The DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Twas the day before Christmas,
and all through the place
There we're trouble and racket, q
horrible case;
Little Willie had found where the
raisins were hid,
And he stuffed himself full to the
tonsils he did!
Little Daisy discovered high on
shelf 80
A dolly she was to have for herssI
When mamma found out she at
once took the doll
To be sen. to the store whence II
came, and a squall
That was heartfelt and piercing
went up from the child,
Making promises never to snoop
any more
If the dolly were not taken back to
the store,
The grocer'S boy mixed up his OF
ders and brought
About forty FIVE things that nobody
had bought,
While he failed to deliver the goods
that were wanted.
Poor mother by all kinds Of trouble
was haunted,
A splendid gift came from a fara
way friend
For whom there was not a thing
ready to send.
The present intended for father
had not
Been bought for some reason;some
body forgot.
The dish she intended to give to
Aunt Sue
Was knocked frem table and
broken In two!
There were whooplng and bowling
and trouble all day.
And thirty times mother turned
sadly to say,
"If they'd keep the schools open
today and tonight
The world perhaps still would b.
lovely and bright"

BUTTE, MONT, Proceedings to have

Des Moines. Iowa, July 15:-The failure
of the democrats Of Iowa to reaffirm the
Kansas City platform at the recent state

Continuing, Secretary Harvey said:
President Roosevelt will not be elected
President of the United States to succeed
himself. He cannot be, because he Is
diametrically opposed to many Of the old
time principles and doctrines Of republi.

for the reorganization Of the popul1st

THE RATHRoNE SISTERS

ney seek. Orrictal recognition as the
K. P. Auxiliary.
IOWA FALLS. IOWA-The fact that
the supreme chancellor of the knights Of
Pythias is gathering the opinions Of the
various lodges over the country regarding
the helpfulness OF the Rathbone Sisters
order as an auxiliary of the Pythian fra
ternity indicates that the matterais again
to come up before the supreme lodge at its
next session and it is thought by some
that the recognition so long sought by the
auxiliary will be Forthcoming. Supreme
Chancellor Bangs is compiling statistics
that will be utilized In considering, this
matter and the information thus gained
will reflect the sentiment of the various
Pythian lodges in the United States touch
ing the advisability Of recognizing the
ladies order and granting the use of the
Pythfan name in connection Herewith.
For years the leaders of the Rattlbone
Sisters have sought the recognition usual
ly accorded an auxiliary organization by
the large fraternities but for many rea-
sons 1t has been denied. This has resulted
in campaign being waged in favor OF
recognition and it is minated that the
next session of the supreme lodge may
grant the long-sought quest. -tS,e, j

JAMEST N. D.-Following a
stormy meeting of the city council AID
erman Harry Past handed in his resigna-
ton and announced that he always did
business in a pleasant manner and did not
propose to spend any further time in the
council where there Is a constant strife.
It Is probable that other members Of the
council will resign and allow the mayor
to do all the work of looking after the
improvements until their successors are
chosen. The vote at the session evidenced
that Ave Of the aldermen. Including Past,
who resigned, stand together, and as there
are only eight members Of the council his
action created some surprise. There is
likely to be a bitter political fight when
his successor Is chosen.

Williams, Arrested In jackson County,
" MIMI, lis Frank bly,, Badly Wanted.

MASON CITY, IOWA.-In the arrest of
George Williams In Jackson county,
Mimi, last week, the sheriff of this
county has taken unusual satisfaction.
He proves to be Frank BLY,, one Of the
men who escaped jail here three years
ago with a pal, who was sent here for
safe keeping from Algona. The escape
of BLY, was one of the shrewdest things
which ever occurred here. Bly, or Will
liams. as he gave his name to the Off
GERS Of Jackson with a PAL was arrested
at Whittemore for stealing. creamery
product, The marshal escorted them to
the eeaboose,- where they were Joined by,
"a third, aecomplice, and they! seized the
marshal. bound him ctos the stove, built
a. fire in 1t and then left. Before the fire
had been under way enough to burn the
marshal and the jaat,e he was released by
his neighbors, who were aroused by his
cries in the early hours Of the morning.
BLY, and his partner were captured and
were taken to Algona, but the jail being
defective, they We're sent to this place
for safe keeping. One night they man
aged to pick the lock Of their cell and
secreted themselves In the corridor. It
was the habit Of the deputy sheriff to go
into the corridor just before retiring
every evening and throw on a pailful Of
coal 70 rthe night. He left the keys In
the door, and was in the act Of coInplet-
ing the work when the prisoners escaped.
Nothing has been heard Of BLY, since till
the man Williams was arrested for burg
larry last week in Jackson county. The
description Tailed with BLY, and the sher-
if wrote for hts identity and received
|5unmistakable evidence Of the marks
which make the. two men the same. Bly,
was arrested here some years ago for
burglary at Thornton and sent to Ana
mosa, where he lost one finger, marking
him with a peculiar stump. This and
other marks of Identification enabled the
sheriff here to prove without doubt that
one Of his escaped guests has been To-
Gated. The Algona sheriff will take
charge of Williams as soon as the Min
Inesota officials have gotten thru with
