Korea Gold Mine for japan.

The total output of the Korean
mlnes last year exceeded 10000 900
yen (S75oo,G0W. This amount is far
greater than the gold production of the
mother country says the East and
West News. The three largest gold
mines In Korea-Unsan. Suan and
Chanssong-are managed by foreign
ers. The largest gold mine entirely d.
rected by japanese is the Asano, in Su-
nan district, South Pyongando. Ken
song mine In the same province, man
aged by the Furukawa firm, is equally
prosperous. Hoichang mine, in Song
chon district, is developing greatly.
Most of the gold ore produced In
Korea goes to Japan for refinement,
but refinery has recently been built
Mt Chlnnampo that will save some of
these shipments.

Public Defender to Look Ont for Crimi.
mails Without Funds

A Public Defender is TO be appoint
ed for Windham county. So far as
can be learned this has not been done
as yet. The appointment may come
from the judges of the superior court
AT their annual meeting in June or any
term OF court, ut least 80 days prior to
the opening OF said term. The sp.
pointment must be of an attorney at.
law of at least five years practice.
The Public Defender is TO act as at
torney in the defense OF all persons
charged with crime when such person
is without funds TO employ counsel, A
reasonable sum for work done and ex
penses will be allowed the Defender by
the judge.
This is radical change from the old
method as praeticed in the superior
courts of Connecticut Heretofore
when n criminal term began those
charged with crime not able to afford
counsel had counsel appointed for
them by the Judge from among the
members of the bar present For so
acting fee not exceeding $40 a day
was allowed This latiordeo the law.
yers, in many instances, little easy
money and the opening of criminal
session attracted many mem bers, espe.
eially younger members, of the bar in
the hopes that they might be fortunate
enough TO get such an appointment.
The new method will put an end TO
such appointments and fees.

hncsleberry Train Wouldn't Wait
So Charlie Pumped the Hand Car

There Is very popular station agent
that holds down Il job somewhere be-
tween Putnam and Blackstone. He
lives in Putnam on the outskirts OF the
city where no trolleys run. Every
morning he boards old No. liz leaving
Putnam at 7.65 for the way station
where he is boss of the.roost. One
morning this week he stepped oil the
train at East Thompson TO get some
berries. W hen he returned old H.
was pulling down the track with its
desdhead passenger left behind.
Ii the gentleman did not make his
station ii would be agentless and that
wouldn't do. a special was run down
the track for the official. 1t wasn't
private, brass trimmed ear. 1t wasn't
day coach. Ii wasn't even ca
bose. The special was an ordidary
hand car such as the section men use.
Raising his white handkerchief on the
front end to show that il was an off,
cial special Charlie gave the order,
"All aboard, and on he got. He was
engineer, brakeman, flagman, and
conductor, all in one, and manned the
pump himself, working his passage TO
his ,station several miles away, He
arrived without mishap carrying
with him an sppetite that would make
q few pounds Of roast beef look like an
egg sandwich.

USE PLATES AFTER IS YEARS
Photographers Find They Do as Good
Work as New Ones Without In
f creasing Length Of Exposure.

Many photographers hive boxes Of
plates that they are afraid TO use for
fear Of failure, yet are laath 70 throw

IL years old may be in perfect condi-

Charles and Joseph yallot take about
40 dozen Lumiere orthechromatic 4

and they never use them all. Recently
they took out their old plates, some Of
which they had bought rs years ago.
and tested them on landscapes Of some

LIQUOR ADVERTISEMENTS.

Speaking for the newspapers which

MIR. Schermcrhorn, editor OF the De

1--WE believe that II newspaper car
ries on its first page the story Of n
tragedy caused by liquor and on an
other page guaranteed cure for
drink, and on still another page asks
everybody to have a drink-that the
whole process is as inconsistent as
when the nurse marrles the under
taker to catch the patient coming and
going. We believe that for n news
paper to take liquor advertising is to
do behind the bar what the bartender
Is doing In front Of the bar"

A New York advertising journal
gives some interesting testimony anent
the decreasing popularity of drinking
among business men. The entire al

There were something like 1000 reg
ular meals served In the club rooms
during those 20 working days, not
reckoning dinner parties. This makes
the average bill for booze not over
elght-tenths OF cent per person per
meal. In other words not over one
diner in forty took II drink with his
