In Berlin in 1915. believe me. our Swed-
lsh athletes are developing rapidly, and
the same can he said OF the continental
athletes, especially those OF Germany
and Finland. The material I had 20
work on for the Stockholm Olympiad
was inexperienced. II will be an easier
task to build a team for the Berlin
Olympiad and you can bet that Sweden
Will be right up in front.
In my opinion the United states never
will make 1nother cleanup at an
Olymplad. The Americans probably will
win future Oiymp.ads. but never by
the large scores that have marked their
victories in the past. Europe Is in the
throes OF an athletic awakening. and
there will be some wonderful fea.s per-
formed over there In the next few years.

EGGS BY THE YARD.
Korea Also Produces Oysters That
Weigh Ten Pounds Each.

While in the orient a correspondent
had occasion TO call on friends who
lived near Seoul. the principal city OF
Korea. He tells the following story:
One morning my hostess. while Civ.

ed four yards of eggs accompanied
the steward that day on his marketing
trip. and when the eggs were asked
for the grocer reached down In bar
rel and brought out the end OF a
large straw rope lie measured of the
required length on the counter. Just as
a dry goods store clerk would measure
of cloth. rolled It up and put 1t In the
basket without n smile The eggs were
inside OF this hollow straw rope, with
a string tied on the outside OF It be-
tween each egg. This effectually pro-
tected the eggs from being broken
while handling.
Another day my hostess ordered two
"small' oysters for dinner. This or
der caused me TO wonder little. for
knew that there would be seven to
dine, besides the servants. but when
the oysters arrived all was explained.
for one weighed four and half
pounds. and the other Ave pounds. On
inquiry was informed that some Of

Korea weigh as much as ten pounds

M0SBY FLED WITH HIS MEN.
An Attack That Wholly pemoraIized
the Partisan Rangers.

Colonel John S. Mosby. commander
OF the Partisan rangers. who gave
such dashing service In the southern
cause. told of an amusing incident In
which he figured.
In the summer OF 1854 when General
Phil Sheridan was In the valley of the
Shenandoah he found himself much
harassed by Mosby. who was continu-
ally cutting Off his supply trains. An
army cannot fight ON an empty stom-
ach, and Mosby knew II. One bright
morning Mosby heard that long sup
ply train was winding Its way down
the valley. BY noon the rangers In
their gray uniforms were gathered at
the forks Of the valley pike. watching
for the head OF the wagon train to ap-
pear.
Presently n cloud of dust was seen
rising far up the road. and as tho wind
blew It aside the Confederates caught
sight OF line OF men In blue escorting
a caravan OF numbering wagons drawn
by mules. Instantly Mosby gave the
order to run little howitzer up on tho
side OF a hill and unllmber It. AS soon
as the gun had opened fire the rest Of
the men were to make cavalry charge
and throw the train into confusion.
The rangers Jerked the gun into po-
sition and began TO swab il out Sud-
denly the man with the swab gave a
shrill yell. seized the seat OF bis panta-
looms and fed down the hill and out
into the road. Almost in the same
moment the other man at the gun
abandoned It. He seemed to be fight
ing ut the air as he disappeared over
a stone wall.
The suffers wagons were creeping
nearer. and Mosby did not know what
to think OF such extraordinary conduct
He ordered four more men TO the gun.
but hardly had they reached II when
they. too. yelled. began TO beat the air
madly with their hats and took TO
flight
Squirting his horse over the stone
wall. Mosby rode toward the gun, but
his stay was short The howltzer stood
Just over hornets nest. and those
busy insects We're resenting the intru-
sion. They had repealed the invaders
on foot. and now they swarmed on
Mosby's horse TIL the maddened ami.
NAL tore OF down the pike ON a run.
Then they turned their attention to
the rest OF the troop.
Their attack was so vicious that the
rangers gave up any idea OF standing
by the gun. They scattered far and
wide. and 1t was an hour before they
returned. When they did the wagon
train had safely vanished in the dis.
lance. So the hornets saved the day
for Sheridan.-Youths Companion.
