Interesting Report Made to Uncle
Sans Museum Regarding Peoples
Warfare Against Evil Demons.

A fascinating report has been made
20 Uncle Sans National Museum at
Washington by DIR. /. NJ. Casanowlcz
on the sorcery Of Korea. He describes
the superstltions Of the people regard
ing evil demons, which they believe
constantly beset them. The Koreans
believe the air, their dwellings, the
forests--in short, every thing and
every place-is the abiding place of
spirits. These spirits are all evil and
have for their sole purpose the annoy
ance OF the people Of the earth. All
bad luck, all illness, all prlvatlon and
hardship is due 10 the malevOlence of
the demons.
They have two classes Of persons to
exercise these spirits. One is COM
posed Of men called Pansus, the other
OF women called Mutangs.
The Pansus are necessarily blind
men. The Koreans share with other
peoples the belief that persons de-
prived Of sight are given familiar
spirits which enable them to see with
an inward eye more than the normal
person can envislOn. The Mutangs
are outcasts. These women belong to
the lowest stratum Of Korean society,
and although despised socially to the
extent that they are not even per
mitted to enter cities, they are feared
and respected because of their powers.
These women go into their business
because they declare they feel n call.
They usually pair with the Pansu
men, 'sorcerers and sorceresses going
about together. Their chief business
consists in healing the sick. The re-
port says that the people of Korea
pay these exOrcists annually approx
mately S75OOOO for their services.
The blind Pansus are believed to
have attained a mastery over the evil
spirits and therefore can control |
them. The Mutangs have influence |
with them because they are reputed |
to be on friendly terms with the splr-
Its and can cajOle and wheedle them. |
the Pansus and the Mutangs
the people feel confident of salvation
from bodily evils.
The National Museum has come
into possession, through the agency
1f W. w. Rockhill, formerly minister
10 China, Of some Of the costumes and
worn by Mutangs at
heir incantations. They are extreme
v rich. These women go to the houses
If sick persons and there sing and
lance for hours on end until the evil
'pirits depart from the afflicted one.
Their attendants beat constantly upon
lrums shaped like hour glasses.

STOCK OF POTATOES SHORT
Uncle Sam Finds That Supply on Hand

New York.-The swift trail over
which Miss Louise Sachen had been
'mushlng" after her arrival In New
York some time ago announcing she
was from the wilds Of Alaska, seeking
the delights OF civilization. slowed up
materially n week later when "NlclS"
Sachen, laborer Of Kansas City, Mo-,
claimed her as his daughter.
Far from being placer miner in an
ice-girded gulch, the man who says
he is her father is an honest day
workingman in Kansas City, where
the only ice attainable comes from the
refrigerating plant, and where the
stoclSyards provide the chief touch of
real nature.
He said that his daughter, Louise,
had indeed been in Alaska. She had
passed two years up there, he said,

not the dog trails over the hills. OF

wore. So she took her savings, $1,000,
and left for New York, where her
dreams were realized, until Nick Sa-
chen, her father, of Kansas City, broke
them up.
Miss Sachen was the 1917 sensation
In New York. She put It across" as
she phrased II. on newspapers, society,
and the jaded iongleurs Of the cab
arets who welcomed her novelty and
innocence as they would a fresh sum

They had laughed joyously when
Miss Sachen, 'the girl who grew up
with sledge dogs and could mush the
trail like an Eskimo" told them:
"Town Stacks Up Pretty Well"
Daddy promised me l should see
the States when l grew up. This
town stacks up pretty well beside
Kuyukuk."
"Queen of the SHOWS" the writer's
dubbed the wondering young girl as
they opened her eyes TO the marvels
of New York.
"What impresses you most in New
York;" a reporter had asked her.
''The women, of course" she had
replied. The vast number OF pretty

do they not rouge in Alaskan" she
was asked.
''Why paint roses in your cheeks
when you can put them there by bet

frozen north" replied. "Out with US,

red in her cheeks she goes out be-
hind the dog sledge and takes a mush
down the trail"

nabobs who clustered about her and
invited her to their homes, had given
her the name of Queen" when she

Her name began to travel and finally
