Charles White in the current issue Of
Harper's Weekly. "The harmless.

times stands in her highly hygienic
stall, which is floored with concrete
and frequently scrubbed. The COW
herself Is curried and brushed every
day. Where Is the haymow? Gone;

AMERICAN EMPRESS OF KOREA
Her Son Would Have Been Ruler But
for Annexation Of the Country
by Japan.

The empress Of Korea, who died re-
Gently, was born in Appleton. Wis, the
daughter of a Methodist minister, q
Circuit rider" who made Appleton his
home for a few years before the war,
says the New York Evening Post.
The Rev. Mr.. Brown was a handsome
southerner, and his wife a woman OF
exceptional beauty, who transmitted
her beauty to her daughter Emily,
who was born. in 1861. Shortly after
the war, when Emily was about FIVE
years old, the family left Appleton;
and ten years later the Rev. Mr.. Brown
took his wife and daughter to Seul, the
capital Of Korea, and was said to have
been the first Protestant missionary
to enter the capital OF the Hermit
Kingdom. The young Appleton girl
soon learned the language of the Ko-
reans. and acted as interpreter in deal
ings between the missionaries and the
government. She had a remarkably
sweet voice and attracted many ma
tives to her fathers mission by her
wonderful singing Of hymns. The en-
peror heard of the remarkable beauty
and wonderful voice Of the American
girl and commanded her to enter his
harem, which she Indignantly refused
to do. Two years later, however, when
the mission was in financial straits,
she accepted the emperor's offer and
became one of his wives, with prom
ise Of marriage in her fathers mission
as soon as conditions permitted. When
the American wife had borne the en-
peror a son and his queen had died,
Emily Brown was proclaimed queen,
the ruler Of Korea then being a king,
and when he proclaimed himself en-
peror she became empress and re-
ceived the name of ON, which, in the
Korean language, means Dawn Of the
Morning or "As Beautiful as the Ris-
ing Sum-" Emily Brown was the en-
peror's favorite wife, and her son was
made the heir apparent, and, but for
the annexation Of Korea by Japan, he
would have become emperor on the
death Of the father.
