisted
by a large staff OF priests and nuns,
among whom are Koreans. The Catholics
have a cathedral in Seoul. 1t stands on a
hill overlooking the rest of the city and
it Is by far the largest church building in
Korea.
The protestant missions are all working
together. They have about 200 American
and European men and women employed
and their stations cover the country. The
Professionals are divided into Presbyterians,
Methodists and Anglicans. The Presby-
terians represent both sections OF the
church in the United States, north and
south, and there are also small branches
Of the same denomination from Canada
and Australia. Our Methodist Episcopal
churches, north and south. are carrying
on a great work, and the English nave a
we'll managed mission at the head of which
is a bishop. In addition there are the
mission OF the Russian Greek church in
Seoul, the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton and the Salvation Army, whose ad-
vance guard came last fall. All OF the
larger missions have schools and hospitals,
and all have many native workers. AS /
have said, the movement has so advanced
that the most OF the foreigners are now
employed in directing native Christians,
who have become the chief element In the
evangelization Of the country.

which are carried on regularly in different
parts of the country at certain times OF
the year. These people are anxious to
study the scriptures and to have them ex-
planned. Many OF them commit parts or
the New Testament, the Proverbs and
Psalms, and DR.. Gale tells me that he has
members Of his church whom he uses as
a concordance, asking them where certain
verses OF the scriptures are instead OF
looking at the books. At a Christmas cele-
bration last winter an old woman OF 50
was told to repeat some verses from the
Bible. She started in with Proverbs, ana
ratified off three chapters before they were
able TO stop her. She said she could give
six more IL they wanted them. That
woman walks three miles every Sunday to
church.
The Bible study classes come in the win
ter and spring. The men rave one time
and the women another when they thus
meet together. They will walk for miles
to these classes, bringing their rice or
enough money to pay their board while
they stay. Some come 200 miles and walk
all the way. These meetings last two weeks
and during this time the people read and
discuss the scriptures. Last year the men >
classes were held in February, and those
for the women in March. At the meetings
In Seoul there were 400 men, some Of whom
came from near the Sea Of Japan. some
from the north and others from all over
the country. The meetings were led by
one Of the foreign missionaries, who gave
an outline OF the book Of the New Tesla

asking questions and discussing each
verso. They all took notes in order to
carry their learning back to their villages.
At the woman's meeting the foreign ladies
presided and the exercises were similar.
Medical Missions.
I might write q chapter on the medical
missions OF Korea American doctors have
done enormous good here. There are
twelve hospitals and dlspsnsaries scat
tered over the country, in which 60,Ooo
patients are annually treated, and there
are special corps Of trained workers, in
GLIDING teachers. doctors and nurses, who

are doing a great deal for Korean women
along such lines. The big Red Cross hos
pital which the Japanese nave opened is
based upon work done by the missionaries,
and one of its leading doctors Is William
B. Scranton, who came here twenty-five
years ago as a medical missionary OF the
Methodist church.
1t was DR. Horace N. Allen who sewed
up the body Of Prince Min Yung II when
ne was cut almost to pieces in a revolt at
the palace He thereby gained the good
will Of the king. This insured to the mis-
sionaries the friendship OF the nobility and
enabled America for years to lead in all
the advanced movements here. DIR. Allen
risked his life IN attempting that cure. /
When he arrived at the palace he found
thirteen native physicians about to pour
boiling wax into the gaping Wounds OF the
prince; and IL was only by tact that he
was able to make them stand back and
allow him TO dress the wounds. As a
thank offering thek king then started a gov
eminent hospital with Allen in charge. 1t
had forty beds and It treated over 10000
patients the first year.
The Methodists have now five hospitals,
in which 10000 cases are treated annually,
and the British Society for the Propaga-
ton OF the Gospel has four. The Presby-
terians have a number OF hospitals, one
Of the largest OF them being the Severance
hospital. situated outside the N~an-dai-mon
gate. This is the gift OF Louis M. Sever
anoe, a well known Presbyterian business
man of Cleveland, o., who has given a
great deal Of money toward mission work
throughout the far east Mr.. Severance
takes a business look at such Undertakings.
He says he believes that money invested
in missions in Korea pays bigger dividends
in the way Of results than the same money
so invested anywhere else. The head Of
this hospital is DR.. Avison, and the chief
assistant is DIR. J. w. Hirst of Philadel-
phia. This hospital treated something like
nsm patients last year. OF whom more
than 5000 came to the dispensary. The
hospital is now practically self-supporting.
1t receives only $16O a year from America,
the rest OF the expenses, amounting TO
1900 yen, coming from the work Of the
physicians in charge. A large part OF this
is derived from Korean patients, and over
$4,000 from medical services to foreigners
in Seoul. The hospital has a medical col
lego connected with II and it graduated
seven Korean doctors last year. II has
Korean nurses and a nurses, training
school. and also a clinic at which the bet
ter class Korean patients pay 1 yen Der
visit.

II understand you are going out to de-
scribe the awakening Of Asia. There is
one thing / wish you would investigate
in a practical way. That is the mission
movement. There are tens of thousands
OF us business men who are giving regu-
larly toward the introduction Of Chris
ianity among the heather. We want to
know what our money is doing, and
whether It will pay US to continue giving
or not. You are an unparalleled observer
and We would like to know what you
think"
This desire to know the truth about mis-
sions IL not confined to our business men.
1t is a live question to the 8 1000 900 who
belong to our various church organiza-
tons and to every Sunday school and
religious body throughout the whole United
States.
Thousands of Native Christians.
/ am glad to have this country as my
first field for such Investigation. The
Koreans are now doing more than any
other nation along such lines. Our mis-
sionaries went to the japanese first, but
Korea has today more converts than Japan
and ploportionately many times more than
China, which has been exploited by the
churches for several generations.
The Christian movement is one OF the
vital elements of tho reorganization Of this
country. A great revival is now taking
place among the people. and more than
S'@O converts have been added to the
church within a year. There are about
10000 native Christians, and there will be
10000 before many months. This land has.
AL told, a population OF less than Is, 900, 900.
and of these one In every 100 has professed
our religion. II a similar success could be
had In Japan that country would have
oW'OO Christians; II in China It would
have 100000. and II in India, 5000. 900 or
more.
