KERMIT's OPINION OF Dan. -
1t seems that Kermit" son of
Theodore Roosevelt, is a splinterfrOm
the same stump as his dad, SO far as
individuality of action and vigor OF
speech are concerned. He lately ap.
prenticed himself to a carpet-weaver
to learn the trade and incidentally 10
get money for purchase of a uniform
to appear on dress parade in posi-
tiOns which entitle him to that dis
tinctiOn at times. While a student.
Kermit, after an alteration with his
father, regarding some trouble as to
allowances, thus expressed himself
regarding Dad" The whole trou-
BILE with him is, that when he goes
to wedding he wants to be the
bride, and when he goes to funeral
he wants to be the corpse. Well
done Kermit, you couldn't have hit
the bull's-eye better, had You pOked
it with the muzzle of your gun.

: not unusual. Birds often make the
most serious mistakes about wealth
cr conditions. In 1907. the Indictment
season opened rather early in the
midland region Of the United States
and the northward migration Of
thrusheS and warblers and native
SpdrroWS was AT It's height, when
on April - a heavy snowfall occurred
over a large area of the Central West.
At ST. Paul the snow lay foot deep
and il was pitiful to see the little
kinglcts and warblers searching the
snow covered bushes and trees for in
sects which lay numb and buried I'M

the suffering among the inSectivorOus

and even alighted on the verandas of
houses in search of food. Millions of
birds literally starved to death on ac-
count of this unreasonable snowfall

GIGANTIC IcICLEs. During the
prolonged freeze and dripping from
the piles of STOW on roofs of build
ings, where fires have been kept
burning inside, icicles have formed
ten or twelve feet long and of CORES
pOnding thickness. Some of these
may be seen on the China restaurant
and, the laundry buildings. on op-
i,Osite corners of Third and Main
streets, that have attracted the at
tention of all who passed by, as ver-
liable curiosities. These accumula-
tons generally fall from their own
weight, when of moderate length.
When formed from ewes of slight
projection, however, wherein the
columns of ice make slight connec-
tons with the sidewall from their
close proximity to it, that have
served to steady as well as sustain
the weight.

THE TUBE WOMAN Has APPEARED
ACROSS THE DEEP BLUE SEA.-A Lon
don cablegram of the I'd announces
that the tube woman is already a
familiar object on Bond or Regent
streets, the great shopping thorough
fares. Its beauty may be imagined,
from the description given, that it
looks like an animated joint of stove
pipe. 1t is designed on the lines
OF ecclesiastical vestments. Sou
tame, "Cassock" and "Frock" are
names given to the clinging robe. a
distinguishing mark of which is the
rigidly severe line of buttons that fas-
tens it either straight down the back
orstraight down the front. No won
der the title "stovepipe" is given to
the woman who packs her body into a
frock of this severely simple order
and does all she can to make her
figure shapeless. English corset
ieres, however, view the situation
with little alarm. 1t does not matter
to them whether the waist is elm
mated from the catalogue of q wo-
mans charms or not.

IT is reported on good authority
that the State banks in Oklahoma
are in a prosperous condition. At
torney General Bonaparte eliminated
National banks from the operation OF
the guaranty law for the security OF
depositors. Now it appears the
State banks are receiving the bulk
OF the deposits. Large sums OF
money are also pouring into their
Golfers from neighboring States.
Under the law as proposed in the
last Democratic National platform,
the States could help themselves and
need not wait for Congress to act in

morning it stood at 16 degrees below

weather the Northern Pacific had been
able to keep its line open, east and

were running on the feeder lines and
many cars were stuck in the snow
drifts and traffic was necessarily sus-

Judge has declared that street-kiss-
ing is not necessary immoral, and
the matter is considered of sufficient
Importance to he cabled to all parts

student, Arnold Schmidt. taking
leave of young lady just at the en-
trance of her home, gave her a ten
der kiss This so shocked a clerk
who saw the embrace, that he COM
planned to the police. and Schmidt
was arrested for q breach of the
public morals. He pleaded in court
that his kiss was token of respect
to the maiden. A married lady liv-
ing in the house, who was an invol-
untary witness of the kissing from
her window. told the magistrate that
she withdrew from the window at
once because kissing was not aesthetic.
The court after much deliberatiOn dis
missed the case, holding that kiss
ing was no transgression of common

q matter of taste, considered from

would consider it good taste from any
