FINISH OF KOREA.
Hermit Kingdom May Disappear
from Family of Nations.

After having been more or less bullied
for centuries by the neighbors, Korea
seems about to disappear from the fam
lily Of nations. The process already has
begun and the next few years may see
one of the Oldest of the ancient civiliza-
tons wiped off the map.
The steps leading UP to this unique re-
suit follow logically upon Japans effort
to make the country a colonizing ground
for it's own surplus population The
Korean emperor and his foreign minister,
Pakchisun, have resisted japanese meth
DDS of government and publicly denounc-
ed them as outraging all the spirits of
their noble ancestors, but without avail.
Last week japanese guards surrounded
the emperor's palace, made him prisoner
and compelled him to sign an agree
ment, Japan having previously Modified
most of his advisers with substantial
sums of money. The agreement provides
that japanese administrator shall gov
ern Korea under the emperor" and
that all Korean treaty ports and diplo-
matte affairs shall be henceforth in jap
anese hands.
This is evidently the beginning of the
end for Korea, says the Chicago News.
japanese armies have overrun it in past
ages. For centuries it bowed in meek
submission to China and regularly sent
its ENJOYS on pilgrimages to inquire ten
derby after the we'll being of China's
rulers, contemporaneous and ancestral.
History records occasions when it had to
go into public mourning for its failure
to show proper respect to its suzerain.
When, as a result of the war between
Japan and China, it gained a measure
of independence from this vassalage it
found itself on the point of being abb
sorbed by Russia. Now it meets mani
fest destiny in the form of japanese am
bition, for how the japanese admins
traitor who is to govern under the en-
peror" will run things is reasonably
clear. It is true that this is all at vari-
ance with the japanese treaty stipula-
ton, guaranteeing the integrity and au-
tonomy of Korea. But, as every one
knows, treaty agreements are binding
only when there are ships and guns to
back them up.

BURGLAR KILLS A GIRL.
Miss Maud Reese of Chicago Finds
Thief In Her Flat and Is Shot.

Thief In Her Flat and Is Shot.
Miss Maud Reese, while trying to cap
ture a burglar, was murdered by him in
her home in Chicago Tuesday night. She
fell on the floor within a few feet of
her companion. a woman almost blind.
Miss Reese, who was % years old and
employed as a stenographer in the legal
department of the Union Traction Com
pany, accompanied by Mrs. NJ. M.
Baumgartner, had been in the fat less
than a minute when the murderer fired
the fatal shot in the dark.
Miss Reese lived in the fat with her
sister, Anna, nurse. Earlier in the
day the sisters had received a telegram
from their brother-in-aw at Green River,
ILL.,, saying their sister, his wife, was ILL.,.
Anna Reese decided to go. Miss Maud
Reese, who never had been alone in the
fat at night, telephoned to Mrs. Baum
gartner, who consented to meet Miss
Reese at the Union Traction Company's
Office. Mrs. Baumgartner is under treat
ment for her eyes and her sight is inn
paired. The women reached the fat af-
ter dark, having left the office at about
5 p. m.
Miss Reese unlocked the door and
both stepped in. In a moment Miss
Reese whispered to her companion, 81
believe there is some one in the house.
Can't you hear some one movingT'
Noise of feet could be plainly heard IN
the kitchen in the rear of the fiat.
BE quiet. You stay here while l go
to see what it isl whispered Miss Reese.
Mrs. Baumgartner heard her friends
firm steps on the bare oak floor of the
hallway leading to the kitchen. A mo-
ment later there was a scream, followed
by a mans threatening voice.
"Help! Helpn' came from the kitch-
en-. Then there were an overturning of
chairs and crashing of dishes. Almost
at the same time a man came running
toward the front door, talking in a low,
gruff voice and evidently struggling to
get away Miss Reese was either hold
ing on to him or was being dragged by
him. Above the noise the mans voice
sounded finally:
''Let go of me or I'll shootv'
Mrs. Baumgartner said she saw the
dim outlines of the burglars back and
his hand reaching for a pocket. A shot
rang through the fiat. Miss Reese fell
to the floor with a gasp. Turning an
grily and cursing, the man ran toward
the kitchen. The sound of crashing
glass indicated his escape out of win
dow. People from other flats in the
building soon ran to the scene. After
the gas was lighted Miss Reese's body
was found lying on the floor near the
entrance so that the door could not be
opened until it was moved. A telephone
call was sent to the Sheffield avenue
station and fifteen minutes later the po-
lice began to arrive.

