hopelessness of the outlook for Taft's

sun might have as truthfnlly carried
It's story to Its logical conclusion,
namely. that Taft cannot be nominated.

that 1t is not even remotely possible

Corea, A Land of Contrasts

Contrasts between the customs of Corea and
those OF other countries are striking every
where. In other lands when q man wants to
remove hog from one pasture to another he
drives 1t or tolls 1t with corn. Not so in Corea:
Here stout laboring man catches a full grown
hog, ties its feet together puts it on a wood
frame made from the limbs of trees and carries
it to market. The same wood frame is used
by the porter who carries your trunk from the
station to the hotel instead OF using a truck or
wheelbarrow.
In other countries the tiger, the leopard and
the elephant lnhabit the tropics. In Corea
these animals flourish in a 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 is finer
in winter than in summer when it Is not need
ed for warmth.
The Corean tiger is a royal looking beast,
seen frequently standing in commanding
position upon snow-covered mountainside
looking down disdainfully at passing train
and growing the protesting natives answer to
the shrek of the invading "mogul."
81 Sporting Englishmen 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 firewood are q common sight In the
