A noteworthy feature of the Japan
csc reform program in the kingdom
of Korea is the prospective abandon
ment of the custom of wearing the
hair long. The new emperor has an
nounced his intention of cutting off the
Characteristic topknot fashion of wear
ing the hair. All the subjects will be
expected to follow the example and
hundreds of the elder statesmen and
officials have left Seoul for remote
parts of the country to escape the
BARRIERS. 1t is also announced that the
emperor will give up the historical
practice of drinking human milk.

NO SCORE WAS MADE

First Game With MadeIia
Resulted i'm a Tie.
SCOND TEAM WON CONTEST
Secured Twenty -One Points; Fast Bat

From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
In the double-header foot ball games
played Saturday between the first and
second teams of Mankato and Ma
della, the first team game resulted
in a tie while the second team de-
feated the Madelia second by a score
of Fl to 0.
First Team Game.
Madelia kicked off to Mankato, who
by series of line bucks, advanced the
ball to within striking distance of the
goal. Here Williams dropped back for
a place kick but, the ball went low.
Madelia made a touchdown and kicked
off from the twenty-five yard line.
Again during the half Mankato tried
a place kick but failed. The half
ended with the ball in Mankato's
possession on Madelia's fifteen yard
line.
In the second half, Williams kicked
off to Madelia. They failed to make
distance and the ball went over. Dur
ing the rest of the half the ball was
in Madelia's territory. Williams at
four different times tried for field
goals but was unsuccessful. Shortly
after the last attempt the game was
ended, the final score being 0 to 0.
1t was evident throughout the game
that Mankato outclassed Madelia in
many ways, but through weakness at
ha ica1 foil LODI TO
Mankato's defense was strong as they
held Madelia for downs except in one
instance when their right half broke
loose for a fifteen yard run. The
only thing that saved Madelia was
their ability to punt. Mankato, how
ever, was weak on offense, the men in
the line failing to open up the holes
and the backfeld to hit them. The
interference was poor, the man carry
ing the ball often having to hit the
line alone.
The lineup was as follows: L. E.,
G. Pond; l.. T., w. Sanborn; L. g.,
F. Cook; c., E. Dodds; r. G., G.
Dobbin;s R. T., p Heydon; r. E., G.
DOWeH, W., N. Noou, II. IL, 'iii"hi"
Captain; F. B., H. Lee.
The Second Team Game.
The second team, however, won a
decisive victory from the Madelia sec
ond. No scoring was done in the
first half, the entire score being made
in the second. The first two touch
downs were made by Roblee and More
hart after brilliant series of cross
line bucks and straight plunges
through the line; but the other two
were obtained by sensational runs by
Morehart and Wagon. On defense the
team was strong, holding Madella for
downs every time. On defense the
stars were Hauer, knott and Roblee
On offense the team did splendid
ly, working cross line bucks and
fake plays to perfection. The chief
ground gamers were Merchant, knott,
Roblee and Wagon.
The following was the lineup: L. E.,
J. Lloyd; L., T. Cook; L. c., Hovig;
c., C. Bosine; r. g., L. Door; r. L,
+. Wagon; r. E., w. Hauer; o..
H. Hayward; L. H., NJ. Merchant;
F. B., c. Roblee; R. H., NJ. Knoll.

THE SHORTEST SOLDIER.
How a Young Kansan Under the Re
quired Height Got Into the Army.

Kansas City.-Charles L. Dagan, Of
Keats, Kan, a young army recruit
who enlisted in Kansas City and left
with a squad of recruits for jefferson
barracks, near st. Louis, is probably
the shortest soldier in the United
States army. His height is five feet
two inches, He was accepted only
on the recommendation of President
Roosevelt, to whom he wrote explain
ing the situation after he had been re-
jected on account of his height at the
auxiliary recruiting station at Topeka
early in April.
Dagan had entertained the hope of
becoming a soldier for a number of
years. He is now % and having no
one dependent upon him, he went to
the recruiting station to enter the
service, He passed a rigid examina-
tion save for his height, but the news
that for this reason he could not be-
come a soldier did not deter him. He
had decided TO become one, and
promptly wrote 20 President Roose-
velt explaining the situation. He
made an earnest appeal to the chief
executive, and the frank, earnest man
ner in which he cOuched his plea
seemed to strike the president as that
of a man who would make a good sol
der
This is probably the first instance
Of an acceptance of an application for
enlistment in the army when a dis
crepancy of two inches in the required
height existed The minimum height,
as stipulated by the war department,
is five feet four inches.
Dagan is of almost perfect build,
weighs $50 pounds and has a f1ve-inch
chest expansion. He expressed a de-
sire to enlist in the cavalry and be
sent to the Philippines At Jefferson
barracks he will be assigned to a regi-
ment Of cavalry under orders or pre-
pairing for orders for Philippine ser

WashingtOn.-Luke E. Wright, Unit
ed States ambassador to Japan, has
forwarded to the state department de-
tails of the cooperative agreement be-
tween the Japanese and Korean gov
ernments outlining a plan for the use
OF forests in the Yalu and Tumeu val
Ieys. The plan is similar in many
ways to the methods of the United
States in developing the national for

The decision of the Japanese gov

to the use Of the forests Of Korea is
