Hugh O'Donnel, leader of the Home
stead strike, was placed on trial Mon
day morning for murder. It is In
derstood that no attempt will DO made to
prove an abibi, as was done in the cases
of Critchlow and Clifford, who we're ac-
quilted, but that an entire new line of
defence has been decided upon. Great
interest il manifested in the trial on ac-
count of the prominent part taken in the
strike by O'Donnell. O'Donnell has
been in Jail ever since he surrendered to
the authorities, bail having been refused.
An oil we'll has just been finished at
Roman, in Russia, which yields more
oil than the combined output of the en-.
tire Southwest district. 1t started off at
10000 bbls. a day. A surprising feature
of the phenomenal well is that Roman
is in the oil fields where drainage has
been more or less constantly going on
for years. The daily production of the
Russian fields is authoratively stated to
DO 10000 bbls. Geysers such as the
Roman well are admirably calculated to
cause he's sturdy phlegmatic Baku pro-
Queer to feel his oats. They seem to be
able to find phenomenal oil gushers over
there in Russia with astonishing frequen-
Cy and and alarming ease. Derrick.
whether you handle a pick or a pen,
a wheelbarrow or a set of books, dig
bitches or edit a paper, ring an auction
bell or write funny things, you must
work" says a self-made man. "If you
look around you, you will see tina the
men who are most able to live the rest of
their days without work are the men that
work the hardest. Don't be afraid of
killing yourself with work. 1t is beyond
your power to do that. Work gives an
appetite for meals; it lends solidity to
your slumhers; it gives the appreciation
of a holiday. The buster you are, the
less deviltry you will get into, the sweet
er will be your sleep, and the better sat-
isied the world will be with you.'-Ex.
There's Sc much 'anti-crinoline' talk
it 10 in a fair way to have the usual effect,
and we need not he surprised to see u re-
vival of the feminine skirt of vast cir
conference. One day the world is in
formed that an anti-criuoline league has
been formed in Boston the mex day it
is reported hat 10000 influential women
of England have signed a protest against
the introduction of crinoline; and next
day a statesman in the Minnesota Legis-
lature has submitted a bill prohibiting
hoop skirts. All this sort of thing is
likely to have the same result as the adj
monition of Sam Weller to the cabmen
not to put a certain offenders head I'M
der the pump. The suggestion prom pity
resulted in a rush to the pump.-Frauk-

The winter of 1928 will be memorable
as the n Of most widespread severity
known in this generation. In this coun-
try there has been more severe and con-
tinued cold than for many years, and in
the far South there has been All unusual
amount of snow and freezing weather.
There has been snowballing on the streets
of Savannah, heavy snow in Texas and
frequent sharp freezing in northern Flo
rida. All Europe, from the Attic circle
to the Mediterranean, has experienced a
most distressing and unusual wintry Sc
verify. 1t is necessary to go back forty
or fifty years in most regions to fine a
precedent. In Austria and Hungary the
cold has been more intense thar in any
winter since lS49. At Buda-Pesth the
mercury has marked 20 degrees below
zero.-Franklin News.
Take care of your stomachs, boys
was the advice of the late Judge James
Campbell to a company of young Phila-
delphia lawyers with whom he was
chatting. The conversation had turned
to the subject of longevity. ITO what
do you attribute your long life?" asked
one of the company of the octogenarisn.
''To a weak stomach" replied Mr.. Camp
bell with his usual kindly smile and a
humorous twinkle. "a weak stomach ?''
eyes, a weak stomach reiterated the
the old gentleman. "You see, | realized
40 years ago that 1 had it, and started in
TO take care of it. AS a result / establish
ed regimen that has resulted beneficially
to not only my stomach but my whole
system and here l am to-day over 80.
Take care of your stomachs, boys, and
your stomach will take care of you"
Reference was recently made to a ty-
biographical error on the new one-cent
Columbus postage stamp, an ar instead
of a b in "Columbus," but a greater
blunder still has been found. On the
one-cent stamp Columbus is pictured in
sight of land, standing or the deck of his
vessel. He is represented there as a
smoth shaven man, not a sign of a beard
being visible. On the two-cent stamp
Columbus is shown as landing on San
Salvador, holding aloft the banner of
CASTLE, with a full beardi As only a few
hours elapsed between the time he sight
ed land and the landing, his beard out
stripped Jonah's gourd completely. This
will be a grand opportunity for a hair
vigor company. All they will need will
be testimonials TO prove that Columbus
used their particular hair grower on that
memorable night four hundred years
ago. -BlizZard.