NEW NORTH POLE EXPLORER.
"Musher" Will Be There First When
Gold Stampede Is Started.

There is a popular belief in the ex-
IRENE northwest that the north pole
will be discovered by musher, and
not by any scientific polar expedition.
This belief is based on the conviction
that gold stampede will eventually
be started toward north latitude 50
degrees, and that mushers will rush
in where arctic explorers have feare6
to tread. So completely unknown to
fame is this newcomer in the race for
the pole that to the majority of peo-
pie the name suggests nothing but
cereal breakfast food.
Gilbert Parker, the novelist, who
finds his most congenial theme in
French Canadian life, has made his
readers familiar with "Marche-t'-enw
the cry with which drivers of dog
teams urge forward their painting ami
mails. FrenchCanadian trappers were
among the earliest white men in the
far northwest, and American prospec-
tors on the Yukon soon learned to goad
their dogs on with the same cry, with
out, however, understanding the
French, which, in their mouths, was
rapidly corrupted to "Mushonv' to this
day an Alaska dog drivers equivalent
for Gee upp'
Dog drivers generally run with the
team and therefore from "Mush-on"
has come the noun musher, used all
over Alaska and the Yukon territory
to designate craftsman. The musher
is generally prospector, stampeder and
craftsman all rolled into one, and
Alaska trails are such uncertain guam
titles that he has frequently to make
his own precedents over newly frozen
sea and trackless snow. The musher
achieves most Of his stampeding to
new gold fields during the arctic win
ter, for then the rigid sea becomes a
highway and mighty rivers need no
bridging.-Sunset Magazine.

70 or 30 men-a small fire department
in itself.
Let us now return to a fire house
and see how these alarms are re-
ceiyed. Near the door of every house
is located a small desk, and at this a
fireman sits. Nearby, somewhere on
the apparatus floor, another fireman
may be found cleaning out the horses
stalls, or keeping bright the metal
work on the swinging harness, but
ready in an instant to assist in "hitch-
ing up" should a call or an alarm
come ringing out from the array Of in
struments ranged along the wall near
the desk. The man sitting at the desk
is the ''man-on-watch," who notes the
alarms. Just before the alarm sounds
on the great gong there is sharp
click which, to the ordinary listener,

would not be noticed at all, but to
the quick ear of the man on watch
and the equally well-trained ears OF
the horses, there need be no second
stroke to tell that an alarm will fol-
low. This click is caused by the
opening of the electric circuit IN
which the station is located.
Near the gong a clock registers, by
the use of magnets, the time the alarm
is received. On each side of the stalls

nue., Wednesday evening. The bullet
struck Mr.. Field on the left side. Had
it been the fraction of an inch lower
it would have passed through the alb

The course Of the bullet was straight
and it was recovered near the spinal
column.
James Lowe, a butler, was the first to
on the first floor of the Field residence.
He was attending to his duties. Mr..
Field was alone in his bedchamber. Mrs.
Field was calling upon friends. Mr..
Field had gone to his room about 5
o'clock. The butler heard him as he
walked about the room for half an hour.
Then came silence. Suddenly there came
the sound of a shot, The butler was
silent for a moment. Then cries for
help came from Mr.. Fields room. A
second and the butler was up the steps.
As he entered the bedchamber he saw
the body of the young millionaire lying
upon the floor.
"What has happened?' gasped the
butler, as Mr.. Field groaned in the eff
fort to recover himself.
