With the approach of the cold
weather comes the old and familiar
story that the natural gas supply is
about to fail in the fields from which
the gas for Topeka is furnished. 1t
happened to be discounted this year,
though, by previous report from the
public gas inspector who presented
facts and figures to show that the sup
ply of gas in the Kansas fields is suf-
ficient to last for many, many years.
AS this official says. there is no dan
ger of a gas shortage this winter or
for winters to come unless the pump
ing or piping facilities of the gas COM
pany are put out of commission

The recent decision of the federal
court declaring the Standard Oil COM
pany to be an outlaw and ordering its
dissolution had a most important look
when it was first announced. But
row that it has been analysed. it does
lot appear to be So very much after
all. One of the eminent ATTORNEYS for
the company declares that under it the
Standard will not have to dissolve in
reality. He insists that it merely
means that the Standard shall dis
tribute among its stockholders it's
holdings in subsidiary companies. An
other prominent attorney, who has
helped in many important legal fights
against the oil trust, declares that this
recent victory against it is only a
theoretical" one. And as the de-
cision in question is to be appealed to
the supreme court, it is premature, to
say the least, to discuss just what its
ultimate effect will be.

Eunice was the first to arrive. She
took shelter behind a bush a foot this
side of the disputed line. She didn't
like it bit She felt she couldn't be
brave in such a cause. If any one
came from the other house what was
she to say?
That question was soon answered.
She looked up to see young man, re-
volver in hand, standing within seven
feet of her. He was also on the firing
line. The two looked at each other
and then away. Then they looked
back again. Then the young man said
as he raised his hat:
"I am the generals son. and I pre-
sumo you are the daughter of the
commodore"
Miss Eunice inclined her head.
1--WE are here to shoot each other
under certain circumstances"
Miss Eunice lifted her revolver into
view and tried to look very brave.

and probably both will fall. 1t is also

What is Whisky?

Washington, D. c. Dec. 7.- President Taft is putting in all his spare time these days strug- gling with the question what is whiskey?" By succeeding ap. peals the ques tion has been car ried through the food and drink experts of the department of agriculture, charged with the administr ation of the pure food and drugs act, to the solicitor general of the United States and to the President himself.
 The whole controversy hinges on the question of whiskey arti- tically aged and highly rectified whiskey or imitation whisky, compared with whisky which is aged and keyed by the old fash toned method of storage in white oak barrels which have been fire charred on the inside.
