STUDENTS DEMONSTRATE
 AGAINST SMUGGLING

SEOUL, January ll.--The visit of the emperor of Korea, accompanied by Prince Ito, to Fus San, about two hun dred miles from the capital, created the impression that Ito was endeavoring to smuggie' the emperor aboard a warship and have him taken to Japan.
 In this police, students along the route taken by the emperor and prince made hostile demonstrations, necessi- tating their dispersal by the police.
 The emperor of Japan then ordered a squadron esnt to Fus San to make a demonstration in honor of the Emperor of Korea, who went aboard the dag ship, amid the firing of salutes and re- eeived cabiegram of congratulations from the Japanese emperor, to which he replied in cordial terms. He after. wards visited other vessels of the squad ron.

THE ACT OF DYING.
Reasons For Believing That It is an
 Easy Matter

The mere ultimate process of dying may be a relatively easy matter Any person who has been long i'll probably suffers more on any, given day of his life than he will suffer in the act of departing from his body. It is proba- ble that broken bone, delirious fe- yer. q disordered vital organ, may cause more anguish than the final struggle. have my doubts whether the last pang is as bad as 1t seems, de clares Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in Har- per's Bazar. We are told by surgeons that chloroformed patients may give apparent evidence of acute agonies which they do not feel Death itself Is often an anaesthetic so merciful that what people call living trouble" Is obviously a worse matter
 1, for instance, who have never faint ed and never been anaesthetized in my life, have twice become from serious causes unconscious for short time. and have often wished that could make over to some recoling soul whose name has been heard ringing upon the last roll call the unspeakable comfort which that brief experience has given me. There was no pang. no terror. no time, no chance. for either One seem- ed to glide gently and swiftly down d warm abyss, flower scented. grass grown. safe and benefcent, into unut- terable content. One melted into peace. One drifted into ecstasy beside which the deepest joys of conscious ness are poor, pale things.
 If one in truth should evade the body in such moment. death would stand chosen as the supreme delight of liv- ing.
