I spent a night last spring In the biggest
Buddhist monastery oC Corea. It was founded ,
1,100 years ago , and Corea had Buddhism
whllo Japan was still worshlllplng the sun
goddess ( , oC Shintoism. The tact Is that
Japanese Buddhism came from Corea. This
Wes about 100 ; years after Christ , when ore
oC tile CoreRn kings , gave n golden lIuddl\l1
to the mikado. lie popularized the religion ,
and Japan was soon Vital \ with Buddhists ,
monks and nuns. The religion became pop ,
uor : , and today Japan Is one oC the great
Uuddhlst countries oC the world. Corea on
the other hand , has sunken Into barbnrlslll.
It Is time land bC Infidels allll super-
11I1i0ns. ! The Buddhist religion , which was
so' strong In lima past , has alien Into tlls-
grace , and until lately the priests were
not allowed to como Into the city oC Seoul.
There are no Duddhlst temples In Seoul , and
there are nol n. great many over the country.
The chief center oC religion Is In the eastern '
part oC limo peninsula ] , and the monastery
which , I visited lu one oC time richest and '
largest In the worlll. 1L had hundreds of acres
uC forests connected with ' It. It owned vast
estates , and , It had buildings and temples
which made me think oC those oC Japan.
It was made the Imperial monastery about
100 years before the d'scovery oC America.
The founder oC the present Corean dynasty
was born near It , and was taught by one oC
Its priests. The result was that when he
became ' king , about 100 ; years ago , hco favored
this monastery lie rave It Imperial rank
and Its priests have been getting Cat ore oC
presents ever since. This man planted some
trees along the road which leads to the temple -
ple and I rode through these on my way to
k' the monastery. They are immense pines , almost -
most 200 feet In height , and opposite them
stand stone tablets comml'inmorallng thIs '
great monarch. There Is an old prophecy In
Corea which states that the present dynasty
will bo destroyed In time 600th year oC Its
reign. It was just 100 ; years ago that this
king lived , and the Corean rebels who have
tried to break up the government this year
believe that they arc carrying out the proph-
ecy , and that the present king will be the
,
last nf his lIoco.

UNDREDS OF PRIESTS.
I found the country surrounding the mon-
' . astry filled wllh priests. They line the roads.
' . They are at work In the 11 el < 1 s. You see
. : them loafing In the woods and they fairly
swarm about the temples. They wear yellow
gowns , and their hats are very much like
Inverted butter bowls. They come down
: ; . ; ' ; ' t. over their heads so that you see only their
; noses and their chins , and they all walk with
. + I long stavcs. They do nol get much attention
1) ' : from the people and they are not respected 118
they are In other Buddhist countries. Those
> " I met were densely ignorant , and It seemed
to me they knew very little about their rc-
. IIglon. They arc very superstitious , and I
v ! law , signs oC this everywhere. At the ell-
trance to the monastry there was a big
gate , and on each side oC this stood a row oC
' totem sticks carved with hideous ; faces IIIte
1 ° those which you find outside oC each Corcan
a village. These are supposed to be a guard
i agl1lnr.t evil spirits , and they aid Buddha In
I- protecting his own. We passed through ,
s several oC them and went for several miles
as jllpng a well kept road through a beautiful
pine forest , the grass oC which was studded
with 110wcrs. Along anD side oC the road a
metnlaln torrent rushed over a ragged rock ,
singing the praises oC Duddha as Il pushed Its
way toward time Pacific ocean. On the other
; , side hills rose almost Ilka mountains , and
the ride was one oC the most picturesque
L _ " , that I found In Corea 'fho forests belonging
to the establishment ar beautifully kept
' i and some parts oC the grounds make you
_ 4 ; think oC nn English , park rather than one oC
the wildest sections oC one oC the most backward .
ward countries on the globe. There were
rUEtie bridges In temple-lIIte resting places
here and hero on time way. Now and then
wo passed a cemetery filled with tablets In
memory oC the holiest monks oC the past
a and all oC our surroundings were filled with
the beauties oC nature.
SLEEPING WITII THE MONKS , .
