And jerkeI my arm most cut;
But stranger, take seat and I'll

And driv'ir very slow, for just
A day or SO before;

You know that big old railroad cut
Down thar at Parsons knoll?
Right thar l saw a great big sign,
Raised high upon pole.
And so l stopped to read the thing,
To find out what it said
The hoss-es stopped right on the

And this is what I read. I it5a

Made crossing very plain;
Old Noah Webster would not dare
The better to explain.
Railroad crossing now / have,

And me there lookin all the time,
And readin like a book.
The next was OUT spells out,
That made the two lookout,
That made me kind G. curious like,
To know what twas about.
The next was just plain FOR and the,
And while | Spelt the rest;
A thunder bolt jist scooped me up
An throwcd me to'ard the west.
The hoss-es went to Davy Jones,
The wagon went to smash;
And I was histed seven yards
Above the highest Ashe.

For bout day or two;
Put though Pm crippled UP a heap,

Rev. w. III. Foote, Canadian Pres

names several villages in which the
homes, schools or churches of Chris

that in one Of them % people were
shot and the bodies burned. Those
cases, he declares, are absolutely

Quoting Koreans as his authority,

were their joy. They were not pa
triotic soldiers, and disapproved of
the church taking part In politics."
Miss Emma M. Palethorpe Of On

oyterian mission at Yongjung, tells
In her statement of the execution Of
nve men from the village of Suchilgo,
VINO. she says, were led by the Jap
anese soldiers to the top of a hill
about three miles from Yongiung and
there put to death.
In the top of the HILL" she de-
clares, there is quite a large hollow
not visible from the road or village.
The victims were made to sit at the
bottom of this, where they were
siashed at with swords. 1t Is reported
by an eyewitness that two swords
were broken and then the awful work
was finished with baXonets. Then the
loose earth was pushed down from the
sides Of the hollow to cover the mu-
tilated bodies"
In answering inquiries at the JAP
anese war Office, Lieutenant Colonel
Hata told press correspondent,
that the number Of Japanese troops
employed in the Chienta affair was
5000, not $4,000. Villages had been
burned, he said, but only In cases
where the majority Of the inhabitants
were known to be in league with the
outlaws.
Referring to the charge that an or
ganized attempt was made ito wipS
out the whole Christian community
Colonel Hata said that 1t was possibl,
that majority of those who had beer
executed were Christians, but the,
were not punished for their religion
but for banditry and rebellion. N,
charge was made against the mission

| Colonel Hata, while admitting tina
harsh measures had been adopted, sal,
bad conditions had existed n that dis
