begs thnt she be allowed to test there

of tho suspicious characters Insisting
on drinking the lady’s health In

at her until she blushes crlmsonly

omes out strong. He sees a chance
to make u hit with the lady and he

NEGLECTED HEROINE
IS TO BE HONORED
CharacterUtici of a Race Now Brought
Prominently Into View.
Correspondence of the London Stand
ard.
Of the three races, Chinese, Japanese
and corean, the last is undoubtedly the
finest physically. The Corean Is tall,
thick-set and In many cases good look
ing. and although his surroundings
are filthy and noiaome In the extreme,
In his person he is not uncleanly. It
may he that this Is due to the nation
al habit of dressing In white, which
necesitatea continual washing and
scrubbing, and to tee him In the street
you would not think It possible that'
he could tolerate such filthy and un
sanitary surroundings. The Corean.
even If he can afford It, knows better
than to build himself a decent and hab
itable dwelling, for let the unfortun
ate tradefcman show the least sign of
wealth, and the governor of his prov
ince, or tho ever-reftdy tax collector,
will pounce down upon him and take
the profits of years In the form of a
loan, which will never be repaid. The
result of this system of wholesale pil
lage and extorsion Is to crush all life
and Interpriae out of the people, and
to cause the wealthy and the poor man
to live side by side in the same man*
In the same red clay hut, In the
same muddy street and using the
name unsanitary well, into which, as
a rule, the refuse of the town finds Its
way; all this simply through fear of
the extortion of the central Govern
ment nt Beoul. The Corean loves
peace and hates war. He wna not al
ways so peacefully Inclined, hut cen
turies of oppression have rendered
nfm unfit for strife, although In the
past he has fought bravely enough,
defeating both the Japanese and
Chinese on frequent occasions. There
Is n good reason to believe that If he
were gtvema sound military and phys
ical training he would become effi
cient, nnd quite brave enough to take
his place alongside of the troops of
other nations. At present he Is in the
same position ns the Sudanese were
were after years of Dervish oppres
sion. It Is not to be supposed that
every Corean Is Indifferent to the fate
of his country. Among the middle
classes: there has been for some time
n growing discontent and a keen de
sire to find n remedy. The middle
classes, comprising the merchant and
small traders, are brought more In
contact with outside Influences. It
Is they who fe*»l most severely the
ever-lncrfuslng Japanese competition,
which Is driving them from their form
er occupations and bringing fresh pov
erty Into their already lmj»overlshed
homes. This feeling of repulsion to
wards the Japanese Is spreading rap
idly all over Corea, but It Is among
tho Christian converts that the signs
of a reaction, are most plainly seen.
In no other quarter of the globe has
missionary endeavor met with great
er success or fallen upon more fruit

The Lewis and Clark Centennial at
Portland, Oregon, which Is to be held
In celebration of the 100th anniversary
of the expedition of Captains Lewis
and Clark to the Pacific coast tn 1805,
will bring Into prominence the
achievements of a heroine who has
been too long neglected. A heroic
statue of Socajawea, the heroine of the
Lewis and Clark expedition, to cost
$7,000, is to be placed In the central
court of the exposition. * An associa
tion, known as the Sacaj&wea statue
association, has the matter in charge,
and prominent western women of Or
egon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, the
Dakotas, Nebraska, Utah and Colora
do are interested in the undertaking.
Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, author of "The
Conquest," Is president of the asso
ciation. «
Sscajawea, or Tsakakawea, as some
authorities write her name, was the
•Blrdwoman who guided Lewis and
Clark across the mountains, and who
on*> several occasions aided the explor
ers when all hope of ever seeing the'
ocean seemed lost. Next to Jefferson

guided them, who deserves to be

wife, guide, heroine. And the end?
When the party of adventurer* had
reached on Its return trip the Mlnne-
tareo villages, Chabonneau decided to
stay there, and Bacnjawea, the faith-
ful guide, remained faithful to her
husband, nnd stayed with him. The
cnptnlns gave Chahonneu 1500 for hla
aervleea hut the Indian woman re
ceived nothing. Sacajawea lived on
with her haahnnd the old life that she
had been accustomed to; From having
been the t runted and beloved friend _
of the Boldler-explorera. ahe become I ii wj 8 45

French .-oyngeur. When Breckinridge 11, J, < oi