Some oC the gorgeous priests In their but-
ter.bowl hats met my party all the gate , and
"General" Pak , my Interpreter , sent our servant -
ant along In advance with my letter oC Introduction -
, troduction Cram time Icing oC Corea , with
orders to the chief priest to prepare a proper '
entertainment for me. When wo arrIved at
the temples however , Pak found they were
going to put us In a small room. This did
not suit him at nil , and ho led mo through
court after court until we came to the biggest -
j ' r gest temple oC all. lid stalked with stately
i tread right Into this ana \ spoke In grandilo
quent tonc-s to the crowd oC kale lying
i'Y and that.
indo ' we coon had a hundred monks flying sMUl
- " trying to fix up. time place for my reception.
The room was 100 feet square , and among
those In It at time time wo como were fifty
priests wlJo were eating their supper "Gen-
, eral" Pak moved ! them all to one side and
then pointed , to a place near the wall lie
told me that It was there that 1 was to spend
the night. My resting place was right under
n great big golden statue oC Buddha , In front
oC which bowls oC incense were burning The
rom was about twenty feel In height and
great lanterns hung from the coiling. There
were drums and gongs here and there for the
waiting up oC time gods before praying to thelll ,
and there were mats scattered shout upon
which . . . time ! 1 . priests . . . slept later . ! _ en .
A TALK WITH TUIJ : elllEF pnIEST.
Whllo we 'wero getting dinner the chief
priest , the hiGhest Buddhist In Core3. came
down to era mire lie was a man oC about
60 , with n head as bald as a billiard ball , and
' , a comtnexlon that was like that or a well
beaten drum head lie was withered and
wrinkled , but his little black eyes twinkled
out at their buttonhole slits , and ho was
affable and pleasant. lie squatted on hs !
, heels on the Boor for a time , and then , upn
s my asking him to take dinner with me , he
lat down \ crou-Ieg ' , and we dlscUB.Sed mata .
tl.'i'a together while our agd rooster was
coolilng. I had a geed varIety oC wine with
me and I offered the chief priest a glass oC
chalnpagne. At first he refused , but upon
' 'General" Pak telling him that Il WU not
'like Corean liquor ho gulped down great :
swallows , rubbing his stomach the while as
the sparkling liquid sent a worm glow through
his veins. The truth Is , he finished the bottle
right there and " " '
re , "General" Pak made him A
present oC It. There Is nD glass In Corea and
the chief print considered : this a magnificent
l c , gift lie bumped his head on the mats before
me In response to II , and after this there was
nothing In the whole establishment whIch he
did not offer tD us . I asked him some quee
a tlons about his religion lie told me that
Buddhism came Into Cores from China , and
that about 300 years after Christ the ,
lIr8t Buddhist monks came from that
country . i spoke to him about the
revival or his religion III Japan and of the
: .x , mo\'emnt which Is there on Coot to send
IJuddhllt ml88lonarle& to Corea , In order to
bring back the country to Its old faith but
he did not seem to have much interest In

ll1llredodd monks who \vere In the temple
and give nlO a , chance to sleep alone , and , I
waited some time for thEm to move. They
gave no sign oC doing \ . so , and at last In
desllalr I asked "Genernl" Pal for a screen
lie brought half a dozen , end with these we
made a little fence about I11Y rice bags and ,
undressing I wrapped myself In my blanket
and soon Mopped air to sleep ,
A IIDNIGIIT SEItENADE
About midnight I was awakened by n
horrible din. A hundred , gongs were sound-
Inr Two score of bells were ringing ! . and
there were the beating oC drums and the
clapping oC hands , mind n pounding of one I
piece oC wood upon another I rose to my
feet and looked 'o\'cr 'the screen About I
thirty monks were stilt sleeping . and forty I
others were trotting heflt and there through I
the temple on their way lo prayers A i
brawny priest spas pounding on a gong near
I11Y head , and another vtlS ringing a bell at
the foot oC my bed. I stood and looked
on , for there was no use ( trying to go to
sleep amid such a nolsl' This lasted nearly
a.n hour and then the priests slowly resumed
their cuddled-up positions on the floor , and
the Corenn snore look the place oC the gongs
and the bells. I went back : to my rice bags ,
and had just droPPP.ll' oft ID sleep when the
gangs and , bells began again. I looked al my
watch Il was 4 a. 111. , and the day was just
dawning The morning prayers had begun ,
and this effectually stopped further rest
AMONG TilE NUNS.
