forced to remain In a humble kneelng

Until quite recently these trials were
always very one sided and shocllingly un-
just. When a man was brought 10
judge, 1t was taken for granted he was
guilty, and IL he did not confess he was
tortured and made to do so.
Witnesses, too, were openly bribed. In
fact, giving evidence for or against an ac-
cused person meant a living to a portion
of the community, and these witnesses
naturally favored those who paid best.
Punshments varied. If the prisons were
too full, and the condemned could not
pay a fine, they were often given a chance
t. escape, or disappeared by some means.
Though these are things of the past, Co
rean judges, like those of China, possess
a poor idea of the sense of justice.

,EPITOME OF HISTORY

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
TIME history of nations is epitomized
in the recent history of Bulgaria.
4 To rise through sturdy patriotism
and national and racial pride to great
ness; and to fall, through arrogance, too
great confidence and overreaching greed
such has been the life of nations since
nations began to be. But where the story
has usually taken long centuries to tell
the story of Bulgaria has been told in S5
years.
The end of Bulgaria is not yet Bull
gara will live on and on. But her history
Is written. The history of the Roman en-
pre ended before the centuries of Byzan-
tine decadence. The history of Spain end
ed long ago, but the ghost of Spain still
walks. The history of Venice has been
written to the final chapter. but Venice
still exists. There is vet a Turkish en-
pire, but. the story of the Turks is told.
The story of Bulgaria is remarkable for
many things, but for nothing is 1t more
remarkable than for its extreme breyity.
Within half the span of years allotted TO a
mans lifetime This nation has achieved
greatness and has kicked greatness away
The BULGARIAN national existence began
in 1878. The slgnatories of the treaty of
Berlin recognized the new aspirations OF
the untutored Bulgarian tribesmen and
granted them an autonomous government

AN oLp-FAsHIoNEp DRINK.

A New York man was hailed to court Tor
using water from a horse trough to make
lemonade. People who drink lemonade
might go further and fare worse than
those who partool of this mans lemonade.
We are reminded of story about the ori-
gin of the pink lemonade consumed in
great quantities when a circus comes to
town. We don't voueh for the truth of
the story, mind you, but it is said that the
first pink lemonade was the result of US
ing water to make 1t with in which cir
Gus performer had washed his pink tights.

lemonade made with water from horse
trough and the kind made with water
from wash tub. we would prefer the
horse trough variety every time.

If there is a difference between rural

LOCAL MAN HEARS OF
DEATH OF BROTHER IN
THE CITY OF MEXICO

News of the death In the Mexican
revolution of his brother, Edward L.
Harrison, was received yesterday by
". III. Harrison, clerk in Judge w. J,
Robinson's division of the circuit
court. The word came in letter
from another brother, Thomas s. Har'
rison, Of Castleville, Cal, who states,
however, that he Is not certain of
the authenticity of the news and :hal
he has no particulars concerning the
affair.
The local man is inclined to believe
the word, however, for his brother had
been in Mexico about % years, tbe
last heard from him was from the City
Of Mexico, and it is thought quite
likely that he was impressed into Ieili
tary service by one of the Warring
factions in the disrupted republic.
Harrison says his brother undoubt
edly had become a citizen Of Mexico
as he had been employed some years
there as superintendent Of construc
! tion and railway engineer, and none
but citizens were permitted to hold
such positions.
