297 Died From Fire.

Nearly three hundred people
in North Carolina met their death
last year by fire. In 1920 there
were 18 lives lost in confagra-
tons, while ZIG died from other
burns The total was 297. For
1919 there were "a lives lost in
confagrations, and 276 from
other burns. The total was 301,
just four more than for last year.
The statistics were announced
by the State Board of Health last
week.
The majority of the deaths
from burns were children, re-
sulting FROM the accidental catch
ing fire of their clothing either
from open fires or playing with
matches.
During the past two years the
records show one death by sui
eide by burning, one of the few
deaths from this cause ever re-
corded in the State.
The death rate for nearly
"
every disease is being steadily
reduced, according to the sta
stistics of the Board of Health,
but the accident hazard, as the
figures for deaths by burning
show, remains practically I'M
changed.

My Sister.

I'm dreaming now Of Sister, sweet
Sister,
For the thought of her is one that never
dies.
She is sleeping in the valley
And the hooking birds are singing
where she lies. 4
Oh well yet remember
When we gathered in the cotton side
by side;
Twas in the mild October
And the hooking birds were singing far
and wide.
The hooking birds are singing over her
grave now
And feel like one forsaken since my
sister died"

Then came over here on a Japa-

me. | arrived in Fusan one Fri
day and came directly to Seoul.
Soon after | reached Japan Mar
quis Okumu asked me to visit
his beautiful home for an inter-
view, and later asked me to be
photographed with him. Soon
my Japanese friends among the
University Professors, biologists
and others began to arrange trips
for me to various parts of Japan
which occupied me for six weeks
and | have just come over to
Korea with letter of >introduc-
ton from Baron Saito, and every
thing possible is being done to
serve me. At Tokyo | dined
with my old Harvard pupil of 81
years ago, Mr.. Kawasaki, presi-
dent of the Kawasaki Bank.
Many others were very kind tc
me in Japan. The first man to
call on Inc was DR.. Juicki Soyeda,
one of Japan's greatest scholars,
educated at Cambridge. While
Twas in Tokyo the Carolina men
there organized The Tar Heel
Club of Japan and entertained
me at a banquet. But the, most
wonderful thing that happened
was a banquet in the City Hall
at Oita City, at which the Gov. OF
the province, the Mayor of the
city and a number of ladies were
present, including the Governors

Methodist mission, two ladies'
who are associated with her and
Mr.. Morgan's wife and mother.
A thing unheard of in that prov
ince before. Among the guests

sented me with a poem. Soon
after my arrival DR.. K, Takimi,
a physician who is an artist by
avocation called and gave me one
of his pictures. | have had poems
pictures and carvings in ivory
made in my presence and given
to me. One of the most interest
ing pieces of statuary in Japan
is a large ivory carving entitled
odd Man Teaching Religion,
which is most wonderful and
offered for sale at $1,000 yen.
Yet the sculptor who is still liv-
ing does not mention this work,
but boasts that he "once carved

by the nation to the dedication
of their late Emperor Meiji

new shrine to his memory. All
missionaries speak of him in the
highest terms as a wise and good

The japanese are as greedy
for learning as the Scotch ever
were. They have most excellent
schools everywhere and they
tcompel the children to attend
them. Only those who excel in
their studies can get into the
more advanced schools and the
competition for such opportunity
is great. The pupils of all the
schools have week end excursions

Isn't the Law Wonderful!

A Belgian paper tells of woman
living at Mons who is denied mar
riage license because she does not
know her name, age or birthplace and
therefore "has no legal existence"
The case is analogous to that of a
man named MahOny who was hanged
some years ago When the prison
physician pronounced him dead, the
body was cut down and delivered to
the relatives. Life was not extinct,
however, and a few hours later the
man was quite himself again. He was
shot by a murderer some time after
ward. but the assassin could not be
brought TO justice because as the
court said. "Mahony was legally dead,
and therefore could not be killed sub
sequently by anybody"
