There was not a dry eye in the
church and many a prayer went out
tothe sorrowing parents as the SER
vice was being conducted at the
church. Many were at the late resi-
dence of the unfortunate girl ut 322
Smith street before the cortege pass
ed on its way to the church.
Eight of the young girls most in
Innate friends and fellow workers

Contrasts between the customs of Corea and
those of other countries are striking every
where. In other lands when man wants to
remove hog from one pasture to another he
drives it or tolls it with corn. Not SO in Corea.
Here stout laboring man catches a full grown
hog, ties its feet together, puts 1t on wood
frame made from the limbs Of trees and carries
1t to market. The same wood frame is used
by the porter who carries your trunk from the
station to the hotel instead of using truck or
wheelbarrow.
In other countries the tiger. the leopard and
the elephant inhabit the tropics. In Corea
these animals flourish In climate as severe
as that of Ontario The fur of the Corean
tiger is longer and glossier than that OF his
cousin in the jungles of tropical India, for the
same reason that the coat of raccoon rs finer
In winter than in summer when it is not need
I'd for warmth.
The Corean tiger is royal looking beast,
seen frequently standing in a commanding
position upon a snow-covered mountainside
looking down disdainfully at a passing train
and growing the protesting natives answer to
the shrek of the invading ''mogul."'
Sporting Engishmen have few shooting
boxes In Corea and like to hunt elephants
there because the climate is far more agree
able to them than that of Burma, Ceylon or
Africa, where elephants are found.
Fine bulls loaded with the branches of trees
used as frewood are common sight in the

NEWsGTRL HAS A ROMANCE
Married to Wealthy Man Who Bought
a Book OF Her in New York
Hotel.

New York-When Nan Corrigan,
unti1 few days ago newsgirl at the
Hotel Vanderbilt periodical stand, sold
the first book to young Frank M.
Bates Of Attleboro, Mass, there bud
ded the romance which eliminated in
their marriage at Danielson, Conn.
The wooing, though of short duration.
is said to have been complicated by.
the attentions of a wealthy Buffalo
widower, who had met Miss Corrigan
while she was employed last year at
the Hotel Belmont.
When the news girl took up her
place behind the stand at the new ho-
tel last January the Buffalo man fol-
lowed but he soon lost prestige after
the appearance of Mr. Bates. Monday
evening the former newsgirl packed
her rousseau, and quietly slipped
away from her home without telling
anyone anything about it.
Frank M Gates is widely known in
New England, where he has been
making free use of a large fortune
left him bv his father, Joseph M.
Bates, manufacturer of jewelry at
Attleboro. He had been married

Corea, A Land of Contrasts

streets of Seoul Ponies are ridden, but never
used to draw vehicles as they are in other
countries, and cattle are never killed for beef
Cows, which have been known in Corea for
scores of centuries, are never MIXED, or were
not cntil few years ago, and the Coreans
never knew anything about dairy products.
In most countries the horse is considered a
better mount than the donkey. Not so in Corea.
There the meek and slow moving ass is re-
garded as the best riding animal
Street signs are relied upon in the cities of
other countries, and nowhere are they moro
used than in China, which formerly exercised
a shadowy suzerainty over Corea and was her
neighbor. But in Seoul they were not used at
all before the Japanese came. In almost all
other countries women are fond of going shop
ping and merchants strive to please them.
In Corea it is otherwose. The women regard
shopping as necessary evil, and the mer-
chants keep their goods in closets instead of
on counters and shelves and in showcases
The merchant does not hustle for trade
argue for sale If the customer asks for
something else she is likely to be shown what
the merchant has and told that he has nothing
like what she wants.
The Corean method of lingering the violin
is exactly the reverse to that of western peo
pie. The Corean fingers the instrument near
the bridge with his right hand. With his left
he plucks the strings at the other end and he
uses no bow at all.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1912-07-25

In most countries retailing liquors is not
regarded as a suitable avenue of activity for
an aristocratic woman whose fortune has dwin-
died In Corea lady in distress may operate
saloon without fear Of any social stigma rest
ing upon her And bar is the only kind OF
shop she may keep with impunity Her maid
acts as barmaid but the saloon is given
space in the residence without injuring the
tone of the establishment woman Of social
distinction may make shoes provided she
makes such as the common people wear. To
make shoes for her own class would remove
her from that class
Corean lady in reduced circumstances may
become physician, and to protect the occupa-
ton from overcrowdng the law of Corea, be-
fore the Japanese occupation, provided that no
woman who was not an aristocrat might prac
tice medicine. Powdered tiger claws, bears
gall and other remedies that do not appear in
the pharmacopoeia are prescribed. But the
common custom is to cure disease by making
straw image of the patient and emphasizing
the seat of the affection by making the at
1icted region or member abnormally large.
The menikin is thrown out of DOORS and it is
believed that any one who picks it up will get
the disease
Psychologists agree that this is sometimes
the case, but they disagree with the Corean
physicians as to the relief of the patient by
this means The appearance of the manikins
found in tre street or along the roadside is
often udcrous. When all efforts to cast of
the devil fail the patient is put out OF doors
and left to die.
Even in the amusements of children con-
trasts with western customs are observable

now there and in less than half an hour one
of the hooks had caught one of the monsters
For ten or twenty seconds the victim tugged
vigorously to free himself and then remained
so still that we thought it had escaped. How
ever. with view to examining the bait, we
began to pull in the rope and with it came

stretched out and the harpoonist thrust his
weanon into its fiat forehead, about four to
FIVE inches from the edge of the mouth.
Scarcely had we tied the prey to the side OF
the boat. when the men on the big steamer
began to fire at the sharks swimming all
around US. They did no damage to the sharks
and certainly did not improve our sport for
none Of the monsters appeared again for some
time.

forenoon. and returned to continue the sport
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon a courageous
or very hungry shark attacked the bait four
+irnes before he met his DOOM AS an ex
,,oriment shot him in the belly, AID the bullet
had a much more decisive effect than In the
case Of the first fish. The length Of the first
fsb was SIS feet, and that Of the second rs
feet The former was yelowish-green In color
and the latter was striped like a tiger
On this day the sharks took little notice Of
the large bait floating On the surface and were
evidently looking for prey deeper down. can
find no satisfactory explanation for this as the
weather conditions were practically the same
on both days 1t is possible that the differ
ence in bait was responsible, as the fat hayed
sheep used on the first occasion were white
in color. while that employed on the second
dav was dark in color and devoid of fat. The
natives believe that the sight of the shark is
defective. and that that is the reason the mon
ster rarely attacks the brown-skinned natives
Perhaps they are right
