Easest research may yet disclose a restaurant baked apple that has had all its core removed. With all the things that woman has to reform she is still mighty sweet and attractive. That Massachusetts citizen who got a deer license when he wished to marry was a bad speller. Our notion of the meanest man is the New York thief who stole a bridegroom's best pair of trousers. "To not marry a poet," says one woman. But suppose he doesn't show my symptoms before marriage? A noted physician says that ragtime music is bound to drive us crazy. By the St. Vitus dance route, probably. The editor of a fashion magazine says "a perfect fit is fatal to a stout woman." Still the list of fatalities grow. No chance, of course, that the poor businessman will do her Christmas shopping without a 'terrible lot of urging. Weather prophets tell us that we are in for a hard winter, but none of the coal man show symptoms of dying of grief. Nine thousand tons of Christmas toys recently arrived from Hamburg. Have you got the price of your share of 'em yet? A New Jersey milliner has invented a hat that can be converted into an umbrella. Some of them could be made into awnings. China is disarming its new army, let it join the revolution. China is one of those countries in which it is dangerous to be safe. Scientists still hope to discover the origin of life, says a German professor. It will be just like them to decide that it is a germ. "The long Boston" is a variant of the tails comprising a stroll and a hug. The man who predicts its popularity states the case mildly. A Chicago man wants a divorce because his wife said "Jerry" in her sleep. In the vernacular of the sporting page, he got jerry to something. Beauty varies with the point of view. If the ugly and senseless hoop skirt becomes fashionable, womankind will arise and proclaim it a thing of beauty. A Philadelphia pastor wants to organize a church for women only. It wouldn't be a success. Every church must have three or four bald-headed deacons. A man who found a ten-dollar bill on the street in New York gave it to a policeman. It is unnecessary to mention the fact that he wasn't a New Yorker. A New York malden starved herself to become beautiful, but carried it so far that she died. The report fails to state whether she succeeded in improving her looks. The roller towel will be no longer on the roll-call if the crusade started against it is carried to a triumphant conclusion. In fact, the roller towel will be wiped out. "There will be no art in masculine fashions until men discard trousers," says a British artist. Then, as far as we are concerned, there will be no art in masculine fashions. For the benefit of the gentlemen who are doing most of the talking about the preservation of natural resources, it might be well to drop the hiat that conversation is not conservation A Chicago man who has been leading a double life has been sentenced to the penitentiary. Wouldn't it be better to have him deliver lectures explaining how he managed to support two families? Lots of actresses have to go to the trouble of marrying before they can use the advertisement of the divorce court to make business thrive again. Such is the irksomeness of red tape. A Berlin musician declares that ragtime is driving America crazy. This is ungrateful, when Parsival made a tour of the country to the tune of a fortune. Ragtime musicians argue in turn that it was only a crazy nation which would go mad over Parsival, for everything in this uncertain world depends on the point of view. The New Yorker who was fired for drinking soup-out of a plate was charged with disorder conduct. We are not strong on the legal game, but it strikes us that "making unnecessary nolese" would have been the proper charge. Chinese rebels are capturing cities but nobody has been able thus far to find out just why the rebels are going on. However, Chinese rebels in that it isn't necessary to have a definite reason there being an amount of a general insure in stock. OMAHA-IOWA ROAD General Manager Wallace Makes A Suggestive Inspection RAILROAD MEN ARE CURIOUS --- Action of the Fort Dodge Company Is Watched With Much Interest By Rock Island, Burlington and the Great Western. Des Moines. - Railroad men are curious to interpret the significance of an inspection trip made last week by General Manager H. U. Wallace of the Fort Dodge, Des Moines & Southern in company with the chief engineer of the latter via automobile over the proposed route of the Des Moines & Creston electric line to Creston & Creston connects at Clarinda with the completed road extending from Blanchard to Clarinda, a distance of eighteen miles. Coming northeast from Clarinda toward Des Moines, the proposed road will pass through Creston, Winterset and Macksburg and thence into Des Moines. It is suspected that the object Mr. Wallace has in mind was to ascertain the approximate volume of traffic, freight and passenger, the territory tributary to the line, would yield. This would imply more than casual interest by Mr. Wallace and those whom he represents, than that the reports he doubtless expects to make will determine whether the Fort Dodge, Des Moines & Southern will seek to acquire the property for extension of its line into the territory in southwest Iowa. The action of the Fort Dodge, company is being watched with much interest by the Rock Island, the Burlington and the Great Western. Bad Money Cause Of Death.

