People<are accustomed to talk Of
crimes as a terrible thing and say
that the son has fallen dreadfully
when he has not fallen at all. He
was raised that way. Right here
in this county, some fathers and
mothers are educating their children
IN the requirements of first class
devils. OF course they do not mean
to do so, but they are, none tho less.
Boys are let run wild, and are let
carouse on the streets until after
midnight and are never put to work.
X is as natural for idle boys to go to
the bad as it is for them to live.
The influence is that way Instead
tf the pure, God-hallowed at
mosphere Of home, many boys are
let breathe the unwholesome air Of
ii crowd Of smokers and listen to the
oaths sworn more often then prayers
ere offered at home. Parents are
responsible for their boys and should
surround thom with attractive home
influences. Train boy to 60 in
good company and he will go there;
let him go wild and his associates
will be anything but good.

thetr history have been destroyed. All scientific nature have been stamped out and a newspaper subsidized by the Japanese Government started in Seoul.
 Beautiful Country
 Korea is an extremely mountainous and beautiful country. Its climate is rainy season comes early in July and lasts until the last of August. At this time one must put up with a little inconvenience for everything gets damp and the clothes one takes off at night are sometimes covered with mould in the morning. IL is an in- teresting country for the traveller; high up in the mountains are Budd- hist temples. where shaven headed their devotions in an uncanny fashion. There are temples which were once the life of the nation, but Christianity seems to be getting a hold in that land and these heather temples are no longer filled with the vast crowds of the olden days. They, however, are none the less interesting. The fertile soil in the lower mountains is covered with wild flowers like the beautiful azalea, which is seen in many co1ors. They are well watered and streams and waterfalls dot the land scape.
 The people especially in the country are for the most part harmless igno-

rant farmers and the women are greatly in need of a suffrage move ment for they have few laws in their favor and their position is very hu> initiating.
 Women Illtreated
 Divorces are unknown to the wom- an, although a man of the higher class may obtain one. Concubinage is a recognized institution and is indulged in by all classes and among the lower classes the wife and mistress may live in the same house, which often causes much unhappiness in the families. The woman works hard and does all sorts of labor, in fact, Korea is a mans country, the chief duty of the woman being the bearing and rearing of chil- dren. There are few modern farming implements in the land, and while the men fish the women are often com pelled to harvest the crops in the most primitive way.
 Eat Anything
 The Koreans may be said to eat anything and cooked anyway. Birds { of the air, beasts of the field, fish from the sea are cooked intact, no cleaning of the inside of the animal bird or fish being required. Dog meat is regarded as a dainty morsel at some seasons. All kinds of vegetables are eaten as well. Their diet makes them martyrs to indigestion. The average Korean doctor has no knowledge ot anatomy. yet he carries needles and

Japanese rulers. Just how long Korea will stand this is a question for even though they are inferior to Japan as fighters they will sooner or later rebel against such treatment. This is one of Japan's tricks to get her country men settled on good land in Korea and the atrocities are to frgihten the people into submission.
 On several occasions they have killed Christian Koreans by standing them in front of a cross and then shooting them as an insult to their religion.
 Proud History
 Korea has a proud history dating back to 1122, B. C.. about the time the Elders of Israel came to Samuel and demanded that a king rule over them. Then a man by the name of Kija came with the fragments of a defeated army from China into Korea. The country at that time was inhabit- ed by wild tribes and the great Kija was soon recognized as their leader and was chosen king. The Kija dynasty continued until 193, B. c. Then came the early Christian era and Korea had wars and changes until SIP, A. D.. when a descendant of the old house of Korea led a rebellion and succeeded in establishing his sway over the en- tire peninsula. During this dynasty books were first printed in Korea by means of wooden blocks and that money was first coined, the metal used being iron. The coinage took place in 996, A. D. Many times Japan tried to conquer Korea only to be driven back across the strait,
 Ever since Japan's first attempt at invasion Korea has hated Japan and this hate has been handed from gen. eration to generation until today Korea is like a volcano ready to burst forth at any minute. In 1892 the famous city of Seoul (fam1lia- to ev- cry traveller in that land). became it's capital and from that time to the pres ent it has been Korea's greatest at traction. In 1876 Korea made her first treaty with Japan and entered upon relations with the outside world. Then came disagreement at home and rebellion supposed to be fomented by

make loyal Japanese citizens out of the Koreans.
 For some reason Korea has been especially favored by our missionaries, so much so that they seem to have mixed politics with religion taking sides with the Koreans to such an extent that one of them has been i'm prisoned and while as yet very little action has been taken on the matter it is pretty certain that the United States will not stand much of this kind of treatment toward her citizens by Japan. It has long been known that Japan has been acting like the "cock of the walk in the Far East ever since the Russo-Japanese War and when she obtained Korea by right of military conquest she felt that she had a perfect right to absorb the Her init Kingdom and to them the Wilson principle, which declares that help less nations are not to be considered pawns in the international game and that no people must be forced under a sovereignty under which it does not wish to live" has thrown a bombshell into Japan's camp. Instead of trying to make the Koreans favorable to the Japanese regime they seem to have commended a sort of reign of terror among the natives who are already ripe for rebellion.
 Korea has an area of SO.OOO square miles and a population of about IT, CO0,0OO. The majority are engaged in agricultural pursuits, but so far Japan has contrived already to own one-third of the most fertile land They have organized a company. the capital of which is said to come from the Japanese treasury to encourage Japanese immigration to Korea The immigrant is furnished free transpor- tation and is provided with land and farming implements when he reaches there. He is expected to pay the company in four yea<s the amount he has received.
 As rice is the great product 1t needs water. and it is said that the new Japanese farmer cuts off the irrigation of his Korean neighbor. which makes the land of the latter worthless and the Korean finds no redress from the

 During the great epidemic of 1793 in Philadelphia, big bonfires were set ablaze in the public squares, with the idea of destroying the 'miasma' that was supposed to be in the air. Mean while the mosquitoes that were doing and spreading the mischief (fetched, doubtless, by sailing vessels from Havana or some other tropical sea- port), were merrily breeding in water barrels and other convenient recep- tacles in the backyards of the citizens, biting the sick. and distributing the plague broadcast. President George Washington fled with his family to Mount Vernon, and did not return until November, when the epidemic had stopped, the mosquito-breeding season being brought 10 an end by frost.

From year to year Its death rate is lessening. In other words. we are getting the better of that greatest enemy of mankind.
