'or after the Chinn-Japanese wnr the land be Cale flln liilcpeldemt kingloim, al though even then Japan claimed juisl.;. diction over the country. But Korea eni.joyed her freedom only a short tilne a all indepeident nation. It was on August 29, 1918, flint Japan formally annexed Korea, as fin Integral part of the kingdom. Tite old nam1e was chniged to Chosen. In Japanese this name is (1lvided Into two syllables-Cho Sen. This means "Tie 1Land( of the Morning Calm." Perhaps no other name would better stilt the land which was once called the Ilermit kingdom, for its people are indeed very calm. So calm have they been considered by Japan that it isn't generally known there was some opposition to the annexation of the kingdom, and that a republic was forimed and a president elected. The president, it Is said, was compelled to flee the country. Man1y are the strainge customns of this ol(1 little land. At one time the king ordered all men to wear hrond brimmedl hats made of a imaterlial so brittle the men couldn't "get their hends together" without nicking their hats. And so. the story runs con spiracy was prevented. But the nileposts of Chosen are not made of brittle material. They are painstakingly hewn out of wood, ind are set ip along the highways. carved with Chosen characters, which give the traveler the Information he re quires for a safe jourtley. To the eyes of' mnmy a western traveler these nilleposts look more like hunges intended to frighten than soothingly to inform. Of course, the partieular demon that should be pla lted in each spot Is properly pla cated by the posts. Ani so these Chosen iilleposts serve the double piirjimiiwe of informing liman travelcrs anld 1nriniii iig off those demons who might trouble the highway. - '.iimple Manning in C01ohniinhus Dispatch.