WE, THE THRONE, SHE GON'T BEEN WE, MORE BEEN A BUNCH OF THE BOWS. PETKIN N. Y EVENING MAIL TRUST IS OUSTED INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY FINED BY STATE OF MISSOURI. $50,000 PENALTY ASSESSED Bupreme Court Holds Concern Was Organized as Holding Body to Evade Laws, and Declares That It is an Unlawful Combine. Jefferson City, Mo.—The International Harvester Company of America is ousted from Missouri and fined $50,000 as an unlawful combine in restraint of trade, by a decision of the state supreme court. The court imposes this condition—that if the company pays the fine, separates itself from the International Harvester company of New Jersey, files a statement of its business and shows to the court that it will obey the laws in the court it may be permitted to continue to do business in the state. It has 60 days to comply with this order. The court sustained the position of Special Commissioner Brace on every contention. It was declared in the opinion that competition was lessened and that practically all of the harvester business was done by the respondent company in the state. It held that it is contrary to the laws of Missouri for one company to conduct the business of another, as, in this case, the New Jersey company had no license to do business in Missouri. In September, 1910, the International Harvester company was found guilty of violating the Missouri antitrust laws by a commissioner appointed by the state supreme court. The company was fined a $10,000 court for affirmation last April. The companies which make up the international company are prevented by the decision from conducting further business in the state. Commissioner Brace declared in his report that the international company, by reason of its enormous capital—$120,000,000—could not obtain a license in Missouri, so the International Harvester Company of America, as a selling agent, was organized and obtained a license. This concern, he said, was organized simply to evade the laws of the state which barred the holding company from entering. The commissioner found that the international had practically a monopoly on the sale of binders in Missouri. MACHINE TO TAKE EVIDENCE Trial Records Are to Be Take at Springfield, Mass., by Machine.

Atlanta Ga. — — Predicting great changes in American methods of government, especially with regard to political parties, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, presented his annual report to the thirty-first convention of that body here. He gave the referendum, initiative and recall the unqualified endorsement of organized labor and declared that a real, representative democracy had never been known in the United States because of the absence of those provisions. "This semideflicidion of judges," he said in defense of his insistence, "this sanctimonious cant about 'mob rule', some of which was in President Taft's message vetting the Arizona state bill, is mere drivel." President Gompers' report, which covers 60 closely printed pages and would make more than 30 columns in a newspaper, says it leaves many subjects untouched or inaccurately presented, with its membership now more than 1,750,000, the greatest in its history, and its financial condition excellent, the organization enters the thirty-first year of its work.

Another important development in the capital was the issuance of an edict ordering Hsi-Liang, former viceroy of Manchuria, to assume command at Jehol, where the summer residence of the emperor is situated in place of Fu-Ting, the Tatar general. This appointment has led to the belief in certain quarters that the court may retire to Jehol, leaving Yuan Kai Kai as chief executive until the c portility arrives for the court to reassume a measure of authority.

There is a perceptible increase in every department. Phipps Hall Bibb School, school enrollees as against twenty for the same date last year, with ten new students.

Supplying this growing demand of the public schools of the commonwealth is one of the main features of the work of the institute, the institute has incurred the most, competent talent available and provided the amplest means. Professor J. R. E. Lee, director of the academic department, is authority for the statement that, generally speaking, the new students are making higher classes as a result of the good work done by the public schools of the state of Alabama and the other states from which these students have come. Consequently the outlook is bright for a better year's work. Major J. B. R. Ramsey, counselor, general appearance of the new students and their eagerness to adapt themselves to the rigid discipline of the school. George R. Bridgeforth, director of the school of agriculture, which centers in Milbank Agricultural hall, is delighted with the outlook for his extensive department.

This spacious two-story building, the smallest of the boiler house, tool and storage rooms, occupies a floor space of 37,656 square feet.

Butteboro of the Pedabody board and Dr. Rose of the Pedabody fund, have recently inspected some of the work of the extension department and express themselves as being much pleased with the progress made in the way of getting the colored farmers to have better schoolhouses and to lengthen their school terms. "The extension department has been instrumental in influencing one county during the year 1910-11 to raise $7,000 to go into public school building and lengthen public school terms."
