Shopping in Korea is a very grave

the native drink, a liquor obtained
from fermented rice.
Only one article OF the same kind Is
purchased from a single store. 1t
would be an offense against Korean
etiquette to buy n dozen at a time, as
this would deplete the stock too quick.

The prophet Mahomet Is reported
to have said that among men there
have been many perfect, but not
more than four OF the other Sex have
attained perfection-to wit: Asiah,
Mary, Khadijah and Fatima." Aslah
was the wife of the Pharaoh Of the
exodus. She forsook the faith OF her
fathers, on account Of which her hus-
band subjected her to many cruelties.
The Virgin Mary was the second
perfect woman, the prophet stating
that "she had been exalted above all
the women Of the world" KhadIiah
was the first wife of the prophet, "a
princess among women" Fatima, &C.
cording to Mahomet, was the fourth
perfect woman, she being his beloved
daughter.

EDITORIALS
THE
OF ATHLETICS

To many social moralists, the
athletic field looms too big In the
American horizon. The pages of
sporting news and gossip fed out
daily by the press seems not merely
froth, but a positive obstruction
to all serious thought.
They complain that formerly in
terest in sports began to die down
when the baseball q ended.
Now October first brings the pig
skin to the front of the stage, all
winter the sporting page is full of
basket ball, bowling, boxing and
advance dope" for the next
baseball season. To the serious
man, this diverts the popular mind
from interest in politics, social
reform and all weighty subjects.
A Socialist Demosthenes gave
his point of view about it the other
day. He says athletic sports were
originally patronized by the barons
of middle Hges, to divert the peo-
pie from thinking about their
wrongs. A city that became excited
over the old jousts and tournaments
did not worry much about high
taxes or forced military service.
Similarly today he said, "capi-
talism" encourages sports, diverts
the people from thought about
their wrongs and the need of social
reconstruction. Apparently he
would have people stop enjoying
themselves and secure happiness
through making themselves niser-
able.
The afternoon in the ball park
or foot ball field may give az much
pleasure as the millionaire finds
in his motor car. And to many
men whose work does not permit
them to sea many games the news
papers provides the luxury of a
theatre in print.
Through the graphic work Of
tho 81 orting reporter illustrated
by the box scores, he sees the game
almost as clearly as If he were on
the bleachers. Many tedious hours
thus pass, while the titans of the
ball field are struggling before his
minds eye. 1t must indeed be O
lugubrious philosophy that would
deny this diversion to the working
man.

looking for for these fifty years and
more. AS for the rest of us, we soon
saw that it would simmer down to
Abe Ffnkel and Sam, who were the
richest men in town. However, Miss
Mabel wanted it that way, and after
while we got sort of reconciled.
That was the busiest week that
Cy Holmes had ever known, but the
next three were buster. AS for Sam
and Ffnkel, they didn't do ten cents
worth of business day, and didn't
seem to care. Morning, afternoon
and evening they were in Cy Holmes
store buying out his stock. Every
thing was marked at its price, &C
cording to agreement, so that there
could be no crooked business, and
every purchase was marked on a
slate and hung in the middle Of the
store.
"Of course, there was a few who
tried to win Miss Mabel as well as
Sam and Abe, but they soon give up
when, at the end of the first week,
Abe had total of $1,265.19 to his
squirt, and at the end of the second
account, while Sam was running him
close with $1,242. Then Sam made
a squirt, and at the end of the second
week had gone up about $50 ahead of
Abe. By the middle of the third week
it was neck and neck race, along in
the two thousands, and Abe and Sam
had got SO that they wouldn't speak
to each other when they met.
"As for Miss Mabel, she just sat
there behind the counter, when she
wasn't busy getting down things,
which wasn't often, and smiled on all
the boys impartial like.
1--WE had sweepstakes on the re-
suit, as well as a little money out, and
the general opinion was that, al
though Abe had a little more money
than Sam, Sam would win out by
doggedness. Try as hard as he would,
Abe couldn't get away from Sam. By

S17.O9 and Sam was $4,S14 even.
They stood glazing at each other
inside Cy's store, which had been
pretty well Invested of everything.
The shelves was bare, and the show
cases was empty, and they was look
ing around to see what could be had.
" Tll take that boilerp shouts Sam,
pointing to an old, rusted-out boiler
in a corner, which nobody had
thought of buying. How much, Cy?'
Fifty dollars says Cy, and away
goes Sam ahead of Abe Abe looks
round with a worse glare than ever
in his eye.
"Tn take the fittings!' he yeIls,
triumphant like. How much for the
shelves and show cases, Cy?'
Two hundred and fifty answers
Cy, coolly, and Abe gets the lead once
more, and then there didn't seem to
be anything left to be bought. Abe
sits down and pulls out flfty-cent
cigar, and leers at Miss Mabel as
thought he owned her.
The boys had been so interested
that nobody had thought to 90 down
to the coach Office, but just then a
stranger, who had come in on the
stage, strolls into the store. He was a
sort of dude, built like Samson, six
feet five, or Whereabouts, in height
and with muscles like tree trunks
running all over him.
"'Can you oblige me with a pack
age of cigarettes? he asks of Cy,
mild-Hke; and the boys grins. The
cigarettes had gone in the first week,
when the offers were low.
