Roosevelt came irom a Dutch iamily that has
lived in America almost 300 years. A very
weak boy. he could not go to school, but was
educated by tutors. Living on a Western ranch,
working hard, he gradually grew strong. He
became Assistant Secretary of the Navy, but
with the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war he resigned and went to Cuba to fight at
the head oi the “ Rough Riders." At one time
Roosevelt was Police Commissioner oi New
York City.

O N ’T think of cornine 1
yanoshita and Hakone, heart
of the natural hot springs coun
try, part of your itinerary; that
is, if you wish to meet nice peo
ple and clean people, like, for
example, one of my own country
men who blew me to a beautifica
tion in one of the numerous boiling
pools prevailing in that region.
Not only was he a bearcat for
taking the waters twice a day at
any and all temperatures, but a
guide book as well in matters per
taining to history following the
dawn o f the Christian era. He was
at his best when reviewing the in
troduction of Buddhism into Korea,
China and Japan. A t 118 degrees
Fahrenheit, seated on a hot rock,
his skin glowing like a boiled lob
ster’s, he was 100 per cent when
discussing the past.
“ Actual dates never meant any
thing to me,” he said, “ and 1 don’t
think they do to most people. One
hundred, three hundred, five hun
dred years one way or another is
near enough. What I ’m interested in
is legend and mythology, if you get
what I mean. Now, take the Bud
dhist religion and the story of how
it came to this part of the world.
Swell stuff I call it and worth tell
ing, if you don’t mind listening. It
■hows how that thing called faith
takes root and becomes permanent,
belief that lime cannot shake from
its foundations.
Monks Camp in a Tree.
“ Anyhow, 53 Buddhist monks
shook from their sandied feet the
dust o f India, reaching, after a
year’s pilgrimage, the peninsula of
Korea, now called Chosen. Making
their way to the northeastern sec
tion In the region of the Diamond
mountains, they came to Yutenji. I
was there In 1U18 and know’ the
country thoroughly, but don’t get the
Idea that I guarantee the legend
which was handed out to me. Ac
cept or reject it, as you please. I t o
member, however, that the preva
lence of Buddhism in Korea and its
spread to China and Japan Is found
ed on what occurred at the time to
which I refer.

‘‘Never as I ’m giving it to you,”
said the American, “ and I very
much doubt that you will tind it
anywhere between covers. Appears
to have been handed down from
century to century, along with a
thousand other tales, many of which
I have heard. But of the bunch,
this one is the best
“ As 1 was saying, the 53 monks,
fed up on touring, finally came to a
mammoth spring, besidr which grew
one whale of a tree, with branches
extending into a considerable area
of space. In its welcome shade the
monks rested, bathed in the pool
and had a pow-wow. Night came
down. ‘W e may as well pitch our
tents and stay here for a spell,’ said
the head monk, ‘but not on the
ground. Safety first, in a strange
country. L e t’s climb the tree and
sleep in its branches.’
Dragon Disturbs Sleep.
“ About midnight, as the monks,
all spread
out on the leafy
branches, were sleeping like one
man, and dreaming o f India, a dra
gon, with flaming eyes, a long
tongue and a spine of sharp prongs
suddenly appeared on the opposite
side of the pool and began to bel
low in thunderous tones, inviting
the Buddhists to come down and get
theirs. Nothing doing
the tree
suited the lodgers all right, all right,
and that was that. What does the
dragon do but cause a hurricane to
come romping down.”
To all intents and purposes, the
history of Buddhism in Korea
should at this point have come to
a conclusion; it was quite abrupt
To lighten the suspense, my inform
ant slid from his hot rock, deflated
his lungs and sank from view, re
turning rather playfully after a few
seconds and blowing like a pup seal.
Monks Vanquish Dragon.
“ Well, sir,” he went on, swiping
the hot water from his jowls, “ it
certainly looked bad for those 53
monks when the tree left for parts
reclining or seated ir, the same posi
tions they had occupied in the trei
before the blast, and with no visible
means of support. It was a sock in
the eye for the dragon.
