voyager to suffer SO acutely when parting time comes that he or she at the final moment refuses to make the trip. There was a diverting case of that sort on this pier In June last. good looking couple came down to the pier in hanson, the man to see his wife off. She shook him off and began to dab at her eyes.
 Well. it's sailing time, little girl I heard him expostulate. Come on board and let me see how you are going to be fixed for the ride and again he took hold of her arm to lead her to the gang way.
 Again she shook him off and she stood stock still in her tracks, her eyes fairly cascadng by this time
 Now, look here, Heloise, dontN you start and be foolish. her husband said to her. looking kind O queer around the eyes himself by this time. You are going to have a gorgeous trip and I'll join you in a couple of months and everythingll be lovely. Everybodys going abroad They'll be casting off in minute.'
 Well, she raced down to the end of the pier, still holding her handkerchief to her eyes, and he after her. I had business down where they were a few minutes later and I found him still arguing with her but to little purpose.
 It's absurd, you know, Heloise, this sort of thing he was saying to her. 'Ranlkly absurd I don't know what the dickens can have got into you. You never behaved like this before. Here you are at the very moment of starting on your first voyage to Europe

 What! he exclaimed in astonishment Not going? Why, wha-what the

steamer with her, if only for minute. and he clicked his teeth and hardened his jaw and parked at her:
 Won't do any such blamed fool thing. and that settles it, and I don't want you to ask me to do that again. Buck up. Stop all this humbug. How's that? Don't I feel badly at all about you going? Course l feel sorry, and all like that, but
 {" well right there I caught a sort of 8 break in that fellows voice, and I heayed a sharp look at his face. Then I could see that the was only pretending. His features were positively drawn with misery, and his eyes were all ready to give him dead away
 Oh. we'll he resumed after he'd sort of conquered that break in his voice, I suppose I'll have to go aboard with you if only to keep you from making show of me here on the dock. Come on, and he took her by the arm and led her up the gangway. oThe All ashorep call went and all hands of the Godspeeders came down, except that man who had been pretend ing to 4 be peevish. When the steamer was pushing out, however, he appeared at the rail with his wife. Her face was beaming with happiness. though she still was crying, and he looked kind O red around the eyes himself.
 'rIo. ho, Jack you didn't get ashore in time, eh? one of his friends on the pier called out to him.
 "sAshore nothing Jack called back, waving his hand at his friend I'm going along
 That man had been afraid to trust himself aboard the steamer for fear that he wouldn't be able to let his wife go alone. and that's exactly the way the thing did come out when he did find himself on board the steamer. He couldn't stand the gaff of parting on hoard when it came to the test, and he went along with her.
 It's no uncommon thing for a booked

New York, June N.-James D. Hallen, a former New York lawyer, who was on trial charged with grand larceny in cheating the Nicaraguan government out of the price of million cartridges. was acquitted today by direction of Judge Malone, who told the jury that the state had failed to prove Hallen guilty of any criminal practices. Hallen sent the Nica- raguans sawdust and other harmless stuff fin boxes which President Zelaya's ad- visers supposed to contain ammunition. He did this, Hallen alleged, because he had learned that Zelaya was planning to use the cartridges to upset the peace of all Central America.

men are found in every city and village and can be seen everywhere carrying great loads over the country.
 One of the first things that the Japan ese will do will be to make wagon roads, and military highways, connecting all parts of Corea- I understand they are building some now, and that four main lines are to be constructed A number of new railroads have been planned and sev- eral started. This Is in addition to the 600-mle line now in operation. At pres ent Japan is so poor that she cannot push this feature of her work, but it is her intention to extend the railroads at the earliest possible time.
 The People of Corea.
 I have space here for only word about the people of Corea. They are among the queerest and most interesting of the Asiatic races and have great pos sibilities. As to their number census was taken some time ago and the count made 100000. They have been so squeezed and ground down by taxation. however, that they will not give out the full number of souls in each house, and the probability is that there are many more than were counted. fair estimate, l am told would be 14,0OO,OO0 The Co., reans themselves estimate the population at 20, 900, GOO, but there figures are of little value. as they have no basis to go on.
 The most of these people live in vil- lages such as I have described. There are no very large cities. Seoul has now per haps quarter of million, although the census gave 1t only about 100000. Pyeng yang has 60,o00, Taiku 50,000, and after that come Chemulpo, Fusan, Gensan and Songdo.
 The people are divided into classes, and, formerly the Emperor and the nobility owned most of the lands and held all the offices. They have been the curse of the country and have squeezed the others numerically. The nobility until now have gone about dressed in silks and fine grass cloths, with a lot of retainers about them. They have had coolies with them to hold up their arms as they walked, and If they rode servant would go along on each side of the horse to see that they did not fall from the sad dIe. They did absolutely no work and considered it a disgrace to carry bun dle The boys who went to the modern school established by the Emperor, took servants along with them to carry their pencils and paper, and some tramped to the school building through the rain be- cause they would not endure the disgrace of carrying an umbrella.
 This sentiment prevails somewhat to-

