With a charming climate and at the very doors of the world's best markets, nothing like it can be found on this continent today. There is now offered for sale a tract of 180,000 acres of this fine land. This magnificent property, large enough for 12,000 farms and homes, is being practically given away to 12,000 persons who apply for farms before they are all sold. Remember that while they last.

Had Decided Freely to Give Their Lives to Warn Emperor of What They Considered Grave Danger. Out of Korea comes a story of the fanatical devotion shown to the shad ow emperor of the land by those of his subjects who still resent the role of the Japanese and view each move of -.their virtual masters with deep suspicion. In this Instance several pa triots were willing to let themselves be run over by a railroad train if only his majesty might be warned by their death that he was flying Into the trap set for his feet by Prince Ito. A month ago the emperor announced that he was going to leave Seoul and take a trip to Fusan, the most easterly city of the peninsula and wholly a Japanese settlement This was an unprecedented thing for the emperor to do, since for countless gen erations Korean kings and emperors had been content to sit in the hall of congratulations In the Mulberry palace at Seoul and let subjects from other parts of the land come to them to pay homage. Despite the protests of the patriots Prince Ito, who was engineer ing the trip, ruled and the emperor set out over the Seoul-Fusan railway to visit the seaport at the other terminal It became known by the Koreans along the route that the Japanese bat tleship Azuma was to anchor in the harbor of Fusan and that a part of the welcoming ceremonies that were to occur in Fusan was to be a luncheon to the emperor on board the, ship. Immediately the rumor grew to the conviction that as soon as Prince Ito had the emperor safely on the Azuma's deck anchor would be hoisted and the last of the line of Korean rulers would be whisked off to Japan, there to die in a dungeon. Perhaps the 'simple Koreans had some justification for believing that the crafty resident-general would like to execute a coup like that; certainly the hand of the Japanese had made such startling moves on the imperial chess board at Seoul that even a du plication of the murder that was done in the Mulberry palace some years ago at the instance of a Japanese minister would not seem improbable to the Ko reans. At any rate the emperor had his luncheon on board the battleship In Fusan harbor and was put safely back on his own territory again. During the course of the luncheon Prince Ito made conversation by telling the pup pet ruler that he had learned that at Taiku, one of the large towns on the line of the railway, a party of pa triots, convinced that the emperor was going to his doom, had determined to lay themselves on the rails as his train approached the station. They believed that by this act of sacrifice their monarch might be made to see that he was approaching immediate danger. The patriots had been dissuaded by a very material Japanese policeman. In Memory of Old New England graveyards are not the only ones which contain cu rious epitaphs. The old-time dweller of Maine who "died of a falling tree," as his headstone asserts, had a fellow in misfortune in far-off Australia, as is shown by W. A. Baillle-Grohman's. "The Tyrol and the Tyrolese." A wooden slab, painted with the rep resentation of a prostrate tree undet which lies a man in spread-eagle atti tude, bears testimony to the violent death of "Johann Lemberger, aged 52 years. This upright and virtu ous youth was squashed by a falling tree." The record of Michael Gerstner is even more succinct and convincing. He "Climbed up, fell down, and was dead." Youth's Companion. fc Defense of Canned Products. That foods properly canned do not deteriorate with age was a statement made at a dinner of canners in Chica go a few days ago. "Suppose a custom er desired a can of corn on February 22, 1920," said one of the speakers, "and was given corn canned in 1909 It would be rejected with a demaifd for 'something fresher,' and, although the 1909 article would be found as fresh as that of 1920 It would be lost At a recent banquet in London canned fruit takenjfrom the ruins of Pompeii was found to be fresh and fine. There should be a law to compel the canning ' of all products in such a manner thai they would keep for ages." Telegraph Letters. A novelty in correspondence, re cently inaugurated by the French post office department, has met with such success that it might be tried all over the world. This is the telegraphic letter. The hours ' between 9 p. m and 4 am. are not busy ones for the French telegraphic lines. So the postal authorities decided to turn these hours to some use. Therefore, if one misses the post for a provincial town Ir France to-day one can at the rate ol 100 words for 20 cents have the lettei telegraphed and delivered by the first post next morning. The scheme la very simple and is working admirably in Paris. Quantity. "Don't you admire the big hats 'thai women are wearing?? "Well," answered Mr. Meektori, "I must say, they look more like the money's worth." True Happiness. Half the world is on the wrjrag scent in the pursuit of happiness. They think.it consists in having and getting and in being served by others. It con sists in giving and in serving others.

Drums from the Congo. The Conservatoire exhibition of mu sical Instruments contains some inter esting specimens of drums of uncivi lized people. A new specimen has Just been presented by M. V. C.

Many animals feign illness. In military stables horses are known to have pretended to be lame in order to avoid going to a military exercise. A chimpanzee in the zoo had been fed on cake when ill; for some time after his recovery he often feigned cough ing in order to procure further dain ties. It Ignited. Little Rollis, four years old, came to the table, where we had tomato soup, of which he is very fond. Being very hungry, he could not wait for it to cool, but hastily ate two or three spoonfuls; then, laying down his spoon, he exclaimed: "My goodness! that soup is so ot it makes sparks all down me." Delineator. Odor of Ambergris. It is claimed for ambergris that not only has it its own odor, but that It also possesses the quality of exalting the flavor and perfume of other sub stances with which it is brought in contact The odor is similar to that of musk; but ft !s much more penetrating and enduring. Good Way to Look at Task. Big things are only little things put together. It is encouraging to think of this when confronted by a big task. Remember that it is only a group of little tasks, any one of which you can easily do. It Is ignorance of this fact that makes some men afraid to try. Warren. Instructions Easy to Follow.

