OLE BULL CHANGES GRIEG's
 MIND ABOUT THE MINISTRY

One day Edward Grieg, a lad of 13, or soL saw a man on horseback ride mn to the house and. greeting him was stirred to the roots of his soul when he learned it was Ole Bull.
 Ole was Edwards herp of music. and he listened to the tales of the great violinist's travels with all his cars and with a heart working over- time.
 Ole Bul1 was quick to catch Ed wards aptitude for music and after the boy had played, asked what his voung ambitions were.
 Now. Edward wanted to be pro- phet and preach to people from tall nnlnit He was a spiritually mind- cd boy and hated school for its coarseness and vulgarity. He neg lected his lessons and ran away tc his music whenever he could, always drea ming of the day when he should have q church and be a pastor. When Ole Bull, after whispered conversation with Edwards parents turned to the lad and said that he must go to Leipsic to study and be- come a great musical artist. the con- tagion of Ole's character carried Ed. ward straight into an enthusiastic re- solve to do just that thing. And of he went.

WHEN RAILROADS ENTERED.

A physician who has lived in Korea throughout the transition period is au- thority for the statement that sleep ing on the roadbed was so common in the early days of railroading that several slumberers were decapitat- ed.
 Also the Koreans knew nothing of glass. They supposed that what ever you could see through you could put your head through and many car windows were broken and heads bruised during the early days. The officials were forced to paint a white bar across every window. to teach Korea the substantial nature of glass. And in a railroad yard in Fusan l saw an old car with a horizontal white "trip painted at eye-level along the series of windows.
 When the trolley cars in Seoul were started a drought occurred.

THE SURPLUS OF LAWS

ZINE EDWARD Trefz secretary the Chamber of Commerce
 of the United States has been counting the laws passed Congress and the state legislatures during the five years just past and finds the whole number of laws or the period
 Comes the comment of it reason able and unreasonable with respect to what termed !" "the law crazness of the American people,"
 The comparison usually made with the statutes passed by the British parliament by the chief legislative body of some European country and takes note of the difference in method, indicated by state system sf
 It is probable that the total number of statutes not very different between the United States and other equal population In the United States things require formal act of legislature which done by small local bodies the governing councils of cities the act of gover and their advisers
 Fhe laws Connecticut numerous for instance because Connecticut cities have little The construction of wa charering of corporation the authorization of issue municipal bonds the legazaton illegal acts and ed of other things which, Europe done by local bodies local ofcer here by the legislatures The Formidable it is unexplained But the unexplained count is not representative of conditions between this and other
 There reason which applies statutes laws in hiscountry than in Europe which the writers of Flaw crazness and psuedo drinkers seldom consider W ,
 When the British people arrive at the conclusion that they want vorkmens sao votes for women local option regulation public utilities any thousand other things their parliament single statute which will the entire realm But in order that there may be equality conditions throughout the States with respect any esemaers there must be at least 49 statutes by the tion and 48 to cover the several states
 Thus extraordinarily large multiplication of statutes que enreiy W the federai form O ana the tremen duplication unavoidable unless the relations between states and nation o change by funding the power of the states Congress unless the country willing to live der unequal laws. @qt. H3 rE
 Since it would be great evil that important laws of nation permanently unequal it that large portion of the 62 laws complained against by Mir Trefz result of intelligent reaction the sities of particular environment
 Not all of these laws duplicated times they were heoa number of laws assuming that the work had done the whole country by single parliament would be 297 statutes, an average of 250 year.
 Allowing for statutes made by legislatures which elsewhere would be by less significant tribunals and for the dupica ton growing out of the system of the states it probable that this country fewer laws than other equal importance population and the complex of it's interests
 which proves that legislators likely crazy as statisticians are to be thoughtless
