Made Carrier Marvel.

The carrier who delivered letters at the
home OF Chief Justice Fuller marveled at
the hundreds Of letters addressed to the
distinguished jurist, and the carrier also
noted that the letters were addressed by
one person. judging from the handwriting
on the envelopes.
Although sealed and worthy the dis
tinction OF a 2-cent stamp as provided
by tho postal regulations. each envelope
bore a l-cent stamp. Therefore. the
carrier required Cref Justice Fuller 20
pay a cent on each envelope. which the
Chief Justice did not care to do, in view
OF the fact ne received hundreds OF lot
ters every day.
When the Chief Justice instructed the
carrier 20 discontinue delivering the bun
dies OF mail on which additional postage
was required. the mail man reported TO
his superiors that all was not well in the
correspondence OF the famous lawyer.
Investigation was begun and pOst-ofice
inspectors were put on the trail OF the
man who sent the letters.
The inspectors were given several
bushels OF letters as clews on which to
solve the mystery, and they began They
noticed among other things that each

Seoul. oct 29.--lt IS evident from
the action of considerable portion
of the population Jnat the assassina-
itiou of Prince Ito was not uupleas-
ing. Those comprising this section
represent the element which is now
deprived of opportunities formerly
offered them here. and they are agi-
ltating further violence. Niscount
Some, the Japanese resident general
IN Korea, is much disturbed by the
reports coming in in regard to the
attitude of some of the officials and
others who were formerly closely
connected with the court of the emf
peror. It is now believed that the
entire plot was hatched in Seoul
and the closest investigation is pro-
lceeding to discover the instigators
! of Prince lto's murder. 1t is SAID
I that there is reason to believe that
! several prominent Koreans, while
not actually privy to the assassina-
4 ton, lent themselves TO a secret agi-
tation and encouraged the people
lin general in the opinion that the
!sympathy of foreign countries would
/ be extended to them if the situation
were forcbly brought to their at
I tention. 1t is now known that
secret societies existed to spread the
! propaganda that Prince Ito's out
ward friendship for Korea was mere
widely circulated that Japan pur-
posed to confiscate the property of
all Koreans, depose the emperor and
drive the people into the sea.
The ten Koreans arrested at Har-
/ bin will be vigorously examined
with view of discovering the insti-
gators of the plot. Detectives en-
gaged in the case are using their ut
most energies and there is reason tc
believe there will be important de-
velopments in the near future II
can be confidently stated, however
that the best element among the
Koreans and vast majority of the
people are still loyal to the memory
.of Prince Ito, and it is not consider
ed possible that the agitation Will be
successful in unsettling the countr,
to any great extent. especially o
lJapans announced intention not t
change the policies promulgated

wealthy society of the Bay Bay.
They were anxious that the young
man should go to college and take
up profession-preferably the

entered Harvard.
And then, while on college boy

Draper proposed. Governor Draper

when he learned that his son
wanted to wed an actress was
enough to deter most rich mems
sons. But not Bristow Draper.
"Rll disinherit you." said the an

"All right" said young Draper.
'T'll make home and a place in

He was disinherited all right and
leaving Boston came here and
went to work in the cotton mill.
Then, though only 20, he married
the chorus girl. For more than Ii
year he worked as spinner at
