NOTES OF TIE GAME.

Some big league style with two UNI
pircs. As usual, Johnson was the fea-
tuTe attraction. his declamatory efforts
exciting the disabilities of the assem-
blcd natives.
Eddie Herr, scout for the ST. Louis
Browns, looked 'em over from the
grandstand. Pa Rourke was also on
the job
Pat Flaharty covered himself with
glory in the sixth inning with one OF
the pTettiest catches ever Iamped in
the yard Graham was on first when
Wallace drove a low, fast liner into
right which TO all intents and purposes
was good for a clean single, but not
so. The bald-headed athlete raced in
regardless of any and all speed limits,
and diving head first, grabbed the bail
Graham was way past second base and
the throw to first completed some
double.
Otto, Koepping broke into the Burg
lars league in the seventh, stealing a
clean hit from Ohlin. The ball, a fast
gToGnGer was between first and sec.
ono. The Elgin comedian grabbed it
on lucky bound and threw out his
man at first, after a hard run.
Otto Nogel is the whole life of the
Danville lunch. The Davenport natives
apparently cannot forgive him because
he once wore an Islander uniform, and
were ION" him all afternoon.

arrangement left a small open square in the center and in this was placed a quantity of dry wood. The surface of the pit was covered with turf with the exception of the center, and the pit was ready for firing.
 The man in charge of the pit had, in the meantime, buil6 a fimsy shanty nearby, in which he lived, and, when all was ready he fired the dry wood in the center of the pit and, after 1t got started, covered the top of this also with earth. Down at the base or the pit vent-holes were made to admit a little air and then the pit was watch ed The purpose was to transform the wood to charcoal without admit ting enough air to create flame any where. From the time the pit was three-ouarters burned until it was fin ished the man in charge was obliged to see that the turf covering did not get thin enough for the fire to come out. Water was brought when the pit was finally drawn, with which to orench any spark, and the char coal was raked out and piled in huge cribs and was then ready to be hauled to market.
 For years the burning and sale of charcoal formed a considerable indus try but some twenty or thirty years

SLAVERY
ANCIENT ORIGIN.

Slavery in the sense of subjection, Implying that life is the absolute prop erty. of another, is unknown in Korea, though there is an existing servitude Or bondage, which, for the want of a more appropriate name is called tslav- cry" As will be seen from the follow ing. description, there are many essen t1a1 differences from the slavery that has been known in other parts of the world and compared with which Ko- rean slavery is a very mild form of bondage.
 Slavery in Korea, from an historical point of view. is quite an ancient in- stttution, for 1t was introduced into Korea from China by Kee-ja, who came to this Land of Morning Calm in the year 1122 B. c. In the penal code which he laid down for the gov ernment of the people, he decreed slav- cry to be the punishment for either theft or adultery. Doubtless the only reason that can be assumed for this is the fact that in those days there were no prisons or reformatories, no place wherein a criminal could be con- fined.
 The criminals were sold into bond age with the assurance that, being the actual property of their masters, a close eye would be kept upon them and that society would be rid of their depreda tions. When the descendants Of Kee-ja, after being driven by the Chinese from the northern portion of Korea, founded new Kingdom in South Korea, they instituted slavery upon a more general basis. It became a recognized institution and received no check until some centuries later when Buddhism was introduced into the country.
 The Buddhists taught the tranemi- grafton of souls through all forms and phases of life, hence when it came to be believed that the spirit of the slave in the world might hold that of posi- tton of master in other worlds, the fear of severe retribution caused the instt- tuition, to become less popular. AT Ns@#
 Not very long after the comm ence- ment of the Ko-ryaw dynasty, in 913, A. D., Buddhism came into high favor at court, and from that time there Is seen very marked deteriora ton in Athe principles inculcated The monks, who were living lives of ease and com fort, modified their teachings to make them acceptable to the Korean king and court From this time until the Japanese invasion organized by Hide yoshi in 1592, slavery was again a na- tional institution. f M
 During this invasion of s1592 so many men were. killed. off. that a new decree was promulgated forbidding the hold ing of any male slaves; this is still in force, for 1t has neverS been repealed. Thus we arrive at the cause of the great outs landing fact regarding slaV- cry in Korea. During the last few centuries there was not single male slave.

PRESIDENT TO DECIDE

AS the result Of complaints against the
recent order Of Quebec Canada. purport-
ing to remove all restrictions or export
tax from the timber of certain crown
lands Of that province, President Taft
personally will decide whether wood pulp
and paper made from the timber affected
will be entitled to free entry into the
United States.
According to representations to this
government, Quebecs action amounts to
a discrimination against American hold
ers of crown lands. and to grant the free
entry privilege. it is declared, would
simply defeat the real intent Of the wood

reciprocity agreement. The State and

the situation and will make joint re-


port to the President
The only operative clause of the reel
procity act admits free of duty all wood
cut from lands where expectation is UNI
restricted and wood pulp and paper made
from such timber. Its primary purpose.
it is declared. was TO obtain from Canada
the removal of all restrictions upon the
expectation of timber into the United
States for manufacture into pulp and
paper here. Complaints to this govern
ment declare that Quebec has removed
restrictions only on the timber lands
where the province has received practical
assurance that the timber will not be ex-
ported. but only the wood pulp and paper
made from it i'm Canada.
1t is also alleged that the province
has refused to remove the restrictions
from other crown lands in the same
province controlled by Americans.

Evans -Snider Buel Company, a
very large live stock commission
company of Mutt Stock Yards, H.,
has the following to say about
high grade cattle:
s'THE COST OF PRODUCING POOR
CATTLE
The great cattle producing states
are paying more attention to
breeding up their herds than ever
before and the states heretofore
not so largely identified with the
cattle industry are beginning to
see the Importance of producing a
better grade of stock. Country
bankers in the great states of Ar.
kansas, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Alabama and Tennessee should en-
courage their farmers to breed up
their cattle. Many hundreds of
carloads of cattle from these states
have come to this market this
year, the average weight Of the
animals about 500 pounds for aged
cattle, and the average price
around 1915 per hundredweight.
When one considers the fact that
each one of these cattle has con
sumed feed enough to have pro-
duced a 750 to 900 pound animal
that would sell around a. rs per
hundredweight, the difference in
favor of raising good cattle begins
to take definite form in the shape
of a twenty dollar bill for each
head"