locks, reminding one of the blows of the Scriptures. Much of the country Is hood over by men and women. The clods are broken up with mallets, which the peo- pie swing back and forth as they walk through the furrows. There is no macnin- cry of any kind. The grain is all sowed by hand It is thrashed with fails and winnowed in the wind, the grain and chaff being thrown high Into the air.
 The contrast between the country scenes of Japan and Corea is striking. Every thing in the former country shines with thrift There Is not a weed in the fields, the houses are neat and we'll built and the people clean and rosy from the hot baths they take every day. All farming here is done in the most slovenly way. The methods of taxation and squeezing have been such as to leave but little in- centive to work and the bulk of the profits have gone to the officials. The farm houses are mean. They are squalid huts of mud and stone, with roofs of straw thatch tied on with strings. They are collected together in little villages which often nestle on the sides of the hills. There are no trees or gardens about them. Every home is surrounded by a mud wall high enough to keep the men on the streets from looking in at the girls
 The streets are winding alleys, where the garbage of the house is thrown out to rot in the sun. Sometimes ditches run along the sides of the streets, serving as sewers, and the houses have no sani- tary arrangements whatever. The con- ditions are so bad that typhoid, cholera and dysentery are of frequent appear ance and smallpox is almost universal. Nearly every other face one sees is more or less pock marked, and parents. I am told do not count their children as per- manent possibilities until they have had that disease These are some of the con- ditions of this country which Japan is trying to make over.
 A Land Without Roads.
 As to other things, Corea in many re- spects is worse off than the Philippines. There are practically no roads. The only ways from place to place are by bridle paths with lords across the streams. Now and then one finds a rude bridge two or three feet wide, propped up on poles, and again he has to make his way over such streams by stepping stones or be carried across on the backs of men. Practically all transportation away from the railroads is by pack bullocks, ponies and porters. All these carry great loads; and the men will take as much as 500 pounds at a pinch. There is big guild of porters. Its

An Advertising Forum.

From the Booklleeper.
 A new plan of instruction in advertising and written salesmanship has been inang- urated by the West Side Young Mems Christian association of New York. It has employed % of the leading advertis- ing experts in all fields as lecturers and instructors. These include editors and special writers, managers of advertising, business managers and publishers of the great New York dailies and magazines, and advertising managers of large mer- cantile houses of Manhattan and Brook lyn which advertise extensively and have worked out the most successful sys- tems. The lectures, which will be given in The evening, will thus present the practical as well as theoretical features of the sub ject Three-quarters of an hour perced- ing each lecture is devoted to systematic instruction. Assignment of home work and individual criticism complete the evening.
 The forum is designed to be a clearing

house of advertising knowledge in which experts in all branches will exchange in- formation about their specialties, and 1t is hoped that important data will be con tributed and lead to the eventual codif- cation of a definite science of advertising. The instructive features will cover mag azine, newspaper and class publication advertising, form letter and mail order campaigning, preparation of circulars, booklets and catalogs, use of type, color, illustration. etc.
 The course is designed to be of service to business men. advertising solicitors, advertising managers, and those who may wish to supervise or direct their own ad- vertising.

day, although it is fast disappearing By the coming in of the Japanese the most of the nobility have lost their fat in comes and the farmers and common peo- pie are now to have a better show It is claimed that they are being oppressed by the Japanese, but their condition can not possibly be as bad as it has been in the past and the dawn of freedom seems to be breaking. The Japanese are establishing courts in the cities and they propose to thoroughly reorganize the gov ernment of the provinces as we'll as that here at Seoul

Sticking to a Thinu.
From the Bookkeeper.

From the BoOkKeeper.
 Many business men fail because they are quitters. It may be that more fail for this reason than any other. Whatever the proportion the number is too large. Men can accomplish more than they ever dreamt of, in most cases It is mainly a question of holding on when a man is en- gagged in a pursuit into which his physi- cal and mental qualities fit. If plants succumbed to every whiff of biting air in the raw days of spring and shriveed up at every drought of summer there would be no fruit. Nature points the way to holding on with grim tenacity and left alone the face of the earth is smothered in shrub and flower and seed.
 In the fields of industry, Thomas A Edison Is a splendid illustration of these truths. He says: "In scientific work, as in all other work, the chief factor of suc- cess is the power of sticking to a thing I attribute all that I have accomplished persons get discouraged" Grant won his battles by holding on, not by superior military tactics. Examples are as numer- ous as successful men.
 Not all may succeed in the same de- gree, since men are differently constituted and labor under varying conditions, but a doubting, shifting, yielding course leads nowhere. No sensible man would make a mistake of travelling east to reach a west ern town; so none should pursue an ob- ject unpreparedly and without purpose. But it is not only necessary to be sure that you are right and then go ahead, but to keep going.
