MISSIONARIES LITTLE JOKE.
Hw He Heightened the Day for a
Korean Village.

INV He Lengthened the Day for a
Korean Village.
The Koreans In the vicinity of Seoul
the capital city, and around the treaty
ports are fast losing their early guile
lessness in trying to follow the march
OF western civilization, says The Youths
Companion. In the mountains of the
interior, however, conditions are much
the same as In the days when Korea
could justly be termed the hermit ma
ton" and the inhabitants knew little
and cared less about occidental pro
gress
Among the American missionaries
who were In the habit of making pro-
tracted trips In the Interior of the coun-
try there was one who, In addition to
being Jealous worker, was also good
deal OF wag.
On the occasion of one of bis inland
journeys he found himself at nightfall
In a small village, where he was to
spend the night in the matched
dwelling Of one Of the native converts.
The sleeping chamber was the usual
tiny room, heated by system of fues
beneath the mud floor and rendered
nearly alright by closely fitting oil
paper, windows and doors.
1t was fearfully hot and about mid
night the American could stand 1t no
longer. so he strolled out In the open
for a breath of air. The village was
wrapped In slumber, so Just for a joke
and with no Interior motive the mis-
sionary let out a lusty imitation of
ROSTERS crow. This was Immediately
taken up by a wakeful bird In court
yard near aud in few minutes every
fowl was adding his morning salute
to the general chorus.
Now watches and alarm clocks were
an unknown luxury in the village and
the people were accustomed to time
their rising hour by the ROSTERS In
a few moments, therefore, the sleepy
Koreans came struggling out of their
little huts and after starting the fires
on which to boil the morning rice
lighted their long bamboo pipes and
round In little groups to wait
for sunrise.
Their amazement Gnu be imagined
when the hours went by and still there
were no signs of light In the east.

the phenomenon.

MUCH INTEREST IN DRAKE GAME

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 2l.-(Special)-Ne-
braska students are manifesting a keen
interest in the two basket ball games to be
played between the Cornhuskers and Drake
Friday and Saturday nights. They believe
that these games will probably show who Is
to win the championship of the northern di-
vision Of the Missouri Valley Basket Ball
league.
So far only two games for the champion
ship of this section have been played. These
took place " the Cornhuskers and
Ames. and were won by the Nebraska men
teams In both sections of the conference
has a total of eight games to play. If Ne
braska can win from Drake in both of the
contests this week II will have a perfect
score of four games won and none lost,
while Drake and Ames, the other two
each lost two. After this Nebraska will
still have to meet both Drake and Ames
on their home floors, but If the Cornhuskers
have proved superior 10 each OF those
fives before II goes into Iowa for the final
games it ought TO have nc trouble in win

The supporters of the Cornhusker five,
however, expect no such easy games with
Drake as was the case with Ames last
week, Drake Is well coached and has had
the advantage OF training with the strong

Des Moines. Two of their forwards are

TRAINING TABLE TO STAY
Nebraska Athletic Board Reverses
Action of It's Representatives.
MEN CAN PLAY SUMMER BASEBALL
Board IL Unanimous on THIS Point.
Being Unwilling to Put Further
Restrictions on Its
Athletes,

LINCOLN, Jan. 21.-(Special telegram
At a stormy meeting this evening the Uni
versity OF Nebraska athletic board took a
decided stand in favor Of retaining the
training table in foot ball and declared in
favor Of allowing university athletes to
play summer base ball. The action of the
Nebraska board was brought about by the
work OF the Missouri valley conference at
its recent meeting in Kansas City in voting
six to one to abolish the training table
and in bringing up the question of summer
base ball for discussion.
Eight OF the eleven members Of the Ne
braska board we're present tonight. On the
training table question the vote stood six
to two and on the summer base ball reso-
luton it was unanimous.
Some heated words we're passed between
members OF the board in the discussion Of
the training table. A few of the members
criticised DR.. Clapp for his attitude at the
Kansas City meeting in voting to abolish
the table. They told the Nebraska repre-
sentative what they thought about his ac-
ton. DR.. Clapp and two OF the members
who are friendly to him defended his vote
at Kansas City.
AS a result of the hostile attitude Of part
of the board toward DIR. Clapp no delegate
was chosen to represent Nebraska at the
Missouri valley conference to be held in
Des Moines next Monday. DR.. Clapp had
expected to go to Des Moines, for that is
an adjourned meeting of the Kansas City
session. His opponents on the board, how
ever, objected to sending him there and
nominated Prof. Phillips to attend. One
ballot was taken on the two candidates
and the vote resulted in a tie. The vote of
the three absent members will he taken
tomorrow and the question Of choosing a
delegate settled.
Nebraska's action on summer base ball
probably will result in a more lenient atti-
tude being taken toward the problem at
Des Moines. The Nebraska board will not
stand for any more restrictions on its ath-
letes. Ames brought the question up at the
Kansas City meeting and wanted athletes
kept from playing with professional teams.
The stand taken by the Nebraska board
for a foot ball training table means that
the Missouri Valley conference will have
a big fight on its hands to abolish the table.
Kansas and Nebraska will be fighting to
keep it now. and 1t is believed will be able
to swing enough votes to rescind the ac-
tion Of the Kansas City meeting in throw
Ing out the table by a six-to-one vote.