Wiggles "I hear Bjenks has been very ill. Is he out of danger yet?" Waggles "Well, he's convalescent; but he won't be out of danger until that pretty nurse who has been tak ing care of him has gone away." Life. Reforestation In Scotland. Scotland long ago lost its forests. In the time of James VI. it was lament ed that the country was almost naked and "mony yeirs ago "spoiled of all the timmer within the same." Within the last hundred years, however, great tracts, notably in Perthshire and For farshire, that once were bare, have been reclothed with "timmer." Ruling Spirit Strong. Instances of the ruling passion strong in death are very common.

Dussell & Son Eleventh Street MXSostW MODEL 30 AMPLE MEASURE OF REVENGE. Time That Pat Got Gloriously Even with the Doctor. Pat had had trouble with his eyes, and a friend having advised him to consult an oculist, he went a few days ago to see Dr. W , a distinguished specialist, for relief. On his arrival at the doctor's office he found the usual large number of patients in the ante room awaiting attention, and though he was in a great hurry he was forced to wait several dreary hours before his turn came. He lost and regained his temper several times in the interim, but when all was over and he found himself out upon the street with the half day spent, indignation over the loss of valuable time was the predomi nant notein his feelings. "But Oi had me revinge!" he ejacu lated with a broad smile, as he told his friend Mike about it afterward. "Oi don't fink he'll keep me waitin again loike thot." "Phat did ye do to 'urn?" asked Mike. "Sure an' Oi wint back th' next day," said Pat. "Oi got there at noine by the clock an' ivery toime they said 'twas me turn to go in Oi said Oi'd wait an let some other felly have me place, ontil the clock sthruck twilve, an thin Oi wint in.

When little Catherine first'began to lisp she was suitably instructed by her mother in religion. The omnipresence and the omniscience of God were ex plained to her in words of primer length. All this religious training evi dently impressed her profoundly, but she kept her meditations to herself until the other evening. The four-year-old had been tucked into bed after saying her prayers, and as her mother stooped to kiss her good night the child asked eagerly: "Is mamma going downstairs now?" "Yes, dear." "An' is God going to stay in dis room?" "Yes, yes, dear." "Well, Cath'in wants mamma to tell God to go downstairs, too, 'cause she wants to wear dat pretty dress to-morrow de one dat's on de chair an' if God sits down in dat chair he'll muss dat dress all up. Am God can see de candy In de drawer dat I'm saving to eat in de morning, an' he might eat it all up in de night if he feels hungry. So Cath'in wants mamma to take God downstairs to play bridge." Sneezing Superstitions. Sneezing has an extensive folklore in many countries. Sometimes the act is considered ominous of good and sometimes of evil. Among the Jews it has always been regarded, at an ap propriate moment, such as the con clusion of a bargain, as propitious, and a belief still lingers in many parts of the country that the regular habit of sneezing, particularly after meals, Is conducive to longevity and a pre caution again fevers. The old English custom of saying "God bless you" when a person sneezed, so as to avoid evil consequences, has its counterpart in many far-distant parts of the globe. The early settlers in Brazil found the sneezer saluted with "God preserve you," while in Fiji it was customary to retort: "May you live." In super stitious Suffolk there is a sneezing tariff once a wish, twice a kiss, thrice a letter and four times a dis appointment. One ef the Remarkable Cases.

"All I want to say," he went on, "is that I have a little boy at home who never said a bright thing in his life."

Euphonic Syllables Unfortunately Were Badly Applied. When Josephine Dodge Daskam, now Mrs. Bacon, met a college class- mate a short time ago, the classmate congratulated her on the fame she had acquired and said: "I had startling proof of how well your name is known after we'd been out of college only five years. I was then on a trip abroad and was doing a little sketch ing in the picturesque parts of Eng land. Several other artists were grouped near me one morning, all at tempting to sketch a delightful bit of landscape, when a gust of wind blew my sketching sunshade over. A gal lant young artist tried to pick it up for me. The wind bowled it over a little farther. Then he knocked over my stool in his gallant efforts, nearly upset my easel and had a very clumsy time of it, and all the while he kept muttering underhis breath: 'Josephine Dodge Daskam, Josephine Dodge Das kam.' " 'Do you know her?' I asked finally. '"Who?" he asked, surprised. "'Why, Josephine Dodge Daskam. She was a college classmate of mine. "The young man turned a fine red and said sheepishly: 'No, I don't know, her from Adam, but I've read a lot of her stories, and I always say her name when I want to swear, and can't ; Her name is the nearest like cussing without being cussing, of anything I know of."'

New York Post. His Qualifications. He was pleading his cause earnest ly. "I am wealthy," he said, "and could make ample provision for you." She nodded and checked one point off on her fingers. "I have had experience with the world," he continued. She checked off another point. "I have passed the frivolous point," he went on, "and I have the stead fastness, the age, and the wisdom tc guard and guide you well." He paused for an answer. "The points you make are strong ones," she said, "but they lead unde viatingly to the conclusion that you would make an excellent father for me. You have all the-necessary qual ifications, but just now I am looking for a husband." The Aeroplane in War. Judging from the present outlook, it seems thatthe 1 eld of the aeroplane in military work will be distinct from that of the dirigible balloon. It will not be able to carry great weight, like the dirigible, but it will be mucb swifter. Being smaller and more com pact, and requiring no gas-making ap paratus, it will be more easily trans ported. A single supply ship could carry a whole fleet of them, and they could be quickly put in action.
