TRIES KOREAN LEPROSY CURE
Leper Confesses He Killed Boy to OBJ
tain Human Flesh to Cure
Disease.

Seoul, MISUNDERSTANDING his act by
the Korean superstition that the eat
ing of human flesh is cure for lep-
rosy, Korean leper named Sin
YungSyun has confessed to the muir
der of a five-year-old boy, whose multi
ated body was discovered in a field in
South Cholla province. According to
the police, the accused also admitted
that with another leper he killed a
girl in the mountains on September Is,
and that both had eaten of her flesh.
Lepers in Korea hitherto led a mis-
cradle life. With the exception of
those cared for by missionaries in a
small hospital near Fusan, they have
been left to roam at will and exc out
their own living. The superstition as
to cannibal cure is very general.
Count Terauchi, until recently gov
ernor general, took up the leper prob
lem vigorously last year and as a re-
suit an island called Sorok, off the
southern coast of Korea, has been Sc
lected as the seat of a leper asylum.
1t is proposed to take in at first some
hundreds of leperS selected from the
10 provinces in proportion to the num-
Der in each. During their stay on the
island the lepers will be taught mod
ern farming.

DR.. Henry Van Dyke, former ambas-
sador to Holland, with his little daugh-
ter Katrina, and pet dog.
The poem, '"The Name Of France"
and reprinted from the Art World, was
written by Mr.. Van Dyke and dedicat-
ed to France. The poem follows:
THE NAME OF FRANCE.
Give US a name to fill the mind,
With the shining thoughts that lead man
kind,
The glory of learning, the joy of art,
A name that tells of a splendid part
In the long, long toll and the strenuous
fight
OF the human race to win its way
From the ancient darkness into the day
OF freedom, brotherhood, equal right
A name like a STAR a name of light,
/ give you France!
Give us a name to stir the blood
With a warmer glow and a swifter flood
At the touch of a courage that conquers
fear
A name like the call of trumpet, clear
And silver-sweet and iron-strong,
That brings three million men to their feet
Ready to march and steady to meet
The foe who threatens that name with
wrong
A name that rings like a battle-song,
l give you France!
Give us a name to move the heart,
With the strength that noble griefs i'm
part
A name that speaks of the blood out
poured
To save mankind from the sway of the
sword
A world
The burden of sacrificial strife
Where the cause at stake is the worlds
free life
And the rule of the people everywhere
A name like vow, name like prayer
I give you France!

The victory was not regarded
so much a triumph for Eastern play
ing methods and court tactics over the
Californian, in this particular instance,
as it might have been had Williams

Lindley Murray or another of the rip

The reason for this is plain, for
Johnston himself is one of the sound
est of players, both as to production
of stroke and court generalship. He
does not place his reliance on rushing
the net at every opportunity, on ire

that is best in lawn tennis.
The striking fact, as brought out in

that the men whose game is typically

EAST AGAIN SUPREME
California Tennis Players Bow to

Fitting That Richard Norris Viii.

Should Meet in Final Cham

1t looks as if the East had once more
regained her supremacy in the tennis
world. The comets and meteors from
fame on the courts have passed or are
about TO pass. A review Of the season
but recently closed, with Richard Nor
ris Williams ii of Philadelphia re-
gaining the national title he had lost
the year before to William NJ. Johnston
of California, and the men from the
far West being repulsed all along the
line would seem to augur such thing.
California sent its best to do battle
with the East, and when it came down
to final round Johnston, the cham
pion from San Francisco was pitted
against Williams of Philadelphia, for
mer champion, and it was fitting that
these two should contest for the high
est hOnOrS on the courts, for both had
previously shown their right to settle
the question of supremacy.

before Williams was hailed as cham

sity. Brown recently accomplished a
necessary journey from Fort Wayne,
Ind, to New York city, a distance OF
nearly 1000 miles over the Lincoln
highway, riding practically the whole
journey in automobiles, at a total
money expense Of $1.55. The trip was
completed in just seven days.
According to the students story, he
was stranded in Fort Wayne and was
without money only few days before
he was due in New York to enter upon
his course. While he was sitting near
a water tank contemplating the chances
of beating" his way on a freight, he
saw an automobile speeding along the
road that paralleled the tracks. He
watched it pass out of sight; then his
inspiration came.
He counted his money and found
that he had $3.50. His next act was to
visit barber shop and get a bath, a
shave and a haircut. He also invested
in clean shirt, collar, clothes brush
and box of shoe polish. He had his
hat cleaned and blocked and a new
band put on it. Seeking q tailor he
sat with blanket wrapped around him
while his clothes were being sponged
and pressed. All these expenditures
left him $1.65.
Found the Game Easy.
After walking along the Lincoln
highway to the outskirts of Fort Wayne
Brown saw his first chance coming
down the road. At the steering wheel
was a huge bulk of a man with tor
tOise shell spectacles and coarse black
whiskers. AS it turned out, he was a
physician answering an emergency
call of a patient. Brown threw up his
arm and signaled the doctor to stop.
MAY 1 ride with you until you turn
OFF," he asked.
"Where are you going,"
New York city,"
The physician, with look of amaze
ment, threw open the door and Brown
got in. Then the student told his bene-
factor that he expected to reach the
metropolis in a very short time by rid
ing in different automobiles. The doc
tor became so interested in the young
mans story that he ran ten miles be-
yOnd his patient.
That night Brown slept in barn.
The next morning, after he had
groomed two horses, a farmland
brought him plate of fried ham and
potatoes. By six o'clock he was rid
ing on a milk truck. At nine O'Clock
an insurance agent invited him to ride
in his car until noon. In the after
noon he rode with a schOolteacher
whose machine he had cranked. When
it grew too dark to travel he stopped
at farmhouse and paid for his
nights lodging by helping to husk
corn.
Walked Only Few Miles.
The longest ride he had in one auto
mobile was 125 miles. The shortest
ride was less than 125 feet. This was
in the Pennsylvania mountains, when
an old farmer and his wife, learning
that their passenger was going to New
York city, feared he might be high
wayman, and made him get out.
