r VOL XXII Price 40 nmwmmtmtMama mmm DAifCE LAST NIGHT. PERSONAL MENTION. NEWS FORECAST rvB CHRISTMAS EXERCISES AT GENERAL NEWS i tsugai in toncora gi By The Mai About Tain. While the usual' hot air brigade that had gathered in one of the local barber thopa Saturday night was dis cussing various subjects from when the Southern Railway builds a decent passenger station to why don't the police make a determined effort o break up the gambling dens hero, where so many young boys are ruin ing their lives and causing their mothers so much sorrow and anguish by spending their nights in them, the conversation turned on a foreigner who conducts a fruit and candy store here. "You know that fellow is nnUin'.' money and I don't see how a Syrian can do so well here," said one fel low." "He is a pretty bright fellow and is certainly well informed. You would be surprised at his knowledge of the Bible; he knows it better than i i m jij This caught one of the tonsorial artists, who turned from the lather ed face of his customer and said: "Sure he knows it. Man, that fel low was raised over there where the Bible was 'got up.'" The Concluding Argument. Several nights ago a merry party vl young people, mostly lads and las sies home from colleges, were at a WjPjJLJoeiaathering. . During the evening the conversation 'tunied oil what the party considered the trials and hardship young people have to undertake. Finally the question arose which was the hardest task, working or going to school? The matter was discussed both pro and eon for something when one young fellow, who had experienced the un pleasant reality of the continuous monotony that is derived from the reaseless grind of tackling a job day after day, assumed one of those wis-er-than-you attitudes and attempted to end the argument by casually re marking that "Jordan's road is a hard road to travel anyway." The idea of an old fashioned, plain, unadorned, unimbellished statement like that ending the conversation was too much for a certain college bred lady, who had an idea that her vocab ulary contained a majority of the ad jectives that ever flowered forth from the stalk of language and who pos sessed a keen desire to show her ."learning." Assuming a Minerva like pom and with her pretty face looking straight at her listeners she said: "The perambulating progres sion in the pedestrian excursion along the far-famed thoroughfare of for tune eaat up by the banks of the aparkling river of Palestine is indeed Attended with a heterogeneous con glomeration of unforeseen difficul ties." Heeded Assistance. Mr. Charka Keen, the obliging 'clerk at the St. Cloud, was out in front of the hotel a few mornings go taking a little recreation by watching the merry throng of Christ mas shoppers and incidentally con templating what he was going to do with all the numerous things Santa Claus wae going to bring him, when . a man drove up in a carriage. The airmnger neppeu uui nuu tiuv giauvv ' at him showed that he was suffering ' with hat all too common ailment '. known aa "exaggerted ego." "Say, . dov. .- ne sua. who one 01 muee new- . rich-quick airs, while pointing at the . man who houses the homeless, "you i ) a t Vi . t mi, il rA twMn tYtim ; phaeton; stabutate Mm; donate unto , him an adequate supply of the nu ' tritioua ailment and when the aurora, or morning shall again illuminate the horiaon I will reward thee a pecun iary compensation for thine amiable hospitality." ' Hardly had he stopped speaking before the clerk had dashed through : the storm door to his chief. "Say, leaaly, "there is a man on the out . aide who' wants to see yon. - He is either a lunatic, eraiy or insane, don't know which," . Cnta a lloota. Delightful Social Tim at Elka Club. For Benefit of the Thompson Orphanage. Quite the prettiest dance of the season, so far, was given last night under the auspices of the Thompson Orphanage Guild. Forty couples were dancing and when one o'clock came it was all too soon. The grand march began promptly at half-past nine and was gracefully led by Mr. and Mrs. Locke Ervin. The favors were pink chrysanthe mums. The fourth dance was also a figure, led by Mr. E. T. Cannon, the favors being false fares. The eighth figure, led by Mr. Blackweld er, favors were Dutch caps and dunce caps. The twelfth, figure, led by Mr. E. C. Bernhardt, Jr., favor, pink parasols and rattlers. At 11 o'clock the arty was invite,! into the reading loom, where coffee and sandwiches weie served by M4dame. J. C. Gibson and M. L. Brown. The music was furnished by the Aslmry Orchestra and was excellent. The young ladies of the commit toe wish to express most grateful thauks to each and every one of the mem bers of the Elks Club, for their cour tesy and kindness in lending their rooms for "The Charity Ball." The chaperones were: Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Ervin, Mr. and Mrs. M. L Brown, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Yorke. Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Cannon, Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Cannon, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Cannon, Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

About eighty-five dollars was cleared for the orphans and their gratitude as well as that of the Guild is extended to all who helped. G. Mr. Kriminger Jacks Up Onr No. 6 Scribe. Mr. Editor: Will you he so kind as to give me a little 8are in your valuable paper T In the No. 5 items of November 27tli. your correspondent reports the big hog of the season tipping the scales at 878 pounds gross weight. On De cember 11th the same items give the net weight at 842 pounds, nearly as big after being dressed as before. Very good, indeed. On December 21 the same scribe tells about another 556 pounder and also tells us how much lard and bacon the two hogs made, giving the bacon at 1053 pounds, lard 346 pounds. It seems that said hogs made nothing but lard and bacon, no sausage, no ribs, no backbone, no heads, no fe-t, no ears, no cracklings, no loss in rendering the lard all lard and bacon. Mr. Editor, I am somewhat of an amateur pig raiser myself. My ex perience in carving up those hogs would be something like this: Weight. Hams 230 Shoulders 224 Sides 284 Sausage 112 Lard 310 Ribs 55 Backbone 55 Heads 62 Feet and ears 25 Cracklings 30 Loss from total weight 12 You will find that there will be some loss from the total weight; the way I have cut it np is approximately correct.

The I'nited Stales Circuit courts, which have constituted an important navt of the Federal judiciary system for nearly a century past, cease their ex istence today, The passing of thesj courts, seveuly-sev en in number and covering the entire country, is one of the reforms provided for in the new judiciary code, enacted by Con gress on March .'! last, to become ef fective January 1. 1012.
