Cooper Wins His Right
To Play with Giants

The fans" gave it to him every time
he came to bat, but the best Jim could
DO in the way OF hitting was a single TO
right. He got TO first Oh an error in the
second inning and stole second, but after
reaching third on put-out he was
trapped on a dribble TO the pitchers box
and thrown out at the plate
The Giants We're not in hitting pooi
to-day. and victory came largely as
result OF the wild throwing OF the pitch
ere 20 bases. Pate made two TO first
which led up 10 runs. while Huenke had
a penchant for throwing to second with
no one covering the bag. The Giants
stole only six bases. and about as many
more were gained by dint Of errors on
the part of the two boxmen. Ratliffe.

EMPEROR PUT HAND TO PLoW.
Annual Ceremony Observed Each
Spring in Field Near Picking.

Now that China has become a re
public and the old order of things is
changing so rapidly, will any one make
ii his business to attend to the inn
portant ceremony of the early spring
piowing, which from time immemorial
has been performed by the Chinese
emperors in the sacred field near Pc
king?
This curious ceremony was observed
FOR the purpose of impressing upon the
Chinese people the Importance of till
ing the earth and sticking To the farm
The emperor. accompanied by his reti-
nue., was accustomed to proceed in
great state to the sacred field. AT each
of the four corners of the field stood
a pavilion, where the seers of wheat
and other cereals were kept. In the
| middle of the field numbers of mag
| nifieently attired eourtiers held aloft
| many -colored flags. while thousands of
farmers looked on, each holding some
agricultural implement in his hand
Placing his left hand on the pillow
and holding a whip in his right hand
the emperor began the ceremony. BY
Encouragement, the officers did thei.
allotted shares, some welding hoes and
others scattered seeds out of baskets,
as if sowing them. While the emperor
was busy with the pillow. which was
hitched to Il richly caparisoned bull
lock, draped in yellow, and led by two
of the enperors body guard.
When the emperor finished his stint
at the pillow the royal princes went
through a similar performance and
after them nine of the highest couT
tiers took turn. Thus the cere-
mony was completed and the royal
plowman and his train returned To the
palace.
Now that so many other ceremonies
have been done away with, the world
mildly wonders whether there will he