After breakfast 1 took a walk over the
monastry , and I met n number oC the
Buddhist . These were the scrawniest ,
scrappiest , scraggIest women I have ever
seen. Their heads are shaved , and the
women I saw had faces as wrinkled as the
lEather oC nn nllgator satchel , and they made
me think of the Idiots I have seen In soinc
oC our state usylt.ms. They live apart Cram
the monks In quarters oC their own , and they
are little respected by the pcople. I found
none oC the high class Careans hall much to
do with the monks or the priests , nlld they
were looked upon more as a set oC ignorant
Ircmes , , than anything else. The monastl'les
are travel resorts for the people and mammy
excursions are taken to-visit them , more to
ndmlre the beautlflll scenery by which they
are surrounded than anything else The
CUI cans are fond oC the beauties oC nature
and on any line day you may see acres oC
them wandering through the hills about the
Corean capital and writing verses and
poetry inspired by the sight. When the trees
are In flower they , tmave picnics un'ler them ,
and the beautiful parJls of the country are ns
well known as thosP oC Switzerland are
(
known to Europe .Tohe gentlemen often have
poetry parties , at .whlch they compete with
each other In vrltlng vlrses OA time spur oC
the moment on certain subject , and they
are very strict , 111 , ) mntters oC etlquctte. More
oC them believE ; In Confucius than In nny-
thing else , andthelr , culture , you know , all
comes from Chinn. Just outside oC Seoul
there Is n massive Buddha , carved out uC
stone with a little temple above It , but It
has few worshippers and the only temples tn
the Corean capital arc ConCuclan. .
QUEER COlmAN SUPERSTITIONS.
I found the Coreans superstitious In the
extereme and I l101et evlllencs oC this every-
where The trees 'which = we passed at the
Coot oC the mountains had plies oC stone' about
them , and "Genera ) " Pak always picked up
another stone and threw It on the pile : He
told me that In those trees lived the gods
oC the mountains and that It we did not do
them honor by giving them a stone they
would work us great harm. Nearly every
house had a magic charm tied about Il In
order to keep out the spirits and proCessional -
sional sorcerers are called In at funerals to
drive ore time demons. These are usually old
women who have a very curious dance , and
who whirl about In the street for hours In
order to keep ore the evil one. I saw several
table rocks on my trip acres the country
which are used for sacrifices In limes oC epi-
demics and one Immense stone oC this kind ,
about twenty feet square I was told saved
limo country Cram small pox. The Corcans be-
IIcve In astrology They have their lucky
days and they think that the spirits hover
about them and work them good or III. At
the cross roads I often saw . straw effigies
which , I was told , had been made by men
as a guard against evil diseases. In such
straw- men are hidden pieces oC money , and
the parties who make them say a prayer
over them , asking that they bo delivered
Cram all diseases and misfortunes for the
next twelve months. They thcn give them
to time boys , who tear time , to pieces to find
the mane ) ' . The more the figure Is torn , the
realer ! ' ; the efficacy oC time charm TIle
Coreans consider 'nine to be a lucky number ,
and they have all kinds oC rain prophets
and dream signs. ' IJ
COttEAN : 'CHILDREN'
I found maul ' 'boys ' let this big Corean
monastery. T 'eYII : ) here ; studying to be priests :
and the choC ! pr est took four oC them and
posed them , In ' " prier ) that I might have their
pictures taken. They / were bright little fel-
lows and they . vent . over the prayers oC
Buddha quite gllb1r.'j'pot , , : knowing what they
mean. The chlldre,21.rorm , one oC the most
Interesting features DC Corea. They arc
bright and good natured , and vey p lte. ! They
tagged at my heels wherever I went , and
gave the duct amusing features oC the whole
trip. In the summer children under G wear
IIllle more than n. little jacket , which comes
just below the arm pits. They eat great
quantities of raw turnips and pumpkins and
the whole of baby Cerea may bo said to be
pot. bellied. The children have all kinds oC
games , and they delight In the flying or
kites. Their kites are made differently
from ours. They are square In shape , with
a halo as b'g around as a tin cup In the
mlddlo. They let out the string by a reel '
anti they have kite fights ! ' ; They use great
skill In this amusement , and two rival kites
will fight ! ' ; like live things hundreds of feet
up In the air Each one oC time lighters tries
to entangle the other kites to break their
strings and drag them down to the ground
The greatest kilo flying time Is during the
New Year holidays , and time men , as well all
time boys , have their kites
GAMBLING IN COREA ,
The Coreons are fond oC gambling , but the
laws provide that there shnll be no gambling ,
except at funerals , allll then only among time
friends oC the deceased This makes the dead
man very popular , and all who have any
claim whatever to friendship or relationship
with him appear ) nt the funeral The ceru-
1II0ny usually lasts for days , allll It Is a kind
oC a cress between on African hoodoo show
and an Irish wake
COItEAN ORA VES.
