Every little while the horse gets the cue to vamp and does some buck and wing dancing sideways and then my friend grabs his noble steed around the neck and I can see his pale lips moving in silent prayer. He looks like a chunky Santa Claus sitting astraddle of the dormer roof of mouse -colored house, trying to look down the chimney to see if the chill dren are asleep yet. That's the cue for me sitting there all nice and cozy on my little park bench. I gloat. You Just ought to hear me gloat. I'm one of our best little gloaters, Larry, and you can take 1t from me. Sometimes when he slides down over the mansard and almost loses his strangle holt on the fues of Gray Gables. which is my pet name for his horse, you can hear me gloating all over the place. Once or twice the cops have threatened to arr rest me if I didn't do my gloating moro under my breath. They said it was soaring the squirrels out of the park

mountains And I'm almost certain to get to thinking how unpleasant it might be for all concerned if he should sud- denly forget about my being located away up on the topmost peaks of his noun tain range and go away suddenly, and leave me up there, sequestered, so to speak Constant broodiag on this pre- vents me from giving my full time and attention to graceful riding. I have a feeling that I do not make my best ap- pearance astride the combing of a spare built horse with my feet sticking out over the caves and a hunted look in my usual ly calm and reflective eyes Also my customary flow of bright and sparkling conversation seems to desert me at such a time. So far as the apt and ready re- tort is concerned, I'm practically at the mercy of the ribald chatter of the thought less populace. What with trying to antic- ipate the next movement of my mount and hoping to be there in time to meet him, and keeping my feet in the stirrups and holding on to the reins, the horse mane and my hat simultaneously, my mind is so fully occupied that the only English words I can think of are, Whoa and 'Ouch,' and they don't seem to fit very well into an exchange of roadside repartee. I don't feel at home and I'm blamed if l think the horse does.
 'I don't think I'd learn to care deeply for polo that being a game in which you encounter almost constant opposition from somebody on the other side, and I fear there are a few minor defects about by bearing on horseback that might initiate against my being selected as a model for

thing but a tempting idea of future state. Achilles. in the Odyssey, expressed a very natural and no doubt a very com mon sentiment when he said that he would rather be on earth the serf of a needy master than reign over the whole Kingdom of the dead" Now, did MT. Mill seriously think that the Greeks were doing perfectly well' when they were living in heathenish idolatry? And did he really think that so barbarous and blood thirsty a creature as Achilles was high style of man? Compare such a man-one of the best specimens, too, of his times with a Havelock or a Robert E. Lee
 We are told that when Aristotle was on his dying bed he uttered that touching vail: q came Into the world in sin; I have lived in ignorance; I died in terror. Cause of causes, pity mel" Perhaps a more highly cultivated man than Aristotle never lived. All that study and thought could give him he had Was he doing "perfectly well'' without a hope of the

that go bobbing up and down mile after mile, vainly imagining that they're really riding English style, which, take it, was invented by a nervous man who hated the thought of staying long in one place. And the rest of the day the victim is as stiff as hatrack and sore as mashed thumb. He walks with a gait like a pair of callipers and every time he passes a harness store he involuntarily f1inches. Yet day by day he'll go out and offer him self up as a burnt sacrifice on the altar of a raw-boned horse with a sharp spinal column running down the middle of the altar. He has a vain delusion that if he keeps it up long enough it'll give him a figure as willowy and sylph-like as a yard of baby ribbon, and you can't make him believe any different.
 I've got a friend that's been in dulging in this form of punishment all spring. He's not merely pleasantly plump like I am; he's what you might really call verging on the stout. Yet he wouldn't admit it for long while. But policemen would come up to him on the street and tell him if he didn't disperse he'd be arrested for forming a crowd and blocking traffic. And he'd overh ear people who were walking be- hind him wondering why people don't wait until night to move those bank vaults. So, now I love to go up to the drive of morning and watch him go bounding by on a profile map of a horse, wearing that pained look which you see on the face of a serious man who learned dancing in 20 easy les

more one-half of cent per mile. At these rates one could go from New York to Chicago for less than S5 Communication tickets are issued for parties, and 20 or more are taken at 30 per cent under the regular rates, while a round-trip ticket cuts down ones fare just one-ffth.
 In coming from Kobe to Shimonese- Ri I rode on what might be called the Japanese limited express. The dis tance was 375 miles and I had d sleeper, although it was In the daytime The extra rate charged for the fast train and the superior accommodations was 75 cents or just what one pays for seat in oh air from Washington to Philadelphia, which is only a little more than one-thir ird the distance.
 The eating is very cheap on all the Japanese roads. This is so for both natives and foreigners, and especially the former. In Japan peddlers come to the cars at every stop with hot tea and cold lunches. The usual price for the latter is 7R cents, and for the tea. including the earthenware pot and the cup which goes with it, only cents of our money. The tea is served fresh, the green leaves being dropped into the pot and the hot water poured on while you look. It is then covered and the cup turned upside down on the top. You can take it into the car with. you and carry pot and all home if you like. The 7-cent lunches are put up in little pine boxes an inch thick, four inches wide and six inches long. Two of such boxes contain one lunch. The upper one has several slices of omelet, some vegetables and seaweed dried and cooked. On the top are chop sticks made of fresh pine wood and in such way that you have to split them apart, before you use them, rus prov ing that they have not been left over from some previous meal. In the lower box there is about a pint of the whitest Japanese rice, well steamed but served cold. The customers eat this as bread, shoveling it into their mouths with the sticks.
 As to the dining-car meals, they are all foreign style with plates knives and forks and the usual accompaniments of an American dining car l have before me the menu which served la carte on my way from Fusan to Seoul You can compare the prices with those of our American restaurants or of our cars at home Soup costs cents, good slice of fried fish cents; or for the same money you can have an omelet. dish of curry and rice or a meat croquette. An ordinary beefsteak on an American liner costs from 80 cents to N.25. The price

