j. Ogden Armour to Retire from the Man
agemeet OF the Vast

Chicago, Jan lit is current that
all of the Armour interests will be
formed into corporation and that
j. Ogden Armour will retire from the

The Nebraska Senatorial situation.
Lincoln Neb.. Jan. 1.-THE out
look is that when the Nebraska legis-
lature begins baloting for senator's
tomorrow it will be without pre-
liminary caucus on the part of the,
republican majority. That means
there will be no election on the first
ballot. The failure to hold caucus
is on account of the inability of many
senators to agree on rules governing
their deliberations. The fact that
two senator's are to be elected compli.
Gates matters and republican leaders
fear the contest is drifting into a
deadlock. Assistant Secretary Of

hopeful view of the situation and be-
lieves that with mutual concessions
the fight can be settled on its merits.

MODERN FABLES.
BY GEORGE ABE. ST. NeA~ ~

Once there was a CRATER who would
do anything for Money, except Work.
He had acted, as Capper and Plugger
for all sorts of Shady Enterprises and
he had helped to operate every variety
of Skin Game on the Farmers who came
out of the Union Station carrying Tele-
scope Valises and Shoe Boxes full of
Lunch. He had given the Razoo and the
neat Double Cross and the quick ling
ling to Cattlemen who hang around and
invite Trouble after they have drawn
their Money. He stood in with the Po-
lice and knew an Alderman and the Law
had no Terrors for him.
In fact the CRATER thought he was one
of the Brightest and Best. When the
Fish were running and the Nets came
up heavy he would wear a large Stone
in front and smoke a 15-Center with a
Gold Label on 1t and feel sorry for the
Tads that weres putting down the Cedar
Blocks for $110 a Day.
