AMPLE MEASURE OF REVENGE.
Time That Pat Got GIoriousIy Even
with the Doctor.

Pat had had trouble with his eyes,
and friend having advised him to
consult an Oculist, he went a few days
ago to see DR.. W, a distinguished
specialist, for relief. On his arrival at
the doctors Office he found the usual
large number of patients in the ante
room awaiting attention, and though
he was in a great hurry he was forced
to wait several dreary hours before his
turn came. He lost and regained his
temper several times in the interim.

himself out upon the street with the

But Oh had me revinge!" he ejacu-

friend Mike about it afterward. "Oi

DEVOTION TO RULER
KOREANS SHOW HIGH DEGREE OF
PATRloTIsM.
Had Decided Freely to Give Their
Lives 70 Warn Emperor Of
What They Considered
Grave Danger.

Out Of Korea comes story Of the
fanatical devotion shown to the shad-
ow emperor Of the land BY those of
his subjects who still resent the rule
Of the japanese and view each move
OF their virtual masters with deep
suspicion. In this instance several pa
triots were willing to let themselves
be run over BY q railroad train II only
his majesty might be warned BY their
death that he was flying into the trap
set for his feet BY Prince no.
A month ago the emperor announced
that he was going to leave Seoul
and take q trip to Fusan, the most
easterly city Of tho peninsula and
wholly q japanese settlement. This
was an unprecedented thing for tho
emperor to do, since for countless gen
erations Korean kings and emperors
had been content to sit in the hall Of
congratulations In the Mulberry palace
at Seoul and let subjects from other
parts Of the land come to them to pay
homage. Despite the protests Of the
patriots Prince Ito. who was engineer
ing the trip. ruled and the emperor set
out over the SeoulFusan railway to
visit the seaport at the other terminal
It became known by the Koreans
along the route that the japanese bat
tleship Azuma was to anchor in the
harbor of Fusan and that part Of tho
welcoming ceremonies that were to
occur In Fusan was to be . luncheon
to the emperor on board the ship.
Immediately the rumor grew to the
conviction that as soon a. Prince Ito
had the emperor safely on the Azuma's
deck anchor would be hoisted and the
last of the line of Korean rulers would
be whisked of to Japan, there to die
in q dungeon.
Perhaps the simple Koreans had
some justification for believing that
the crafty resident-general would like
to execute a coup like that; certainly
the hand of the japanese had made
such startling moves on the imperial
chess board at Seoul that even q du-
plication Of the murder that was done
In the Mulberry palace some years ago
a. Tic luSt0uCc VI q JApolCcS AIuAStCT
would not seem improbable to the Ko-
reans.
At any rate the emperor had his
luncheon on board the battleship in
Fusan harbor and was put safely back
on his own territory again. During
the course of the luncheon Prince Ito
made conversation by telling the pup
pet ruler that he had learned that at
Taiku, one Of the large towns on the
line of the railway, a party of pa
triots, convinced that the emperor
was going to his doom, had determined
to lay themselves on the rails as his
train approached the station. They
believed that by this act of sacrifice
their monarch might be made to see
that he was approaching immediate
danger.
The patriots had been dissuaded by
a very material japanese policeman
