A New York Sun item recalls an eccentric old woman who appears on Franklin Street to feed track horses from a fat handbag. She signals drivers to halt with a raised hand and admonishes those who mistreat the animals, a sight welcomed by truckers. The piece then notes Kim Kyong Syop, a Korea Scripture seller, once a spirit-worshipper who burned cows to foreign gods. He later became a Christian and bears black spots on his thumbs as memory of a vow to abstain from drink, a sign linked to his past.