Graves In Cores are quite as Important as
they are In China Every family has Its
burying ground and the dead are carried for
miles In order that they may be laid ) with
their kill The monuments are usually round
mOlllllls oC earth , and the bigger the man
the bigger time mound. A rich man will often
take a whole hill to himself , and the cemeteries .
tertea , , are usually located on , the Bides of
Idlls Whl'n a man dies hired mourners are
called in . and these wall as they burn the
clothing oC the dead They do this at night
In the street In the front oC the door The
funerals oC Seoul have to pass out oC certain I
gates of the city , and must go through just '
lit dusk' The result Is that they go to the
grave on a run , for If they do nol arrive
there III time they will have to squat down
and walt until the gates open In time morn-
Ing. Such funeralll are always accompanied
by men and there Is dancing and merrymakIng -
Ing on the way. I saw a number during my
stay In Seoul , and there seemed to be more
rejoicing than gr/ef. /
My next letter will be the last on Caren

ENTITLED TO RECOGNITION.
. In a letter addressed tD Senator Hawley ,
who was at that time chairman oC the corn- '
mltlee on military affairs oC the United Stales
1
senate Lieutenant General J. M. Schofield .
'
commanding the _ armY , Eal. : . " : There Is 'no quesr r
tlon , In lilY Judgment , that the persons en-
gaged In the military telegraph service during ' I ,
the late war deserve recognition for their ,
bravery fidelity and skill with which they X
discharged their duties and that = they should 1
at least receive n. certificate oC recognition
and honorable dlschargo from the sen'lce. ,
Some of them' would doubtless be entitled m
to the rank oC commissioned officers ,
while such who were engaged only '
In the construction oC mllltnry telegraph lines
might only be entitled tD rank as privates "
Representative Outhwaite oC , Ohio chair-
man of the committee on mllllary affairs ,
prepared and submitted to the house a report
In which It Is declared that It bas always
been the avowed policy oC 'tho government not
to recognize as n part oC the army or wllh
military rank those persons who filled merely
civilian positions. But the case oC the army
operators Is somewhat different from civilian
employes In the war generally. Their sere = :
Ices were Important and valuable and the
telegraph operators were stationed wherever
headquarters were eslablislmed In the can-
Etrucllon oC telegraph lines they were
often pushed forward Into positions oC dnn-
ger. They put up their Instruments many
times on the skirmish lines and frequently I
'almost ' In the lines oC battle Often times
they were the last to leave nn abandoned
position , even when In danger oC capture and
imprisonment Some oC them were Itllled at
their posts oC duty many wounded , and some
crippled for lIle. Those who were made
prisoners of war were exchanged for Important -
portant officers. Some held an assimilated
rank , but not the real rank oC officers. Their
duties were just as Important and just as
faithfully performed as though they had been
sworn Into the mllllary service oC the United
States For these reasons time committee on
mUltary affairs expressed the opinion that
a slight departure from the usual policy oC
Uio government In not recognizing civilian
employes oC the army Is justified In lime case
oC the telegraph operators. "
