Children about the above picture of The
Pig "
The following are the prize winners.
Little piggie, he was sick.
Says Papa Pig to me.
l won't be gone minute.
I'll buy some cake and tea
1t smelled so good he took bite
Just one-but very big.
l guess he could not help it-cause,
You know. he was pig.

Said Mr. Enchanting Pig to his wife,
Ny breakfast will eat.
Then I'll run, catch my car,
And you bet I'll keep the end seat.

There was an enchanting pig from Cork,
Who ate without knife fork,
Until this greedy old pig
Became awfully big
That he's now sold In the market pork.

FEDERAL COURT IN K. Z.
The january Term win Open on Next
Monday.

Just now the office of the United
States district attorney is preparing for
the business of the January term of
the federal court at Kansas City which
will begin on January IL. No import
ant criminal cases will be taken up but
an effort will be made to dispose of a
number of postoffice robber cases which
have furnished perplexity for the pos
tai authorities during the last year.
Among them will be those of Wilmot
Shields and Roy Thornbrugh who are
charged with the robbery of the post
Office at Quenemo in Usage county, and
of Frank Martin and Robert Mann who
robbed the office at Morrill,, Kan, al
most a year ago. The last two were
members of a gang which made its
headquarters at Gerardy. An interest
ing development which has not, how
ever, aided the federal authorities
much in running down other members
of this gang, was the appearance in
Topeka a week or two ago of a woman
believed to be Martins mother, who
was attempting to dispose of a large
quantity of postage stamps. DR.. H. H.
Keith reported her to the federal auth
critics but she had become alarmed and
left town before they got her trace.
Charles Humbert, an old offender
against the city liquor ordinances OF
Topeka, is liable to get a federal sem
tence for selling without a license at
OSkaloosa- similar charge is placed
against Walter A. Woods of Topeka.

REPRESSIvE MEASURES.
Uruguay Is Trying to Break Up
Revolutionary Movement.

Montevideo, Jan. 5.-Repressive meas
ures are being adopted by the govern
ment to break up the revolutionary
rnovement Just started by the so-called
Nationalist party. The ostensible cause
of the movement IS the presence of two
regiments of cavalry in the department
of RIVERA which the government sent
there during the conflict between Uru-
er1ay and Brazilians along the boundary
line.
The Nationalist. who have ma
iority in that department, say there is
no necessity for the troops to remain
longer but the true cause seems to be
the decision of the government to break
down the influence of Saravia, petty
local chief, who enjoys great popularity
and influence in Rivera. The move
ment up to the present has been with
out Importance. though there were al
ready several collisions.

Hundreds of Them Caught in a

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.-A panic accom-

averted by the remarkable activity of
the fire department of the textile mills
of William Smith & Sons. The firm en-
ploys between 500 and 900 girls. A few
hours after they had gone to work
flames were discovered in the lower
part of the building, practically cutting
off all means of exit save by the fire
escapes. An alarm was quickly turned
in and the prompt arrival of the fire
men seemed to partially allay the
fears of the hundreds of girls, who had
rushed to the fire escapes. All were
taken safely from their perilous posi-
lions. The flames were extinguished
after a loss of $4,000 to the building
