Hundred Million of Stamps of Doz-
en- Different Styles Are Now
All Printed.
DESIGNS ARE ENTIRELY NEW
Tiny Engravings Represent Scenes
of Activity in Postal Department
and in Industries Affected

The new parcel post stamps, a sup
ply of which is daily expected at the
local postoffice for use with the in,
auguration of the new system on Jan,
uary LIST, are described as the finest
series of postage stamps ever issued
| by any government of the world.
One hundred million stamps, it is
expected, will be delivered to the co.
600 or more postotfices throughout the
country at the first distribution. Their
preparation and distribution entails
an immense amount of labor, and if
first of the year it will mean plenty
of good hard work.
There are twelve different designs
of parcel post stamps of as many diff
ferent values, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, Is, 20,
%, so. IS cents and $1-all printed
in red ink. There are postage due
stamps printed in l 2, 3, 5, 10 and
% cent values in green ink.
The stamps at tie line of perfora-
ton are only one inch by one and one
half inches in dimensions. All but
the postage due stamps are ornament
ed with eXquisitely delicate engrav-
ings representative of the varied ac
tivities of the postal service or of the
industries whose productions will be
benefited by the privileges of the
parcels post.
The postotfice clerk is the subject
of the tiny engraving that ornaments
the 1 cent stamp. The clerk is shown
distributing mail in many bags of a
mail rack. illustrating the system in
vogue in all big postotfices.
On the 2 cent stamp is shown the
city letter carrier at work. He is at
the front door of city residence,
waiting for response to his ring, to de-
liver the mail.

the barrent cliffs of old Korea.

many ways. Perhaps that which
more quickly attracts the eye of the
newcomer is the garb or dress of this
quiet people. White prevails every
where and is the garment for serv-
ice as well as for the holiday. The
section men along the railroad still
cling to this sacred custom the same
as the man of leisure who walks the
streets for his health. Travelling as
they do almost entirely on foot, they
dot the hills and Wales of the father
land in a way that is picturesque in
deed.

loosely over the head with the empty
sleeves dangling at the sides. Long
since Korea was in the midst of war;
certain city was threatened with
destruction All the available men
had gone out to do service. The
need was so great that the women,
disguised as men, entered the con-
f1ict and assisted in great victory.
Since that time many women, in
honor of this deed of herOism, have
worn the coat of red and green.
1t would seem that after such noble
service, the men would be very par
ticular about showing respect and
courtesy to the women. But it is not
so excepting with the christians. Men

rean superstition not unlike the one
just given.
In the long ago, SO the story runs,
a pony, weary, hot and thirsty from
its long day of unusual burdens, over
filled it's stomach with cold water
from the drinking trough. In short
time the animal was dead. OF
course, cold water did it. What cold
water did to one beast it will do to
ALL If we want to save our animals
we must never permit them to drink
cold water or eat cold food, lest they
die.
From that day to this these faith
full burden bearers dine on hot foods
and slack their thirst with water that
has been heated.
A familiar sight in Korea are the
graves scattered everywhere. Each
family is law unto itself in this re-
spect. They bury their dead wherev-
er they choose, SO long as the place
has not been secured by some one
else. In growing fields and small
grouped groves the rounded mound is
a constant reminder of passing life.
The peculiar practices of the heath
en- doctors are surely disgusting to
the westerner. Truly of them it could
be said that although they may have
many enemies in this world, they are
not so many as in the next.
The general method employed in
relieving pain is to insert needle at
the spot where it is said to exist and
by this process let it out. 1t seems
that the removal of the needle is not
necessary to effect cure, so very Of
ten it is allowed to remain. Just be-
fore our arrival at Pyeng Yang, DR..
Anderson of the Union hospital had
operated on man having tifty-two
of these needles in his abdomen. When
asked if he came because they were
paining him he made reply that he
was beginning to be a little uneasy
about them.
All praise to the christian doctors
who are relieving the physical dis
tresses of this people and dispelling
the cloud of superstition that has so
long enveloped their lives.
We have passed through the Her
NIT nation and in spite of her peculi-
ar customs and strange ways, have
been impressed with a strength of
character back of it all. Their adj |
herance to truth, their loyalty to right |
when once it is known, the grasping
of high ideals and clinging to them
under most trying circumstances have
left their impress for good that we
shall not soon forget.

REAL ESTATE MEN
IN BAD LIGHT
ACCUSED OF TRYING TO POISON
INDIAN BY GIVING HIM WHISKY,
ETC.

Hugo, Okla, April 30.-Warrants
were sworn out in Justice Winches-
ter's court at Forney, seven miles
west of here by Fred Cook, special
government officer, charging V. Bro
naugh and Ed Reed of this city with
attempted murder. The allegation IS
that Bronaugh and Reed went to the
home of Ellis Wood, an Indian Of
this county, on March 27, and gave
Wood bottle of whisky.
Wood did not drink any of the
whisky for some reason, but had a
chemical analysis made which, ac'
cording to the allegation, shovel
the whisky contained 10 per cent
carboic acid, enough to kill man
in half an hour.
Wood is the guardian Of Edgar
Wood, his minor son, who owns some
property in this county. The war
rant was served on Bronaugh Wed
nesday morning, but Reed had gone
to the country and the warrant had
not been served Wednesday. Bro
naugh gave bond for his appearance
at an examining trial and friends d
Reed state he will appeal also.
Bronaugh is the junior member oI
the firm of Simmons & Bronaugh

is also a real estate dealer.
