OXFORD PUBLIC:LEDGER, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1906. 3 ISumor and Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH SHORT STORIES. PERT PARAGRAPHS. Sometimes capturing a thing is child's play compared to letting it go. When some men start the furnace fire cheerfully it is evidence that they are trying to square themselves. An amateur poultry raiser is as long on figures as he is short on eggs. You can't help admiring some men who have nerve enough to show how much they are stuck on themselves. The good die young, and the rich die hard. While some people are cheering a man on his upward course, there is generally a bunch lying low, waiting their turn to laugh. Having your own way is easy if you get the right people to indorse it. There is only one thing easier than telling how a thing ought to be done and that is failing to make good when you try to do it yourself. Seine people lie by instinct, some by farce of habit and some by the hour at so much per. The latter is to be rec ouiiii ended when viewed commercially, tut either of the former from an ar tistic standpoint. The Longfellow centennial will be celebrated on Feb 27 by the Cam bridge Historical society YV. D. How ells will make the chief address. Ten per cent of Colorado's popula tion, it has been estimated, is depend ent upon wages earned by employees of the Colorado Fuel and Irou com pany.

The curfew will ring every evening in the week at 7:30 except Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Owing to a blunder by a selectman there can be no jury trials on the civil side of the New Haven city court until January next, and then not until spe cial legislation is enacted to remedy the blunder. The blunder was in mak ing up a list of jurors illegally. A Guaranteed Cure For Piles.

MODES OF THE MOMENT. trlm-grow The Twin Destroyers. Football will have to get busy, for its chief rival in making the human race look like high grade sausage the automobile has been busy all summer and has been making a showing that will be hard to equal. That is where football is handicap pod. The season is so short for it that It must work overtime unless it wants to ccme in at the finish very much dis couraged and disgraced. "What a tremendous disadvantage our heroic forefathers labored under. When they got a notion that the world was in danger of overpopulation and want ed to do some skillful thinning they were obliged to get out with a club or a battleax and hack away. "We have reduced the thing more to a science. "With the base football season for short but effective work and the automobile for the long pull we have the problem solved, although Fourth of July does help out some. For steady wear there is nothing like a cheviot double breasted suit, semi fitting, with hip length coat. Skirts are almost invariably med, while coats and jackets more complicated in detail with every new design. Everywhere in every material one sees striped effects in silks, velvets, tweeds, light voiles and chiffons. Ev erything runs to stripes or crossbar patterns. One sees a good many vests with the short coats, made of velvet, braid, em broidery and lace. Some of them are very elaborate, and they certainly add a finish to a plain cloth or plaid cos tume. Broadcloth trimming in folds, stitch ed straps and bands are used a great deal on separate bodices of chiffon cloth. Sometimes the cloth is cut out in disks, circles and other designs and appliqued upon the blouse material. In colors to harmonize with the skirt these are very beautiful and tasteful. New York Post.

Scene time ago it was reported that Air. Rockefeller was lost. Although the members of his family didn't exhibit any special concern or put a want ad. In the papers "Lost One multimillion aire; finder please return and receive reward," yet several of the special cor respondents did not think they were not doing their duty to society unless they threw a couple of conniption fits. The average man could think of noth ing more delightful than being lost with Mr. Rockefeller's roll, and he wouldn't take any particular pains to report the case to the police until he had made it look thinner than the neighbors had seen it looking for some time. "When the man who is lost can buy the first town that he comes to, so that he may at once feel at home, the aver age man will not waste much sympathy on him. Vivian Prescott in "A Child of the Regiment" is a new road attraction. William A. Brady has found in "As Ye Sow" a financial successor to his ' 'Way Down Last."

Slualth is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with broad streets, frequent fountains, many stately stat ues, numerous open squares, large wooded parks, a swift river flowing directly through the center f the residence section, galleries that contain several of th finest recollections of pictures and sculptu- in the world, li braries, academies of design, schools of science, a magnificent opera house, a theater that was eiveted exclusively for the production of Wagner s operas, and various other attractions which dc not disturb the classic mosphere, but appeal to the artist, Tie student and whoever seeks for beauty and for rest. No city of equal size has so many noble monuments and public buildings, while probably a larger number of the population of Munich is engaged in study and artistic and scientific pur suits than may be found in any othei city. The Royal library is one of the greatest in existence, probably second only to ihe British museum. William E.