GETTING FAT-By Irwin s. Cobb

trouble with him seems to be that riding gives him such an appetite that he eats twice as much as he formerly did and he's putting on layers from the inside faster than he can wear 'em off on sad del from the outside.
 ''So I've decided, Larry, that the horse back thing is not for dearie me. l can get all the violent exercise I want rid ing a cross-town trolley line, about the time everybody in New York is trying to go home on the same car. Horseback riding is all right for mounted cops, Cos sacks and ladies In circuses. They're paid to do it. Otherwise, I bet you they'd walk. It's all right as a business, but personally. I wouldn't class 1t among the pleasures, sports and pastimes."
 Maybe you're skeered of hosses," in- sinuted the House Detective.
 Not at all," said the HotaJ Jerk. "When we're each in our propet phere. which is to say. when both of Us are on the ground, I'm afraid of no horse up like Coney Island roller coaster and do intricate schottlshe steps with all four of his feet at once there're just two places in the world where I earnestly de- sire not to be. Ones on top of him and the others under him. Besides, when I climb up on what appeared from the earth to be an average-sized horse, Pm apt to suddenly discover that he's about 28 feet high and constructed along the top on the general design of the Andes

equestrian monuments to any of our great generals. So what's the use?
 If I ever really feel the need of bant- ing I'll bant the same way a woman does. That's a nice, comfortable, satis- flying way. It's hard to convince a wom- an that she's taking on flesh but when you do convince her there's nothing to fl. As long as the cook, the parlor maid and the upstairs girl, by their united strength. can couple her into the last pair of corsets she bought, she's perfect ly satisfied that she's not a mite heavier, even if the strings are drawn tight enough to play a guitar solo on and her head has the appearance of Just bursting through a feather tick. But the sad day comes when they can't jump her in, even with the breathing suspended, and then she realizes that she's f1eshening up bit. just a trife, and she goes on a very strict diet, this way:
 ''She takes a Turkish bath for break fast. hardtack cracker and sip of mineral water for lunch, and at dinner she orders everything on the menu except the date line and the proprietor's name, not because she wants that much food, of course, but to give her the strength to go on with the treatment the next day.
 ''Why can't people be satisfied with the way nature intended them to be. Thin ones get thinner trying to get fat and fat ones swell up trying to make them selves thin"
 That's foolish talk" said the House Detective Did you ever hear of any body in this country that was puffectIy satisfied with the way Nature made him?"
 "One," said the Hotel Clerk, "but he's not in this country at present. having gone to Africa''

COREAS NEW RAILWAYS-By Frank C. Carpenter

wear tall black horse hair hats and long gowns of white or pink, which reach to their feet. They have full white trousers tied in at the ankles and stockings of wadded cotton a half an inch thick. Their shoes are low and heavy and often hob-nailed. There are also women dressed in white with green capes over their heads and porters who look dirty enough as they take the luxury of ride from one sta tion to another. There are gayly dressed boys who wear gowns of bright colors and part their hair in the mid dle and plait it in one long braid down their backs. There are Japanese of the lower classes in kmonos and many Japaneses private soldiers on their way from post to post. There are Buddhist priests and pilgrims who travel third class both here and in Japan and al together fair sample of every type of the comomn people of both prin- cipalities.
 The new stations on the Corean rail roads are well built The roadway is graded so that it is level with the cars, and it is separated from the tracks by stone facings. There are military guards at every depot. and the Japanese and Corean flags are often crossed over the entrances This is especially so when the army officers go over the road The train which brought me to Seoul had sev- eral companies of privates in it's third class cars, and there was a colonel or general who travelled first class. Delega- tions of Japanese and Coreans came down to meet US and refreshments were served to the common soldiers at many of the stops. At Taiku, a city of 50,000. and at one or two other large stations, the Japanese school children came en masse, to pay their respects to the troops and they marched up and down. drilled by their teachers. crying, "BanZai"' or May you live 1o0o0 yearsi" At the same time the masses of the Coreans were separated from the station platforms by fences and could only look through the slats.
 The road from Seoul to Fusan is well built. It crosses several ranges of mountains and has one tunnel 4000 feet long. There are about 50 stations along the line, the average distance between them being less than six miles. l under stand that the Coreans are using the road more and more, and that the freight is steadily increasing. This Is so on the road north of Seoul and also on the line to Chemulpo, which is now yielding a profit.
 Both here and in Japan the railroads
